"We originally had Rick rebuild all new kitchen cabinets along with several other kitchen improvements. He and his work impressed us, and ultimately we brought him back to do windows, garage work, and recently he has completed a "man cave, including bar' in our basement. All this came at a reasonable price! Rick gets our recommendation."

"We recently purchased a fixer-upper that needed a great deal of interior painting. Along with a ton of prep work, the living room had a cathedral ceiling. We are not fans of heights, so we needed to find a painting company to handle the work. Luckily we found Michael Pelletier, owner of Clean Cut Painting out of Bethel, ME. Michael came out on a weekend and provided us with a very fair price to repair cracks, patch severely damaged drywall, paint all of the ceilings and the wall color for the living room. His team came in and did a fantastic job of treating the stains and patched up all of the damaged area. The painting was top-notch as the ceilings looked clean and sharp. They worked quickly and did a fantastic job---we were very satisfied with Clean Cut Painting's work!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

You can take a few steps to save money on drywall installation, even when hiring a professional to do the bulk of the work for you. These ideas include the following:

  • Buy the drywall and other materials yourself to avoid product markup and delivery fees

  • Ask about discounts if you use the same company to tape, spackle, and paint

  • Hire drywall professionals in the winter when demand is the lowest

  • DIY as many parts of the project as possible, like replacing insulation and painting

Yes, you can install drywall over plaster, but there are important factors to consider. While it can create a smooth, flat surface, it is often not the best approach. Installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall's thickness, which can cause issues with existing window and door frames that may no longer fit. You might also need to adjust power outlets to keep them accessible. A better, though more expensive, option is to remove the old plaster and lath entirely before installing new drywall. Drywalling directly over plaster seals in the old material, and if any problems arise later, you will need to remove both layers down to the structural beams for repairs. Given the potential complications, this job is best handled by professionals.

You may need to replace drywall because of smoke damage. If the drywall is covered in soot, you may be able to clean it, but it will require a lot of time and effort. You could spend hours cleaning the drywall only to find there is more damage and it needs to be replaced anyway. It’s usually easier and safer to remove the smoke-damaged drywall and replace it.

Depending on the place where the cutting error occurred, you may be able to fix it. Learning how to patch a hole in drywall is challenging, but if you can tape and mud drywall, you can do it. Having said that, patching is time consuming. Early in the installation process, you may find that it’s easier and far less time consuming to just start over with a new sheet of drywall, cutting a new hole in the right spot. You may be able to use part of the incorrectly cut piece elsewhere, so it’s not completely wasted.

Your walls are likely cracking due to fluctuations in the temperature outside. Drywall tends to expand and contract when temperatures and humidity levels change, and this repeated movement can lead to cracks in your walls, particularly around door frames. If you have multiple diagonal cracks, you may want to have your foundation inspected, as cracks can also be a sign of a bigger issue.
