"I would highly recommend Legacy Drywall. Brian and his wife were both very professional. Legacy drywall did a great job for a reasonable price. I also liked the way this company handled the estimate. They provided me with a in depth estimate including materials and labor. They also let you know exactly what days they will arrive and give a precise timeline in which each job will be started and finished.My husband was happy and I’m so grateful to have these repairs checked off my to do list. Thank you Legacy Drywall"

"Responds immediately and does the job quickly. Louis is a true professional and really cares. He gets back to you quickly, gives you a reasonable quote, supervises the job, and is a fantastic communicator. Cannot recommend enough. I run an Airbnb and had a roof leak. He came on Sunday, the day I called and had it fixed early Monday morning. They did a fantastic job and now Iâ  m confident I will not have any leaks. He will be my go to person for all future jobs."

"My husband is no longer able to do the maintenance on our house, or advise me. There was rotting trim wood, that needed to be replaced, at the roofline of our house. I contacted Angie on a Sunday nite. The next day owner Roland called me, we met the next day. He was able to fit in the needed repairs 1 day later and take a piece of wood to the paint store to match the color. The result looks perfect!!"

"I recently hired BYBD Construction for drywall repair in my home, and I couldn?t be more impressed with the results. From start to finish, their team was professional, punctual, and detail-oriented. They not only fixed the damaged areas seamlessly but also made sure the walls looked brand new?no uneven spots, no visible seams, just a flawless finish. The crew kept everything clean throughout the process and made sure I was happy with the work before wrapping up. It?s rare to find a company that takes this much pride in their craftsmanship, and BYBD Construction definitely delivered. I?ll be calling them again for future projects without hesitation."

"He put together an entry table, 3 tall bookcases and positioned them for me, and two very heavy mirrors. He was always very courteous and came early for my mirrors as I was having unexpected company! He was wonderful to work with, and very reasonable. I’d hire him again."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Furring strips, thin strips of wood or metal, are not always required for ceiling drywall installation. If the ceiling surface is even and in good condition, drywall can be directly attached to the ceiling joists using screws. However, furring strips become essential when dealing with irregular surfaces or when additional insulation or soundproofing is needed. They create a level substrate for attaching the drywall. Ultimately, the decision to use furring strips depends on the condition of the existing ceiling and the specific requirements of the project.

While every home has its own unique needs, ceiling drywall installation typically follows a staggered or stepped pattern to enhance structural integrity and reduce the visibility of seams. Starting from one corner, sheets are placed perpendicular to the ceiling joists, with the ends of adjacent sheets meeting along the center of the joist. The next row begins with a half sheet, ensuring joints don't align vertically. This alternating pattern, combined with proper taping and mudding, creates a seamless appearance and strengthens the ceiling structure, minimizing the risk of cracks over time.

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.

Costs depend on damage extent of damage, labor, finishing, and whether mold remediation is needed.

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.
