"I contacted G&G Drywall to give me an estimate on repairing the ceiling in my family room. He came out the next day to give me the estimate for doing the room. The price was reasonable, so I added the living room ceiling. They arrived at 8:00 a.m. and proceeded to move and cover everything. By 2:00 p.m. they were in the process of cleaning up. I have never seen a contractor get on his knees to vacuum up every bit of insulation and dust they could see. I am so so very pleased with the work performed by Guy Graham and his crew. Polite, professional and I would recommend them to anyone looking for drywall service. They are definitely a cut above the rest!"

"Kevin with Local Handyman Pros recently remodeled my bathroom and I can’t recommend him enough. They replaced my vanity, toilet, lights, painted the walls, and did the flooring. I have used them for many projects over the years and have referred the company to others. From the start of the project, they were fast to respond, transparent, about pricing, and showed up on time. Best experience I have had with a service professional!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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.

It’s always better to follow proven drywall repair tips and fix the seams that look bad. However, if you simply want to make them less noticeable until you have time to fix them, you can use paint. A darker color of paint makes bad drywall tape seams less noticeable than light-colored paint. Matte paint hides bad seams better than glossy paint does, too.

While certain types of textured walls can seem dated (looking at you, popcorn), textured walls are a common sight in both older and more modern homes. The main reason textured walls may be here to stay is that they are an excellent way to hide minor imperfections on a wall and give it a finished appearance. Some homeowners think a coat of paint on drywall is a bit industrial-looking. However, that look works perfectly in modern home design

Choose a drill bit that is the size of the screws of the anchors you will use. You aren’t drilling through metal or concrete—hopefully—so any standard twist, wooden or all-purpose drill bit will work fine. It’s also important to have a screwdriver capable of drilling through the drywall and into the stud. The good news is most available drills, even the older ones, can do this with no issue.

It is more difficult to drywall a ceiling than it is to drywall a wall, but not so hard that DIYers can’t tackle it. One of the main issues with hanging drywall on your ceiling is getting it into place. Drywall isn’t light so, if you are hanging full drywall panels, you will need at least two (it’s better with more) people to hold the panel while you drill it into the ceiling as a single piece can weigh between 40 and 60 pounds and will need to be held in place for up to 10 minutes.
