Customers say: Quality work

"I cannot say enough good things about Dave Lallier and his son Wayne. They make a great team and are both very personable and a pleasure to talk with. From the initial quote to the final completion of the job, Dave was very supportive and helpful, ensuring that he could deliver a quality installation in a timely and efficient manner. Communication was always clear, prompt, receptive, and personable. As my project is located in a bonus area above the garage, Dave worked with the supplier to deliver the sheetrock thru a second-floor window rather than having it delivered thru the finished house and up the stairs. This allowed him to use 12-foot sheets instead of 8-foot sheets, resulting in a better-quality installation. Dave even came onsite during the delivery and helped me reinstall the window! My installation included a lot of 45-degree angles (due to the dormer windows and natural slope of the roofline) as well as lots of ceiling lights, speaker mounts, and other prewires that had to be pulled thru and cut around. It came out fantastic! Their work was clean and efficient and they cleaned up the space immaculately when they were finished. I spoke with a number of contractors before hiring and I am so happy that I chose Lallier Construction. I will be calling Dave and Wayne for all my drywall needs in the future. They do big and small jobs and also repairs. Don't hesitate to hire them!!"

"Jaleel did an excellent job on our water damage rebuild project. The scope included insulation, drywall, painting, trim work, and final finish work following an insurance claim. What stood out most was Jaleel's professionalism, communication, and responsiveness throughout the project. The project was completed on schedule, the quality of the rebuild work was very good, and he was easy to work with from start to finish. I would absolutely hire Jaleel and Pro Renovate again."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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.

If your home was built before the 1940s and was not remodeled in the past 50 or so years, you probably have plaster walls. Aside from assuming, there are some practical ways to tell if you have plaster walls, including the following: If you knock on the wall and it feels solid, not hollow, if you can’t insert a thumbtack easily, if there are cracks that look like spiderwebs, or if your home has curved, arched, or swirled walls, doorways, or window openings.

If you have an unfinished basement or attic, you could examine the backs of any finished walls to check, too.

If your premixed drywall mud is dried out or has begun to set in the bucket, you may be able to revive it by adding warm water and stirring. However, the first and most important step is to scrape off any hard, dried bits of drywall that may have accumulated toward the top of the container and throw them away because they will not easily reconstitute back into the drywall mud mix.

Only use spackle on plaster walls when the imperfection is small. It’s best used for nail holes or small dings in the plaster. Spackle dries quickly, allowing you to continue the repair process shortly after using it. Plaster can be tricky to repair, though, so if you run into issues, call a pro so that you don’t risk further damage.

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.
