"I am so lucky I found David!! As a new first time homeowner I was simply overwhelmed with all of the projects we needed to take on both large and small. David has been communicative, considerate, and so helpful throughout the process of meeting, estimating, and getting to work on our list of projects ranging from interior painting, drywall repair, flooring installation, structural improvements, patching screens, installing appliances, and more. I really appreciate how he walks me through processes I'm not familiar with and makes suggestions- so helpful for a new homeowner who is out of her depth! David and his crew got to work quickly, show up on time, and do flawless work with a smile. Prices are very reasonable and estimates are clear with no surprises. We love working with David and his team and he will be our go to for all of our projects in the future!"

"Had a great experience with this company. Brian was very thorough and helpful. The Guys doing the painting were very hardworking and polite. Got the job done fast without cutting corners. Have already recommended them to others. Never thought a professional paint job would make that much of a difference over DYI. I was wrong. The walls in my house look brand new and they are so smooth. Made it look like I had the drywall replaced. It is so clean and perfect."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Plaster provides a durable, soundproof, and moisture-resistant finish compared to drywall.

Many homeowners choose to install tongue and groove over drywall. The great thing about this type of ceiling is that it hides imperfections. If your drywall is a little bit wonky or has some minor damage, the tongue and groove planks should cover it and give it an even appearance. Installation is simplest if you install battens over the existing framing before installing your tongue and groove planks.

If your home was built before the 1940s and was not remodeled in the past 50 or so years, you probably have plaster walls. Aside from assuming, there are some practical ways to tell if you have plaster walls, including the following: If you knock on the wall and it feels solid, not hollow, if you can’t insert a thumbtack easily, if there are cracks that look like spiderwebs, or if your home has curved, arched, or swirled walls, doorways, or window openings.

If you have an unfinished basement or attic, you could examine the backs of any finished walls to check, too.

Yes, you can install drywall over plaster, but there are important factors to consider. While it can create a smooth, flat surface, it is often not the best approach. Installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall's thickness, which can cause issues with existing window and door frames that may no longer fit. You might also need to adjust power outlets to keep them accessible. A better, though more expensive, option is to remove the old plaster and lath entirely before installing new drywall. Drywalling directly over plaster seals in the old material, and if any problems arise later, you will need to remove both layers down to the structural beams for repairs. Given the potential complications, this job is best handled by professionals.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.
