"We hired James to drywall our dining room and guest bedroom. He is a one man show and guarantees great work! He made sure to ask what our finishing would be (smooth with crown molding) and answered all of the questions we had. Every day he left the project site clean and made sure to protect the rest of our home from dust. We are extremely happy with the results! Looking forward to having him work on more projects as our home renovations continue."

"Sam is a true general contractor, he and his team remodeled dated living room, taking on the stairs, building in a media cabinet, creating a feature wood wall, re texturing the ceiling, repainting the whole room, and installing lighting. Our 1960s open staircase with it is bare metal handrail was turned into a beautiful focal point in the room, complete with a classic wooden handrail and built in storage and media cabinet beneath the stairs. The attention to detail uplifted the project, really one of a kind results, his crew delivered exactly the stairs we had dreamed of! Sams crew, Raf and Cruz are excellent, we wanted a feature wood wall with a precise, geometric look, and the wall looks better than the picture we showed them. Along the way, we changed our minds, added things, and were, in some ways a pain but Sam was always agreeable, willing and professional. The job site was tidy each day, and they were on time. I will hire Sam again and highly recommend him."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Drying alone can take 1 to 4 hours to dry to the touch per plaster layer, but some types of plaster take several hours longer to dry. However, this doesn’t mean the job is done because plaster doesn’t fully harden until it cures, which can take a few days to a couple of weeks. It may take even longer if you’re building a new, pretty thick plaster wall. Allow the plaster to cure before painting it.

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.

You should not leave drywall outside, especially overnight or in a wet, humid climate. Exposure to rain and humidity can damage the drywall, weakening its structural integrity and making it susceptible to mold growth. If you must leave drywall outside during a project, be sure to cover it with a tarp or keep it inside a storage shed to protect it. Even drywall intended for exterior projects requires a protective moisture barrier. For best results, store any extra drywall in a dry area away from the elements.

This depends on how much plaster is applied and in how many layers, but a decent estimate is around 150 square feet. If you are applying only two coats on a small wall, there is a chance you may only need one or two gallons for the entire project. If you are plastering a large living room wall with high ceilings, using one of the more involved techniques–like Scagliola–that requires several coats, expect the project materials costs to add up quickly. 

Walls should be as smooth as possible before applying peel-and-stick wallpaper. Although you technically can apply wallpaper on textured walls, the peel-and-stick variety won’t last long without a clean, smooth surface for the adhesive to stick to. If you have textured walls, consult a pro about removing the textured finish before moving forward with wallpaper.
