"I found Robert through Angie's List as I needed some drywall repairs in my kitchen and game room. Robert called me back within hours of reaching out to him. I explained in detail what I needed done and texted him over pictures. He came out in a few days to get first hand look of the situation. When he got back to me with a price quote for the entire job, it was much better than I could have expected. His team was very professional and got the job done faster than I expected because I was in a need to have this done quickly .. I would like to state I would offer 100 star review if I could. I would never use anybody else for any type of drywall repairs. His years of experience showed highly of extreme quality work. I would most certainly recommend him to family and friends."

"I attempted to paint the ceiling in one room and it looked terrible. I called Rich and he was at a momentary standstill on an outside painting job due to bad weather. He was able to stop by within the hour for an estimate and said he could come back the next morning with one of his guys to do the work. We coordinated for me to pick up the paint, and he and his employee showed up as planned the next morning. They worked quickly and efficiently to get the job done. There was an area that needed a touch-up the next day, and both Rich and his co-worker were able to come back ASAP to correct it. I was very happy with their work."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

A nail in drywall cannot hold very much—usually only a few pounds. A nail in a stud can add support and hold around 20 pounds. If you are trying to hang something heavier, get some help from drywall anchors—toggle bolts are very strong and able to withstand more weight.

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.

A 50-pound mirror can be hung on drywall, but only if it has the support of strong hardware. Ideally, you can find the studs behind the drywall and attach the mirror to them; this will give your mirror better stability. Otherwise, confirm that you are using anchors appropriate to the weight of the mirrors. Another technique is to use French cleats—two pieces of wood that fit together, with one piece attached to the wall and the other to the mirror. This allows the weight to be distributed over a wider area.

Plaster provides a durable, soundproof, and moisture-resistant finish compared to drywall.

While not always necessary, you can glue a drywall ceiling in addition to using screws or nails. Drywall is typically secured to ceiling joists with fasteners, which is often sufficient. However, adding construction adhesive can offer benefits like preventing sagging, bridging gaps, and reducing air leaks for better energy efficiency. It may also be used for specific acoustic or insulation needs. On the other hand, many professionals advise against it because properly placed screws make the drywall structural, glue doesn't add strength, and it makes future repairs or replacements significantly more difficult. Ultimately, it's best to follow local building codes and project-specific requirements to decide if adhesive is right for your ceiling.
