"Perfection Drywall did an amazing job after having our house completely re-piped. There was a lot of plaster repair and drywall repair and exposed pipes. They built boxes and soffits to hide the pipes and taped and textured everything were you cant even tell that there was a re-pipe done. They also repaired many cracks in the ceiling and walls in all the rooms. The crew did an amazing job of covering and protecting everything with huge amounts of plastic. They worked very hard and did everything i asked of them and they were on time and cleaned up everything each day. The price was much lower than other bids we got and in one case less then half the bid from another large company.
I would highly recommend Perfection Drywall and i will definitely use them again if i need more work done.
Thank you Dominic and crew for a job well done!

"The crew showed up every morning on time. They patched/drywalled and textured numerous small areas. The texturing was so good, that it is almost impossible to detect where the repairs where made. They also framed, drywalled and textured the kitchen area for recessed lighting installation. They repaired an area where there was a shower leak. They replaced the drywall and textured an area where a closet had been removed. On every part of the project, they exhibited superior workmanship. And at the end of every day, they cleaned up after themselves. Hire them again? Definitely yes!

"I recently hired Elevare Builders for some drywall work that resulted from a roof leak. There was extensive water damage to two walls. The work completed was excellent and fast. The work crew went above and beyond what was initially requested as additional damage area was discovered. Elevare repaired everything and conducted the work at the agreed upon price! I could not be happier with the work performed and the professionalism of the workmen! Upon completion you cannot tell there was ever a water leak or a repair. Great work, highly recommend!!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

While you can put new drywall over old drywall, it’s not always the best option. In some cases, drywalling over drywall can make it harder to find wires and pipes behind your walls and conceal more serious problems with your walls. It can also make the room smaller. On the plus side, putting drywall over drywall can improve soundproofing and insulation. Plus, it’s often less expensive than tearing down and adding new drywall.

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.

Plaster itself has a higher R-value than drywall. However, there are other considerations surrounding plaster and insulation. As a general rule, it's easier to obtain consistency in insulating value and quality when working with drywall rather than plaster. Plaster walls often don't contain any insulation behind the wall covering by design, and careful evaluation is necessary when choosing to add it.

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.

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.
