"JL Drywall responded after hours and gave me a quote the next morning! Very responsive and awesome follow thru. Job was completed as quoted and on time. Going to recommend them to my Bathroom installer who -by the way doesn’t do “Drywall” even when they quoted knocking down a pony wall!! Would recommend John to anyone who needs Drywall done right!"

"I originally hired Lance do paint the whole inside of my 2300 sqft home. He completed this task on time. He was quick and efficient and he also patched drywall issues along the way. I then hired him again to paint outside shutters, porch and fix some drywall in our garage as well as fix a patch in our guest bedroom carpet. Anything I asked if he could do he did it for me. He was a great help. His prices couldn't be beat either."

"We received several quotes for this work and they were very reasonable. and had excellent reviews. I must agree with the reviews as the work was done on time, professionally, and extremely neat. Popcorn removal and finishing drywall is very dusty. They were able to contain it in the rooms and cleaned up afterwards to make it easy on us. Finally, it is very difficult to find subcontractors that show up on time and complete the project according to schedule. They were fantastic about this. We would definitely use their services again."

"Don from Spectrum came over the day before to give me a solid quote for approximately 750 sq feet of wall space. I already had the paint although I needed more and he let me know exactly how much I was going to need. The next day he came and started the job and finished it the same day. Don may be the nicest man I've ever met and was so courteous and clean. He was a pleasure to be around and was very informative in other things that I needed done. I will be seeking him out again to do some ceiling work for me. You can not go wrong with him."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

You can usually tell if you have plaster or drywall by touch (plaster is harder, colder, and smoother than drywall) or by tapping on it (drywall sounds hollow, plaster does not). If you still cannot tell, peek under an outlet cover and check the cut edges. The rough edges show the composition of the wall. You will see either drywall (two paper sheets sandwiching gypsum material) or only plaster material (no paper sheets).

The cost to skim coat drywall is $1.15 to $1.35 per square foot. Most of the cost is labor, for the necessary skills to apply the skim coat with precision using high-quality tools. This is a job better left to the professionals for the best outcomes.

If you already have plaster walls and ceilings, adding new plaster costs $2 to $10 per square foot. For an average-sized room, that would come out to $1,200 to $10,000. However, the cost to replace plaster with drywall is higher—running between $720 and $1,250 for a 10-by-8-foot wall or ceiling (not including drywall finishing).

While not always necessary, you can glue a drywall ceiling in addition to using screws or nails. Drywall is typically secured to ceiling joists with fasteners, which is often sufficient. However, adding construction adhesive can offer benefits like preventing sagging, bridging gaps, and reducing air leaks for better energy efficiency. It may also be used for specific acoustic or insulation needs. On the other hand, many professionals advise against it because properly placed screws make the drywall structural, glue doesn't add strength, and it makes future repairs or replacements significantly more difficult. Ultimately, it's best to follow local building codes and project-specific requirements to decide if adhesive is right for your ceiling.

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.
