Roy W. says, ""Let me tell you about JeffShell Painting - they really caught me off guard, in a good way! When Jeff and Shelly pulled up in their beat-up car, I was kinda iffy. But boy, am I glad I didn't judge too quick. These two are legit. Jeff's a vet, and they run this family gig with real heart. I got them to build me a fence from the ground up, and damn, they nailed it! Jeff's got some mad skills with construction. He put that fence together like he'd been doing it his whole life. Then Shelly swooped in with her paint brush and made it look slick as hell. Now, I gotta be straight with you - being married and working together, they had their spats. But here's the thing: they always sorted it out and kept the job rolling. It was pretty funny watching them go back and forth, then figure stuff out together. This fence they built and painted? It turned out way better than I thought it would. Looks like something from one of those fancy home shows, but without emptying my wallet. What really got me was their backstory. These two risked it all - seriously, everything - to get this business going. That kind of guts really comes through in how they work. So don't let that junker they drive fool you. Jeff and Shelly might not look like your average contractors, but they're freaking awesome at what they do. They actually give a damn about their customers, you can tell. They even fixed up a couple things around the house for free, just 'cause. If you need any building or painting done, give these guys a shot. Yeah, you might see some husband-wife bickering, but at the end of the day, they get their shit together and the work is top-notch. Take my word for it, you won't be sorry you hired them.""See more

What tools do you need to repair drywall?

To repair drywall, you need up to several tools and materials. For example, you may need a drill to insert drywall screws and boreholes. A drywall saw or utility knife is perfect for cutting and shaping drywall, and don’t forget your tape measure and pencil. Drywall and taping knives are also essential. 

For materials, you’ll likely need construction adhesive, drywall tape, drywall screws, masking tape and joint compound. 

If you don’t have these tools — and you don’t want to spend money on them — contact a drywall repair professional instead of doing it yourself.

How do I find a good drywall contractor?

The best way to find a good drywall contractor is by searching for the top-rated contractors near you on Thumbtack. View their ratings, and read their reviews to see how they did on past drywall projects. Pay attention to the photos uploaded by the customers and contractors, so you can analyze their quality of work. 

After you found a few contractors you like, ask them for price quotes. For more tips on how to hire contractors, read our in-depth guide.

Who do I hire to install or repair drywall?

A general contractor, handyman or a drywall contractor (or company) can usually install and repair drywall. It’s recommended that you call one of these types of pros when your drywall needs to be repaired, such as after a plumber or electrician has completed their work. 

Look up local pros online and compare their profiles, paying extra attention to their ratings, reviews, experience and list of services. Contact three to five pros to get cost estimates for your project.

Do drywall contractors need a license?

Pros may need to obtain a license to fix and install drywall. It’s always worth checking with your local government about whether a drywall company or contractor has to be licensed before they work on your project.

Do drywall contractors do insulation?

A drywall contractor focuses on drywall. If you want to install insulation (or upgrade your existing installation), you should hire an insulation contractor. It's possible that your drywall contractor may be able to offer basic insulation services, but for more advanced insulation installation (such as spray foam), go with a professional who specializes in this.
