"We hired him to install drywall in our shed, including taping, bedding, mudding, and texture, and he did an excellent job from start to finish. The finish turned out great—everything is smooth, evenly textured, and completely ready for paint. I didn’t notice any flaws, and the overall quality really shows. He was always on time, communicated well throughout the process, and was very respectful of our space. He kept everything neat and organized while working and made sure to clean up before leaving each day. He even left his floor coverings for us to use while we paint, which was a thoughtful touch. He also finished the job a full day earlier than expected, which was a nice bonus, and even fixed a few areas my husband had attempted before he started. I felt his pricing was fair for the quality of work provided, and I would absolutely hire him again in the future."

"I was disappointed that two hours wasn't long enough to complete the job. I was told 3 coats of paint were necessary, which slowed the process. I would have put one coat on the entire structure and then painted the second coat, instead of applying 3 coats to one section, before starting the rest of the structure."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

There shouldn’t be any gaps between your walls and ceiling. These can be fixed with joint compound but that is only a fix, and it’s much better if your drywall fits correctly in the first place. Sometimes gaps can appear if your foundation shifts significantly but if this is the case, you have a much bigger problem than patching drywall.

Drywall can be installed directly on ceiling joists. In fact, this method is common in many construction projects. Drywall sheets are attached to the joists using screws, ensuring a secure and stable installation. Before attaching the drywall, it's important to mark the joist locations on the ceiling, allowing for accurate screw placement. Proper spacing between screws and careful taping and mudding of joints are crucial to creating a smooth and flawless ceiling surface. If the joists are in good condition and level, installing drywall directly on them is a practical and efficient approach.

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.

How you hang the drywall can affect the finishing process. It's often easier to finish horizontal drywall panels, as the seams run across the wall rather than up and down. Standard drywall panels are 48 inches wide, so the seam is easy to reach without bending down or stretching your arms.

If your home was built before the 1940s and was not remodeled in the past 50 or so years, you probably have plaster walls. Aside from assuming, there are some practical ways to tell if you have plaster walls, including the following: If you knock on the wall and it feels solid, not hollow, if you can’t insert a thumbtack easily, if there are cracks that look like spiderwebs, or if your home has curved, arched, or swirled walls, doorways, or window openings.

If you have an unfinished basement or attic, you could examine the backs of any finished walls to check, too.
