Customers say: Super punctual

"We have lived in our home for 30+ years. When we bought our home, we knew we did not like the Popcorn Finish on the ceilings and agreed to immediately put it on our redo, update, fix-it list. Through the years there have been many redos, updates, and fix-its that always seemed to push the ceilings redo to the bottom of the list. It finally became a necessity in December 2021 when, with the development of cracks in the ceiling, we could no longer put it off. Now, no one likes to spend money on some home improvement projects. And redoing popcorn ceilings to make them have a smooth finish might be the number project on which we DON’T want to spend money. Maybe that’s why it was always pushed down our list. Besides, who looks at ceilings? Well, WE DO! Homeowners want the aesthetics of the ceilings of their home to be nice and smooth, NOT popcornny! The several thousand dollars we spent for this update was probably the best money we have spent on our home in these past thirty years. Oh, the difference it has made!!! The aesthetics of our ceilings are far more than nice, they are absolutely beautiful! If you are sitting on the fence trying to decide on having the same done in your home, we would encourage you to jump on over and get it done! And, even more, we encourage you to contact Guy at G&G Drywall to have him and his co-workers do your project. Guy is a very pleasant gentleman who is honest, hard-working, true to his word, and very Godly. He is easy going and will listen to your concerns. He never hesitated to work with us to move the positions of two ceiling fans in our home. He aims to leave every customer with his best work. He did with our project! Along with his co-workers, Dexter and Jeremy, these gentlemen are honest, hard-working, professional, and are the most polite men we have had to work in our home. We never felt any trepidation having them in our home or leaving them here to work without one of us being present. It took G&G Drywall six days to complete the project of replacing 85% of the ceilings in our home. The team arrived at the time they said they would and worked seemingly nonstop everyday. They took great care to protect furniture and other non-movable items in our home. They covered the walls with plastic and the floors with cloth to help minimize dust cleanup. At the end of each work day the team cleaned and left the house as livable as possible. And a bonus, we were able to stay nights in our home! This might not be the same for someone who has a low tolerance for drywall dust. We enthusiastically and wholeheartedly recommend G&G Drywall to work for you. Their work is impeccable. What are you waiting for? Go ahead, call Guy at G&G Drywall now!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Whether a drywall anchor can be reused depends on its material, type, and the method of removal. Plastic anchors, including expansion and self-drilling types, are generally designed for single use as they tend to break or deform upon removal. Metal anchors, such as toggle bolts, are more durable and may be reusable if they are not damaged during extraction. However, with toggle bolts, the toggle piece can fall into the wall cavity when the bolt is removed, making it difficult to retrieve. If an anchor is damaged during removal, for instance by having its head cut off, it cannot be reused regardless of the material.

Drywall tape is made of paper, while drywall mesh is made of fiberglass or metal. Drywall mesh patches are suitable for repairing small holes in drywall, while paper drywall tape holds a crease better for corners. You need joint compound to adhere drywall tape to the wall, while mesh patches may be self-adhesive.

If you’re installing new drywall, you may need to skim coat the drywall first for a smooth finish and to allow the primer to adhere to the wall. It’s only necessary if there are imperfections in your drywall due to issues with the studs or improper drywall installation. If you’re refreshing existing walls, you may want to skim coat if there are imperfections across the wall. As an alternative, you can repair your drywall and sand it for a smooth finish before painting.

The short answer is yes, a sagging plaster ceiling is dangerous. Sagging plaster on a wall is something you should fix immediately, but it isn’t a major concern. If the same type of sagging occurs on a ceiling, however, you could be in danger of your ceiling falling in large chunks. When plaster sags, it loses its strength and ability to hold itself up. The bonds that hold it together are strong, though, so if a sagging area falls, it will take large pieces down with it.

All plaster walls will crack over time due to normal house settling and expansion and contraction from temperature and moisture changes. Small, thin hairline cracks are generally not serious and are mostly a cosmetic issue. However, larger or more significant cracks can indicate structural problems.

Here's how to tell the difference:

  • Cosmetic Cracks: Cracks that are 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) or thinner are typically cosmetic.

  • Structural Cracks: Cracks wider than 0.5 cm, excessive or deep cracks, multiple cracks in the same area, or cracks that span around corners can signify a structural or foundation issue. Cracks along the joints where walls meet the ceiling also warrant attention.

For cracks wider than 0.5 cm, structural repair is needed. If a crack is 2.5 cm (1 inch) or wider, or if you notice any signs of a structural problem, it is best to contact a plaster repair professional to assess the damage.
