"Martin worked on replacement of our over-range microwave. We had issues with the previous oven's ventilation due to poor coupling with existing rigid ductwork. Martin explained the nature of the problem and provided options for either adapting the new oven to existing ductwork or set up new exhaust ductwork, with pros/cons for each. We chose to use existing ductwork. Martin worked to ensure the ductwork was properly attached and that any air escapes were sealed, adapting the microwave exhaust to be compatible (complicated further by the slightly larger size of the new microwave. This required opening access from the back through the wall and temporarily removing one kitchen cabinet to gain full access. Martin performed this work quickly and thoroughly, making sure to color and texture-match the paint when repatching the opening made to the back wall. We are very pleased with the end result, a working new microwave with quiet and very effective ventilation. The work was completed mostly same day (with the exception of the wall patch painting, to allow the patch work to fully set overnight). I recommend Martin for his expertise across multiple areas and his focus on high quality work."

Plaster Repair questions, 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.

Drying alone can take 1 to 4 hours to dry to the touch per plaster layer, but some types of plaster take several hours longer to dry. However, this doesn’t mean the job is done because plaster doesn’t fully harden until it cures, which can take a few days to a couple of weeks. It may take even longer if you’re building a new, pretty thick plaster wall. Allow the plaster to cure before painting it.

You will be placing holes in the wall to hang the mounting bracket. If you’re mounting a large TV, the bolts in use could make significant holes around half an inch in diameter. Other than a few holes, though, the process of mounting the TV should not cause significant damage to the wall, unless you make an error and miss the wall stud, tearing out drywall. Should you decide to remove the mount later, the DIY drywall repair cost for a small hole usually is $10 to $30. It’s a repair you can do in a few minutes.

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.
