"We highly recommend Wayne for drywall replacement and repairs. He gave a fair price for drywall work in two rooms and was always very prompt and efficient. We were really happy to find someone who is willing to take small jobs and plan to hire him again in the future."

"Manuel completed two projects for me at different times. One involved drywall and painting and the other involved drywall, painting and a bit of carpentry. Both jobs were done very quickly considering what was involved. The work, itself, was excellent and exceeded my expectations both times. When finished, the holes in my living room ceiling and underneath my kitchen sink looked better than new ! In addition, his prices are very fair for the time spent and quality achieved. I could not recommend him more highly. Hire him once and he will be your call-back professional ever after."

"Just wanted to give a big shout-out to Patchmaster Katy for the great job they did repairing our drywall! They showed up exactly when they said they would, got the work done quickly, and the quality is fantastic?you can?t even tell there was ever any damage. On top of that, they were super respectful of our home, kept everything tidy, and cleaned up perfectly before leaving. It?s so nice to work with people who take pride in their work. Highly recommend if you ever need drywall repairs done right!"

Small jobs welcome

"Mark Engelhardt of MWE Contracting first worked for us when we needed disaster recovery that included replacement of cabinets (custom built, painted white), replacement of drywall, matching of texture on walls, replacement of baseboards and quarter round, and painting of walls and woodwork. We were pleased with his work, so hired him for remodeling. This included installation of 3 pocket doors, preparation for the master bath shower, tile work (master bath shower and floors), installation of frameless glass shower enclosure, removal of wallpaper, painting of the exterior of our house and fence, replacement of all interior door handles, and front door refinishing. When we had disc and pendant lights installed on the first floor, he repaired the ceiling cuts so that we could not tell where they had been. Mark is knowledgeable, trustworthy and pleasant to have in the home. The people he hires to do their specialties are all lovely. He works well with others, e.g. when cooperating with the electrician to remove the old fluorescent light and install pendant lights. He took care of city permits. Good communication. We are happy with his work and will hire him again when we are ready to do additional remodeling."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

You can take a few steps to save money on drywall installation, even when hiring a professional to do the bulk of the work for you. These ideas include the following:

  • Buy the drywall and other materials yourself to avoid product markup and delivery fees

  • Ask about discounts if you use the same company to tape, spackle, and paint

  • Hire drywall professionals in the winter when demand is the lowest

  • DIY as many parts of the project as possible, like replacing insulation and painting

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.

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.

Plaster provides a durable, soundproof, and moisture-resistant finish compared to drywall.

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.
