"Lamont is a total professional. He was extremely responsive to my initial outreach, communicated clearly throughout the project and always listened to and addressed the questions/comments I had. With drywall it’s hard to see the bigger picture sometimes at the beginning of the project, but Lamont assured me that the drywall would end up looking perfect and it did. I would highly recommend hiring Lamont for your next drywall project. His prices are reasonable and his work is excellent."

"Exceptional company. From the estimate to the actual painting they were a joy to work with. I used them for a house I bought that had a lot of flaws in the walls -- and they were able to make them go away. The house now looks new on the inside. They also hung a complicated wallpaper mural for me and I'm amazed at how well it came out. I would STRONGLY recommend them to friends and family!"

"Darek is very professional and reliable. His main concern was always to make sure we were happy with the work, and he went out of his way to make that happen. The project was finished on-time, which is unheard-of in the construction business. My husband and I LOVE our new kitchen!! We would recommend DDP Construction wholeheartedly and will definitely call Darek again for any future projects."

"This team did great work! Pedro and his crew were on time and great with communication. I hired them to rebuild my basement after I put in waterproofing. International construction was so good that I asked them to stay and fix a bunch of other things in the house. Very fair on pricing, would recommend"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

Yes, if there is mold in your drywall mud and you then use it to build walls in your house—or if mold develops in your set drywall, like it can in hot and humid areas—it can lead to illness. Mold in your drywall (or other parts of your home) can make existing respiratory conditions or allergies worse, and the effect can be more intense for those who have existing health issues or compromised immune systems.

You should always hang drywall from the top down. Starting at the top makes it easier to create a straight, tight line between the ceiling and the wall. Any gaps that occur will be at the bottom, where they are easier to manage. You can either cut the bottom piece of drywall to fit the remaining space or cover the gap with baseboard trim. Additionally, starting at the top is physically easier, as you won't have to fit the top sheet into a tight space between the lower sheet and the ceiling, or try to balance the upper sheets on the lower ones while securing them.

Both plaster and drywall are durable wall finishes, but they differ significantly in installation, cost, performance, and aesthetics.

Installation & Cost: Drywall installation is faster and more affordable, typically costing $1.50 to $3 per square foot. It uses premade sheets, making it a more accessible DIY project. Plastering is a labor-intensive craft that requires specialized skills, pushing costs to $2 to $10 per square foot. It involves applying a wet paste over a lath framework.

Durability & Performance: Plaster is generally more durable, longer-lasting, and provides superior soundproofing. It is also a better insulator, which can help reduce energy costs. Drywall is easier to remove for future renovations.

Aesthetics: Drywall provides a smooth, uniform surface ready for paint or texture. Plaster offers a high-end, naturally textured look that can hide imperfections and is often preferred for achieving a classic or historic aesthetic.

Which is better? The choice depends on your priorities. Drywall is ideal for those prioritizing a lower upfront cost, faster installation, and DIY potential. Plaster is the better option for a higher-end project where durability, soundproofing, and a unique, premium finish are more important than the initial cost.
