Get matched with top drywall pros in Malvern, OH

Q: How do I find a reliable drywall installer?

• <div><p>You should start looking for a drywall installer by choosing a local company with positive online reviews and ratings with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Next, confirm that the professional is properly licensed using Angi&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">contractor licensing tool</a>, and ask the installer if they are fully insured. It&rsquo;s a good idea to ask for recent customer references and call them to get their honest opinion about the contractor and their work. You can also ask the installer if they guarantee their work or provide a workmanship warranty.</p></div>

Q: Should I sand between coats of drywall mud?

• <div><p>You should do a little bit of sanding between adding coats of mud. Knock down any ridges or significantly imperfect areas through sanding, which should help you apply the next coat of mud smoothly. If your first coat of mud is pretty smooth after it dries, a quick sanding is all you&rsquo;ll need. Don&rsquo;t forget to wipe away any dust after each sanding process.</p></div>

Q: When hanging drywall, should you start at the top or the bottom, and why?

• <div><p>You should always hang drywall from the top down. Starting at the top makes it easier to create a straight, tight line between the ceiling and the wall. Any gaps that occur will be at the bottom, where they are easier to manage. You can either cut the bottom piece of drywall to fit the remaining space or cover the gap with baseboard trim. Additionally, starting at the top is physically easier, as you won't have to fit the top sheet into a tight space between the lower sheet and the ceiling, or try to balance the upper sheets on the lower ones while securing them.</p></div>

Q: How do you hide drywall edges?

• <div><p>To hide drywall edges, you need to properly apply drywall tape and multiple layers of joint compound. These materials hide the seams between drywall sheets and fill the holes from drywall screws, leaving behind a smooth, flat finish to paint over. Apply joint compound smoothly, and finish the job by sanding the walls to make sure you fully hide drywall edges and other imperfections.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if my plaster needs replacing?

• <div><p>Plaster that sags or bulges, shows extensive deep cracks, or is crumbling from water damage or simply time may need replacement. Plaster walls can look a little &ldquo;worn&rdquo; for a long time before they need replacing. The only real way to know if it needs a replacement is to hire a professional to assess the condition of the plaster.</p></div>
