"Ty and his team were very friendly and professional! They were available quickly and followed through on every step of the process from coming out for a quote to finishing within the timeframe they promised. I would recommend precision drywall to anyone looking for quality work from a quality business! We already have them lined up for another project!"

"Francisco & I negotiated the correct solution to repairing my dinning room wall, and we decided skimming the wall with a plaster slurry. It looks great, and Francisco was very diligent with the work! He completed it over several days and It looks fantastic! Thank You!"

"Mike and his crew did excellent work, they installed drywall, taped, mudded, primed, and painted a very spacious entryway, with high, vaulted ceilings, and oversized stairs leading down one side, and up the other. They installed new drywall over the walls, on the ceiling, and wrapped drywall around every exposed beam and column. The paint job afterward came out awesome, like a new house. We are extremely pleased with their work, and would recommend them to anyone, home or business, that needs drywall work, or painting. They also took down and rehung our ceiling fan and installed our new chandelier in the vaulted ceiling. This was a very challenging project, and they went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the job. I'm sure we will find more work for them to do elsewhere in the house in the future as well."

"We are rehabbing an old home. Shane (Dekarated) has been with us through all phases! Pics include our renovated bathroom- gutted, all new tile, drywall and installation of raw edge wood that we wanted to incorporate. Our renovated living/dining room- we raised all the doorways and Shane created a custom archway and built ins. Our entryway tile floor. He is our go-to guy!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Textured walls can increase the value of your home if the style is modern and seen as a desirable feature and not something a prospective buyer would need to remedy. A good example of this is popcorn texture versus Venetian plaster. The plaster wall would add value to your home, whereas the popcorn texture may be something a new buyer would want to remove.

You can take a few steps to save money on drywall installation, even when hiring a professional to do the bulk of the work for you. These ideas include the following:

  • Buy the drywall and other materials yourself to avoid product markup and delivery fees

  • Ask about discounts if you use the same company to tape, spackle, and paint

  • Hire drywall professionals in the winter when demand is the lowest

  • DIY as many parts of the project as possible, like replacing insulation and painting

Drywall tape is made of paper, while drywall mesh is made of fiberglass or metal. Drywall mesh patches are suitable for repairing small holes in drywall, while paper drywall tape holds a crease better for corners. You need joint compound to adhere drywall tape to the wall, while mesh patches may be self-adhesive.

Depending on the place where the cutting error occurred, you may be able to fix it. Learning how to patch a hole in drywall is challenging, but if you can tape and mud drywall, you can do it. Having said that, patching is time consuming. Early in the installation process, you may find that it’s easier and far less time consuming to just start over with a new sheet of drywall, cutting a new hole in the right spot. You may be able to use part of the incorrectly cut piece elsewhere, so it’s not completely wasted.

Whether to repair or replace water-damaged plaster depends on the scale of the damage. For small, limited areas, you can often perform a repair yourself. If you choose to paint over small patches, ensure the surface is completely dry and apply a coat of antifungal primer first to prevent mold growth. However, simply painting or plastering over the damage is only a temporary solution that doesn't address the core problem. For more extensive or long-term damage, the plaster may be compromised, and there is a risk of mold. In these cases, it is recommended to remove the damaged section of plasterboard and replace it. You may consider hiring a professional for the repair, and it's worth noting that water damage is often covered by home insurance.
