"David was very professional. A-grade work. He did what he said and blowed us away with an exceptional work. He is a must recruit for drywall. He was on time. Provided every detail before the work started and made sure the place to be clean after he completed. Definitely a 5 star."

"Wes was very quick in his response. Wes and Jay came out and repaired my bathroom ceiling. Drywall was replaced then retextured in the same day. Quick and great service. Now I can put my house on the market next week!"

"Angelo was fantastic, he came same-day to check out my project. He was insightful, curious, and was a huge help! His team came next day to fulfill and complete the drywall project and I could not recommend them more for projects in the Charlotte area. They were extremely friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable answering any questions I had thoughtfully and with patience. As a new home owner, I’ll continue to use Angelo and his team for all future projects!"

"Another great job by Dave from his team Cransten Handyman and Remodeling, we had a ceiling leak that had done some damage in our garage they removed all the molded things, took out the damage, replaced insulation, put up new drywall, and painted and all looks great again. I am very satisfied with their work, a very knowledgeable team. I recommend this company for having a professional worker!"

"Our experience with City Limits Construction was "Outstanding." We explained our issue with our Widows and drywall, that might have had mildew, and Nick knew exactly what it was and repaired our parlor and Dinning room. Very professional, within our budget, and completed the job in almost half the time allotted for the project. When Nick left our Home, the area was spotless, and No construction pieces or parts were left in our house. On-time when we made the appointment and super professional...knows his craft. We definitely will use City Limits Construction for many other project opportunities we might have to complete in the future. Highly Recommend them and their superb professional work. Marvin Love"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Whether you need drywall anchors depends on your specific project, particularly where you are hanging an item. Drywall anchors are not necessary if you can drive a screw directly into a wooden stud behind the wall, as the stud provides sufficient support. However, since studs are not present everywhere in a wall, you will need to use drywall anchors if you are hanging an object in a location without a stud. For very lightweight items, picture hanging strips can also be a suitable alternative.

When sanding drywall mud, you’re going to create a very fine dust that may contain silica. Silica dust contains crystalline silica, which can cause long-term illnesses for people who inhale it in significant quantities. Wear a mask while sanding drywall. Then dampen a drywall sponge to wipe the dust off the drywall, helping to reduce the amount of dust that may become airborne.

Plaster is a pretty tough surface, but it can still sustain damage from things like bumping against it, water issues, dampness, extreme humidity changes, and plain old age. Most plaster walls last hundreds of years and will only be taken down to the base layer when major repairs are required. Being cautious around the wall, not placing furniture against it, and ensuring stable humidity are all great ways to reduce possible damage.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

The age of your home can clue you in to whether you have plaster or drywall ceilings. Homes built after the ‘70s are more likely to have drywall ceilings and walls, while older homes have plaster. You can also do the pushpin test: A pushpin will go into drywall, whereas it’s much harder to push one into a plaster wall. If you’re still unsure, ask a drywall professional to let you know which type of ceilings and walls you have.
