"I called Nate on a Tuesday afternoon to ask about a drywall repair in our kitchen. He happened to be working in the area, and he arrived at our house about 90 minutes later to fix the hole in our ceiling. I was able to send him a picture when I first spoke with him, and he was able to quote a price, and he assured me that he could have the hole fixed that day, and he did! He also tackled another project in our hallway. He and his crew returned two more times over the next few days to complete both projects, as sanding was required. Their work is exceptional, and we were so impressed that the work could be completed so quickly. I would highly recommend Nate and his crew!"

"Mike Thomas and his team did a GREAT job! He was dependable, personable and had great attention to detail...he spotted issues not seen by the other two companies. He was the middle in pricing among the 3 estimates we received. After meeting with all 3 companies my wife and I thought Mike was the right choice...and he was...we were right!!!"

"Ed took on several projects/repairs in our home. We needed to have repairs to our drywall and our ceilings from prior electrical work. He retaped, fixed nail pops, muddled, sanded, primed then painted four very large rooms. They are now flawless and we are thrilled with the results. He fixed our baseboards that had tricky transitions. They look seamless! He fixed a faulty dimmer switch too! He was very professional and reliable, communicating with us throughout this process. I would definitely recommend him!"

"Allen (and Jeff) were fantastic! The work was done with excellence and care and in a timely fashion! Multiple projects were required. Our dishwasher leaked and ruined the floors in our kitchen and dining room. With needing this work done we decided we might as well have all the little DIY projects my husband completed over the years corrected as well. Cabinet repair, electrical, HVAC, drywall repair, wallpaper removal, new flooring - LVP - on entire main floor of house (and entrance to family room), new trim and paint in kitchen, DR, LR and family room, repair ceiling of garage and paint and I'm sure I missed some. This was an extensive project for us and Allen was forthcoming and honest with all of our decisions helping to guide us to the best outcome. We have lived in our home for 29 years and all the work Allen completed has truly made us fall in love with our house again. Major beautiful improvements - well done! Give him a call, ask to see his portfolio of past projects - we have lots of photos of before, during and after. Nice guy, hard-working and very clean! Give him a call - you will not be disappointed."

"The owners of the company were helpful and easy to talk to . The professionals they sent to do the painting did an excellent job. They covered everything and made sure no paint got on anything but where it was supposed to be painted. I highly recommend them and I will use them again.

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Plaster is denser, harder, and more porous than drywall, so it absorbs moisture differently. This means you’ll often need more prep work, such as thorough sanding, patching, and priming with a high-quality bonding primer. Additionally, you may need more coats of paint to achieve even coverage. While the process takes more time, it helps ensure a durable and professional-looking result.

In many cases, installing new drywall will boost your home value. Replacing old, damaged, cracked, or wavy drywall is a great way to improve the look and feel of your home, as new drywall installed by a professional shouldn’t have any imperfections. Additionally, removing old drywall means you’ll have open walls, so you can install new insulation and address exposed issues with plumbing and electrical systems running behind the walls. All of these fixes will also add to your home’s value.

While you can put new drywall over old drywall, it’s not always the best option. In some cases, drywalling over drywall can make it harder to find wires and pipes behind your walls and conceal more serious problems with your walls. It can also make the room smaller. On the plus side, putting drywall over drywall can improve soundproofing and insulation. Plus, it’s often less expensive than tearing down and adding new drywall.

There is no way to cut drywall without making dust, but you can reduce the amount of dust and especially the dangerous airborne particles by using manual cutting tools. Using a utility knife to score and snap your drywall will minimize dust production, and a jab saw for cutting cutouts for boxes and fixtures will generate almost no airborne dust. Even if you use these methods, you should still wear a respirator and safety goggles to avoid damage to your lungs and eyes.

The best way to make long, straight cuts is to use a utility knife and a T-square to score the sheet, snap along the score, and then finish the cut by cutting through the paper on the opposite side with the utility knife. If you’re making small cuts, curved cuts, or cutouts for electrical boxes or light fixtures, you can use a manual jab saw to keep costs down, but an electric spiral saw or oscillating multi-tool will get the cleanest, fastest cuts possible.
