"I hired this firm for drywalling. The fast turnaround on the work was impressive, but even more impressive - and appreciated - was that they did the painting job I had to go with it!"

"This company was very responsive and was able to work with me through changes in the weather and times that I was available due to my work schedule. They were punctual and got the job completed quicker than expected with great quality. I needed my old tattered wire fence removed in my yard, and within the first 15 minutes of being there, they had about a quarter of a done already. It looks great and my yard and house looks so much better."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Your walls are likely cracking due to fluctuations in the temperature outside. Drywall tends to expand and contract when temperatures and humidity levels change, and this repeated movement can lead to cracks in your walls, particularly around door frames. If you have multiple diagonal cracks, you may want to have your foundation inspected, as cracks can also be a sign of a bigger issue.

Yes, it matters which side of drywall you use. One side is smooth, and the other is rough. The smooth side should be facing outward, toward the room, while the rough side should be hidden and facing the studs and framing of the house. The smooth side will be easier to apply tape, joint compound, and, later, paint to.

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.

Pros ensure smooth finishes and lasting repairs, avoiding visible patches.

Drywall tape is made of paper, while drywall mesh is made of fiberglass or metal. Drywall mesh patches are suitable for repairing small holes in drywall, while paper drywall tape holds a crease better for corners. You need joint compound to adhere drywall tape to the wall, while mesh patches may be self-adhesive.
