"I am sure that these guys are able to do drywall work well. Especially where making a mess does not matter such as in new home construction. My experience on my popcorn ceiling removal project was not good. The guys did not know how to scrape a popcorn ceiling so I sent them a video. They also did not know how to paint. They made a very large mess and I had to clean up after them. Experience matters. In Spanish, because they didn’t speak English well. Estoy seguro de que estos tipos son capaces de hacer bien el trabajo de paneles de yeso. Especialmente cuando hacer un desastre no importa, como en la construcción de casas nuevas. Mi experiencia en mi proyecto de eliminación del techo de palomitas de maíz no fue buena. Los chicos no sabían cómo raspar un techo de palomitas de maíz, así que les envié un vídeo. Tampoco sabían pintar. Hicieron un desastre muy grande y tuve que limpiar después de ellos. La experiencia importa."

While it might be tempting to tackle drywall installation yourself, it's a challenging job best left to the pros. Drywall panels are heavy—each one weighs between 50 and 70 pounds—and handling them safely usually requires at least two people. Professional installers have the experience and equipment to align and secure the panels properly, ensuring a smooth, long-lasting finish that meets all code requirements.
Drywall and plaster are two different materials used for walls and ceilings, each with its own advantages. Drywall consists of manufactured panels that can be installed quickly and offer good insulation. It's generally more cost-effective and is great for straight walls and ceilings.
Plaster is applied in layers over a supportive framework called lath. While it requires more labor, plaster provides a unique, smooth finish that's ideal for curved surfaces and decorative details. Your choice between drywall and plaster will depend on your desired look, durability needs, and budget.
Lightweight drywall panels are about 25% lighter than standard ones, making them easier to handle during installation. This can be helpful if you're doing a DIY project or working in tight spaces. However, they might not offer the same level of durability, fire resistance, or soundproofing as regular drywall. If you're looking for superior protection and a finish that lasts, standard drywall may be the better option for your walls and ceilings.
Professionally installed drywall lasts between 40 and 60 years. Drywall longevity depends on installation quality, maintenance practices, and environmental conditions. High-quality work combined with proper care ensures that drywall performs reliably for decades. Factors such as moisture, fire exposure, and physical damage can affect its lifespan, so regular inspections and timely repairs are essential for extending durability.
You don't need a permit to replace drywall if you're just swapping out old panels without making any structural changes. If you're keeping the wall positions the same and not moving any electrical or plumbing, you can go ahead without a permit. However, if your project involves adding or removing walls or altering the home's infrastructure, you'll likely need to get a permit, which can add $50 to $150 to your costs. It's always a good idea to check with your local building department to make sure you're following the rules.
