"Angelo is my go-to guy for anything around my house! The most recent project was painting all around the second floor of my house with tricky accent walls and small corners, and he and his guys did excellent work! It looks fantastic! Before this, he's done external stone covering the foundation and a myriad of projects for family members. I cannot recommend him enough!"

"I had drywall installed for about 4 rooms that needed to be completed after a terrible experience with another contractor who abandoned the job. I reached our to Overstate who came out to do the inspection quickly. They gave me a competitive quote and was very knowledgable during the consultation we had. They just completed the job and now my home looks refreshing. Their office was so supportive and kind during this process and all their workers very professional. Thanks to your team for the amazing job!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

You should stagger drywall sheets to help prevent cracking. The joints between drywall sheets are the weak spots, so if you install drywall with seams aligned, you’ll create weak lines that run across the length of the wall and extend from floor to ceiling. But when you stagger drywall, the solid sections of panels will support the joints. This can prevent seams from cracking or separating due to fluctuating temperature and humidity, vibrations from movement inside the home, and gravity.

The two most common drywall thicknesses for ceilings are 1/2-inch and 5/8-inch. For most standard residential applications, 1/2-inch drywall is sufficient and widely used. It provides adequate support and is lighter and easier to handle during installation compared to thicker sheets. However, 5/8-inch drywall is often used for specific cases where additional benefits are needed. It is heavier but provides superior sound dampening and fire resistance. You should consider using 5/8-inch drywall for ceilings in commercial buildings, between a garage and a living space, or above a finished basement to meet building codes or for enhanced soundproofing.

It doesn’t matter which way you lay drywall, and you can choose to install it horizontally or vertically depending on the size of the wall and how tall the ceiling is. It’s easier to lay drywall sheets vertically if you have a taller ceiling, but laying sheets horizontally makes it easier to apply joint compound.

Common causes include water leaks, settling, and impact. Address underlying issues to prevent recurring damage.

Yes, you can install drywall over plaster, but there are important factors to consider. While it can create a smooth, flat surface, it is often not the best approach. Installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall's thickness, which can cause issues with existing window and door frames that may no longer fit. You might also need to adjust power outlets to keep them accessible. A better, though more expensive, option is to remove the old plaster and lath entirely before installing new drywall. Drywalling directly over plaster seals in the old material, and if any problems arise later, you will need to remove both layers down to the structural beams for repairs. Given the potential complications, this job is best handled by professionals.
