"We hired Built Better Construction (Grant) to patch a can light in our ceiling and fix a spot in our wall. Grant was very efficient and very professional. His work is always top notch, quick, and affordable. I’ve hired Grant on several different projects and will continue to use him."

"Mr. Staton came when he said he would, did the work in a timely manner at a reasonable price. He is a hard worker and takes pride in his work. I have already refered him to 3 of my friends, 2 of which the projects he has already completed and they were pleased with his work/price also. If I have jobs in the future for a handyman/painter, he will definitely be the one I call."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Walls should be as smooth as possible before applying peel-and-stick wallpaper. Although you technically can apply wallpaper on textured walls, the peel-and-stick variety won’t last long without a clean, smooth surface for the adhesive to stick to. If you have textured walls, consult a pro about removing the textured finish before moving forward with wallpaper.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

Plaster is denser, harder, and more porous than drywall, so it absorbs moisture differently. This means you’ll often need more prep work, such as thorough sanding, patching, and priming with a high-quality bonding primer. Additionally, you may need more coats of paint to achieve even coverage. While the process takes more time, it helps ensure a durable and professional-looking result.

The best tool for skim coating drywall is a skim coating blade, which can smooth out joint compound in wide stretches. While you could use a smaller drywall knife for skim coating, the smaller size means it’ll take longer to smooth out each section. Instead, consider investing in a skim coating blade for the quickest application.

In most cases, no, you won’t need a permit to replace drywall. If you’re changing the floorplan of your home by adding or removing walls during the drywall project, then you might need a permit, but replacement or repairs usually doesn’t require a permit. Your drywall professional should be able to confirm whether or not a permit is required for your project. If it is, it’s likely to add between $50 and $150 to your total cost. Keep in mind that you will need permits if you plan to install new electrical wiring or plumbing lines behind your new drywall.
