"I couldn?t recommend Kyle enough to anyone who needs a contractor. Not only did he help me? to save money before I even signed with him. He?s just the type of person you?d actually want in your home, the honest kind. Heck I?d leave my dog with him and wouldn?t worry. Seriously though, every step of the way he was there to help and at what I felt was a fair price in today?s world. About my project. I needed a bathroom redone, and some drywall work. Kyle gave me the options and worked with me guided me along the way so I made the best decisions for myself. I chose my own materials, paint color. Did my own painting and the easy stuff. He gave such great input to help me do that. The bathroom turned out amazing. The floors, dry wall, vanity, mirror, toilet reset, new trim, are all new. The tub was not replaced. Literally blown away at the dry wall work and texturing? magical blending ability and he hand shaped a corner that required custom work. Came out perfect 10/10 will hire again"

"I talked to many people to get quotes and to inquire about the service of getting my house painted. It was hard to find somebody that I felt I could trust. When I found D&N I knew right away that I could trust them. The job got done quickly and in the estimated time. Communication was clear and effective. I would 100% recommend them to paint your house!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

Most drywall used for interior walls of homes is 1/2-inch thick. This size strikes a balance of being easy to handle and hang while being thick enough for the durability needed on interior wall applications.

Yes, you can install drywall over plaster, but there are important factors to consider. While it can create a smooth, flat surface, it is often not the best approach. Installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall's thickness, which can cause issues with existing window and door frames that may no longer fit. You might also need to adjust power outlets to keep them accessible. A better, though more expensive, option is to remove the old plaster and lath entirely before installing new drywall. Drywalling directly over plaster seals in the old material, and if any problems arise later, you will need to remove both layers down to the structural beams for repairs. Given the potential complications, this job is best handled by professionals.

Depending on the place where the cutting error occurred, you may be able to fix it. Learning how to patch a hole in drywall is challenging, but if you can tape and mud drywall, you can do it. Having said that, patching is time consuming. Early in the installation process, you may find that it’s easier and far less time consuming to just start over with a new sheet of drywall, cutting a new hole in the right spot. You may be able to use part of the incorrectly cut piece elsewhere, so it’s not completely wasted.

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.
