New board where the old board has to go

Drywall installation is the step beyond patching: when the board is soaked, crumbling or opened up for remediation, the damaged sheets come out and new gypsum goes in. One of our Thumbtack customers needed exactly this — partial walls replaced after water damage and remediation, then repaired and painted.

We hang new board to the existing framing, match its thickness to the wall around it, and tape and finish the seams in three coats so the new section reads as one flat wall with the old. [ASK PAVLO] whether he takes on full rooms or only partial walls and sections.

When patching is not enough

Gypsum board does not recover from soaking. Once wet through, it loses strength, sags, and can grow mold on the paper facing. Patches over that kind of damage fail; the right fix is to remove the board back to clean framing and hang new.

The same goes for walls opened for plumbing work or remediation. Rather than a patchwork of small pieces, we square the opening to the studs and install full-height pieces where possible, which gives fewer seams to finish and a flatter wall.

Matching an old wall

Older walls can be thicker or thinner than today’s standard board. We shim or select board so the new section sits flush with the old.

Bathrooms and basements

Wet areas get moisture-resistant board. [ASK PAVLO] which areas he prefers cement board for.

How long does drywall installation take?

Hanging the board is usually quick; finishing takes the time. Expect a hanging and first-coat day, then one or two short visits for the following coats, sanding and primer. The exact plan comes with the price.

How it works

Measured before we start

1. Send photos

Two or three photos of the wall, door or floor and a line about what you want done. A tape measure in the shot helps.

2. Get the price

Pavlo texts you a clear price and the earliest date he can come. If something can only be judged in person, he says so up front.

3. Fixed and cleaned up

Neat work at the agreed time, the room left swept. Pay by cash, check or Zelle when it is done.

Pavol is proactive in communication and came quickly to check our leaking ceiling. He helped to figure out the issue and fixed the drywall patch. would recommend him as a reliable handyman.

Pavlo responded immediately and offered to come give an estimate within the first few days. He started the job a few days later. We needed partial walls replaced, wall repairs and painting. We had water damage and needed the walls repaired after remediation. He did a flawless job and even put our picture hangers back after painting. He was neat, on time and showed up when expected. The walls look great and I'm glad we found someone who offered a great price, did the work in a timely manner and made the room look great!
