"Needed some miscellaneous fixes done around the house. Was not looking for a big job or a hard sell, just someone competent and experienced to come in, do the repairs, and go. Easy. I found Total Construction online and they had good reviews so I gave a call. Ben answered, I described my problem areas and he was able to stop by the same day to assess. After doing a thorough walkthrough Ben gave me a quote and we discussed when his guys could start (it was quick, early the following week) and how long it would take. Everything came together exactly as it was supposed to. Ben and his guys (Armando and Andres) showed up on time and had everything done in a day and a half as described. I watched them and checked their work at every stage and was able to make sure everything was done to my satisfaction. Ben checked in regularly. High praise for the work and promises kept. Would definitely recommend."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

A local drywall contractor can texture your drywall for you. Drywall contractors are a better choice than general handy people because the contractors have a lot of experience working with drywall mud. The process is somewhat of an art thanks to the complexity of working with the mud, so call in a drywall pro who knows what they’re doing.

The cost to texture drywall depends on whether you want to do the work yourself or hire a professional. The cost of the drywall mud is far lower than labor costs for applying it. The labor cost to spray drywall compound onto a wall is between $0.80 and $1.50 per square foot, while you’ll pay between $1.50 and $2 per square foot for the labor to apply the texture by hand.

You can paint over plaster, but repair any damage to the plaster first, or the paint will crack and bubble. You should also prepare the surface of the plaster to accept paint, which gives your paint job the best chance of looking good and lasting a long time. Before applying the color you want, apply a coat or two of primer. Additionally, use latex paint, and choose a latex paint with a satin finish for areas with dampness, like bathrooms.

You can technically just paint over hairline cracks in plaster since these cracks are often harmless, but this will mostly be a waste of paint. Paint will only hide the hairline crack for a few months before it shows up again. The best solution is to repair the crack with flexible filler or joint compound before repainting.

Popular wall textures include orange peel, knockdown, spray sand, and smooth finishes. Orange peel and knockdown are particularly common choices for drywall as they are simple and cost-effective. Orange peel texture has a lightly bumpy surface resembling the skin of an orange, while knockdown (sometimes called knockout) looks like a stucco finish with flattened high spots. In contrast, popcorn texture has fallen out of fashion, partly due to its past association with asbestos and a shift toward more restrained interior design styles.
