"He did a great job patching some ceiling drywall that had been damaged by water leaks. He even repaired a third spot that I hadn't originally noticed in my family room without charging me anything extra. I really like this guy and will use him again if I need drywall repair. Very friendly, punctual and honest."

"We were in the middle of a tile install, and needed some quick drywall repairs completed before our project could continue. Rafael was able to fit us into his schedule, and did a fantastic job on very short notice."

Customers say: Quality work

"I'm very happy with the quality of the work and the value, given I got three other quotes for finishing my basement before selecting Dan. He and his guys are very friendly and easy-going. He kept to his word on the price and was very accommodating of small changes as the project progressed. My only negative comments surround communication and timeliness. There were numerous days I expected Dan and his crew to come that they didn't show up. They also never came to the house before 10:30 AM and were usually gone for the day by 2:00 so the job dragged on far longer than we originally agreed it would. That said, I know it was a small basement job and there were days they couldn't do more until something dried. Bottom line, despite the delays and poor communication at times, I think Dan is honest, hard-working, and does a good job for the money so I would hire him again."

"I hired R&E to install cabinets, a kitchen island and transoms. They came in and did a beautiful job. They were respectful and communication was excellent. The price was fair. I would recommend Rooster & Eagle for your home improvement needs."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

You should leave a gap between drywall sheets because they naturally expand and contract along with the building framing as temperature and humidity change. Most pro drywall installers leave a gap of about ⅛ inch between drywall sheets, allowing the sheets to expand, contract, and shift without cracking or becoming damaged. If you don’t leave enough gaps between slabs, the edges will press against each other when they expand, and the pressure can cause visible cracks.

If you don’t have studs in the area where you want to install your TV mount, you may still be able to install a TV mount on drywall. The easiest way to install a mount on drywall is by using drywall anchors—but not just any plastic anchors. Choose molly bolts or toggle anchors, which have a weight capacity of around 50 pounds. For added support, consider pairing drywall anchors with a wall mounting plate. Extra heavy TVs may need to be mounted via the ceiling joists or beams.

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.

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.

Whether you need a drywall anchor depends on the specifics of your project, particularly what you're hanging and where. You do not need a drywall anchor if you can screw or nail the object directly into a wooden stud, as the wood provides sufficient support and stability. However, if there are no studs in the location where you plan to hang the item, you should use drywall anchors to ensure it is securely supported. For very lightweight objects, like small pictures, adhesive picture hanging strips can be a suitable alternative to anchors.
