"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."

"GrayCo served as General Contractor and Drywall and Paint Contractors for our home that was flooded on 2 to 3 floors. They also obtained and coordinated with other skillful contractors to ensure that our home was made whole. The drywall, painting, carpet, recessed lights, and hardwood floors turned out magnificent. The GrayCo team and associates were professional, dedicated, and skillful. They were always on time and did a great job with clean up. They completed the project in a very timely matter and kept us up to date on all aspects of the project. The owners, Larry and Danielle, showed a deep commitment to completing our project and following up on every detail. They were excellent at coordinating with our insurance company. Highly Recommend Gray Co. Highly Recommend GrayCo!"

"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

All plaster walls will crack over time due to normal house settling and expansion and contraction from temperature and moisture changes. Small, thin hairline cracks are generally not serious and are mostly a cosmetic issue. However, larger or more significant cracks can indicate structural problems.

Here's how to tell the difference:

  • Cosmetic Cracks: Cracks that are 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) or thinner are typically cosmetic.

  • Structural Cracks: Cracks wider than 0.5 cm, excessive or deep cracks, multiple cracks in the same area, or cracks that span around corners can signify a structural or foundation issue. Cracks along the joints where walls meet the ceiling also warrant attention.

For cracks wider than 0.5 cm, structural repair is needed. If a crack is 2.5 cm (1 inch) or wider, or if you notice any signs of a structural problem, it is best to contact a plaster repair professional to assess the damage.

You should wait at least 24 hours for drywall mud to dry before sanding or applying another coat. However, the exact drying time depends on several factors, including the thickness of the application, room temperature, humidity, and the type of compound used. Thicker layers, or projects in high humidity, may require 48 hours or more. Lightweight compounds tend to dry faster than heavier, all-purpose ones. You'll know the mud is ready when it feels completely dry and firm to the touch and has changed to a consistent light color. Sanding too early can cause smudging or gouges, so patience is essential for a smooth finish.

Yes, it matters which side of drywall you use. One side is smooth, and the other is rough. The smooth side should be facing outward, toward the room, while the rough side should be hidden and facing the studs and framing of the house. The smooth side will be easier to apply tape, joint compound, and, later, paint to.

Yes, any parts of drywall that are wet or overly moist will need to be replaced. Drywall is intended to be dry (it’s in the name, after all.), as excess moisture can lead to mold and mildew and eventually corrode your home’s foundational building pieces. Do regular inspections in your home to make sure all your plumbing is intact and in good condition—this will go a long way toward preventing leaks.

There are some instances when you can use extra drywall in your garden. Ideally, unused scraps of new drywall are best for amending soil without the concern of additional chemicals or mold. However, drywall with paint, mold, or potential asbestos requires specialized disposal by a professional and should be kept out of your garden.
