"J and G Drywall is a fantastic, top notch professional service! The owner came and repaired a large section of loose drywall tape in the main living area. He sealed cracks in the living room, dining room and kitchen. He expertly repaired problems with the cathedral ceiling where some holes had developed from previous owner hanging a model airplane there. He repaired an area above my chimney where a small amount of water damage had previously caused some drywall peeling. The walls are now prepped for my painting project and are like new again! The owner completed all the repairs himself in an efficient and expert manner. A true craftsman with excellent skills and professionalism. I would highly recommend this service to anyone with any type of drywall repair, restoration or other need. Super pleased!"

"I wanted to take the time to share my experience with Premium Drywall. I had the pleasure of meeting Jesus during this project for my home. Jesus was responsive to my inquiries, and communicated effectively throughout the process. Jesus was punctual and respectful when delivering services, and he completed the job within the agreed-upon timeline. I highly recommend anyone, looking to accomplish a professional drywall finishing project, to contact Premium Drywall. The price of the service most definitely aligned with the quality of work. Jesus paid attention to detail in areas like corners, ceilings, and around electrical outlets. The drywall was properly sanded to achieve a smooth finish, and the area was left clean and tidy. After assessing the quality of the work, the professionalism of Premium Drywall, and the overall experience I am a highly satisfied customer! Thank you!"

"It’s quite a relief knowing Marci does what he says he will do. He showed up on time and completed a stone wall project that had come loose. He worked diligently for over 10 hours until the job was successfully completed. Many thanks and look forward to repairing the drywall at both of my homes next week. I highly recommend Marci and thank Angi for connecting us!"

"They are professional and prompt, accurate in their estimate and priced very reasonably. When unsure they ask, they are responsive to feedback and immediately fix anything mentioned. Pleasant to deal with and so respectful! They have now painted our bathrooms, main living rooms and our back deck posts that needed staining. They can handle a variety of painting tasks including removing wallpaper, putting down stain/smell blocker, painting trim and ceiling coffers and brought their own scaffolding. They were great to do additional coats when needed (like taking color to white) and were easy to get a hold of. They cleaned up after and put everything back where they found it. I will be hiring them again when Iâ m ready to paint my basement. I highly recommend this company!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Whether it’s better to screw or glue drywall depends on your specific budget and project timeline. Professional drywall installers are more likely to use screws and fasteners than adhesives, but it takes longer. But if you are DIYing your drywall installation, glue is a perfectly fine choice if you’re willing to pay extra for adhesive.

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.

Both plaster and drywall are durable wall finishes, but they differ significantly in installation, cost, performance, and aesthetics.

Installation & Cost: Drywall installation is faster and more affordable, typically costing $1.50 to $3 per square foot. It uses premade sheets, making it a more accessible DIY project. Plastering is a labor-intensive craft that requires specialized skills, pushing costs to $2 to $10 per square foot. It involves applying a wet paste over a lath framework.

Durability & Performance: Plaster is generally more durable, longer-lasting, and provides superior soundproofing. It is also a better insulator, which can help reduce energy costs. Drywall is easier to remove for future renovations.

Aesthetics: Drywall provides a smooth, uniform surface ready for paint or texture. Plaster offers a high-end, naturally textured look that can hide imperfections and is often preferred for achieving a classic or historic aesthetic.

Which is better? The choice depends on your priorities. Drywall is ideal for those prioritizing a lower upfront cost, faster installation, and DIY potential. Plaster is the better option for a higher-end project where durability, soundproofing, and a unique, premium finish are more important than the initial cost.

Most handy homeowners can tackle removing texture from unpainted walls. Removing texture from painted walls is a bit trickier. Paint acts as a sealant, so you can’t soften the texture with water. Instead, you’ll have to add a layer of drywall compound known as a skim coat. This process is messy and takes some practice.

While every home has its own unique needs, ceiling drywall installation typically follows a staggered or stepped pattern to enhance structural integrity and reduce the visibility of seams. Starting from one corner, sheets are placed perpendicular to the ceiling joists, with the ends of adjacent sheets meeting along the center of the joist. The next row begins with a half sheet, ensuring joints don't align vertically. This alternating pattern, combined with proper taping and mudding, creates a seamless appearance and strengthens the ceiling structure, minimizing the risk of cracks over time.
