"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."

"Alec is top-notch. Very good communication, and competent work. I was eager to complete the drywall project in 3 days, and he delivered. Each day, he would call me with updates. My condo tenant was grateful that I had found him. Another job is already scheduled for next week!"

"I highly recommend Richard and System 1 Interiors. I had damage to my ceiling and walls from rain, and Richard and his crew did an excellent job repairing everything and making it look like nothing ever happened. Richard was very professional from start to finish, and his workers were professional, respectful, and did great-quality work. The communication throughout the entire process was excellent, and everything was completed exactly within the timeframe we discussed with no delays. I really appreciated how smoothly the entire job went and the attention to detail they put into the repairs, texture, and paint. The finished ceiling and walls look great. It’s hard to tell there was ever any damage. Great workmanship, great communication, and a professional crew. I would definitely recommend Richard and System 1 Interiors and would use them again for future work."

"We just recently had gone through another nightmare experience with another shady contractor and numerous shenanigans involving substandard work, excuses, and many lies. The contractor that we fired left our remodeling job unfinished and with several major corrections to be made to the work that they did do. Frustrated and fed up, we found Ben and Total Construction Remodel. Ben came in and immediately assessed the finish work that needed to be done and the work that needed to be fixed and gave us a fair quote. From the day that Ben, his son and their crew first showed up to the day that they finished, they were professional, efficient, courteous and never made any excuses. They showed up on time every day and handled every single one of our concerns perfectly. They also went to the trouble of covering everything properly and cleaning everything every single day that they were here. The contractor before left an absolute dusty mess every day and left a great deal of the work unfinished. Ben’s work was finished beautifully and on time and we were provided with receipts for everything. We also got Ben’s personal assurance that if anything needed to be fixed, he would handle it right away. We love our new living room and can’t wait to have guests in it one day. Thank you, Ben for making good on every single promise, doing excellent work and making us feel comfortable about doing business with you. We strongly recommend Ben, his son and Total Construction Remodel for any job you may have and he will definitely be the one that we call For all of our future remodeling needs."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

You can skim coat plaster, but it’s better to repair the plaster itself. A skim coat is a thin coat of drywall joint compound spread over the surface of a wall. The result is a flat finish that looks pleasing, but part of the appeal of plaster is its imperfections and aesthetic. Skim coating is best when limited to drywall applications.

Both plaster and drywall are durable wall finishes, but they differ significantly in installation, cost, performance, and aesthetics.

Installation & Cost: Drywall installation is faster and more affordable, typically costing $1.50 to $3 per square foot. It uses premade sheets, making it a more accessible DIY project. Plastering is a labor-intensive craft that requires specialized skills, pushing costs to $2 to $10 per square foot. It involves applying a wet paste over a lath framework.

Durability & Performance: Plaster is generally more durable, longer-lasting, and provides superior soundproofing. It is also a better insulator, which can help reduce energy costs. Drywall is easier to remove for future renovations.

Aesthetics: Drywall provides a smooth, uniform surface ready for paint or texture. Plaster offers a high-end, naturally textured look that can hide imperfections and is often preferred for achieving a classic or historic aesthetic.

Which is better? The choice depends on your priorities. Drywall is ideal for those prioritizing a lower upfront cost, faster installation, and DIY potential. Plaster is the better option for a higher-end project where durability, soundproofing, and a unique, premium finish are more important than the initial cost.

When choosing materials for finishing basement walls, consider factors such as moisture resistance, durability, and fire resistance. Opt for materials specifically designed for basement environments, like moisture-resistant drywall or cement board. Insulation with vapor barriers can help regulate temperature and prevent condensation. Consider using mold-resistant paints or coatings. 

Research and consult with experts to select materials that are suitable for your specific basement conditions and intended use. Prioritize quality and compatibility to achieve long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing results.

Knowing what causes drywall damage can help stop it before it starts. Here are some of the most common causes of drywall damage: 

  • Water damage from roof leaks or leaky pipes. 

  • Small holes caused by doorknobs, minor accidents, and rodent infestations. 

  • Wall dents stemming from moving furniture and minor accidents. 

  • Wall cracks that form from a settling foundation or seismic activity. 

  • Nail pops from nails and screws in the walls. 

  • Large holes that are caused by accidents with heavy objects, children and pets, or sporting equipment.

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.
