• The best way to remove drywall is not to smash it into tiny pieces, but to take it off in as big of a piece as you can.
• The more straight, plumb, and level your drywall cuts are, the easier it is to cut a new piece in.
• A utility knife is quieter and provides a cleaner cut than an oscillating tool, though it is slower.
• A Makita drywall saw is the best tool if you have a lot of cutting into drywall to do.
• Putting screws into the drywall after removing sections ensures that edges are fully supported.
