"If you need drywall work done, call Robert! He and Chris just finished up the drywall in my garage and it looks great. They promptly returned phone calls, were on-time, charged a fair price, and did quality work. They were very friendly too! I'd gladly recommend them anyone, including friends and family."

"We couldn't finish scraping and evening out our stippled ceiling that was inherited from previous owners. We asked for an estimate, Isaias came at a time convenient for us (Saturday), gave a fair estimate. He came back with his team and worked on our stippled ceiling for 3 days. They taped off the area, they brought their own ladders, they unrolled a stepping mat from the door to the work area to prevent tracking dirt in and out. Each day they came on time, every time. The new ceiling looks great. Will definitely hire them again."

"Paul has always been helpful and worked with us on a variety or projects; plumbing, electrical, carpentry, flooring. The price was good and the work lasted. He takes his time planning projects, but this means the work gets done right the first time. He has enough experience to know the quick short cut way that many contractors will use and the correct way that takes a little longer but lasts longer. He helped us with work on the kitchen floor of our old house and he was able to see the signs of years of damage that we would have otherwise missed. Paul saved us time and money when we got it sold!"

"I had to have my long driveway cleared from snow. James handled the job. Unlike other businesses in Charlottesville where it is hit and miss if they get back to you, James was in constant contact with me and followed up each of my calls and requests. He was thoroughly reliable, skilled, friendly, and patient. He did not leave the job until I was completely satisfied. He is a hard worker and I wish I could leave him 10 stars!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Choose a drill bit that is the size of the screws of the anchors you will use. You aren’t drilling through metal or concrete—hopefully—so any standard twist, wooden or all-purpose drill bit will work fine. It’s also important to have a screwdriver capable of drilling through the drywall and into the stud. The good news is most available drills, even the older ones, can do this with no issue.

While it’s most common to sand plaster dry, it is possible to wet-sand plaster, too. Doing so can reduce the amount of plaster dust released into the air and make it easier to work in smaller, more delicate areas (such as around wall trim). However, some people find that wet sanding leads to more imperfections, which is why larger walls are more often dry sanded to ensure an even finish.

Regularly in areas prone to moisture or high traffic to catch issues early.

The cost to skim coat drywall is $1.15 to $1.35 per square foot. Most of the cost is labor, for the necessary skills to apply the skim coat with precision using high-quality tools. This is a job better left to the professionals for the best outcomes.

There is no way to cut drywall without making dust, but you can reduce the amount of dust and especially the dangerous airborne particles by using manual cutting tools. Using a utility knife to score and snap your drywall will minimize dust production, and a jab saw for cutting cutouts for boxes and fixtures will generate almost no airborne dust. Even if you use these methods, you should still wear a respirator and safety goggles to avoid damage to your lungs and eyes.
