Can you drywall over plaster?

• <div><p>You can drywall over plaster, but there are some things to consider. First, installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall’s thickness. This could create challenges for window and door frames that no longer fit the wall’s thickness. You may also have to adjust power outlets so they are accessible. When done right, drywall can create a smooth, flat appearance, but it’s best when handled by professionals.</p></div>

Q: How do I choose the right size of wall anchors?

• <div><p>Choosing the right size of wall anchors is essential for a secure installation. The size of the wall anchors should match the size of the screws you plan to use. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the specific wall anchors you purchase. Typically, the packaging of the wall anchors will indicate the appropriate screw size and diameter for a proper fit.</p></div>

Q: Does it matter which side of drywall you use?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Can I mud drywall myself, or should I hire a pro?

• <div><p>Mudding drywall is a DIY-friendly project, but patience and practice are required for perfection. If you&rsquo;re working in a highly visible area and want the best possible finish, hiring a professional drywaller is worth the cost. Pros have the tools and know-how to ensure a smooth surface with fewer sanding sessions and less cleanup.</p></div>

Q: Does drywall need to be replaced after water damage?

• <div><p>Water-damaged drywall should almost always be replaced. Not only does it look bad, it&rsquo;s a breeding ground for toxic mold. Even if you think the area is dry and there&rsquo;s no active leak, the only way to be sure is to cut out the damaged area and see for yourself.</p></div>

We had used Guy Johnson previously for installing a wood fence in our yard a couple years ago and he did a "beautiful job" on that. We weren't aware of his services for drywall until we found him on Angie's List and were thrilled to find him there because we were familiar with him and know the...

We needed a closet wall sheetrocked, a wall replastered, several ceilings repaired and painted and our concrete front porch and front door repaired and painted. Kevin Babcock was great to work with. He was here every day on time, as promised, until the job was done, which took several weeks. He...

They came when they said they would, pulled the required permits, and did a very nice job. They are a little pricier than other companies, but they do quality work and you can count on the fact that they will do the work they say they will.

I had gotten three estimates. Jay's was not necessarily the least expensive, but we felt that he was more willing to work with what we had. Jay was very willing to work within our budget. He offered suggestions to reduce costs. The basement remodel turned out better than I had imagined it could....

It turned out great. The workers were on time and very polite and the work was top notch. After repainting you can not tell there was any work done at all. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

"We hired Jose & his crew at All Phase Drywall & Painting to do some drywall repair and interior painting. Jose is very professional and responded quickly to our inquiry.
