Customers say: True professional

"I had a hole in my ceiling drywall that needed to be patched and painted. Edwin did a tremendous job and even pointed out where the ceiling drywall hadn’t been secured correctly and fixed that too. I can’t speak highly enough about his professionalism and quality of service. We will definitely be hiring him for work in the future."

"We had two rooms painted . The two painters were punctual . They did a great job in the two rooms. They cleaned up as they worked. When they ended day one everything was stored out of sight and the rooms were clean, so it was very easy to stay in the house while they were painting."

"Professionally replaced wood fascia and covered with white siding in Livingston NJ. Excellent workmanship. Carefully removed and reattached gutter and Verizon cable. Professional and courteous owner and team. Pleasant customer service; call back immediately; owner and workers were pleasant; fair and quick estimate; showed up on time; beautiful workmanship; cleaned up. Extremely honest Owner corrected me when I almost overpaid him. Highly recommend team and I will definitely use again, because I can trust them and count on them. It was a difficult job due to power lines, and wood bees flying in their face. Bob S. Livingston N.J."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

You should leave a gap between drywall sheets because they naturally expand and contract along with the building framing as temperature and humidity change. Most pro drywall installers leave a gap of about ⅛ inch between drywall sheets, allowing the sheets to expand, contract, and shift without cracking or becoming damaged. If you don’t leave enough gaps between slabs, the edges will press against each other when they expand, and the pressure can cause visible cracks.

You can technically just paint over hairline cracks in plaster since these cracks are often harmless, but this will mostly be a waste of paint. Paint will only hide the hairline crack for a few months before it shows up again. The best solution is to repair the crack with flexible filler or joint compound before repainting.

Most drywall used for interior walls of homes is 1/2-inch thick. This size strikes a balance of being easy to handle and hang while being thick enough for the durability needed on interior wall applications.

Drying alone can take 1 to 4 hours to dry to the touch per plaster layer, but some types of plaster take several hours longer to dry. However, this doesn’t mean the job is done because plaster doesn’t fully harden until it cures, which can take a few days to a couple of weeks. It may take even longer if you’re building a new, pretty thick plaster wall. Allow the plaster to cure before painting it.

If you're comfortable hanging drywall yourself, you may be comfortable finishing it. But it's worth noting that finishing drywall adds several steps to the process and a lot of waiting time. Hiring a drywall installer may be the way to go if you'd rather spend your time doing other things or are nervous about leaving a rough surface.
