Drywall projects vary based on a few main factors. The total square footage, the height of your ceilings, and the level of finish required—like smooth wall versus textured—are the biggest drivers. If your walls have significant water damage or require mold remediation, that adds complexity. Accessibility also matters; tight corners or areas requiring scaffolding take more time than open rooms.

You need this service if you are building an addition, converting an attic, or renovating an old room.

A PVA (Polyvinyl Acetate) primer is generally recommended for new drywall. It effectively seals the porous paper surface, ensuring that paint adheres evenly and preventing the drywall from absorbing too much paint. This leads to a more consistent finish and reduces the amount of paint needed. For repaired areas, a good quality drywall primer is essential to match the texture and absorbency of the surrounding surface.
Greenboard drywall is a type of moisture-resistant drywall that features a green paper facing, making it suitable for use in areas with higher humidity, such as bathrooms, laundry rooms, and kitchens. The paper is treated to resist moisture and inhibit the growth of mold and mildew. It's a cost-effective option for areas where standard drywall might not hold up as well.

Yes, soundproof drywall is an option and is designed to reduce noise transmission between rooms. These panels often contain a damping compound or are made with denser materials to absorb sound. They are particularly useful for home theaters, bedrooms, or offices where noise reduction is a priority. The effectiveness depends on the specific product and installation method.
While screws are more commonly used for hanging drywall today due to their superior holding power and reduced risk of popping, nails were historically used. If nails are used, they are typically ring-shank drywall nails, which have rings on the shank to provide better grip. However, screws are generally preferred for a more secure and lasting installation, preventing future issues like nail pops.
Repairing a drywall hole depends on its size. Small holes can be filled with spackle or joint compound. For larger holes, a patch kit with a mesh or metal backing is often used, followed by multiple layers of joint compound. Very large holes require cutting out the damaged section and installing a new piece of drywall, which is then taped and mudded to match the surrounding surface.
Drywall finishes range from smooth Level 5, which provides a perfectly uniform surface for paint, to various textures like orange peel, knockdown, or popcorn. The chosen finish impacts the wall's aesthetic and can help conceal minor imperfections. Smooth finishes are ideal for high-gloss paints, while textures can add depth and character to a room. Professionals can achieve various looks.
