"Quick to provide a quote, (same day), great price, (1 of 3 quotes), Scheduled the job when I needed it. Showed up early with a great crew and hung my 30ft x 60ft, 10 ft ceiling in a day, plastered the next. So glad I went with the blueboard and plaster. A little bit more expensive due to more labor but way better quality,mold resistance and longevity over drywall Nick is an old school, 2nd generation pro with a great work ethic and turns out quality work Recommendation without hesitation"

"We hired EDG Construction to repair a bathroom wall and patch some areas in the garage. They did a great job, especially fixing peeling and cracked areas in the bathroom—it looks smooth and clean now. They were professional, on time, and easy to communicate with. The husband-and-wife team is very kind and pleasant to work with. Highly recommend!"

"Excellent professionalism! Very skilled, but willing to do many different “handy tasks” like curtain rods and hanging pictures. He easily put together small furniture from Amazon, but also does cabinetry, drywall, etc. I highly recommend Blake cleancut services!!"

"True North Contacting stepped in as the replacement for a contractor that I hired and then never showed up to do the job. They were prompt, professional and are the only reason that my project was successful. The workmanship was superior, and the detailed tile work they did came out beautiful. There are so many contractors to choose from in these times, but True North is above and beyond the rest. Look no further if you want an honest professional contractor that not only shows up, but also provides amazing workmanship at a fair price."

"Do not pay in full, as it will leave a sour taste afterwards. I hired them to install some drywalls and plasters smooth the surface. During the process, everything seems to be okay. When they finished with the plastering, the wall looks decent when wet so we paid them in full thinking everything was good. However, after a few days the cracks and gap starts to appear after drying. Immediately, we contacted them to come back to fix the issue. The owner arranged to come by in the evening. He brought some compound and applied it over the surface. Yet, the marks are still visible and in some areas where the two sheet rocks meet up shows cracking. He blamed the heat was too high however that was not the case since the weather was quite nice for the past we allowed it to dry naturally. The painters said they can try to fix it but the cost will be extra. Whenever things go a bit sour in a job, I always tell myself, 'I should hold back on the last payment until everything checked out.'"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

You can skim coat plaster, but it’s better to repair the plaster itself. A skim coat is a thin coat of drywall joint compound spread over the surface of a wall. The result is a flat finish that looks pleasing, but part of the appeal of plaster is its imperfections and aesthetic. Skim coating is best when limited to drywall applications.

Yes, small, superficial cracks are normal as homes settle. Older homes have a higher chance of showing signs of settling through hairline cracks from temperature changes, moisture changes, and soil shifting. However, larger cracks, or discolored cracks from water damage, may signify a bigger problem that requires reparations and preventative measures.

Whether you need a drywall anchor depends on the specifics of your project, particularly what you're hanging and where. You do not need a drywall anchor if you can screw or nail the object directly into a wooden stud, as the wood provides sufficient support and stability. However, if there are no studs in the location where you plan to hang the item, you should use drywall anchors to ensure it is securely supported. For very lightweight objects, like small pictures, adhesive picture hanging strips can be a suitable alternative to anchors.

On average, drywall installation costs around $2,000, with a typical range of $400 to $6,000, including materials and labor. The final price depends on several factors. The most significant is the size of the area, as many contractors charge per square foot. Other cost factors include the complexity of the job (e.g., cutting around multiple windows and doors, corners, or curved walls), accessibility, location, the thickness of the drywall, the height of the room, and the desired level of finish. The level of finish can range from simply hanging the drywall to taping and mudding the seams and painting the walls.

There is no way to cut drywall without making dust, but you can reduce the amount of dust and especially the dangerous airborne particles by using manual cutting tools. Using a utility knife to score and snap your drywall will minimize dust production, and a jab saw for cutting cutouts for boxes and fixtures will generate almost no airborne dust. Even if you use these methods, you should still wear a respirator and safety goggles to avoid damage to your lungs and eyes.
