"Marty communicated about the job start to finish, he checked the work and made sure he let me know if anything changes. The drywall is what I was looking for simple hand troweled finish to match the era of my apartments. Would recommend."

"Juan Ernesto and his team were class acts. They did an excellent job replacing the drywall, texturing the walls, and painting in my daughter's nursery, our guest bedroom, and our entire garage. They went above and beyond to make sure my daughter's nursery was a priority and went to great lengths to ensure everything was exactly what we wanted. We are so pleased with the finished product -- they do great work. Furthermore, their communication was professional and straight forward, and their prices were fair and had no hidden fees. My husband and I will recommend them to family and friends and we would be happy to do business with them again."

"They were amazing from start to finish. They kept me up to date. Showed up when they said. Got the work not only quickly, but went above and beyond what was expected. They were hired to do ceiling. But, he noticed cracks in my wall and repaired those as well. And did not charge extra. I will definitely use them in the future. And will be referring them as well."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

While it’s most common to sand plaster dry, it is possible to wet-sand plaster, too. Doing so can reduce the amount of plaster dust released into the air and make it easier to work in smaller, more delicate areas (such as around wall trim). However, some people find that wet sanding leads to more imperfections, which is why larger walls are more often dry sanded to ensure an even finish.

You can repair plaster ceilings yourself after the cause of the ceiling damage has been addressed. However, the repair can easily take 5 hours and can be slightly challenging for those without previous experience. If you do decide to flex your DIY muscle, have a helper to help hold the ladder and pass you the tools for safety purposes.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.

Technically speaking, you can use drywall primer over plasters. However, oil-based primers work the most effectively on wall plasters. Meanwhile, water-based primers work just as well with drywalls. Nowadays, there are also universal primers suitable for drywall and plaster. Overall, you will be fine as long as you are using a trustworthy brand.
