"Erick and his team are amazing! Will never use anyone else!! They replaced our damaged and old ceilings (we bought a condo in Boston built in the late 1800s and his team was able to handle all the unexpected challenges) and also painted our ceilings, walls and trims. Reasons why you should use them: 1. From the start, Erick communicated every thing to me on what the work would entail, what could be done/ what couldn’t, his advice based off his experience… extremely trustworthy and not trying to be salesy at all. He also was very patient in all the questions I had and was able to explain everything in terms I would understand (as I am a first time home buyer). 2. He met his deadline and got everything done within two weeks as promised. 3. He sent me pictures everyday with updates on the work since we were not living in the home yet. Super helpful. 4. His pricing is extremely fair 5. He is super knowledgeable and passionate about his work Thanks for making our first home perfect! "

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Generally, shower walls should not be installed over drywall because of the moisture issues this can cause. If you’re using a direct-to-stud shower kit, you need to remove the drywall before you can do the installation.

However, if you’re using a glue-up shower kit or stall, you can glue the shower walls directly to drywall. Be sure to install a moisture-resistant drywall or waterproof cement board.

It’s less costly to drywall a fireplace than shiplapping it since material costs are higher for shiplap. However, if you’re DIYing the project, shiplap is less expensive since you won’t have to pay for labor. With drywall, getting a smooth finish is difficult unless you’re a pro. Shiplap is ideal for an accent wall or unique space, such as around a fireplace, since it adds texture and gives off a cozy vibe.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

You may not need to use a drywall anchor, depending on what you're hanging and where you're hanging it. If you can nail or screw into a wooden stud, the wood will provide enough support and stability in many cases. If you're hanging something very lightweight, you can use picture hanging strips to hold it in place. 

Yes, it’s possible to hang drywall by yourself, but it can be challenging (and more expensive). Without an extra set of hands, you’ll need to invest in a drywall lift to position the heavy drywall sheets on the wall. You can buy one of these drywall tools for a few hundred dollars at your nearest home improvement store.
