What is the best way to cut drywall?

• <div><p>The best way to make long, straight cuts is to use a utility knife and a T-square to score the sheet, snap along the score, and then finish the cut by cutting through the paper on the opposite side with the utility knife. If you’re making small cuts, curved cuts, or cutouts for electrical boxes or light fixtures, you can use a manual jab saw to keep costs down, but an electric spiral saw or oscillating multi-tool will get the cleanest, fastest cuts possible.</p></div>

How do I find a reliable drywall installer?

• <div><p>You should start looking for a drywall installer by choosing a local company with positive online reviews and ratings with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Next, confirm that the professional is properly licensed using Angi’s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">contractor licensing tool</a>, and ask the installer if they are fully insured. It’s a good idea to ask for recent customer references and call them to get their honest opinion about the contractor and their work. You can also ask the installer if they guarantee their work or provide a workmanship warranty.</p></div>

Q: Do you need a vapor barrier when drywalling a garage?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Should you leave a gap between drywall sheets?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;t leave enough gaps between slabs, the edges will press against each other when they expand, and the pressure can cause visible cracks.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to repair or replace drywall?

• <div><p>Deciding whether to repair or replace drywall can be tricky, but your top considerations should be the extent of the damage and what caused the damage. For instance, if you need to repair a small hole caused by a doorknob that hit the wall, you can safely patch it without a second thought. However, if you have significant drywall damage <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-fast-can-water-damage-ruin-home.htm">caused by water damage</a>, it&rsquo;s best to thoroughly remove the drywall to inspect and repair the pipes behind it before replacing it. </p></div>
