"I recently hired David McCoy to do some patchwork on the drywall in my house, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. He displayed utmost professionalism, punctuality, and exceptional skills throughout the entire process. The patched areas are seamless—you’d never know there was any damage there to begin with. David paid close attention to detail and ensured everything was executed perfectly. Moreover, he maintained cleanliness in the workspace and was very respectful of my home environment. I highly recommend David McCoy for any drywall work. His excellent craftsmanship and outstanding service make him a top choice for anyone in need of drywall repair. You won't be disappointed!"

"Lance was awesome! He painted my master bedroom and patched a couple holes we had in the drywall. One from my dog, and it turned out great, better than expected. The dog sure did a number but now you would never know my dog ate the wall. The paint job was done nice and neat and come out very well! We are so pleased with his work. Lance was professional and on time to do the job. Very easy to schedule with. I already have more jobs I’d like him to do!"

"We are extremely happy with Edson, Johana, and the work done by ENJ Luminous LLC! From our first call to the completion of the project only took about 10 days. Esmond came the same day to give us an estimate for removing the popcorn ceiling, fixing cracks and old water damage, and repainting the ceilings in our rental home. We found the estimate to be very fair and asked Esmond to get started. He and his team breathed new life into our 26-year-old home. It looks brand new! We are so glad we went ahead with the project and are thrilled with the results. The work was completed quickly and beautifully, and Esmond kept us updated throughout the entire process with messages and photos. We highly recommend Esmond and his team and will definitely contact him again when we’re ready to fix the settling ceiling cracks in our main home."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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).

Yes, applying a texture can hide minor imperfections and irregularities in drywall, but it will not cover significant damage like nail marks or screw holes. The best texture depends on the size of the flaws. For minor imperfections, popular choices like orange peel, sand, or popcorn texture are effective. For larger imperfections, you may need a more prominent style, such as a knockdown or trowel finish, to conceal them effectively.

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.

Both plaster and drywall are durable wall finishes, but they differ significantly in installation, cost, performance, and aesthetics.

Installation & Cost: Drywall installation is faster and more affordable, typically costing $1.50 to $3 per square foot. It uses premade sheets, making it a more accessible DIY project. Plastering is a labor-intensive craft that requires specialized skills, pushing costs to $2 to $10 per square foot. It involves applying a wet paste over a lath framework.

Durability & Performance: Plaster is generally more durable, longer-lasting, and provides superior soundproofing. It is also a better insulator, which can help reduce energy costs. Drywall is easier to remove for future renovations.

Aesthetics: Drywall provides a smooth, uniform surface ready for paint or texture. Plaster offers a high-end, naturally textured look that can hide imperfections and is often preferred for achieving a classic or historic aesthetic.

Which is better? The choice depends on your priorities. Drywall is ideal for those prioritizing a lower upfront cost, faster installation, and DIY potential. Plaster is the better option for a higher-end project where durability, soundproofing, and a unique, premium finish are more important than the initial cost.

Most handy homeowners can tackle removing texture from unpainted walls. Removing texture from painted walls is a bit trickier. Paint acts as a sealant, so you can’t soften the texture with water. Instead, you’ll have to add a layer of drywall compound known as a skim coat. This process is messy and takes some practice.
