"The work was done properly and when some additional jobs were added, Mr Grant went out of his way to get subcontractor's in to fix the added jobs promptly. I was very happy with the results and would recommend Steven Grant Construction to anyone who needed a prompt quote and a properly done job.

"Preston Thompson is untrustworthy, extremely tardy, and unprofessional. Do not waste your money, time, or peace of mind with this individual. Preston BREACHED CONTRACT by starting the project nearly an hour later than what was agreed upon on the contract that HE wrote up. When he finally arrived Preston had no supplies or materials handy. Upon arrival, we paid Preston 50% of the total estimate by check—he left IMMEDIATELY to cash the check, “purchase materials”, and give an estimate to another customer. He returned roughly 3 HOURS LATER with disposable tarp. Also upon returning to our residence, Preston asked if we could pay him by Zelle mobile banking instead of by check because his bank would not give him immediate access to funds cashed by check. We obliged. WE also SUPPLIED the ladder, steamer, scraper, scorer, and the removal solutions that he used over the next 3 hours to remove a mere 2 feet by 4 feet of wallpaper. Our project was then neglected by Preston, who canceled every subsequent work appointment after the first and only day he came to work at our home. There is NO POSSIBLE WAY that our project would’ve been completed anywhere close to the 4 days he had left on the work order. Furthermore, when we expressed our frustrations and requested a cancellation and refund, Preston AGREED to pay back the funds. We even agreed that instead of sending back $1175 (which was the full refund), that Preston could keep $150 as compensation for the work he had done, and he would send back $1025. In fact, Preston said he would pay it back by later that same evening. The next day the money had still not been returned. When asked, Preston’s reason for not sending the money was that he was just “trying to make some funds available from other work” he was doing—which is ridiculous considering that he could not have spent much money on materials or supplies for our project considering all he purchased was disposable tarp. For nearly a month I have been trying to recover the funds we agreed on. Preston has been avoidant."

Drywall installations FAQs

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.
