Is it difficult to drywall a ceiling?

• <div><p>It is more difficult to drywall a ceiling than it is to drywall a wall, but not so hard that DIYers can’t tackle it. One of the main issues with hanging drywall on your ceiling is getting it into place. Drywall isn’t light so, if you are hanging full drywall panels, you will need at least two (it’s better with more) people to hold the panel while you drill it into the ceiling as a single piece can weigh between 40 and 60 pounds and will need to be held in place for up to 10 minutes.</p></div>

What is the best way to cut drywall?

• <div><p>The best way to make long, straight cuts is to use a utility knife and a T-square to score the sheet, snap along the score, and then finish the cut by cutting through the paper on the opposite side with the utility knife. If you’re making small cuts, curved cuts, or cutouts for electrical boxes or light fixtures, you can use a manual jab saw to keep costs down, but an electric spiral saw or oscillating multi-tool will get the cleanest, fastest cuts possible.</p></div>

Q: How do you cut drywall without making dust?

• <div><p>There is no way to cut drywall without making dust, but you can reduce the amount of dust and especially the dangerous airborne particles by using manual cutting tools. Using a utility knife to score and snap your drywall will minimize dust production, and a jab saw for cutting cutouts for boxes and fixtures will generate almost no airborne dust. Even if you use these methods, you should still wear a respirator and safety goggles to avoid damage to your lungs and eyes.</p></div>

Q: What not to do when installing drywall?

• <div><p>There are several things you should not do when installing drywall. Common mistakes include: adding too many screws, over-sanding, not adding backing support, and installing drywall unevenly. You also should avoid screwing into the same place twice, installing Sheetrock with tapered edges on the outside, and making too many joints.</p></div>

Q: Are there any alternatives to installing a drop ceiling?

• <div><p>Many <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/basement-ceiling-ideas.htm">ceiling ideas</a> can serve as alternatives to installing a drop ceiling. Rooms suited to drop ceilings can also accommodate a painted drywall ceiling, taking on any color you want. You may also be able to install wood beams or paneling, tin or copper tile, or decorative elements like a tray ceiling or coffered ceiling.</p></div>

Excellent work at removing our mold problem. The only thing that we were unaware of is that if they need to cut out drywall, they do not repair it so we had to hire another contractor but overall great work.

They came out and fixed our problem that was caused due to a pipe leaking in the basement. They cleaned up all the carpeting and moved all the furniture. Checked all the drywall to make sure it was good. I would highly recommend them.

He does good work. He is dependable and definitely not a fly-by-night type of guy. He is very honest and affordable. He's also done drywall and painting for us. He's also installed a new furnace. I've done a lot of remodeling and have used Dave for a lot of work.
