"I have a driveway that's approximately 1/10 mile long and a parking area approximately 40' X 80' covered with 3/8" gravel which is very difficult to plow, complicated by the fact that some spots have to be back dragged preparatory to the snow being moved out of the path of traffic. I used to do it myself with an ATV and a 4' blade and it would take me about 2 hours, usually at an inopportune time and in inhospitable weather. When I was done, it looked like the snowy equivalent of a putting green, but at my age, I'm very willing to sacrifice fine detail for having someone else do it while I sit inside doing paid work. Dustin is personable, bright, attentive to detail, highly skilled and has an understanding of finesse. So far, he has only plowed once for me and did a better job than my last three contractors. As far as I'm concerned, he has a job with us for the next twenty years and I'm thinking of hiring him for some drywall work. I set very high standards in my work and expect equivalent quality from people I hire. My expectations have been met and exceeded. A+++++"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Although they have similar applications, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Their primary differences lie in their composition, consistency, and ideal use cases.

Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it thicker than joint compound. It dries quickly and is easy to sand, which makes it ideal for small wall repair projects like filling nail holes or patching minor damage.

Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum. It is primarily used for large-scale projects, such as taping and finishing the seams on newly installed drywall. It tends to shrink more than spackle and can be more difficult to spread.

While both products can be used to fill small depressions and cracks, spackle cannot replace joint compound for taping and mudding new drywall. Conversely, you can often use joint compound for small patching jobs typically done with spackle.

If you already have plaster walls and ceilings, adding new plaster costs $2 to $10 per square foot. For an average-sized room, that would come out to $1,200 to $10,000. However, the cost to replace plaster with drywall is higher—running between $720 and $1,250 for a 10-by-8-foot wall or ceiling (not including drywall finishing).

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.

Applying plaster to a wall will usually cost between $2 and $10 per square foot for both the material and labor. The cost will vary based on the quality of the plaster you’re using and whether or not prep work is required before the work begins. Wall prep can add up to about 10% to your total costs. Plastering exterior walls can be more expensive in many cases because they are taller and require scaffolding and safety equipment.

The tool you use to sand plaster will depend on the size of the project. If you’re just working on a small section of your wall to get rid of an uneven spot on the surface, hand-sanding might work. However, for larger projects, a drywall sander can make a huge difference when it comes to both time and elbow grease—and an orbital sander can help for detailed areas such as around ceiling fans.
