"I had a great experience with Emerald Standard Home Repair. Nick and his crew did an excellent job assembling my grill—everything was put together quickly, correctly, and with attention to detail. They were professional, courteous, and clearly knew what they were doing. What I appreciated most was how smooth the whole process was. They showed up on time, worked efficiently, and made sure everything was set up safely and ready to use before they left. It saved me a lot of time and frustration. I would definitely recommend Emerald Standard Home Repair to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality help around the house. I’ll be calling them again for future projects."

"They were great with discussing what I needed done. They showed up on time on scheduled day and started prepping the area for repair. Once the job was completed, they cleaned up after themselves, including mopping the wood floor so there would be no drywall dust. Great contractor and would hire again without question. Highly recommend!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Plaster that sags or bulges, shows extensive deep cracks, or is crumbling from water damage or simply time may need replacement. Plaster walls can look a little “worn” for a long time before they need replacing. The only real way to know if it needs a replacement is to hire a professional to assess the condition of the plaster.

You can usually tell if you have plaster or drywall by touch (plaster is harder, colder, and smoother than drywall) or by tapping on it (drywall sounds hollow, plaster does not). If you still cannot tell, peek under an outlet cover and check the cut edges. The rough edges show the composition of the wall. You will see either drywall (two paper sheets sandwiching gypsum material) or only plaster material (no paper sheets).

A 50-pound mirror can be hung on drywall, but only if it has the support of strong hardware. Ideally, you can find the studs behind the drywall and attach the mirror to them; this will give your mirror better stability. Otherwise, confirm that you are using anchors appropriate to the weight of the mirrors. Another technique is to use French cleats—two pieces of wood that fit together, with one piece attached to the wall and the other to the mirror. This allows the weight to be distributed over a wider area.

While a normal moisture level for drywall is between 5% and 12%, replacement is recommended if you get consistent readings above 17%. At this level, the drywall is likely too compromised by extensive moisture damage to be considered safe. You can replace either the entire sheet or just the affected section. If you are unsure after a visual inspection, it is best to have a contractor or water restoration provider use a professional moisture meter to get an accurate reading.

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.
