"We had shelves installed in our coat closet to turn it into a pantry, and Brian Clark did a great job. He made sure he understood exactly what we wanted before starting, worked professionally, and was prompt and efficient. We’re very happy with the results and would definitely recommend him."

"Rick finished our unfinished basement by putting up walls, redoing the stairs, putting up a ceiling, adding barn doors, and installing lights and outlets. This was such an important project for my family to give us much-needed space to spend time together and Rick did an amazing job! We had some challenges with finishing the basement and Rick did a fantastic job of offering ideas and suggestions. Rick is very reasonable in his pricing and also very dedicated and has fantastic workmanship. My family and I truly enjoyed working with him and plan to again for any future projects."

"We hired Michael for a drywall project on a new post and beam home. He completed the work in the time frame stated for the quoted price. The work was excellent and he left the site clean every day. Although my budget didn't allow for painting he provided advice and recommendations that allowed us to complete our project successfully. I would highly recommend Michael and his team."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

A nail in drywall cannot hold very much—usually only a few pounds. A nail in a stud can add support and hold around 20 pounds. If you are trying to hang something heavier, get some help from drywall anchors—toggle bolts are very strong and able to withstand more weight.

Wall anchors are suitable for drywall and plaster walls, which are common in most homes. However, different wall materials may require specialized anchors. For concrete or masonry walls, you'd typically use concrete anchors. When dealing with other wall types, such as brick or tile, specific anchors designed for those materials may be necessary. Always consult with a hardware specialist or check the manufacturer's recommendations to ensure you select the appropriate anchors for your specific wall type.

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.

If you want to reduce sound transmission throughout your home, soundproofing drywall is a better choice than standard drywall. However, simply installing soundproofing drywall may not completely block out noise. You’ll get the best results from incorporating it into a larger soundproofing plan that includes proper insulation and framing studs.

Knowing what causes drywall damage can help stop it before it starts. Here are some of the most common causes of drywall damage: 

  • Water damage from roof leaks or leaky pipes. 

  • Small holes caused by doorknobs, minor accidents, and rodent infestations. 

  • Wall dents stemming from moving furniture and minor accidents. 

  • Wall cracks that form from a settling foundation or seismic activity. 

  • Nail pops from nails and screws in the walls. 

  • Large holes that are caused by accidents with heavy objects, children and pets, or sporting equipment.
