"I found David and Trav Construction on Thumbtack, and I’m so glad I did. Finding honest and reliable contractors can be difficult, but David exceeded my expectations from the start. He sent a team of professional workers who completed the job efficiently and with great attention to detail. The project was expected to take two days, but they actually finished everything in just one day without sacrificing quality. There was one small detail regarding the wall texture that wasn’t completed exactly as I had envisioned. However, it’s located at the very bottom of the wall and is hardly noticeable, so it did not impact my overall satisfaction with the work. Communication throughout the project was excellent. David was professional, responsive, and kept me updated every step of the way. His team was knowledgeable, helpful, and clearly experienced in what they do. In fact, I’ve already hired Trav Construction for another project and am just waiting for my materials to arrive before they"

"Robert and Walter were great. They completely rebuilt an exterior wall that included replacing the siding and everything down to and including the studs. The finished wall is perfect. In addition to being talented the guys were also very professional and left no mess. I will hire them for my next project."

"Due to below freezing temperatures this winter, I had a pipe in my garage burst (the pipe was garage facing, not behind the walls). While I was thankfully home when this occurred and shutoff the water within 10-15 minutes, portions of my drywall got soaked, leading to cosmetic damage. However, I wasn't sure if a longer term consequence of major structural damage or mold would occur. After inspecting the drywall, Larry saw no indication of mold or major structural damage (3 months after the incident), and gave me a few suggestions on how to fix the cosmetic damage by making a quick Home Depot run. Larry could easily have quoted me to gut and replace an entire wall's worth of drywall, but instead, walked me through a fairly inexpensive DIY fix and told me to give him a ring back if anything changed over the summer. I would absolutely recommend Doyle Drywall."

"I was so impressed with his work! He went the extra to ensure our leak was solved before having us move forward with the replacement drywall. He showed me some potential issues that needed resolving before he finished the job, to ensure my home was safe for my family and that he could complete the job to his high standards. I will definitely use him for future projects and appreciate how thorough, professional, and considerate he was through the job."

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.

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.

You can technically just paint over hairline cracks in plaster since these cracks are often harmless, but this will mostly be a waste of paint. Paint will only hide the hairline crack for a few months before it shows up again. The best solution is to repair the crack with flexible filler or joint compound before repainting.

How you hang the drywall can affect the finishing process. It's often easier to finish horizontal drywall panels, as the seams run across the wall rather than up and down. Standard drywall panels are 48 inches wide, so the seam is easy to reach without bending down or stretching your arms.

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.
