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>

Q: Should you leave a gap between drywall sheets?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;t leave enough gaps between slabs, the edges will press against each other when they expand, and the pressure can cause visible cracks.</p></div>

Q: How long does thinset take to dry?

• <div><p>The time it takes for thinset to dry is determined by your room&rsquo;s ambient temperature and humidity levels. Assuming the average humidity level is around 40% with an average temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit, thinset can dry within 48 hours. Lower temperatures and higher humidity can extend the curing process beyond 72 hours, while high heat and zero humidity can shorten the curing process. However, thinset can crack if it dries too fast. </p></div>

Q: What do I do if I don't have a stud finder?

• <div><p>There are a few easy ways to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-find-stud-in-wall.htm">locate a wall stud without a stud finder</a>. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud. </p></div>

Q: Can drywall be installed in an unheated garage?

• <div><p>You can drywall an unheated garage because the material handles cold temperatures perfectly well. There are no risks or downsides to installing drywall in a garage that is not heated, and the material stands up to moisture and other elements quite well. Drywall will protect your unheated garage's electric wires and cables and add fire protection. However, for effective bonding, you should install drywall at a temperature of 55 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.</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.

He did an excellent job. It was very good. It wasn't much because it was actually redoing some drywall on the lower half. I have a split level so it was drywall over block, so it was just a small area.

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.
