"We had an excellent experience with Leo from A&W Drywall and highly recommend him! We we're contacted very quickly after posting for the project and had an estimate and schedule the same day. His work is meticulous and clean. Leo took great care to prevent any dust outside the work area. When he left, you couldn't tell he had been here!"

They removed the window and rebuilded the wall and siding. And Dave gave me a fare quote from start to finish. You have to get Dave Drywall and Home Repair in your life for the important home Improvement."

"I can't recommend Mr. Malone highly enough! He's very professional, is very knowledgeable and does great work. I had recurring drywall issues including large wall cracks from settling and drywall tape lifting in a 35-year old home. Both painters and handymen had done quick repairs with spackling and tape, but it never worked for long. Mr. Malone actually understood what was causing the problems and what was needed to prevent or minimize the chances of issues recurring. He explained all of the steps of my project well and worked very efficiently. I'm extremely satisfied with his work. Very highly recommended!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Which style of corner bead you choose—whether metal or paper-faced—depends on your preference and if you’re comfortable using metal-cutting tools and a hammer. Metal bead offers superior strength and durability but its installation is slightly more involved. We’d say for most cases, it’s better to use metal bead but if you’re not comfortable working with metal, paper-faced bead will work just fine. 

Certain drywall textures, like sand and sometimes popcorn, can be smoothed by applying skim coats, sanding the walls, or chipping away the texture. However, it’s worth considering removing the texture and starting with a blank canvas. Smoothing textured walls requires a lot of sandpaper and elbow grease and can take longer than just outright removing the texture.

Plaster ceilings can sag for several reasons. In some cases, the plaster and other building materials shift and come apart over time, which is why you’ll commonly find drooping plaster ceilings in older homes. Improper installation, foot traffic, and water damage—often from a leaky roof or a broken pipe—can also cause plaster ceilings to sag.

The best tool for skim coating drywall is a skim coating blade, which can smooth out joint compound in wide stretches. While you could use a smaller drywall knife for skim coating, the smaller size means it’ll take longer to smooth out each section. Instead, consider investing in a skim coating blade for the quickest application.

Yes, you can install drywall over plaster, but there are important factors to consider. While it can create a smooth, flat surface, it is often not the best approach. Installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall's thickness, which can cause issues with existing window and door frames that may no longer fit. You might also need to adjust power outlets to keep them accessible. A better, though more expensive, option is to remove the old plaster and lath entirely before installing new drywall. Drywalling directly over plaster seals in the old material, and if any problems arise later, you will need to remove both layers down to the structural beams for repairs. Given the potential complications, this job is best handled by professionals.
