"If you want a talented, hardworking and dedicated group to help improve your home, we highly recommend Rudy and his team at South Pacific. We’ve been so impressed with their work we hired them for a big drywall project and later to replace our kitchen/foyer floor, which required undoing several bad DIY floor installations. He even did what several of the big popular companies said was too expensive or not possible, leveled out the entire first floor to create a seamless, level transition from room to room. This required a lot of challenging millwork and updating the doorways to fit the new floor space. It was an extremely difficult project and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. We loved working with such caring, dedicated experts who put great pride in their work and absolutely plan on hiring them for many of our future projects. We’ve already recommended them to our neighbors and friends."

Drywall FAQs, answered by experts

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.

You can usually tell if you have plaster or drywall by touch (plaster is harder, colder, and smoother than drywall) or by tapping on it (drywall sounds hollow, plaster does not). If you still cannot tell, peek under an outlet cover and check the cut edges. The rough edges show the composition of the wall. You will see either drywall (two paper sheets sandwiching gypsum material) or only plaster material (no paper sheets).

It’s highly recommended to use studs for a TV mount. The last thing you want is to be watching your favorite show when the TV falls off the wall. Studs are much stronger than drywall and quite a bit stronger than drywall anchors but, if you can’t find the studs or there simply aren’t any where you need them, you can use drywall anchors. It’s extremely important to make sure the anchors are rated for the load of the TV. We recommend using anchors that are rated far beyond the weight of whatever you’re hanging. Our suggestion is metal drywall toggle anchors. 

Yes, professionals often repair minor wall openings made for insulation injection to restore the surface.

You can take a few steps to save money on drywall installation, even when hiring a professional to do the bulk of the work for you. These ideas include the following:

  • Buy the drywall and other materials yourself to avoid product markup and delivery fees

  • Ask about discounts if you use the same company to tape, spackle, and paint

  • Hire drywall professionals in the winter when demand is the lowest

  • DIY as many parts of the project as possible, like replacing insulation and painting
