Customers say: True professional

"Friendly working owner Robert Dunn arrived at our agreed date and time. He expertly fixed both areas, leaving them ready for touch-up painting. He advised me to install a door stop behind the garage access door to prevent future damage to the wall. Shortly after Mr. Dunn had finished the job and before I had a chance to install a door stop, I accidently dented the repaired wall with the door handle when opening the garage access door.. I immediately informed Mr. Dunn of the mishap and asked if he would be willing to come back and fix the dent at his convenience at no additional charge. Mr, Dunn went the extra mile by graciously returning at a second agreed date and time. He fixed the dent perfectly and even installed the door stop I had purchased. PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE with Dunn Drywall: I had previously hired Dunn Drywall several years ago to repair a large area of ceiling of my master bedroom which had caved in during a severe rain storm. I was very grateful and satisfied with his repair, done for a very reasonable price, especially since my home insurance company had denied coverage."

"Javier's work is first class. Originally, the project scope was to fix a patch of drywall as cleanup from a plumbing repair. While he was here, I asked if he would be able to also wall off a double door opening between my master bedroom and office, and the results are fantastic. He was able to demo, hang the drywall and match the texture of the existing walls. Javier was responsive, friendly, professional, and helped provide options and solutions for the different things that popped up. f I have any future drywall work, I'll definitely be giving him a call."

"The quality of drywall and texturing work was excellent and the price was very reasonable. I called on a Friday afternoon and the work was performed the following Monday, just three days later, even though it was on a holiday (Memorial Day)! 1st Choice Drywall, Inc. will be my first choice for any future drywall needs.

"If you're looking for a top-notch drywall contractor in Escondido, look no further than Ricardo Ramirez Santana. This guy's the real deal. From the moment he stepped into my office, I could tell I was in good hands. I called him up to replace the old plaster walls in my office, and right away, he was responsive. He got me a fair, honest estimate, and explained everything in a way that made me feel comfortable—no gimmicks, no pushy sales tactics. Just straight talk. Scheduling was a breeze, and when the day came to get the job done, you better believe he was there on time, ready to work. I’m a local real estate broker and I've seen a lot of contractors in my day, but Ricardo and his crew, they’re something special. The work? Flawless. I’m talking about smooth, even seams here. And the finish? Perfect. Thankfully, he didn’t cut corners. Every detail was taken care of. And when it was all done, they cleaned up like they'd never even been there."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

To hide drywall edges, you need to properly apply drywall tape and multiple layers of joint compound. These materials hide the seams between drywall sheets and fill the holes from drywall screws, leaving behind a smooth, flat finish to paint over. Apply joint compound smoothly, and finish the job by sanding the walls to make sure you fully hide drywall edges and other imperfections.

Whether Venetian plaster increases your home's value often depends on the buyer's preference. As a purely aesthetic upgrade, it doesn't add structural value in the same way a kitchen or bathroom remodel might. However, its beautiful and attractive appearance can make a home more appealing to potential buyers, possibly leading to more interest, higher offers, and increased competition when you sell.

The tool you use to sand plaster will depend on the size of the project. If you’re just working on a small section of your wall to get rid of an uneven spot on the surface, hand-sanding might work. However, for larger projects, a drywall sander can make a huge difference when it comes to both time and elbow grease—and an orbital sander can help for detailed areas such as around ceiling fans.

Yes, it matters which side of drywall you use. One side is smooth, and the other is rough. The smooth side should be facing outward, toward the room, while the rough side should be hidden and facing the studs and framing of the house. The smooth side will be easier to apply tape, joint compound, and, later, paint to.

Yes, you can mount a TV on plaster walls—as long as you attach it to the studs. Alternatively, you can use toggle bolts, molly bolts, or another type of hardware that’s strong enough to support a TV. 

If you aren’t comfortable with this type of project, you can hire a pro. The cost of mounting a TV to a plaster wall ranges from $25 to $600 (or more), depending on the TV’s weight, size, and other factors.
