"LDA Drywall did a great job. The work was done well, in a timely manner and the work area was left as it was found. The quote was a fair price for the job. LDA fixed the hole in the ceiling within 24 hours of getting the quote."

"House beautifully painted with odds and ends masterfully fixed around the house: woodpecker damage, flashing on the chimney, broken spindles on the porch, and splitting wood trim. Paul Enterprises is a professional, aiming to please, and attentive to detail company. Owner Bill is honest, upfront, and easy to work with. Given the hand painting work, it took a little longer than a spray job. Although the price was a little high, the end product was well worth it."

"Haven of Driscolls painting did an excellent job repairing my Pella storm door. He arrived on time, was very polite, and did the job efficiently. He also pointed out another issue on a door threshold that needs repair that I would not have seen. I highly recommend Haven!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Drywall mudding can be done in one day if the project is small and the desired effect isn’t too complex. If you need multiple layers of mud, one day may not be realistic. But a single room that requires little more than joint compound on the seams and screws can be done in a day or two.

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.

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.

Whether it’s better to screw or glue drywall depends on your specific budget and project timeline. Professional drywall installers are more likely to use screws and fasteners than adhesives, but it takes longer. But if you are DIYing your drywall installation, glue is a perfectly fine choice if you’re willing to pay extra for adhesive.

Plastering lasts for around 15 to 20 years without needing repairs or maintenance in most cases, and with proper upkeep, plastering can last a lifetime—sometimes more than 100 years. Plaster repair costs between $1 and $3 per square foot, and you may need these services once every 15 to 20 years or so unless you have a harsh climate where humidity changes are a constant issue. You can also opt to skim-coat plaster for between $0.90 and $1.30 per square foot, which may serve you better in the long run.
