We’re Still Adding Drywall Contractor Pros in Manhattan.

The job usually has stages: hanging the boards, taping the joints, applying compound in coats, sanding, and sometimes texture and primer. Ask which stages are in the quote, and whether painting is included.

Small holes and cracks are usually quick fixes. Water damage is different, because the cause must be found and the area dried first. Ask the pro whether they have checked for moisture or mould before closing up the wall.

Finish levels describe how smooth the surface is before paint. A smoother finish takes more coats and sanding. Ask the contractor what finish they are quoting for your walls and ceilings, and whether lighting or a glossy paint will show flaws.

It depends on the state, and sometimes the city or the size of the job. Ask whether any licence or permit applies and check the number with the licensing board. On Pros Around, Licence verified means we matched the number to the board's record on the date shown.

Ask the pro first, because it depends on the job. Common steps are moving furniture out, covering floors, and agreeing on where dust and tools will be. Ask how they will contain dust and who removes the waste.

The price depends on the size and difficulty of the job. Some pros publish a starting price on their listing. Ask two or three for a written quote that says what is included, and compare the scope as well as the price.

Only customers who contacted a pro through Pros Around can review them, using a link that works once. Pros can reply but cannot delete a review, and reviews are never sold. An admin hides a review only if it breaks our rules, and the reason is recorded.

By the plan a pro has chosen, then a Featured badge, then review quality. A higher plan can place a pro higher; between pros on the same plan, reviews decide. Anything paid for is labelled.
