Drywall Installation & Repair
Hanging, taping, skim coats and repairs. Flat walls with finishes that survive raking light.
Drywall is the one trade where everyone can see your mistakes. Every bad seam shows up at sunset when the light rakes across the wall. We hang square, tape tight and sand until the wall reads flat from every angle. Then we check it with a work light anyway.
Half of our drywall work in Lancaster County is repair: water stains, cracked plaster in older homes, holes from plumbing access, and the ceilings that popcorn forgot. We match texture and blend patches so you cannot find them a month later.
Small patch or whole house hang, we treat it the same way. Clean site, sharp lines, dust kept under control with plastic and negative air when the job calls for it.

GOOD QUESTIONS
Questions we hear a lot
Can you match my existing wall texture?
Yes. Most homes here are smooth finish or light orange peel, and both blend well. We spray or hand apply the texture to match, then prime the patch so the paint takes evenly.
My old house has cracked plaster walls. Replace or repair?
If the plaster is still keyed to the lath, repair and skim coating is cheaper and keeps the character. If it is loose across large areas, an overlay with new drywall or a full replacement is more honest. We tap the walls and tell you which one you have.
How soon can walls be painted after drywall work?
Joint compound needs to dry between coats, and the final sanding happens after the last coat cures. On a typical repair you are priming in two to three days. New hangs take about a week of finishing time.
Do you just do drywall, or does it need to be a big project?
We take standalone drywall jobs all the time. A patch visit is a real service, not a favor. It is also how a lot of clients meet us before trusting us with a bathroom.
