"I recently purchased a new home, and like many older houses, it needed a lot of TLC. Thankfully, I found Brad and Dependable Drywall and Paint. From the moment I met Brad, I knew I was in good hands. He's not just a contractor; he's a genuine, friendly, and incredibly respectful professional who goes above and beyond. Brad's work was truly outstanding. He expertly prepped and painted the entire interior of my house, transforming it from a dated space into a bright and welcoming home. The attention to detail was impeccable, and the finish is flawless. But Brad didn't stop there. He's a true multi-talented individual. He also tackled a range of other essential tasks, including: • Plumbing Repairs: He expertly replaced my kitchen sink and shower head, and efficiently fixed a leak in my downstairs bathroom sink. Problems that would have taken me days to resolve, he handled with speed and professionalism. • Security Upgrades: He changed all the door locks, providing me with peace of mind and enhanced security. What truly sets Brad apart is his personality. He's not only amazing at what he does but also incredibly funny and easy to talk to. He made the entire renovation process enjoyable and stress-free. He kept me informed every step of the way, and his communication was excellent. Brad's work is a testament to his dedication and skill. He treats your home as if it were his own, and his commitment to customer satisfaction is evident in everything he does. If you're looking for a reliable, skilled, and personable contractor, look no further than Brad and Dependable Drywall and Paint. You won't be disappointed. He has earned my highest recommendation. Thank you, Brad, for making my house a home!"

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.
