"We hired Tito to repair drywall damage after a lighting remodel in our home. He arrived on time, presented a competitive bid for the work, and a contract detailing the scope of the job. He asked for feedback while work was in progress and completed the work early. When he was finished his cleanup was great, leaving our house as it was before he arrived. He bent over backwards to ensure we were happy with his work and was not satisfied until we were satisfied. He is one of the most professional contractors I've had the pleasure of doing business with. I would not hesitate to hire him for more work in the future."
"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.

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."

"Jesus came by the same day I called to give an estimate and finished the work two days later. I had a water leak and needed drywall repaired in my living room, textured to match and have baseboard replaced. He did the work neatly and texture matched well. Can barely notice it was replaced. Cleaned up and would recommend to others for drywall work."
"Scott and his team did an excellent job installing my drywall and painting over everything needed. They're painter even covered some spots I wasn't aware needed the paint and I'm very appreciative. Through the whole process they were courteous and respectful to my needs and cant recommend them enough!"
Drywall insulation costs around $1,800, on average, but prices can range from $500 to $4,500, depending on a few different factors. The following things are important considerations to make when pricing out your insulation project:
Square footage of insulation
Type of insulation
Climate in your area and the insulation R-value required
Whether or not your walls are already finished
Accessibility of the area
Whether or not you need old insulation removed first
Most handy homeowners can tackle removing texture from unpainted walls. Removing texture from painted walls is a bit trickier. Paint acts as a sealant, so you can’t soften the texture with water. Instead, you’ll have to add a layer of drywall compound known as a skim coat. This process is messy and takes some practice.
You can repair plaster ceilings yourself after the cause of the ceiling damage has been addressed. However, the repair can easily take 5 hours and can be slightly challenging for those without previous experience. If you do decide to flex your DIY muscle, have a helper to help hold the ladder and pass you the tools for safety purposes.
Plaster provides a durable, soundproof, and moisture-resistant finish compared to drywall.
Which style of corner bead you choose—whether metal or paper-faced—depends on your preference and if you’re comfortable using metal-cutting tools and a hammer. Metal bead offers superior strength and durability but its installation is slightly more involved. We’d say for most cases, it’s better to use metal bead but if you’re not comfortable working with metal, paper-faced bead will work just fine.
