Q: What factors affect plaster installation costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on labor, material quality, wall preparation, and finishing requirements.</p></div>

Q: Should you skim coat plaster?

• <div><p>You can skim coat plaster, but it&rsquo;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. </p></div>

Q: Is it normal for drywall seams to crack?

• <div><p>Yes, small, superficial cracks are normal as homes settle. Older homes have a higher chance of showing signs of settling through hairline cracks from temperature changes, moisture changes, and soil shifting. However, larger cracks, or discolored cracks from water damage, may signify a bigger problem that requires reparations and preventative measures. </p></div>

Q: How do I know if my ceiling is plaster or drywall?

• <div><p>The age of your home can clue you in to whether you have <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-tell-drywall-vs-plaster.htm">plaster or drywall ceilings</a>. Homes built after the &lsquo;70s are more likely to have drywall ceilings and walls, while older homes have plaster. You can also do the pushpin test: A pushpin will go into drywall, whereas it&rsquo;s much harder to push one into a plaster wall. If you&rsquo;re still unsure, ask a drywall professional to let you know which type of ceilings and walls you have. </p></div>

"We recently had Mega Power Electric Inc install a solar system and panels. The President and provided excellent communication all the way through the process. He even met with us after installation to explain the almost incomprehensible PG&E bill. Although not the least expensive bid, his was competitive and I felt he was as interested in educating me about solar and the various types of panels and inverter systems as he was in selling a system. He demonstrated how the array of panels would meet our energy needs and as opposed to some of the other companies, wasn't selling us more than we needed. We are very satisfied with our solar system and I highly recommended Mega Power Electric Inc."
