"I had a water leak in our church’s lower women’s bathroom, and once the area was repaired and dried, Davis and his crewtook care of the drywall, painting, and rubber base installation so we could be ready for services. Davis answered my call right away and immediately started making plans to get everything back to normal. He and his crew were respectful, courteous, and kept the work area clean, even while working in a busy place. I really appreciate the quality of their work and would definitely recommend them."
"Rick did an excellent job for our drywall repairs. He completed the job quickly and it looks great! We can't even tell where the drywall repair was done! We especially appreciate the extra effort he made to complete the job despite terrible road conditions . Will choose him again!"
"This is a great company that I will definitely hire again! I had a list of random small and one large projects I wanted to get done around my home and Scott happily checked them off for me. Including taking down a large tree in my front yard, adding new bathroom window trim, installing recessed kitchen lighting, plumbing water to the refrigerator, and a complete over-haul to turn my standard garage into a fun extended living space. Garage included insulation and drywalling the attic area and the walls, and a new concrete floor. The only thing Scott didn't do was replace the garage doors. But he advised and talked with the installers I hired for that work. Scott was great at going through each project, asking and listening to what I wanted, and then describing what each project would entail and the plan to complete each one. Darkstar Construction is an incredible company and Scott is very easy going and a delight to work with! I highly recommend them to anyone needing literally anything done around their home or yard!"

"Recently hired this drywall company for a full installation, and they did an amazing job. The team was professional, punctual, and easy to work with from start to finish. They explained the process clearly and made sure everything was done right.
The drywall installation was flawless — smooth seams, clean taping, and a perfect finish. Once painted, the walls looked completely seamless. They also kept the workspace tidy and stayed on schedule.
Extremely happy with the results and highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality drywall work."

His drywall work is the best I have personally seen and is better than in my house. He obviously is skilled in his trade and does the best possible job.

A post-drywall inspection could uncover many problems that weren’t present during the pre-drywall inspection, including insufficient insulation, missing weather stripping, improperly installed plumbing and lighting fixtures, flooring damage, drywall damage, plumbing leaks, aesthetic issues, and more. Structural problems, which are often expensive to fix and are common reasons to walk away after a home inspection, are easier to see before the drywall goes up, but a post-drywall inspection may highlight minor issues with house settling and foundation problems.
Plaster is a beautiful finish but is labor-intensive to install and remove. It’s vulnerable to cracking and more sensitive to moisture variance than drywall. Installing plaster on a new wall is an expensive process that can take days to weeks, depending on the scope. Removing a plaster wall can also be quite expensive and time-consuming.
Plaster ceilings can sag for several reasons. In some cases, the plaster and other building materials shift and come apart over time, which is why you’ll commonly find drooping plaster ceilings in older homes. Improper installation, foot traffic, and water damage—often from a leaky roof or a broken pipe—can also cause plaster ceilings to sag.
When choosing materials for finishing basement walls, consider factors such as moisture resistance, durability, and fire resistance. Opt for materials specifically designed for basement environments, like moisture-resistant drywall or cement board. Insulation with vapor barriers can help regulate temperature and prevent condensation. Consider using mold-resistant paints or coatings.
Research and consult with experts to select materials that are suitable for your specific basement conditions and intended use. Prioritize quality and compatibility to achieve long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing results.
If you only have tiny holes in your drywall (for example, dents or nail marks), you probably won’t need a patch kit. Instead, you can plug the hole with a small amount of spackle. Once the spackle dries, you can sand the area and paint over it—just like you would in the steps outlined above.
