"Mike was a pleasure to work with as we discussed each drywall project I wanted done and he explained how he was going to address each item. He prepared each work area with protective coverings and thoroughly cleaned up after the job was complete. I'm very pleased with the quality of his work and that of his nephew. I will definitely hire Mike for future drywall and ceiling resurfacing projects."

"Nathan is top quality! Fair pricing. Doesn't break the bank. I've hired him for two jobs now. The kitchen ceiling drywall and the garage ceiling, walls, and corners repair. Jobs were both top notch! Cleans up very well after himself and preps the areas before beginning the jobs. Shows up when scheduled!! I definitely and highly recommend Nathan. Very nice and personable, which is a bonus! 5 ☆☆☆☆☆ Michelle and Mike"

"Robert Perry aka Dr. Drywall did an exceptional job in my master bedroom. The ceiling needed replacing and it looks brand new. The walls look great. My house is nearly 100 years old and after his work in that room it looks nice and modern. I would recommend Bob to anyone."

"M Lopez, installed drywall in the second story of my bungalow. They did an amazing job of straightening out the wavy walls of this 1890s house, laser straight (literally). Pride in workmanship is top notch, highly recommend them. Courteous, punctual and constant communication are a bonus."

"Ron was excellent to work with. His prices were very fair and reasonable. His crew was very professional and showed up every day. I have had a run on at least 20+ projects. Some of them were for a couple hundred dollars and some of them were closer to $500,000. I highly recommend his services."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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.

Furring strips, thin strips of wood or metal, are not always required for ceiling drywall installation. If the ceiling surface is even and in good condition, drywall can be directly attached to the ceiling joists using screws. However, furring strips become essential when dealing with irregular surfaces or when additional insulation or soundproofing is needed. They create a level substrate for attaching the drywall. Ultimately, the decision to use furring strips depends on the condition of the existing ceiling and the specific requirements of the project.

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

While every home has its own unique needs, ceiling drywall installation typically follows a staggered or stepped pattern to enhance structural integrity and reduce the visibility of seams. Starting from one corner, sheets are placed perpendicular to the ceiling joists, with the ends of adjacent sheets meeting along the center of the joist. The next row begins with a half sheet, ensuring joints don't align vertically. This alternating pattern, combined with proper taping and mudding, creates a seamless appearance and strengthens the ceiling structure, minimizing the risk of cracks over time.

If your home’s foundation shifts slightly over time, any seams in the drywall represent the weakest point in the wall, leading to cracks. If your home has significant changes in temperature and humidity, this can cause the drywall to swell and contract slightly, causing a crack at the weak point of the seam. If your drywall installer did a poor job securing the panels to the wall studs, this could cause a weak layout and cracks in the seams.
