"This guy knows his stuff! Randy is a true drywall finisher with several decades of experience. I had damaged wall and ceiling drywall from a leak that weâ d had. He knew just what to do to make it look good again. He removed the damaged drywall, replaced it with new drywall, surfaced the wall with appropriate texture (orange peel), painted the wall, and went to the trouble to sand down the ceiling texture throughout the whole room, then redid the â stomp patternâ texture for the ceiling in that whole room so that it looks uniform. His price was reasonable and he worked long and hard to do the job right!"

"Nathan was amazing. He painted our very difficult 15’ ceiling. He didn’t tape anything. He did it all free hand. It was like Michelangelo painting the Sistine ceiling.☺️. Nathan is a perfectionist. Will definitely call him when we want the house exterior done."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

There shouldn’t be any gaps between your walls and ceiling. These can be fixed with joint compound but that is only a fix, and it’s much better if your drywall fits correctly in the first place. Sometimes gaps can appear if your foundation shifts significantly but if this is the case, you have a much bigger problem than patching drywall.

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.

Applying plaster to a wall will usually cost between $2 and $10 per square foot for both the material and labor. The cost will vary based on the quality of the plaster you’re using and whether or not prep work is required before the work begins. Wall prep can add up to about 10% to your total costs. Plastering exterior walls can be more expensive in many cases because they are taller and require scaffolding and safety equipment.

If you already have plaster walls and ceilings, adding new plaster costs $2 to $10 per square foot. For an average-sized room, that would come out to $1,200 to $10,000. However, the cost to replace plaster with drywall is higher—running between $720 and $1,250 for a 10-by-8-foot wall or ceiling (not including drywall finishing).

Yes, wainscoting is installed directly over drywall. However, ensure the drywall is in good shape since it will support the wainscoting. If the drywall has issues, such as holes, mold, or mildew, repair them before installing the wainscoting. Alternatively, you can install a plywood substrate before attaching the trim.
