"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

A utility knife is sharp enough to score the drywall and it may work in a pinch for outlet box holes. However, one of the best tools for drywall when you need to make exact cuts for an outlet box quickly is a drywall saw. This handheld tool has a longer blade than a utility knife, so it penetrates the thickness of the drywall easily. The design of its handle and the teeth in its blade make it easier to control while cutting quicker than you can with a utility knife.

You should not leave drywall outside, especially overnight or in a wet, humid climate. Exposure to rain and humidity can damage the drywall, weakening its structural integrity and making it susceptible to mold growth. If you must leave drywall outside during a project, be sure to cover it with a tarp or keep it inside a storage shed to protect it. Even drywall intended for exterior projects requires a protective moisture barrier. For best results, store any extra drywall in a dry area away from the elements.

Knowing what causes drywall damage can help stop it before it starts. Here are some of the most common causes of drywall damage: 

  • Water damage from roof leaks or leaky pipes. 

  • Small holes caused by doorknobs, minor accidents, and rodent infestations. 

  • Wall dents stemming from moving furniture and minor accidents. 

  • Wall cracks that form from a settling foundation or seismic activity. 

  • Nail pops from nails and screws in the walls. 

  • Large holes that are caused by accidents with heavy objects, children and pets, or sporting equipment.

Plaster provides a durable, soundproof, and moisture-resistant finish compared to drywall.

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.
