"I had a very positive experience with Edwin and YMY drywall. This past summer (July 2024), I needed to have ceiling drywall taken down and new ceiling drywall installed in the process of adding insulation. I ended up using YMY for all the drywall work and it was a good experience. The owner, Edwin, is very professional and organized. His quote was very competitive he was very receptive to my questions and requests during the process. It was clear he wanted to make sure I was satisfied with the outcome. His adult children also work for him, which I took as a good sign. After the drywall work was done, I ended up hiring YMY to paint the ceiling and it came out well, too. I would hire YMY again if I had another project."

"The company sent out "Alex". The job was to replace a small wall cabinet that fell from a previous handyman installed. Turns out the cabinet was installed without a wood anchor in the wall. Alex installed wood anchors in an open space in the wall, and showed me how it could not be pulled out. He repaired the sheetrock, blow-dried the wet mud, sanded it smooth, and matched the paint perfectly, then replaced the cabinet strong enough to sit on top of it ...all in 2.5 hours!!! Seriously EXCELLENT PROFESSIONAL, quicker than expected time start to finish by Alex!!!! He was on time and very pleasant, neat and cleaned up the work space like he was never there. I am so happy & grateful. Thank you!"

"I hired OTS Enterprises to remove the popcorn acoustic ceiling in my home, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The crew was professional, on time, and very respectful of my space. They took the time to properly prep the area, protect everything, and clean up after the work was done. The ceiling came out smooth and looks completely refreshed. You can tell they take pride in their work and pay attention to the details. Communication was clear throughout the process, and they delivered exactly what they promised. If you’re looking for someone to remove popcorn ceilings and do it the right way, I would definitely recommend OTS Enterprises."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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.

While you can put new drywall over old drywall, it’s not always the best option. In some cases, drywalling over drywall can make it harder to find wires and pipes behind your walls and conceal more serious problems with your walls. It can also make the room smaller. On the plus side, putting drywall over drywall can improve soundproofing and insulation. Plus, it’s often less expensive than tearing down and adding new drywall.

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.

Yes, you can apply new plaster over an existing plaster surface, such as a wall or ceiling, provided the old plaster is in good condition. Before you begin, check the stability of the existing plaster. The surface must be clean, free of loose material, and have no peeling paint. It is also recommended to roughen the surface slightly to promote adhesion. For older plaster, applying a base coat like a PVA emulsion or a specific bonding agent or primer is crucial. This step makes the existing plaster less porous and ensures the new and old layers adhere properly for a smooth, long-lasting finish.

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.
