"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"

"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."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

If you're comfortable hanging drywall yourself, you may be comfortable finishing it. But it's worth noting that finishing drywall adds several steps to the process and a lot of waiting time. Hiring a drywall installer may be the way to go if you'd rather spend your time doing other things or are nervous about leaving a rough surface.

Plaster is denser, harder, and more porous than drywall, so it absorbs moisture differently. This means you’ll often need more prep work, such as thorough sanding, patching, and priming with a high-quality bonding primer. Additionally, you may need more coats of paint to achieve even coverage. While the process takes more time, it helps ensure a durable and professional-looking result.

The time it takes for thinset to dry is determined by your room’s ambient temperature and humidity levels. Assuming the average humidity level is around 40% with an average temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit, thinset can dry within 48 hours. Lower temperatures and higher humidity can extend the curing process beyond 72 hours, while high heat and zero humidity can shorten the curing process. However, thinset can crack if it dries too fast.

You should leave a gap between drywall sheets because they naturally expand and contract along with the building framing as temperature and humidity change. Most pro drywall installers leave a gap of about ⅛ inch between drywall sheets, allowing the sheets to expand, contract, and shift without cracking or becoming damaged. If you don’t leave enough gaps between slabs, the edges will press against each other when they expand, and the pressure can cause visible cracks.

The tool you use to sand plaster will depend on the size of the project. If you’re just working on a small section of your wall to get rid of an uneven spot on the surface, hand-sanding might work. However, for larger projects, a drywall sander can make a huge difference when it comes to both time and elbow grease—and an orbital sander can help for detailed areas such as around ceiling fans.
