"After submitting my request on Angi, Alan called me within minutes to schedule an appointment to asses my drywall repair needs and give me a quote for my garage. He was able to suggest a good mud/plaster job over my existing drywall instead of new drywall which would save me time and money. He and his team were able to deliver the project on time and did a good job."

"I contacted Osvaldo to repair drywall in my ceiling after water damage, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. From the start, they were professional, responsive, and punctual. They quickly assessed the damage, explained the repair process clearly, and gave me a fair and transparent estimate. The quality of the work was outstanding. The ceiling looks like new—seamless and perfectly blended with the surrounding area.They were meticulous with cleanup too, leaving the space spotless when they finished. It’s clear they take pride in their work and care about customer satisfaction. I highly recommend Osvaldo to anyone in need of drywall repair. I’ll definitely be calling them again for future projects!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can install drywall over plaster, but there are important factors to consider. While it can create a smooth, flat surface, it is often not the best approach. Installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall's thickness, which can cause issues with existing window and door frames that may no longer fit. You might also need to adjust power outlets to keep them accessible. A better, though more expensive, option is to remove the old plaster and lath entirely before installing new drywall. Drywalling directly over plaster seals in the old material, and if any problems arise later, you will need to remove both layers down to the structural beams for repairs. Given the potential complications, this job is best handled by professionals.

It’s less costly to drywall a fireplace than shiplapping it since material costs are higher for shiplap. However, if you’re DIYing the project, shiplap is less expensive since you won’t have to pay for labor. With drywall, getting a smooth finish is difficult unless you’re a pro. Shiplap is ideal for an accent wall or unique space, such as around a fireplace, since it adds texture and gives off a cozy vibe.

Most handy homeowners can tackle removing texture from unpainted walls. Removing texture from painted walls is a bit trickier. Paint acts as a sealant, so you can’t soften the texture with water. Instead, you’ll have to add a layer of drywall compound known as a skim coat. This process is messy and takes some practice.

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.

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.
