"Lux Drywall is the best!!! Brett did a great job on my drywall. I had six or so, holes in my ceiling from putting in recessed lighting. He was very neat & clean with drywall dust and you can’t even tell there was a hole. Thanks, Tim"

I highly recommend Jason for any home improvement projects—his professionalism and attention to detail truly set him apart."

"Brett did an excellent job with my drywall repair. He showed up right on time, communicated clearly about when he would arrive, and was professional throughout the whole process. The work itself was top-notch—seamless and clean. He also made sure everything was tidied up before he left, which I really appreciated. The price was fair, and the overall experience was smooth from start to finish. Highly recommended!"

"These guys did an amazing job on my drywall project. We needed old paneling covered in several rooms. We agreed that all of the sanding and touch-up (and of course painting) would be left up to us. It turned out all we had to do was paint because there was hardly anything to sand or touch up - the install and finishing was done that well!! I have never seen such professionally installed drywall in my life. I would absolutely recommend these guys if you want quality work done at a reasonable price."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on damage size, labor rates, and whether additional services like painting are required.

A utility knife is sharp enough to score the drywall and it may work in a pinch for outlet box holes. However, one of the best tools for drywall when you need to make exact cuts for an outlet box quickly is a drywall saw. This handheld tool has a longer blade than a utility knife, so it penetrates the thickness of the drywall easily. The design of its handle and the teeth in its blade make it easier to control while cutting quicker than you can with a utility knife.

While not always necessary, you can glue a drywall ceiling in addition to using screws or nails. Drywall is typically secured to ceiling joists with fasteners, which is often sufficient. However, adding construction adhesive can offer benefits like preventing sagging, bridging gaps, and reducing air leaks for better energy efficiency. It may also be used for specific acoustic or insulation needs. On the other hand, many professionals advise against it because properly placed screws make the drywall structural, glue doesn't add strength, and it makes future repairs or replacements significantly more difficult. Ultimately, it's best to follow local building codes and project-specific requirements to decide if adhesive is right for your ceiling.

Yes, small, superficial cracks are normal as homes settle. Older homes have a higher chance of showing signs of settling through hairline cracks from temperature changes, moisture changes, and soil shifting. However, larger cracks, or discolored cracks from water damage, may signify a bigger problem that requires reparations and preventative measures.

While it’s most common to sand plaster dry, it is possible to wet-sand plaster, too. Doing so can reduce the amount of plaster dust released into the air and make it easier to work in smaller, more delicate areas (such as around wall trim). However, some people find that wet sanding leads to more imperfections, which is why larger walls are more often dry sanded to ensure an even finish.
