"Jim did a totally professional job on my drywall project; the taping and paint job were excellent. Jim is from the "old school" where quality, reliability and performance take priority. He brought drop cloths and a vacuum; one couldn't tell that a wall was ever torn down, taped and repainted. By the way, his norm is putting on 2 coats of paint. Furniture and pictures were put back into place. While waiting for the sparkle to dry (on the numerous coats put on), he re-screened one of our patio doors. He was on time and even texted me that he was on his way with an ETA, which he kept. His pricing was fair and reasonable. I highly recommend Jim Lavin for any handyman project you have. Thanks for a job well done!!!"

"Jerry is a friendly and knowledgeable guy - he was able to change some lightbulbs in a fixture that was precariously placed in our stairway, and he hung two wooden floating shelves on difficult lath and plaster walls. He made sure the shelves were very strongly supported with toggle bolts, since there was only one stud to work with. I’d hire Jerry again for future work on the house."

"Bryan came in to help repair a plaster dining room wall, which was torn out by plumbers who fixed a leak. He and his guys were incredible! Not only did they repair the wall that was torn out, they sparkled the rest of the uneven plaster walls and ceiling, repainted to perfection... it's a whole new dining room in my tiny old Roebling home. His crew cleaned up each time they worked so you couldn't even tell they had been there. Very respectful and hard-working guys. I can't recommend Bryan's Handyman and Home Improvement enough! In fact, I have about 5 more projects for him!"

"Amazing contractor. Very fair and worked very quickly. I was surprised how quickly he was able to repair my son’s ceiling. It was made of plaster and began to shift. Ari was able to demo and install drywall the same day. He exceeded my expectations. Will definitely use him again. Highly recommended."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

You should do a little bit of sanding between adding coats of mud. Knock down any ridges or significantly imperfect areas through sanding, which should help you apply the next coat of mud smoothly. If your first coat of mud is pretty smooth after it dries, a quick sanding is all you’ll need. Don’t forget to wipe away any dust after each sanding process.

In many cases, installing new drywall will boost your home value. Replacing old, damaged, cracked, or wavy drywall is a great way to improve the look and feel of your home, as new drywall installed by a professional shouldn’t have any imperfections. Additionally, removing old drywall means you’ll have open walls, so you can install new insulation and address exposed issues with plumbing and electrical systems running behind the walls. All of these fixes will also add to your home’s value.

Your walls are likely cracking due to fluctuations in the temperature outside. Drywall tends to expand and contract when temperatures and humidity levels change, and this repeated movement can lead to cracks in your walls, particularly around door frames. If you have multiple diagonal cracks, you may want to have your foundation inspected, as cracks can also be a sign of a bigger issue.

The easiest way to cut holes in drywall for electrical boxes is to use a spiral saw with a drywall router bit. Hang the drywall without cutting out a hole for the box, but make sure you measure and mark where the box is located on the wall. Once you screw in the drywall sheet, drill a small hole into the box void, insert the spiral saw bit, and move it around the edge of the box using the inside wall as a guide. You can also use an oscillating multi-tool with an electrical box cutout for fast, professional results.

Drywall can get wet and dry out without sustaining permanent damage, but only if the water damage is minor. If you have a small leak and are quick to correct the issue and set up blower fans and dehumidifiers, your drywall should dry out. If the leak is persistent, the drywall becomes totally waterlogged, or mold begins forming on the drywall, you should remove and replace it.
