"You don't get one person you 2 ( wife) and they work as a team. That from my eyes worked well together. They have other employees but Jeff and Kelly did my work and did a very good job. I removed half of the wood paneling from my walls in the family room and it was not primed just drywall and nails showing thus Jeff was called. Mud and tape was needed to cover the nails and prep the walls to get primed.. it took 3 days to finish and mudding and taping is a process ( drying) time. I like the work they did and they were nice people both of them. I would have them do other work for me I have their card. Have them come in get a fair and reasonable estimate you will hire them."

Everyday they came they asked “Any questions or concerns” They really care. On top of that. The work they did was amazing. They worked with me and let me demo to save a little. But the edges are super clean re designed a closet for us. They even added a little insulation to the walls. Just great work. I have referred them to quite a few people already. Thank you, Clay, and Kristien."

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.
