"I would highly recommend Tito for any home project or repair. Tito did a fantastic job on all our projects, was very professional, punctual and has a quality work ethic. Initially hired to install kitchen faucet and repair hole in drywall, but we were so pleased with his work, we had him also replace our outside window trim boards, repair a rotted room bump-out outside, paint dining room and install a light fixture - all done with quality and care. I will definitely hire Tito for all my home improvement projects and home repairs."

"Mr Giovanni and his helper were very polite. They tape down the floors and cover the room with plastic to keep the room dust free. All the dry wall and insulation was removed and they clean up very well. I gave the 5 stars., because they were very professional. Thank you Mr. Giovanni."

"Our bathroom was remodeled down to the studs! The bathroom had new dry wall and the new paint tied everything together! (Used two different colors for the walls and ceiling for a custom touch). Our interior doors were also replaced with new door frames/molding. The painting for the new doors, trim, and surrounding drywall repair looked like a magazine when the work was completed. The team was a pleasure to work with, stayed on their timeline, and meticulously cleaned after their days work. We highly recommend Gibbs painting for all your home projects!"

"Tony did a lot in three days: refinished the floors in two rooms, painted, removed an old washer/dryer unit and built shelves in the alcove. We have been looking for months for someone reliable to do work on our place in Sperryville. Tac's Handy Services is the answer. We highly recommend!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Both plaster and drywall are durable wall finishes, but they differ significantly in installation, cost, performance, and aesthetics.

Installation & Cost: Drywall installation is faster and more affordable, typically costing $1.50 to $3 per square foot. It uses premade sheets, making it a more accessible DIY project. Plastering is a labor-intensive craft that requires specialized skills, pushing costs to $2 to $10 per square foot. It involves applying a wet paste over a lath framework.

Durability & Performance: Plaster is generally more durable, longer-lasting, and provides superior soundproofing. It is also a better insulator, which can help reduce energy costs. Drywall is easier to remove for future renovations.

Aesthetics: Drywall provides a smooth, uniform surface ready for paint or texture. Plaster offers a high-end, naturally textured look that can hide imperfections and is often preferred for achieving a classic or historic aesthetic.

Which is better? The choice depends on your priorities. Drywall is ideal for those prioritizing a lower upfront cost, faster installation, and DIY potential. Plaster is the better option for a higher-end project where durability, soundproofing, and a unique, premium finish are more important than the initial cost.

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.

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.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

Whether you need a drywall anchor depends on the specifics of your project, particularly what you're hanging and where. You do not need a drywall anchor if you can screw or nail the object directly into a wooden stud, as the wood provides sufficient support and stability. However, if there are no studs in the location where you plan to hang the item, you should use drywall anchors to ensure it is securely supported. For very lightweight objects, like small pictures, adhesive picture hanging strips can be a suitable alternative to anchors.
