At best, damaged drywall is a blemish you might hide behind furniture or a painting. At worst, it's not only an eyesore, but a detriment to health and well-being. Compromised drywall can increase your heating and cooling bills, encourage mold and pest infiltration, and adversely affect everything and everyone inside them. Whether your drywall issues or major or minor, or you just want to start your next interior remodeling project off right, Braendel Services Buffalo has you 100% covered.
What kind of drywall should I use?
Drywall comes in multiple thicknesses, including ½ inch and ¼ inch. It can also come in fire-resistant and mold-resistant varieties. Ultimately, the type of drywall you need depends on your project and what you want from the surface you're applying it to.
Can I use drywall on my ceiling?
Yes! Drywall is commonly used to cover ceilings. In fact, if you're installing drywall on the ceiling as well as the walls, you should install it on the ceiling first and work your way down.
Can I install my own drywall?
Installing drywall does not require specialized tools or advanced carpentry skills, so it's possible to install it yourself. However, as with any home renovation task, it's best left to the professionals.
What do I do if my drywall gets wet?
Drywall is highly absorbent, which can pose a serious issue if it becomes wet. If it's only a small amount of water, you can blot it with a towel and use a small fan to dry it. If it becomes heavily soaked, however, you'll almost definitely need to replace it. The same is true if you find mold growing in the drywall — even a small amount can prove hazardous to your health.
I highly recommend Braendel Painting for any painting job you need to have done! They responded within a day of my placing a call for a quote. Both Jeff and Dan are knowledgeable and confident in what they do. The colors they suggested for the outside of my business were perfect! My bakery looks like a new building. Fred and Tim and Spencer worked for 2 days power washing, scraping, filling in the many holes before expertly painting my building.Thank you, guys!
We bought our home 18 years ago and I can honestly say that it has never looked better! We have a Tudor style home with cedar siding and stucco. They were very thorough. Our home was a few years over due for a new paint job and they made sure it received the extra care it needed. The people were so responsive from start to finish. The crew was friendly & professional. They finished in the time that they said it would take and everything was completely cleaned up when they left. I am just thrilled with the outcome.
Jeff and Dan were easy to work with and the only contractor that understand my budget constraints and worked with me. They completed several projects for me in 2019. I wish I found them first! I initially contacted Braendel for interior & exterior painting, then expanded to several projects. All the workers were pleasant and helpful. Of the 10 + contractors I've hired for extensive work, he & 1 other are the only ones that started and finished when they said they would. Also, on time each day. Note - The only issue is the pricing for painting was higher than anyone else but would not deter me hiring.
I just have to tell you all at Braendel Painting & Services that I cannot believe my house could look so good. I just had the best compliment from people working on my furnace that my house looks beautiful! The painting over the brick is exactly what I needed. Jose, Hassan and Alex were a pleasure to work with. The heat was unbearable and they were here early in the am every day. You guys are amazing. Thank you to all! Job well done!
We had our bathroom remodeled by Braendel and are very pleased with the job they did. Their workers are highly skilled and quite personable.
