"So quick! Thankful to work with Drywall Home Repairs - they helped us pick up where we left off in our basement DIY finishing project. They put up all of our drywall in an afternoon and made my worries of the project disappear. Professional, easy to work with and schedule."

"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.

"The job was completed in a timely manner and exceeded my expectations. I was planning to apply two coats of spackling myself, but it only needed one coat saving me time. I also got good advise for techniques to make my job easy. I would hire them again for any drywall work or other home improvements for that matter."

"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

Whether a drywall anchor can be reused depends on its material, type, and the method of removal. Plastic anchors, including expansion and self-drilling types, are generally designed for single use as they tend to break or deform upon removal. Metal anchors, such as toggle bolts, are more durable and may be reusable if they are not damaged during extraction. However, with toggle bolts, the toggle piece can fall into the wall cavity when the bolt is removed, making it difficult to retrieve. If an anchor is damaged during removal, for instance by having its head cut off, it cannot be reused regardless of the material.

Plaster is denser, harder, and more porous than drywall, so it absorbs moisture differently. This means you’ll often need more prep work, such as thorough sanding, patching, and priming with a high-quality bonding primer. Additionally, you may need more coats of paint to achieve even coverage. While the process takes more time, it helps ensure a durable and professional-looking result.

Water-damaged drywall should almost always be replaced. Not only does it look bad, it’s a breeding ground for toxic mold. Even if you think the area is dry and there’s no active leak, the only way to be sure is to cut out the damaged area and see for yourself.

Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.

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.
