"John kept our house clean while he worked on our painting and drywall repair job for 3 days. The quoting process was easy and professionally laid out with all the details included. Excellent quality of work. John goes above and beyond to make the project go smoothly start to finish. Knowledgeable about mold as well. We will have him back for more painting and will recommend him to anyone."

"Jay does amazing work down to fine detail and listens to what the homeowner wants. Our home was big project (drywall repairs, paint walls, trim, and ceiling) and I am thoroughly impressed by how every edge of every trim and angle is cut precisely. There’s no paint bleeding from the trim to the wall, from the wall to the ceiling, from the trim to the floor. The ceilings have no roller lines left over. Every trim nail is punched and every crack and crevice is caulked. People who think they can paint their own house aren’t going to take all of this work and time into consideration. All I had to do was choose colors and finishes and he did the rest with great hustle and attitude. Well worth it & will definitely be going with High Standards Drywall LLC from now on."

"We hired R and D Drywall to complete drywall and painting for bathrooms, hallways, and one bedroom. Shawn was prompt in quoting and inspecting after completion. DJ, Justin & Paul did a great job and were very thorough. They put everything back in order and cleaned up completely. We will definitely hire again we've already asked Shawn for another quote on a different area in the house."

"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"

"Very special thanks to "Something New Painting And Renovations." They turned chaos into a state of the art classroom and media center for Canterbury Academy for Gifted Students. I couldn't recommend them higher!! They renovated 3 rooms due to flooding. Which included drywall repair. Plus replacing carpet with a mix of epoxy and enamel flooring. Also the team created a new room for us. Full drywall and enamel flooring. Electrical and lighting. Excellent results."

"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."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Drywall can be installed directly on ceiling joists. In fact, this method is common in many construction projects. Drywall sheets are attached to the joists using screws, ensuring a secure and stable installation. Before attaching the drywall, it's important to mark the joist locations on the ceiling, allowing for accurate screw placement. Proper spacing between screws and careful taping and mudding of joints are crucial to creating a smooth and flawless ceiling surface. If the joists are in good condition and level, installing drywall directly on them is a practical and efficient approach.

You can paint over plaster, but repair any damage to the plaster first, or the paint will crack and bubble. You should also prepare the surface of the plaster to accept paint, which gives your paint job the best chance of looking good and lasting a long time. Before applying the color you want, apply a coat or two of primer. Additionally, use latex paint, and choose a latex paint with a satin finish for areas with dampness, like bathrooms.

The two most common drywall thicknesses for ceilings are 1/2-inch and 5/8-inch. For most standard residential applications, 1/2-inch drywall is sufficient and widely used. It provides adequate support and is lighter and easier to handle during installation compared to thicker sheets. However, 5/8-inch drywall is often used for specific cases where additional benefits are needed. It is heavier but provides superior sound dampening and fire resistance. You should consider using 5/8-inch drywall for ceilings in commercial buildings, between a garage and a living space, or above a finished basement to meet building codes or for enhanced soundproofing.

You should leave a gap between drywall sheets because they naturally expand and contract along with the building framing as temperature and humidity change. Most pro drywall installers leave a gap of about ⅛ inch between drywall sheets, allowing the sheets to expand, contract, and shift without cracking or becoming damaged. If you don’t leave enough gaps between slabs, the edges will press against each other when they expand, and the pressure can cause visible cracks.

Certain drywall textures, like sand and sometimes popcorn, can be smoothed by applying skim coats, sanding the walls, or chipping away the texture. However, it’s worth considering removing the texture and starting with a blank canvas. Smoothing textured walls requires a lot of sandpaper and elbow grease and can take longer than just outright removing the texture.
