"Tommy at Key West Drywall finished my drywall and textured a bathroom under remodel. He did an amazing job all around - very reasonable prices, top-notch work, very professional, and always on-time. I've recommended Key West Drywall to several friends and would hire him again."

"Matthew James and his crew did an excellent job repairing some ceiling drywall in our garage. It had broken loose and jammed the door opener trapping our SUV inside the garage. They arrived one day after being awarded the job and the ceiling was fixed before days end. They even repaired other loose drywall and a water damaged spot and resprayed the popcorn finish."

"Lance Muffley is OUTSTANDING to work with. Professional and treated me like I was in a million dollar home - not an 840 sq ft condo. While you can get a cheaper job - it WILL LOOK CHEAPER. I wanted a professional job - one that will last DECADES and turn out as beautiful as I see in the magazines. I got that!! Lance is the first painter / drywall patch repair person I will turn to. He also saved me when ANOTHER company, Start2Finish flooring , screwed up my baseboards and crown molding. I would NOT have made my move in deadline if it were not for the fact that Lance and his AWESOME crew stepped up to the plate and saved me. He and his crew worked in my place WITHOUT ME THERE - no issues at all whatsoever!! Hire him and his team without reservation. And Lance, you can give anyone my number for a real-life reference. Just let me know first. I absolute respect you and the work you do. With gratitude - Keri H."

Drywall FAQs, answered by experts

You can plaster over regular drywall, but it's essential to prepare the surface properly. Before plastering, the drywall should be clean, free of dust, and any loose or peeling paint should be removed. Applying a primer specifically designed for plastering can improve adhesion. Some professionals recommend applying a base coat of plaster or joint compound to create a better surface for the plaster to adhere to. Proper preparation ensures a smooth and durable plaster finish over regular drywall.

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.

Which style of corner bead you choose—whether metal or paper-faced—depends on your preference and if you’re comfortable using metal-cutting tools and a hammer. Metal bead offers superior strength and durability but its installation is slightly more involved. We’d say for most cases, it’s better to use metal bead but if you’re not comfortable working with metal, paper-faced bead will work just fine. 

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.

Drywall tape is made of paper, while drywall mesh is made of fiberglass or metal. Drywall mesh patches are suitable for repairing small holes in drywall, while paper drywall tape holds a crease better for corners. You need joint compound to adhere drywall tape to the wall, while mesh patches may be self-adhesive.
