"I was very satisfied with the quality of the drywall repair that A Step Above did for me. I had several rooms in my house in need of some major TLC and they definitely delivered. They let me know about pricing and what to expect up front and answered all of my questions while being professional throughout the entire process. Everything turned out great and now you can't even tell where the damage was in the first place."

"Very polite. Affordable pricing. I got a light/fan/speaker placed, sink leak fixed, clogged drain fixed, caulking in two bathrooms, shower head changed, and closet doors fixed. I would recommend more documentation of the services to be provided and the cost of materials to avoid any confusion."

"I had a room converted to a gym room. Drywall was installed in areas where cabinets were removed. Baseboards were replaced. A new floor was put down. The room was also painted. I’ve had Kareem back for several smaller jobs including, replacing an indoor step tread, replacing a faucet, and other drywall projects that included walls and ceilings. Kareem has a very professional manner and his work is done with care and expertise."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on damage size, labor rates, and whether additional services like painting are required.

When you are learning how to tape and mud drywall, waiting for things to dry requires a lot of patience. So how long does drywall mud take to dry? On average, it takes about 24 hours. However, it depends on things like the thickness of the mud, as well as the room’s temperature, humidity, and ventilation. Using thin layers of mud in a warm, low-humidity room with good airflow reduces average drying time. You also could speed up drying time by making use of hot drywall mud, which consists of a powder that you mix with water, instead of using pre-mixed mud. 

In most cases, no, you won’t need a permit to replace drywall. If you’re changing the floorplan of your home by adding or removing walls during the drywall project, then you might need a permit, but replacement or repairs usually doesn’t require a permit. Your drywall professional should be able to confirm whether or not a permit is required for your project. If it is, it’s likely to add between $50 and $150 to your total cost. Keep in mind that you will need permits if you plan to install new electrical wiring or plumbing lines behind your new drywall.

All plaster walls will crack over time due to normal house settling and expansion and contraction from temperature and moisture changes. Small, thin hairline cracks are generally not serious and are mostly a cosmetic issue. However, larger or more significant cracks can indicate structural problems.

Here's how to tell the difference:

  • Cosmetic Cracks: Cracks that are 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) or thinner are typically cosmetic.

  • Structural Cracks: Cracks wider than 0.5 cm, excessive or deep cracks, multiple cracks in the same area, or cracks that span around corners can signify a structural or foundation issue. Cracks along the joints where walls meet the ceiling also warrant attention.

For cracks wider than 0.5 cm, structural repair is needed. If a crack is 2.5 cm (1 inch) or wider, or if you notice any signs of a structural problem, it is best to contact a plaster repair professional to assess the damage.

Damp plaster does dry out, although the drying time depends on several factors, including the type of plaster, the surrounding temperature, moisture content, and the extent of the dampness. Sometimes, it can take weeks or months for wall plaster to dry naturally.
