"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."

"Really happy with the drywall repair. Had a decent-sized hole in the wall that I figured would need a visible patch, but honestly you can't tell it was ever damaged - texture and paint match perfectly. Showed up when he said he would, got it done quickly, and cleaned up after himself too. No complaints at all, would definitely hire him again if something else comes up."

"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

Drywall can be installed directly on ceiling joists. In fact, this method is common in many construction projects. Drywall sheets are attached to the joists using screws, ensuring a secure and stable installation. Before attaching the drywall, it's important to mark the joist locations on the ceiling, allowing for accurate screw placement. Proper spacing between screws and careful taping and mudding of joints are crucial to creating a smooth and flawless ceiling surface. If the joists are in good condition and level, installing drywall directly on them is a practical and efficient approach.

In most cases, plaster repair will improve your home’s energy efficiency because a solid barrier of the insulative material helps keep conditioned air inside your home. Major plaster repair jobs like repairing large cracks or crumbling sections of plaster or applying a skim coat might make a noticeable difference in your heating and cooling bills. Not only can plaster repairs improve efficiency, but they can also reduce strain on your HVAC equipment, potentially saving you money on maintenance and repairs.

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.

If your home was built before the 1940s and was not remodeled in the past 50 or so years, you probably have plaster walls. Aside from assuming, there are some practical ways to tell if you have plaster walls, including the following: If you knock on the wall and it feels solid, not hollow, if you can’t insert a thumbtack easily, if there are cracks that look like spiderwebs, or if your home has curved, arched, or swirled walls, doorways, or window openings.

If you have an unfinished basement or attic, you could examine the backs of any finished walls to check, too.

Whether a drywall anchor can be reused depends on its material, type, and the method of removal. Plastic anchors, including expansion and self-drilling types, are generally designed for single use as they tend to break or deform upon removal. Metal anchors, such as toggle bolts, are more durable and may be reusable if they are not damaged during extraction. However, with toggle bolts, the toggle piece can fall into the wall cavity when the bolt is removed, making it difficult to retrieve. If an anchor is damaged during removal, for instance by having its head cut off, it cannot be reused regardless of the material.
