"We own a 2-story geodesic dome and it had developed a few cracks along the tape seams on some of the ceiling panels. Jose and Rudy did a fantastic job in repairing these. A pair of the cracks could only be reached by setting up scaffolding, which they did during the first day. Jose noticed that some of the cracking had been caused by drywall panels that had been nailed in place dropping down somewhat over 40 years. He corrected that by reanchoring with screws and then applied setting compound, tape and orange peel surface texture that could handle the slight angles of the geodesic ceiling. Jose and Rudy then did a great job of taking down the scaffolding and the protective sheeting and completely cleaning up the work area. On the second day, Jose came back and finished the project by applying primer and two coats of paint to the repaired ceiling areas. Everything matched perfectly and we are very happy with the results."

"Great company to work with. Excellent knowledge of materials and applications. Skilled labor that will give you a beautiful end result. Always on time(earlier than the arrived time). They take there time to set up plastic and ram board to protect all the finish surfaces in the house. You can find a cheaper guy buy you’ll pay more to get Mr Guerras Lathing and Plastering to fix the other guys work!!!! Highly recommend Guerras Lathing and Plastering for all small or big projects. Just awesome work will be booking him for my other three projects!!!"

"Alex was professional and did an excellent job. He was timely and showed great skill within his drywall finish work. I was in a bind as I needed someone immediately to remove the old, so my AC installer could get a split system into my attic, Alex showed up to give a quote and actually did the removal portion of the job that same day. When I called him to schedule when he would return, he responded immediately and showed up when promised. Like I said, I am extremely happy with his work. Thank you Alex"

"Overall the project went smoothly, the vendor was very receptive to change orders.  Works with a small crew which took the project over a month to complete from baseboard to ceiling. Multiple walks were performed to address all remaining punchlist items. Overall it was a good experience with this vendor, be make communication is clear and concise of what the job fully entails.  "

Drywall questions, answered by experts

You can usually tell if you have plaster or drywall by touch (plaster is harder, colder, and smoother than drywall) or by tapping on it (drywall sounds hollow, plaster does not). If you still cannot tell, peek under an outlet cover and check the cut edges. The rough edges show the composition of the wall. You will see either drywall (two paper sheets sandwiching gypsum material) or only plaster material (no paper sheets).

Regularly in areas prone to moisture or high traffic to catch issues early.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

When doing a DIY paint job, it can be tricky to achieve the perfect, straight line between your wall and ceiling. There are several methods, including lining it with painter’s tape and using the “cut in” brush tactic. Some homeowners choose to apply a thin line of caulk to the wall-ceiling seam to create the appearance of a perfect line.

You should wait at least 24 hours for drywall mud to dry before sanding or applying another coat. However, the exact drying time depends on several factors, including the thickness of the application, room temperature, humidity, and the type of compound used. Thicker layers, or projects in high humidity, may require 48 hours or more. Lightweight compounds tend to dry faster than heavier, all-purpose ones. You'll know the mud is ready when it feels completely dry and firm to the touch and has changed to a consistent light color. Sanding too early can cause smudging or gouges, so patience is essential for a smooth finish.
