"Matt repaired a few areas of drywall in our ceiling that had been damaged by a leak and along the edges of some walls. He arrived on time, every time. The care he took with keeping the dust and debris down was outstanding. His repair looked excellent as well. I wouldn’t hesitate calling him again."

"The drywall repair in the ceiling turned out great. Mike did a great job of matching the texture. He also insulated a duct that was causing the condensation problem. He is very conscientious about his work."

"Bob and his Assistant showed up two days prior to give an estimate, and provided me with a list of all the materials needed to insulate and underpin the back of my home. It included a detailed list of items such as the correct screws, nails, metal sheating, and insulation to purchase. They had all their own tools though to complete the job. I ordered my own materials from Lowe's, according to his estimate. They showed up immediately, the very next day, after the Lowe's order was delivered and began working. They also power washed the entire exterior of the house, he brought his own power washer, and hoses. All I needed to do was supply the water and a water connection. Their service was average, he had somewhat of a fiesty atittude at times, long lunch and breaks, however, people need breaks and a lunch. Not a big deal. Lol. Otherwise, since the job was completed satisfactorily, and I was pleased with it, I will not complain about anything else. Yes, I will definitely use his services again in the future, if needed."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

If you’re installing new drywall, you may need to skim coat the drywall first for a smooth finish and to allow the primer to adhere to the wall. It’s only necessary if there are imperfections in your drywall due to issues with the studs or improper drywall installation. If you’re refreshing existing walls, you may want to skim coat if there are imperfections across the wall. As an alternative, you can repair your drywall and sand it for a smooth finish before painting.

Most handy homeowners can tackle removing texture from unpainted walls. Removing texture from painted walls is a bit trickier. Paint acts as a sealant, so you can’t soften the texture with water. Instead, you’ll have to add a layer of drywall compound known as a skim coat. This process is messy and takes some practice.

Certain drywall textures, like sand and sometimes popcorn, can be smoothed by applying skim coats, sanding the walls, or chipping away the texture. However, it’s worth considering removing the texture and starting with a blank canvas. Smoothing textured walls requires a lot of sandpaper and elbow grease and can take longer than just outright removing the texture.

It doesn’t matter which way you lay drywall, and you can choose to install it horizontally or vertically depending on the size of the wall and how tall the ceiling is. It’s easier to lay drywall sheets vertically if you have a taller ceiling, but laying sheets horizontally makes it easier to apply joint compound.

Deciding whether to repair or replace drywall can be tricky, but your top considerations should be the extent of the damage and what caused the damage. For instance, if you need to repair a small hole caused by a doorknob that hit the wall, you can safely patch it without a second thought. However, if you have significant drywall damage caused by water damage, it’s best to thoroughly remove the drywall to inspect and repair the pipes behind it before replacing it.
