"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

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.

Drywall can be installed directly on ceiling joists. In fact, this method is common in many construction projects. Drywall sheets are attached to the joists using screws, ensuring a secure and stable installation. Before attaching the drywall, it's important to mark the joist locations on the ceiling, allowing for accurate screw placement. Proper spacing between screws and careful taping and mudding of joints are crucial to creating a smooth and flawless ceiling surface. If the joists are in good condition and level, installing drywall directly on them is a practical and efficient approach.

Metal corners, often referred to as corner beads for square corners, are used on drywall installations to provide structural reinforcement to vulnerable outside corners. Their usage safeguards against chipping, denting, or other forms of damage, enhancing the overall durability of the wall. Metal corners also offer a precise and straight edge that facilitates sharp and clean lines, crucial for achieving a polished and professional finish.

You shouldn’t leave drywall outside overnight, especially if you live in a wet or humid climate. The moisture from humidity, rain, or other elements can damage the drywall, making it weaker and susceptible to mold growth. Stash any extra drywall in a dry area away from the elements to protect it from moisture.

Drywall is safe to cut as long as you follow proper procedures, such as wearing personal protective equipment and using the right tools to score and cut the drywall. When cutting new drywall, it can release dust with silica and other compounds that could pose health risks. Leave cutting drywall to the pros, or wear a high-quality respiratory mask, goggles, and other PPE when handling drywall.
