"Guy was always on top of the job and fit us in as quickly as he could with his outside work. The quality of the work that was done was excellent. Inside painting & plaster work can always be a hassle but once he started the job he finished it within the week. Work involved painting ceiling of one bathroom, removal of wallpaper & repair of drywall & ceiling in second bathroom & repainting ceiling & wall of the bathroom. Also, drywall in the basement had to be replaced. Work in all areas was done efficiently and to high standards."

"I first reached out to W Technique LLC to paint my kitchen cabinets, after seeing the results of their work at my friendâ s house. I decided to add onto this job, the painting of the walls and ceilings in my living room and the first and second floor of the hallway and entryway. Owner, Brendan, is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. Not only was the price reasonable, the work was over the top! I was so satisfied with the results of W Techniqueâ s work, that I could honestly say Iâ d have them back for future projects, because I haveâ ¦three more times! In total, so far, they have done the painting of my cabinets, ceilings, walls, and trim. They have done popcorn ceiling removal and ceiling repair, as well as a bathroom remodel. They work cleanly and quickly without sacrificing quality. I have been happy with the results every time and I highly recommend W Technique LLC!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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.

While it’s most common to sand plaster dry, it is possible to wet-sand plaster, too. Doing so can reduce the amount of plaster dust released into the air and make it easier to work in smaller, more delicate areas (such as around wall trim). However, some people find that wet sanding leads to more imperfections, which is why larger walls are more often dry sanded to ensure an even finish.

Metal corners, often referred to as corner beads for square corners, are used on drywall installations to provide structural reinforcement to vulnerable outside corners. Their usage safeguards against chipping, denting, or other forms of damage, enhancing the overall durability of the wall. Metal corners also offer a precise and straight edge that facilitates sharp and clean lines, crucial for achieving a polished and professional finish.

Regularly in areas prone to moisture or high traffic to catch issues early.

Whether a drywall anchor can be reused depends on its material, type, and the method of removal. Plastic anchors, including expansion and self-drilling types, are generally designed for single use as they tend to break or deform upon removal. Metal anchors, such as toggle bolts, are more durable and may be reusable if they are not damaged during extraction. However, with toggle bolts, the toggle piece can fall into the wall cavity when the bolt is removed, making it difficult to retrieve. If an anchor is damaged during removal, for instance by having its head cut off, it cannot be reused regardless of the material.
