"We had a simply amazing experience with PATCHWORX.PRO. They expertly closed up a doorway-sized opening between 2 rooms - you can't tell the opening was ever there. In addition, they fixed all the cracks in the drywall (walls and ceilings) and nail pops from the natural course of our house settling over 4 years. They painted all the areas and perfectly color-matched everything, and repaired or replaced and painted quarter round as needed. The owner, Scott, is responsive (he called within 5 minutes of me requesting a quote and was able to come out the same day for an estimate) and engaged before, during and at completion of the work. The crew (Carlos was our awesome foreman) were polite, communicative, careful and diligent (and cleaned everything up each day). Even better, the pricing is quite reasonable and they were able to complete the work quickly. I really canâ t say enough about our positive experience and the high quality of their work. We HIGHLY recommend PATCHWORX.PRO!"

"Had drywall installed and painted for a large family room. I received a few estimates and they had the lowest price. The owner was on site the entire time. The complete crew was very skilled, neat and professional. After fully making payment I noticed some minor touch up work that could only be seen later in the evening under dim lighting. I notified the owner and he and the crew came back the next two work days and resolved the touch ups. It was very professional in my opinion to make it a priority to return as soon as possible to complete the touch up work even after already being paid. I highly recommend their work."

"I hired Pete to install drywall after a bedroom renovation. I do my own home improvements but was in a hurry to get this project done. Pete and his crew completed the job quickly. He was punctual and courteous and he went out of his way to make sure the work area was clean and that I was happy with the end results before accepting final payment."

"Larry Gray and Staff showed up on time and were very professional in their efforts to explain the Drywall Poject, provided a quote and sent their professional staff to complete the Drywall Project at a very favorable price. Clean up after they completed the work. I will definitely use their services again. (Christine & Ben from Bowie, MD)."

He has worked on multiple projects for me over the years and has done an excellent job on each of them. Highly recommend!"

"D&L did a fantastic, professional job in my house. Their workmanship was high quality, efficient, and they took great care in getting the paint lines clean around the trim and doors. The crew was extremely neat and cleaned up thoroughly when they were done."

"10/10 for communication, cleanliness, and thoroughness!!! I'm already lining up more jobs for them to do! I hired them to insulate and drywall our garage. They communicated every step of the way, which was reassuring. Their drywall team are super hard workers; they even cleaned the garage floor after they were done each day! They are also very reasonably priced. Definitely give them a try!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Technically speaking, you can use drywall primer over plasters. However, oil-based primers work the most effectively on wall plasters. Meanwhile, water-based primers work just as well with drywalls. Nowadays, there are also universal primers suitable for drywall and plaster. Overall, you will be fine as long as you are using a trustworthy brand.

Plaster ceilings can sag for several reasons. In some cases, the plaster and other building materials shift and come apart over time, which is why you’ll commonly find drooping plaster ceilings in older homes. Improper installation, foot traffic, and water damage—often from a leaky roof or a broken pipe—can also cause plaster ceilings to sag.

Plaster walls typically last between 30 and 70 years, but depending on the quality of the materials and the moisture levels in the building, they can last for over 100 years. With expert application and consistent maintenance, plaster can even last for centuries. To extend its lifespan, it is important to have the plaster professionally installed, address any water damage promptly, and repair small cracks as they appear. Regular inspections by a professional can help identify and address concerning cracks before they become significant issues.

You should always hang drywall from the top down. Starting at the top makes it easier to create a straight, tight line between the ceiling and the wall. Any gaps that occur will be at the bottom, where they are easier to manage. You can either cut the bottom piece of drywall to fit the remaining space or cover the gap with baseboard trim. Additionally, starting at the top is physically easier, as you won't have to fit the top sheet into a tight space between the lower sheet and the ceiling, or try to balance the upper sheets on the lower ones while securing them.

It doesn’t matter which way you lay drywall, and you can choose to install it horizontally or vertically depending on the size of the wall and how tall the ceiling is. It’s easier to lay drywall sheets vertically if you have a taller ceiling, but laying sheets horizontally makes it easier to apply joint compound.
