"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!"

"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

Yes, you can speed up the time it takes for plaster to dry, but it's important to do so carefully to avoid issues like cracking or crumbling. Proper ventilation is key; open a window or use a fan to circulate air in the room. Heat can also accelerate drying, but be cautious, as too much heat can cause the plaster to dry too quickly and crack. Check the plaster's packaging for the recommended drying temperature and set the room's thermostat accordingly. While managing humidity is important, avoid using a dehumidifier, which can remove moisture too aggressively and result in crumbly plaster.

Water-damaged drywall should almost always be replaced. Not only does it look bad, it’s a breeding ground for toxic mold. Even if you think the area is dry and there’s no active leak, the only way to be sure is to cut out the damaged area and see for yourself.

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.

All plaster walls will crack over time due to normal house settling and expansion and contraction from temperature and moisture changes. Small, thin hairline cracks are generally not serious and are mostly a cosmetic issue. However, larger or more significant cracks can indicate structural problems.

Here's how to tell the difference:

  • Cosmetic Cracks: Cracks that are 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) or thinner are typically cosmetic.

  • Structural Cracks: Cracks wider than 0.5 cm, excessive or deep cracks, multiple cracks in the same area, or cracks that span around corners can signify a structural or foundation issue. Cracks along the joints where walls meet the ceiling also warrant attention.

For cracks wider than 0.5 cm, structural repair is needed. If a crack is 2.5 cm (1 inch) or wider, or if you notice any signs of a structural problem, it is best to contact a plaster repair professional to assess the damage.

Knowing what causes drywall damage can help stop it before it starts. Here are some of the most common causes of drywall damage: 

  • Water damage from roof leaks or leaky pipes. 

  • Small holes caused by doorknobs, minor accidents, and rodent infestations. 

  • Wall dents stemming from moving furniture and minor accidents. 

  • Wall cracks that form from a settling foundation or seismic activity. 

  • Nail pops from nails and screws in the walls. 

  • Large holes that are caused by accidents with heavy objects, children and pets, or sporting equipment.
