"I have hired Luke to work on a 1986 house I recently bought. I needed a handyman that could deal with the issues and complications that come with an older home. He has performed well and professionally.i can see working with him for years to come. He has done so much work that was not listed he made built in undercounter storage cubby with a framed door. He has hung doors. Put up andresized fire doors. He built walls and installed lights. He moved anf onstalled new light switches and outlets. He is installing a new shower in 3 bathrooms and hew exhaust fans He has installed vanity sink in the bathroom and this is just a few of the things. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a honest local small business owner contractor. Someone trustworthy and a person who works for himself and not a big corporation is important to me."

"Gave an estimate one day, there the next. Put plastic down everywhere they went and cleaned everything up before they left. The drywall looks as good as new."

"The gentleman is very nice. He demo'd the drywall in the patio enclosure and cleaned up/hauled debris before leaving the job site. The only reason I gave it a 4 for value because a friend of mind keeps on saying I paid too much for the demo. However, if I would have accepted the lowest bidder, then I would have ended up with an uneven drywall and corky job look. The lowest bidder did not want to unistall and reinstall the 2 ceiling fans in the room. so I believe, I made a good choice."

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.

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. 

Which style of corner bead you choose—whether metal or paper-faced—depends on your preference and if you’re comfortable using metal-cutting tools and a hammer. Metal bead offers superior strength and durability but its installation is slightly more involved. We’d say for most cases, it’s better to use metal bead but if you’re not comfortable working with metal, paper-faced bead will work just fine. 

The short answer is yes, a sagging plaster ceiling is dangerous. Sagging plaster on a wall is something you should fix immediately, but it isn’t a major concern. If the same type of sagging occurs on a ceiling, however, you could be in danger of your ceiling falling in large chunks. When plaster sags, it loses its strength and ability to hold itself up. The bonds that hold it together are strong, though, so if a sagging area falls, it will take large pieces down with it.

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.
