"Last May my husband and I bought a house. The living room and dining room had paneling with plaster underneath. Josh removed the cracked plaster and overlayed with drywall. Originally we wanted to have textured walls, but after seeing how smooth Josh could get the drywall, we just couldn’t say no to a smooth finish! Josh works in a very timely manner. He is polite and professional to worth with. He was able to achieve everything we asked for, and definitely made our new house a home!"

"We hired Escalante Construction to do repair of drywall and seams in our kitchen and living room. Then repaint our ceilings. They were very quick to respond, and complete the work required and then some. They communicated well with us along the way and were very pleasant to work with. The quality of their work is excellent! We would not hesitate to use their services again. We highly recommend this company for any of your projects."

Drywall FAQs, answered by experts

Look for flaking paint or air bubbles that burst and then flake away. Paint will begin to flake after being exposed to minimal moisture or water, so it’s a good indicator of any water damage. If you notice your paint starting to flake, feel the plaster underneath to see if it is soft or damp.

Regular dusting, occasional repainting, and avoiding harsh scrubbing preserve the finish.

If you plan on heating your garage, you must install a vapor barrier when drywalling the garage. A vapor barrier protects your garage from frost and mold that can occur through condensation. If your garage is unheated, you don't need to install a vapor barrier. The only exception is if you regularly crank the heat in your car before getting in it. In this case, you may still want to install a vapor barrier, as your car can heat your garage.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

Yes, wainscoting is installed directly over drywall. However, ensure the drywall is in good shape since it will support the wainscoting. If the drywall has issues, such as holes, mold, or mildew, repair them before installing the wainscoting. Alternatively, you can install a plywood substrate before attaching the trim.
