"Jon provided outstanding service. I installed new drywall for a basement project (game room, bathroom and closet) myself but needed a professional for the finishing work of taping, cornering and mudding. Jon did a phenomenal job, kept the work area clean -- no dust in the house, was prompt and provided a timeline of the work to me before he started so I knew what to expect. His price was very reasonable. A prior reviewer said "he is very professional and an all around good guy." I agree!"

"Troy and his crew did a great job on the drywall hanging, taping and mudding in my basement walls and ceiling. The crew that was here was all very respectful and polite and my basement looks great!"

Customers say: True professional

"I was a general contractor for 20 plus years locally. I have been out of it now for 21 years. Being my own home, and being known for a stickler for perfection, hiring a new drywall company was not easy. I had met Dave at the church we attend, and thought I would give him a try. I was totally amazed at the efficiency and quality of his work! I am not easily impressed when it comes to construction details, but he totally exceeded my expectations! I will certainly be using Malkerson Drywall on any future projects!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

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

The amount of drywall you need for a 1,000-square-foot basement depends on the ceiling height, angles, number of doors and windows, and more. To find the wall square footage, multiply the width and height of each wall, minus any gaps from windows or doors, and add the totals together. You’ll also need enough drywood nails or screws to install the drywall correctly.

Drywalling a garage is a smart decision if you want to protect your garage from fires, moisture damage, and exterior noise. Most garages have flammable supplies that could result in serious damage in the off chance of an accident. Drywall is fire resistant, helping to prevent fires from spreading. Not to mention, drywall can improve the appearance of a dingy, old garage.

You can skim coat plaster, but it’s better to repair the plaster itself. A skim coat is a thin coat of drywall joint compound spread over the surface of a wall. The result is a flat finish that looks pleasing, but part of the appeal of plaster is its imperfections and aesthetic. Skim coating is best when limited to drywall applications.
