"I do not usually complete surveys or share my experiences, but in this instance I am compelled. Without really knowing where to start, I can say that I was very fortunate to have received the initial call from Franks. My project is an 110 year old building and nothing is straight or level. I was left high and dry without a drywaller and a time frame that would not allow a 4-6 wait period for another company to schedule me. It just so happened that Franks had just finished another project and had a window that they could fit me in. The same day (Sunday) I received John s call, he was there within hours to measure. The next morning they were hoisting drywall thru the upstairs window. John was on site the next day at 7AM and every day thereafter at that time until the job was done. He glued and screws, shims, takes his time and yet works efficiently. His helper has been with him for years and shows near equal ability for detail. They work well together and move along at a persistent pace...each day showing accomplishments. I don t think they stop much for breaks or lunch. The joke was that I was developing separation anxiety because I knew I was going to miss them both. If you allow it, they will leave you as friends. There is no doubt in my mind that the work was quality and the price VERY fair! Nor do I have any doubts that anyone else would experience the same...that is, if you are fortunate enough to receive their call. I move from project to project and hire company after company in all the trades. I do much of the work myself so I know what is involved and can identify hurried sloppy work when I see it. You will not see that with Franks. I am so happy to have met them and so thankful that this old building received their luv of what they do. 👍"

"Durastruct remodeled my kitchen cabinets for me. They were easily the nicest group of guys to work with. They gave me exactly what I wanted and did it quickly. Scott was not only funny but very knowledgeable and reasonably priced. I would hire these guys again in a heartbeat. They were clean and neat while they worked. By far my best experience with any type of remodeling and will hire them again when it's time to do my bathroom. You will not be disappointed with their work."

"R and R was just what I needed. We had a flood in our 2nd floor bathroom which caused drywall and ceiling damage on the first floor ceiling below in our living room. I discussed the situation over the phone and sent some photos. Mr R R came out the following day and we scheduled the work. We originally estimated the job would take two days due to allow time for drying of patch materials but he was able to finish the job in less than one day. The area where the damage in the ceiling occurred looks just fine."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

The two most common drywall thicknesses for ceilings are 1/2-inch and 5/8-inch. For most standard residential applications, 1/2-inch drywall is sufficient and widely used. It provides adequate support and is lighter and easier to handle during installation compared to thicker sheets. However, 5/8-inch drywall is often used for specific cases where additional benefits are needed. It is heavier but provides superior sound dampening and fire resistance. You should consider using 5/8-inch drywall for ceilings in commercial buildings, between a garage and a living space, or above a finished basement to meet building codes or for enhanced soundproofing.

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.

While a normal moisture level for drywall is between 5% and 12%, replacement is recommended if you get consistent readings above 17%. At this level, the drywall is likely too compromised by extensive moisture damage to be considered safe. You can replace either the entire sheet or just the affected section. If you are unsure after a visual inspection, it is best to have a contractor or water restoration provider use a professional moisture meter to get an accurate reading.

If your home’s foundation shifts slightly over time, any seams in the drywall represent the weakest point in the wall, leading to cracks. If your home has significant changes in temperature and humidity, this can cause the drywall to swell and contract slightly, causing a crack at the weak point of the seam. If your drywall installer did a poor job securing the panels to the wall studs, this could cause a weak layout and cracks in the seams.

You can plaster over regular drywall, but it's essential to prepare the surface properly. Before plastering, the drywall should be clean, free of dust, and any loose or peeling paint should be removed. Applying a primer specifically designed for plastering can improve adhesion. Some professionals recommend applying a base coat of plaster or joint compound to create a better surface for the plaster to adhere to. Proper preparation ensures a smooth and durable plaster finish over regular drywall.
