"Marty and crew are good at installing drywall in timely matter. My only negative comment is did nothing to clean up drywall dust. I would recommend them to other potential customers looking for quick install of drywall. Thanks Marty."

"Mike helped me with some flooring for me and added baseboards and transitions for a floor I laid but couldn't figure out how to completely finish. He then advised me how to fix a bedframe that had broken. He showed up when he said he would, and when the job took longer than expected, he stuck around later to finish. He was an absolute pleasure to work with! I would absolutely hire him again."

"Paul and his crew painted a side and attic dormer of my three-story house. He was incredibly responsive when I requested a quote and performed the work exactly on the schedule he set out. The crew was careful to do the job professionally and cleaned up after they were done. I have hired painters before and had really bad experiences (delays, over-charges, sloppy work). This crew was not that and I appreciated how seriously they took the job. I would unequivocally use them again."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

It’s highly recommended to use studs for a TV mount. The last thing you want is to be watching your favorite show when the TV falls off the wall. Studs are much stronger than drywall and quite a bit stronger than drywall anchors but, if you can’t find the studs or there simply aren’t any where you need them, you can use drywall anchors. It’s extremely important to make sure the anchors are rated for the load of the TV. We recommend using anchors that are rated far beyond the weight of whatever you’re hanging. Our suggestion is metal drywall toggle anchors. 

To maintain plaster walls, inspect them regularly for cracks and seal them early. Clean the walls by dusting regularly or using a gentle, damp cloth. It's also important to avoid moisture exposure. Repainting as needed will help maintain the wall's appearance and longevity.

You can put drywall mud over paint to even out the surface or entirely resurface it. Sand the surface with 280-grit sandpaper, vacuum the debris and dust with a shop vac, and clean it with a slightly damp cloth. Allow the surface to dry. Apply drywall primer, especially if you’re skim-coating an entire wall. Apply the right type of drywall mud over the surface and smooth it with a trowel. Allow the layer to cure fully, then sand it before applying another layer or painting it.

It is possible to apply plaster on the interior or exterior of your home, but we don’t recommend it. Plaster is easy to apply in theory, but in reality, it can be a challenging material to work with, and it’s difficult to get the finished product to look clean, even, and smooth. Many DIYers end up calling in a professional afterward to touch up the area or even redo it entirely because of mistakes they made in the process. Hiring a plaster pro will cost more, but it’s usually the best option to achieve high-quality results.

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.
