"Angelo was hired to repair/replace drywall damage from a re-piping. His skills and service are truly impeccable, went above and beyond to help me put my house back together and the job is so well done you can't tell the walls and ceiling were patched. Angelo is also a very honest and genuine person, I would hire him again and intend to have him do some work on my mother's house."

Customers say: True professional

"Jesus was prompt and easily accessible. He gave me a consultation in 3 days. He made a repair appointment for the week after his consultation. He is a very pleasant man. He made an assessment as to the best way to repair my leaky french door at the first visit. He instilled my confidence by his professionalism regarding the task at hand. His work was precise, and when finished he cleaned up the mess made by the repair. Very thorough. Reasonable price for the type of repair."

"I have been working with contractors for 40 years and I will say that Henry Arguetas and his colleagues are by far the best. Henry is professional, personal, knowledgeable, accommodating , neat, expert in his field and attentive to detail.. I couldnâ t be happier with the repair of all my upstairs ceilings after damage requiring duct repair. You would think I had entire new ceilings installed. Henry painted the entire house and was extremely neat, therefore there was little dust to deal with. Henry also fixed my add on list which consisted of some twenty tasks that I needed done after moving to my Lauderdale by the Sea condo full time. I could say a lot more, but I think you now know what a gem Henry is."

"They did an excellent job! They removed the ugly popcorn ceiling from the upstairs of my house and now I have nice, flat ceilings. Very happy with their work and will use them again in the future when I finish the downstairs."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

Generally, your homeowner’s insurance might only cover ceiling collapses caused by problems under the coverage, such as a busted pipe. But if the ceiling collapse resulted from owner negligence, maintenance issues, or other reasons excluded by your policy, you could be on your own. Some policies might cover damages caused by the collapse but not the repair itself. Check with your policy carrier for the most accurate information regarding ceiling collapse coverage.

Although they have similar applications, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Their primary differences lie in their composition, consistency, and ideal use cases.

Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it thicker than joint compound. It dries quickly and is easy to sand, which makes it ideal for small wall repair projects like filling nail holes or patching minor damage.

Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum. It is primarily used for large-scale projects, such as taping and finishing the seams on newly installed drywall. It tends to shrink more than spackle and can be more difficult to spread.

While both products can be used to fill small depressions and cracks, spackle cannot replace joint compound for taping and mudding new drywall. Conversely, you can often use joint compound for small patching jobs typically done with spackle.

Plaster is a beautiful finish but is labor-intensive to install and remove. It’s vulnerable to cracking and more sensitive to moisture variance than drywall. Installing plaster on a new wall is an expensive process that can take days to weeks, depending on the scope. Removing a plaster wall can also be quite expensive and time-consuming.

Regular inspections and cleaning to prevent moisture or pest issues.
