"This pro did a beautiful job repairing my wall. He put braces behind the wall, repaired the dry wall, textured, painted, and remounted the towel racks. Towel racks feel stable for the first time in years. He didn’t arrive at the agreed on time, but always let us know that he would be late and by how long. He was flexible and got the job done quickly."

"SGB just finished painting the outside of my home along with the kitchen and two bedrooms. A good friend of mine referred them to me because she was so pleased with his work. There was plenty of detailed work on the outside of my home, and the stucco was in terrible shape. There was also dry rot repair that needed to be done that other contractors didn't even mention during the inspection of the home. When the job was complete, I was amazed. All of his attention to detail is a sure reason to hire SGB Custom Painting. Thank you, Scott, and SGB Custom Painting. This is my reference to whoever reads this review!"

"Ron and his crew did an excellent job extending my bathroom including a new roof and foundation, installing all new plumbing for the bathroom and a waterline for my house. They were always on time, came when they said they would, were easy to work with and worked hard all day. The price very fair. He is very versatile not only in remodeling my now beautiful bathroom but also extending my porch and grating my dirt driveway. If i had a question, he always answered it. He is very innovative and provides high quality workmanship. He is professional, honest and has integrity. The results of his work are way above my expectations. In addition to building, etc., he also fixed my brand new leaking water heater and an outside water leak. i am so happy. He is always willing to help in a timely manner. i would definitely recommend Ron and his crew."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

All plaster walls will crack over time due to normal house settling and expansion and contraction from temperature and moisture changes. Small, thin hairline cracks are generally not serious and are mostly a cosmetic issue. However, larger or more significant cracks can indicate structural problems.

Here's how to tell the difference:

  • Cosmetic Cracks: Cracks that are 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) or thinner are typically cosmetic.

  • Structural Cracks: Cracks wider than 0.5 cm, excessive or deep cracks, multiple cracks in the same area, or cracks that span around corners can signify a structural or foundation issue. Cracks along the joints where walls meet the ceiling also warrant attention.

For cracks wider than 0.5 cm, structural repair is needed. If a crack is 2.5 cm (1 inch) or wider, or if you notice any signs of a structural problem, it is best to contact a plaster repair professional to assess the damage.

You can put drywall mud over paint to even out the surface or entirely resurface it. Sand the surface with 280-grit sandpaper, vacuum the debris and dust with a shop vac, and clean it with a slightly damp cloth. Allow the surface to dry. Apply drywall primer, especially if you’re skim-coating an entire wall. Apply the right type of drywall mud over the surface and smooth it with a trowel. Allow the layer to cure fully, then sand it before applying another layer or painting it.

It is possible to apply plaster on the interior or exterior of your home, but we don’t recommend it. Plaster is easy to apply in theory, but in reality, it can be a challenging material to work with, and it’s difficult to get the finished product to look clean, even, and smooth. Many DIYers end up calling in a professional afterward to touch up the area or even redo it entirely because of mistakes they made in the process. Hiring a plaster pro will cost more, but it’s usually the best option to achieve high-quality results.

You may need to replace drywall because of smoke damage. If the drywall is covered in soot, you may be able to clean it, but it will require a lot of time and effort. You could spend hours cleaning the drywall only to find there is more damage and it needs to be replaced anyway. It’s usually easier and safer to remove the smoke-damaged drywall and replace it.

The two most common drywall thicknesses for ceilings are 1/2-inch and 5/8-inch. For most standard residential applications, 1/2-inch drywall is sufficient and widely used. It provides adequate support and is lighter and easier to handle during installation compared to thicker sheets. However, 5/8-inch drywall is often used for specific cases where additional benefits are needed. It is heavier but provides superior sound dampening and fire resistance. You should consider using 5/8-inch drywall for ceilings in commercial buildings, between a garage and a living space, or above a finished basement to meet building codes or for enhanced soundproofing.
