"Daniel did an outstanding job. He completed all parts of the job in an orderly and systemic manner. The repaired damage looks like it never happened. After completion, the entire work area was spotless. I would definitely use Daniel again."

"We hired 614 Drywall for a rather large drywall project as part of our whole house remodel. We had ~2500 sq ft of walls & ceilings skim-coated to remove the existing texture, some new drywall hung, some corner bead and J-bead installed, and a few patches performed. First of all, I must say that the customer service was fantastic. Emilio was very communicative, polite, respectful, and empathetic. Most importantly, he was quick to address the issues that cropped up and put me at ease. He very much wanted me to be completely satisfied with the work, and there was quite a bit of work to be done. I will also share that I can sometimes be a difficult person to please. Not once did Emilio or his crew act unprofessionally or complain. For these reasons, I give them 5 stars for customer service and for 5 stars for value. So although I am not giving 5 stars across the board, please understand that I'm a perfectionist and sometimes too critical! With respect to the work quality, I give 4 stars as there were a few minor issues worth noting. This rating is partly because it was up to me to find the issues in quality and point them out for repair, which is time consuming and kept me from working on other jobs. Ideally it would be the project manager that would do that rather than the customer. There were a few tape joints that needed to be redone multiple times as the cracks kept re-appearing. It wasn't until some reinforcement and hot mud were used that the cracks stopped. There were also some areas where the skim coat was not applied or not applied thick enough to cover the old texture completely. But thankfully not in a highly visible area. We requested a 'Level 5' finish on our walls and ceilings to go for a modern look, which turned out to be very hard and time consuming to achieve in a 1960's home with existing drywall and texture. While smooth, the surfaces are not technically of 'Level 5' quality if you inspect closely with a light. In reality, my expectations should've probably been adjusted by the project manager upfront now knowing after the fact that a 'Level 5' finish is hard/impossible to do in an old home with existing drywall. Regardless, in the end I am very happy with the result and would definitely look to hire this company again in the future. If you are on the fence, know that you won't regret hiring this company!"

"Eduardo is a skilled craftsman for drywall repair and texture! He is very respectful of your property. Before he took one step into our house he started rolling and taping paper down on the hardwood floors. Carpets, walls and windows were all protected from the texturing spray. He closed up 4 receptical boxes in the drywall and re-textured. Eduardo was timely at 7am (his request), takes pride in his work and cleaned up when he was done; even vacuumed the floors and carpets!"

"PatchMaster repaired the drywall in a 3x4' portion of the ceiling that had a water leak repaired. the estimation process was simple. Russel and I exchanged text and photos, and he came to the house to confirm his understanding of the scope of the work. I was on their schedule a week later, and the drywaller arrived a few minutes early. He installed furniture and carpet protection from the job site all the way to the door to ensure that he kept the hours clean. His demolition was fast and he let me inspect the are in the cavity before install the patch so I could quickly check for other plumbing issues. His patch work and texturing were also quick and tidy, and the match to the surrounding/untouched ceiling looks pretty good. Over all, I am very happy with PatchMaster and will use them again for drywall needs. Their price was fair as compared to several other quotes I received. I felt that Russel demonstrated the most comprehensive understanding of the work and what needed."

"We had Roberto install sprinkler system, sod and a retaining wall. Price was fair, wished the sod had been rolled, some of the rock never was cleaned up. Very responsive when we had questions, came back out quickly when we noticed a few yellow spots in the sod."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

You can repair plaster ceilings yourself after the cause of the ceiling damage has been addressed. However, the repair can easily take 5 hours and can be slightly challenging for those without previous experience. If you do decide to flex your DIY muscle, have a helper to help hold the ladder and pass you the tools for safety purposes.

Costs range from $200 to $800, depending on the area size and damage severity.

Yes, you can use drywall repair techniques for some types of plaster damage. Tiny holes and small cracks in plaster can be patched in similar ways to drywall. You apply the necessary compound to fill the hole, wait for it to dry, then sand it down. For larger damage, like water damage or mold, you need to use plaster-specific techniques and materials.

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.

Yes, you can speed up the time it takes for plaster to dry, but it's important to do so carefully to avoid issues like cracking or crumbling. Proper ventilation is key; open a window or use a fan to circulate air in the room. Heat can also accelerate drying, but be cautious, as too much heat can cause the plaster to dry too quickly and crack. Check the plaster's packaging for the recommended drying temperature and set the room's thermostat accordingly. While managing humidity is important, avoid using a dehumidifier, which can remove moisture too aggressively and result in crumbly plaster.
