"Derrick and his crew were great. We had stucco repaired outside our home as well as some wood trim replaced and repainted. They did such a good job that we immediately hired them to also paint our entryway and master bedroom and bathroom. Derek helped us choose paint colors that we are quite pleased with. He and his crew were very efficient and professional. We are very pleased with the final product and would definitely recommend him to others and hire him again."

"I highly recommend L&B Quality Home Improvement! Greg, the owner, and Zach were professional, reliable, and did outstanding quality work building my outdoor front steps and railing, at a very reasonable price.

They are trustworthy, dependable, and truly care about their customers. They were truly an answer to my prayers. Thank you, Greg and Zach, for a job well done!"

"We hired Brushstrokes by Kenn for drywall repairs and touch up painting. He was the only Drywall Repair Pro that would provide an estimate for touch-up painting vs complete wall and ceiling painting post drywall repair. He is a really nice guy, doing professional quality work, and doing exactly what we wanted done. He also has a friendly and personable manner that we all enjoyed... great communication skills."

"Chris with Friesen Family Renovations, LLC was very professional and thorough in the work he has completed. He installed a new screen door, replaced my tub stem and faucet, repaired my subfloor in the kitchen and installed brand new LVP flooring to replace old and water damaged flooring. He also mounted a television for me, and did some drywall repairs as well. I would recommend this business to anyone looking for quality and dependable work!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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.

You can take a few steps to save money on drywall installation, even when hiring a professional to do the bulk of the work for you. These ideas include the following:

  • Buy the drywall and other materials yourself to avoid product markup and delivery fees

  • Ask about discounts if you use the same company to tape, spackle, and paint

  • Hire drywall professionals in the winter when demand is the lowest

  • DIY as many parts of the project as possible, like replacing insulation and painting

Plaster is denser, harder, and more porous than drywall, so it absorbs moisture differently. This means you’ll often need more prep work, such as thorough sanding, patching, and priming with a high-quality bonding primer. Additionally, you may need more coats of paint to achieve even coverage. While the process takes more time, it helps ensure a durable and professional-looking result.

Whether a drywall anchor can be reused depends on its material, type, and the method of removal. Plastic anchors, including expansion and self-drilling types, are generally designed for single use as they tend to break or deform upon removal. Metal anchors, such as toggle bolts, are more durable and may be reusable if they are not damaged during extraction. However, with toggle bolts, the toggle piece can fall into the wall cavity when the bolt is removed, making it difficult to retrieve. If an anchor is damaged during removal, for instance by having its head cut off, it cannot be reused regardless of the material.

You may need to replace drywall because of smoke damage. If the drywall is covered in soot, you may be able to clean it, but it will require a lot of time and effort. You could spend hours cleaning the drywall only to find there is more damage and it needs to be replaced anyway. It’s usually easier and safer to remove the smoke-damaged drywall and replace it.
