"We had a moisture issue with our skylights in our vaulted ceiling.  After talking over several options, decided that a tear down and closed cell spray foam application was the most permanent solution to this problem.  We met with several companies about the job and ran into an issue getting a comfortable feeling with each contractor until we met Paul.  The job required a tear-down of the ceiling, the batt and cellulose insulation, spray foam application, some shims on the rafter for the new drywall to replace the thickness by some previous foam board, drywall, texture, and then multiple coats of paint and primer.  There were a lot of angles around the skylights as well to top it off.
When we met with Paul he went through the steps he would take to complete the job.  He talked a lot about the prep work and what that process entailed (an important step for us since we just repainted the walls, installed some bookcases, and put in new hardwood floors) and most importantly, instilled in us a sense of confidence that he could and would get the job done.  The job was not scheduled to start right away due to the cold weather so our confidence in Paul was demonstrated by his follow-up and follow-through when we were ready.  It was a good feeling for us, as in the past we've had contractors bail out after waiting a period of time and also change their quotes.  Paul was true to his word.
We are thankful for the diligent prep work.  The house was closed off in that section and it was like bomb had gone off inside of it.  The blown-in cellulose was everywhere and then when the drywall dust came, you had to wonder if the finished product would ever look like it used to!  The crew was very respectful and they really busted their backs getting the job done.  My wife felt very comfortable with them in the house with our two little kids and we even felt comfortable leaving the house to them while they worked.
When the process was finished, my wife remarked at how it looked as if nothing had ever happened!  We were very appreciative to Paul and his crew for the work that they did.  They showed great accountability and service and we got a good sense of their integrity.  We are very thankful to have found him and we will be using him for future projects.

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

Metal corners, often referred to as corner beads for square corners, are used on drywall installations to provide structural reinforcement to vulnerable outside corners. Their usage safeguards against chipping, denting, or other forms of damage, enhancing the overall durability of the wall. Metal corners also offer a precise and straight edge that facilitates sharp and clean lines, crucial for achieving a polished and professional finish.

Both plaster and drywall are durable wall finishes, but they differ significantly in installation, cost, performance, and aesthetics.

Installation & Cost: Drywall installation is faster and more affordable, typically costing $1.50 to $3 per square foot. It uses premade sheets, making it a more accessible DIY project. Plastering is a labor-intensive craft that requires specialized skills, pushing costs to $2 to $10 per square foot. It involves applying a wet paste over a lath framework.

Durability & Performance: Plaster is generally more durable, longer-lasting, and provides superior soundproofing. It is also a better insulator, which can help reduce energy costs. Drywall is easier to remove for future renovations.

Aesthetics: Drywall provides a smooth, uniform surface ready for paint or texture. Plaster offers a high-end, naturally textured look that can hide imperfections and is often preferred for achieving a classic or historic aesthetic.

Which is better? The choice depends on your priorities. Drywall is ideal for those prioritizing a lower upfront cost, faster installation, and DIY potential. Plaster is the better option for a higher-end project where durability, soundproofing, and a unique, premium finish are more important than the initial cost.

While a normal moisture level for drywall is between 5% and 12%, replacement is recommended if you get consistent readings above 17%. At this level, the drywall is likely too compromised by extensive moisture damage to be considered safe. You can replace either the entire sheet or just the affected section. If you are unsure after a visual inspection, it is best to have a contractor or water restoration provider use a professional moisture meter to get an accurate reading.

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.

The person’s skill will affect how many drywall sheets they can hang in one day. Some people can hang 10 or more sheets in a day, while others may only hang six or seven sheets. It also depends on the framing complexity since custom cutting and fitting the drywall can prolong the process.
