"I had a couple spots in our drywall that needed repair from an old security system. He was extremely quick to respond, communicated well on the details and timeline, and the finished product looks great at a very fair price. Would recommend to anyone looking for a drywall repair."

"MLS Drywall & Paint is an excellent company that strives to fully satisfy. This was the only company that truly listened to my desires and made sure to explain all possible options and limitations that could lie ahead. They have a trustworthy, courteous, and hardworking group of craftsmen. The work they have done for me was everything I was hoping for and more. While they were not the cheapest pricewise, the cost is worth the quality of craftsmanship they provide! I am so happy with all the work you have done in my home. I have come to think of this company as an extension of my family. Thank you!"

"I was having trouble getting a drywall repair done because everyone that I called was very busy and said it was going to be 4-6 weeks before they could do the repair. I called Cane at Dream Renovationz about 7pm on Thursday evening.  I really expected to leave a message, but to my surprise Cane actually answered the phone.  I told him that I needed drywall replaced/repaired in three different areas due to a washer/dryer add-on in the garage. I explained that I was having a great deal of trouble getting someone to do the job.  Cane said that normally they did not do small jobs, but he would try to help me out.  After talking again the next day, Cane said he would send his drywall contractor out on Saturday to do the job.  On Saturday, Cane and his drywall contractor arrived and Cane looked over the job.  He quoted me about $90 higher than the other two estimates I had received, but he was there and willing to do the job, so I agreed to the price. The contractor was very pleasant, and worked steady and was very careful.  At one point there was an electrical problem that came about when turning on a power tool. It seemed that either a plug was bad or a breaker was bad. Not sure what to do, I called Cane and explained the problem.  He showed up at my house and fixed the problem within a few minutes.  I was very impressed at his willingness to fix the problem and also impressed that he was able to identify and fix the electrical issue within a few minutes. The contractor finished the project and asked me if I was completely satisfied.  He wanted to make sure that I was happy before he left.  I was very happy with the work and would use this company again.  I really appreciate that Cane was able to help me out and do this small job for me. Cane was friendly and so was the contractor that actually did the work.

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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.

Plaster ceilings can sag for several reasons. In some cases, the plaster and other building materials shift and come apart over time, which is why you’ll commonly find drooping plaster ceilings in older homes. Improper installation, foot traffic, and water damage—often from a leaky roof or a broken pipe—can also cause plaster ceilings to sag.

Drywall mudding can be done in one day if the project is small and the desired effect isn’t too complex. If you need multiple layers of mud, one day may not be realistic. But a single room that requires little more than joint compound on the seams and screws can be done in a day or two.

Whether to repair or replace water-damaged plaster depends on the scale of the damage. For small, limited areas, you can often perform a repair yourself. If you choose to paint over small patches, ensure the surface is completely dry and apply a coat of antifungal primer first to prevent mold growth. However, simply painting or plastering over the damage is only a temporary solution that doesn't address the core problem. For more extensive or long-term damage, the plaster may be compromised, and there is a risk of mold. In these cases, it is recommended to remove the damaged section of plasterboard and replace it. You may consider hiring a professional for the repair, and it's worth noting that water damage is often covered by home insurance.

A post-drywall inspection could uncover many problems that weren’t present during the pre-drywall inspection, including insufficient insulation, missing weather stripping, improperly installed plumbing and lighting fixtures, flooring damage, drywall damage, plumbing leaks, aesthetic issues, and more. Structural problems, which are often expensive to fix and are common reasons to walk away after a home inspection, are easier to see before the drywall goes up, but a post-drywall inspection may highlight minor issues with house settling and foundation problems.
