"If anyone is looking to finish their garage or detached garage and loft you should consider securing Silas and his team! They are professional, punctual and dedicated to getting the job done RIGHT and most importantly, to your liking! He and his team did our insulation, drywall, paint, baseboards, and flooring! Silas communicates each day his comings, goings, and next steps. He and his team worked long hours to get the job done and we could not be happier with how our project turned out! He even, hung the curtains over the steps as we would not have been able to do it ourselves! I highly recommend Silas C. Drywall!!!"

"After a washing machine overflowed on our second floor, we were left with water leaking through our first-floor ceiling. Once the water mitigation was complete, we needed professional drywall and painting work. Mike Miranda and the team at Hole in the Wall showed up early to give us a quote, which turned out to be by far the most fair price we received. Mike gave me a clear date and time, and his team arrived early, exhibiting an excellent work ethic and top-tier professionalism. ​Their craftsmanship is so flawless that you honestly cannot tell where the damage originally was. Beyond the quality of the work, I felt completely comfortable having them in our house—everyone was incredibly friendly and genuinely cared about ensuring the final result met our expectations. This company will leave your home looking even better than its original state. I highly recommend Hole in the Wall for any drywall or painting needs!"

Small jobs welcome

"We hired Keen Precision Drywall to finish our shed that will be used as a s/he shed, complete with electric. The shed is now ready for paint and decor and their work was impressive. They were always on time, communicating any issues that they ran into that were inevitably the fault of the builder. From the very beginning they were transparent with pricing and responsive to any questions we had even prior to being hired for the job. I would not hesitate to hire Kevin again for any other work at our home and we would happily refer them to others."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, you can apply new plaster over an existing plaster surface, such as a wall or ceiling, provided the old plaster is in good condition. Before you begin, check the stability of the existing plaster. The surface must be clean, free of loose material, and have no peeling paint. It is also recommended to roughen the surface slightly to promote adhesion. For older plaster, applying a base coat like a PVA emulsion or a specific bonding agent or primer is crucial. This step makes the existing plaster less porous and ensures the new and old layers adhere properly for a smooth, long-lasting finish.

When doing a DIY paint job, it can be tricky to achieve the perfect, straight line between your wall and ceiling. There are several methods, including lining it with painter’s tape and using the “cut in” brush tactic. Some homeowners choose to apply a thin line of caulk to the wall-ceiling seam to create the appearance of a perfect line.

Installing or repairing plaster on ceilings differs slightly from performing the same motions on a wall. You’ll apply slightly less plaster to lower the overall weight of the ceiling. Wall texturing is common, whereas most ceilings are smooth plaster. Tough coat plaster is strong, meaning you can use less while retaining a solid surface.

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.
