"The 13 foot cathedral ceiling in our 22x22 foot playroom was in terrible shape from age - cracks, dingy popcorn texture. Then a skylight leaked damaging some of the drywall ceiling. I was worried about the significant cracks. Steve explained how he uses screws to reinforce each side of the crack, then applies a fiberglass type of tape that resists cracking before mudding and sanding. I hired him for his knowledge, pictures he supplied of his work, especially concerning cracks, and his thorough explanation of what he planned to attack my ceiling problems. This was a HUGE job. Steve protected the tongue and groove wood walls, fixtures, and cabinets with plastic and the floor with heavy duty paper. The finished work was just beautiful. Every once in a while you discover a professional that you keep in your records for any future work you may need. Steve is my drywall and ceiling pro that I will be recommending to friends and family if they need this kind of work! The result is just stunning!"

"Crew is prompt, very experienced, clean, polite, hard working. They removed old paneling, installed drywall, replaced interior doors,refit all the trim woodwork, prime, and painted. The paneling and the new drywall are not the same thickness, so everything (doors, baseboard, crown moulding, light switches, plugs) had to be adjusted to fit. All the work was done quickly, professionally, and well. I'd call them back for any other work I have in the future."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.

You should leave a gap between drywall sheets because they naturally expand and contract along with the building framing as temperature and humidity change. Most pro drywall installers leave a gap of about ⅛ inch between drywall sheets, allowing the sheets to expand, contract, and shift without cracking or becoming damaged. If you don’t leave enough gaps between slabs, the edges will press against each other when they expand, and the pressure can cause visible cracks.

When sanding drywall mud, you’re going to create a very fine dust that may contain silica. Silica dust contains crystalline silica, which can cause long-term illnesses for people who inhale it in significant quantities. Wear a mask while sanding drywall. Then dampen a drywall sponge to wipe the dust off the drywall, helping to reduce the amount of dust that may become airborne.

Yes, you can hammer a nail into a wall stud. But before you do, it’s important to confirm that you’re actually nailing into a stud—and not wiring, pipes, or ductwork. To check, find a few more studs in the wall, then measure to make sure they’re either 16 or 24 inches apart.

You can put drywall mud over paint to even out the surface or entirely resurface it. Sand the surface with 280-grit sandpaper, vacuum the debris and dust with a shop vac, and clean it with a slightly damp cloth. Allow the surface to dry. Apply drywall primer, especially if you’re skim-coating an entire wall. Apply the right type of drywall mud over the surface and smooth it with a trowel. Allow the layer to cure fully, then sand it before applying another layer or painting it.
