Customers say: Quick response

"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."

"I had drywall installed for about 4 rooms that needed to be completed after a terrible experience with another contractor who abandoned the job. I reached our to Overstate who came out to do the inspection quickly. They gave me a competitive quote and was very knowledgable during the consultation we had. They just completed the job and now my home looks refreshing. Their office was so supportive and kind during this process and all their workers very professional. Thanks to your team for the amazing job!"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.

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.

You can put certain types of plaster over other types, but doing so isn't always the best idea. For example, putting a coat of gypsum over lime plaster is possible, but doing so will limit the lime plaster's breathability and potentially affect its performance.

Since cement plaster tends to leave a textured surface, no matter how much you smooth it, some people prefer to use gypsum plaster as a topcoat over cement plaster, creating a smoother surface.

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.

It may take a bit of patience and trial and error to match your particular drywall texture type when making repairs. For orange peel or knockdown finishes, use a spray texture product or a thinned joint compound applied with a roller or sponge. Practice on scrap drywall or cardboard first. Once dry, lightly sand and prime before painting.
