"Our powder room walls had some damage underneath wallpaper. We needed the drywall removed, replaced and spackled as well as two medicine cabinet holes filled in. They did such an amazing job! And I am picky with work."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently had drywall installed and was really impressed with the results! The crew was professional, on time, and paid attention to detail. The seams are smooth, corners are sharp, and they left the space clean when they were done. They worked efficiently without cutting corners, and the finish is ready for paint. Highly recommend if you’re looking for quality drywall work done right!"

"Vince did an awesome job for us framing up a new door in an existing hallway, installing new drywall around the door as well as installing the door, frame, and trim. We were extremely pleased with the work and would recommend to anyone looking for similar work to be done. Vince was very communicative and matched the new door to our existing doors and trim. Highly recommend."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

You can usually tell if you have plaster or drywall by touch (plaster is harder, colder, and smoother than drywall) or by tapping on it (drywall sounds hollow, plaster does not). If you still cannot tell, peek under an outlet cover and check the cut edges. The rough edges show the composition of the wall. You will see either drywall (two paper sheets sandwiching gypsum material) or only plaster material (no paper sheets).

You’ll want to inspect your plaster walls for signs of damage before painting. If you notice soft spots, deep cracks, bubbling, or areas where the plaster is crumbling or pulling away from the wall, it likely needs repair. While small hairline cracks are common and likely cosmetic, you should address larger issues before painting to ensure a quality, smooth finish.

You can skim coat plaster, but it’s better to repair the plaster itself. A skim coat is a thin coat of drywall joint compound spread over the surface of a wall. The result is a flat finish that looks pleasing, but part of the appeal of plaster is its imperfections and aesthetic. Skim coating is best when limited to drywall applications.

Damp plaster does dry out, although the drying time depends on several factors, including the type of plaster, the surrounding temperature, moisture content, and the extent of the dampness. Sometimes, it can take weeks or months for wall plaster to dry naturally.

You should always hang drywall from the top down. Starting at the top makes it easier to create a straight, tight line between the ceiling and the wall. Any gaps that occur will be at the bottom, where they are easier to manage. You can either cut the bottom piece of drywall to fit the remaining space or cover the gap with baseboard trim. Additionally, starting at the top is physically easier, as you won't have to fit the top sheet into a tight space between the lower sheet and the ceiling, or try to balance the upper sheets on the lower ones while securing them.
