"Surface pro really are pros! From their initial visit for an estimate to the last Dab of touch up paint on the final walk through I couldn’t be happier with the quality and professionalism exhibited by these two craftsmen. The drywall portion of the job is flawless and the tile was laid with much skill and looks great! I would recommend Surface Pros whole heartedly! Nice guys that show up when they say they will and top notch quality is a combo that can’t be beat!"

"I highly recommend PatchitUp of Lansdale for drywall installation and painting. Lou provides valuable customer care, informing of steps of the project and detailed estimates. Technician Kameryn Stevens is very professional, courteous, and helpful. He worked on installing drywall and painting of my laundry room, garage wall, and bathroom. The work quality is excellent. and the work area is left clean every day of the project. Also recommend the Home Guard service which provides valuable discounts."

"PG Tedesco has done 2 projects for me - addition of a first floor laundry center snd addition of a large window in my kitchen. I had 2 other builders tell me the laundry center couldnâ t be done. Paul figured it out and itâ  s perfect. His carpenter, painter, electrician, & plumber were always on time, courteous, and did excellent work. For the window, he was able to match an existing large bay window exactly with a large double hung window added to the perpendicular wall. It looks like they were all done in the same project."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

The best tool for skim coating drywall is a skim coating blade, which can smooth out joint compound in wide stretches. While you could use a smaller drywall knife for skim coating, the smaller size means it’ll take longer to smooth out each section. Instead, consider investing in a skim coating blade for the quickest application.

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.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

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.

The two most common drywall thicknesses for ceilings are 1/2-inch and 5/8-inch. For most standard residential applications, 1/2-inch drywall is sufficient and widely used. It provides adequate support and is lighter and easier to handle during installation compared to thicker sheets. However, 5/8-inch drywall is often used for specific cases where additional benefits are needed. It is heavier but provides superior sound dampening and fire resistance. You should consider using 5/8-inch drywall for ceilings in commercial buildings, between a garage and a living space, or above a finished basement to meet building codes or for enhanced soundproofing.
