"Michael Roderick from coal river properties was the professional who took care of our home repair needs. We had a bathroom leak that caused drywall damage. We were contacted within a few hours after making an inquiry on home advisor and within 2 days Mr. Roderick was on the job. He assessed the situation, gave a very reasonable estimate and made the appropriate repairs in an efficient manner with meticulous craftsmanship. I’d highly recommend."

"I highly recommend Donald of Cantrell Painting for your painting and drywall needs. He always shows up on time and is a man of his word. I really liked how he explained how he would do the job and the way he communicated throughout the project. He has great attention to detail and is a stickler for cleaning up after his work. I will be hiring Donald again for future projects including solid wood door staining, inside and outside painting, and refinishing kitchen cabinets. Excellent, excellent work."

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

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.

Costs range from $500 to $5,000, depending on damage size, labor, and finishing requirements.

While you can put new drywall over old drywall, it’s not always the best option. In some cases, drywalling over drywall can make it harder to find wires and pipes behind your walls and conceal more serious problems with your walls. It can also make the room smaller. On the plus side, putting drywall over drywall can improve soundproofing and insulation. Plus, it’s often less expensive than tearing down and adding new drywall.

The easiest way to cut holes in drywall for electrical boxes is to use a spiral saw with a drywall router bit. Hang the drywall without cutting out a hole for the box, but make sure you measure and mark where the box is located on the wall. Once you screw in the drywall sheet, drill a small hole into the box void, insert the spiral saw bit, and move it around the edge of the box using the inside wall as a guide. You can also use an oscillating multi-tool with an electrical box cutout for fast, professional results.
