"Eamon helped insulate and plaster wall in my master bathroom after it had to be torn apart due to water damage. He was respectful, on time and did a great job. His pricing is also reasonable. If anybody needs a plasterer, I highly recommend him. Thanks Eamon!"
"George does great work, he fixed our ceiling after a leak damaged the drywall and you would never know that there was water damage there. He was efficient, professional, and even cleaned up after the job was done. Highly recommend him for any drywall and plaster projects."
"I spoke with Alex in the morning about what I was looking to have done, he came out later that day to provide us with a quote, within a couple of weeks they were able to come in and complete the job. Our ceilings that we had done look great, I would definitely recommend AOS Drywall and use them for future projects."
"Gary is very pleasant and professional to work with. Communication is great, pricing is fair and the quality of his work is top notch. The project he completed for me was taping/finishing the drywall in my 1500 sq ft 3 bedroom apartment with 9' ceilings. He was able to complete the job (and a few extra patches) in about 5/6 days by himself. Finished product is perfect and would definitely hire him again for any future work. Gary is very easy to work with and would recommend him to anyone looking for drywall work."
"We had fantastic work and timeline from Bob. They replastered our textured ceilings over 4 days and did a fantastic job. Bob was quick and easy to communicate with, as well as scheduling (estimate and work days). Several other contractors who came through the house complimented their work and the speed of the job."
"We had ceiling damage from water and Jeff and his team did a great job. Removed the old ceiling, working around the beams and replaced and plastered. Looks great. Showed up on time, very efficient and completed the work in time quoted. Left the area very clean and we are very happy with the work."
"Great company. Came and saved us in a pinch. The quality is superb and above and beyond by fixing some drywall flaws. Cleaned up their workspace and delivered a great product. Will use them again"
"Ari replaced a balcony floor. Worked 1 day in rain and 1 day in bitter cold. He is a perfectionist and did a beautiful job. I could not be happier with the finished job."
Drywall can get wet and dry out without sustaining permanent damage, but only if the water damage is minor. If you have a small leak and are quick to correct the issue and set up blower fans and dehumidifiers, your drywall should dry out. If the leak is persistent, the drywall becomes totally waterlogged, or mold begins forming on the drywall, you should remove and replace it.
The cost to skim coat drywall is $1.15 to $1.35 per square foot. Most of the cost is labor, for the necessary skills to apply the skim coat with precision using high-quality tools. This is a job better left to the professionals for the best outcomes.
Yes, small, superficial cracks are normal as homes settle. Older homes have a higher chance of showing signs of settling through hairline cracks from temperature changes, moisture changes, and soil shifting. However, larger cracks, or discolored cracks from water damage, may signify a bigger problem that requires reparations and preventative measures.
While not always necessary, you can glue a drywall ceiling in addition to using screws or nails. Drywall is typically secured to ceiling joists with fasteners, which is often sufficient. However, adding construction adhesive can offer benefits like preventing sagging, bridging gaps, and reducing air leaks for better energy efficiency. It may also be used for specific acoustic or insulation needs. On the other hand, many professionals advise against it because properly placed screws make the drywall structural, glue doesn't add strength, and it makes future repairs or replacements significantly more difficult. Ultimately, it's best to follow local building codes and project-specific requirements to decide if adhesive is right for your ceiling.
