"Teyo and his crew came out to do a drywall install for our vaulted living room ceiling. When his crew arrived they went above and beyond helping us remove the old drywall and moving it to a place we could easily haul it away. Teyo even offered to texture the front entry way walls and ceiling so it would match the ceiling in the living room free of charge. We are doing a full house remodel so it was super helpful keeping us on schedule. I would definitely recommend Teyo for any of your drywall needs!"

"We had a great experience with this drywall repair company. The owner, Trent, and Alan were both extremely professional and took the time to explain the entire process and what to expect. What really stood out was how much care they took to protect our home—they covered everything to keep the space clean while they worked. The finished result was incredible. You honestly can’t tell there was ever any damage there in the first place. The wall looks completely seamless, like the repair never even happened. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing drywall work."

Customers say: True professional

"D-R Drywall did a great job with our ceiling work. They took the time to drape and tape the area to minimize the impact upon the rest of the house. We truly appreciated that. They were professional, efficient, and did quality work. They were nice people as well. We are glad we hired them."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Drywall tape is made of paper, while drywall mesh is made of fiberglass or metal. Drywall mesh patches are suitable for repairing small holes in drywall, while paper drywall tape holds a crease better for corners. You need joint compound to adhere drywall tape to the wall, while mesh patches may be self-adhesive.

You should stagger drywall sheets to help prevent cracking. The joints between drywall sheets are the weak spots, so if you install drywall with seams aligned, you’ll create weak lines that run across the length of the wall and extend from floor to ceiling. But when you stagger drywall, the solid sections of panels will support the joints. This can prevent seams from cracking or separating due to fluctuating temperature and humidity, vibrations from movement inside the home, and gravity.

If you’re installing new drywall, you may need to skim coat the drywall first for a smooth finish and to allow the primer to adhere to the wall. It’s only necessary if there are imperfections in your drywall due to issues with the studs or improper drywall installation. If you’re refreshing existing walls, you may want to skim coat if there are imperfections across the wall. As an alternative, you can repair your drywall and sand it for a smooth finish before painting.

It doesn’t matter which way you lay drywall, and you can choose to install it horizontally or vertically depending on the size of the wall and how tall the ceiling is. It’s easier to lay drywall sheets vertically if you have a taller ceiling, but laying sheets horizontally makes it easier to apply joint compound.

Plaster is a beautiful finish but is labor-intensive to install and remove. It’s vulnerable to cracking and more sensitive to moisture variance than drywall. Installing plaster on a new wall is an expensive process that can take days to weeks, depending on the scope. Removing a plaster wall can also be quite expensive and time-consuming.
