"I hired Burnett sight unseen as I live halfway across country--a leap to make anyone nervous, but I have no regrets. Burnett was prompt to go over to the house, make a very reasonable quote and start the work. Communication was excellent. I knew every step of the way what was happening. Work was finished in good time. Craftsmanship of the drywall work was SUPERB! (they put a layer of drywall on a damaged plaster ceiling throughout the main floor). I am very pleased with the finished product and would happily recommend them. Earned my trust."

"Elvin is great. He fixed my wood double front doors and applied paint that I had picked out, as well as new handles/lock. He took his time, was very polite, and made sure everything was in order before in left. My front doors look amazing. Will be hiring him again for more work around the house. Also, his pricing was very reasonable and on point for the amount of repair and painting work he did."

"I cannot praise Davis & Davis enough! I had water damage in the ceiling in my dining room from the bathroom above it. The popcorn ceiling pealed off the ceiling revealing damage to the plaster above. It was awful. After finding D&D on Angi’s I am so pleased to say they were wonderful. Danielle was helpful, and extremely responsive. We were able to schedule the repair within 2 weeks! Tommy came to the condo on time and started working immediately. The project lasted 2 days, and after it was completed, my dining room looked better than when I first got the condo! And so clean! My dining room looked cleaner than when they started the job! Each day Tommy cleaned up all materials and the room was completely useful the entire time. I would recommend Davis & Davis to anyone, and I already have! I have told also my friends, and all the folks I play pickleball with! Not only were they professional, and clean, they were extremely reasonable priced. The project cost well within budget!"

It was a pleasure working with their team."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Technically speaking, you can use drywall primer over plasters. However, oil-based primers work the most effectively on wall plasters. Meanwhile, water-based primers work just as well with drywalls. Nowadays, there are also universal primers suitable for drywall and plaster. Overall, you will be fine as long as you are using a trustworthy brand.

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.

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.

You will be placing holes in the wall to hang the mounting bracket. If you’re mounting a large TV, the bolts in use could make significant holes around half an inch in diameter. Other than a few holes, though, the process of mounting the TV should not cause significant damage to the wall, unless you make an error and miss the wall stud, tearing out drywall. Should you decide to remove the mount later, the DIY drywall repair cost for a small hole usually is $10 to $30. It’s a repair you can do in a few minutes.

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.
