"Lady s Drywall Team did a great job painting our 4 walls over 14 feet high. This was an emergency paint job. Lady s Drywall promptly gave an estimate and completed the job the very next day. Her team arrived early, protected the floor area and baseboards, and finished in a timely manner. They were professional and had the proper equipment to complete the job. My family is pleased with the end results and the walls look amazing."

"Terri and her team did a wonderful job, despite unforeseen challenges that were uncovered during the project. Plaster walls and multiple holes from outlet installation in a very old house created some issues. However, the team resolved them and did so with professional and kind attitudes. Great to work with and the finished product is absolutely stunning! Mark LaClaire"

"Excellent handyman! He installed a ceiling fan, replaced a towel rack, and repaired a leaking dishwasher hose. He was professional, informative, and did quality work. We appreciated the helpful suggestions he provided for other home projects. We’ll definitely be hiring him again to paint our fence. Highly recommend, Thank you Drew!"

"Rio Bravo construction is an excellent company. If you employ them you would be making one of the best decisions of your life. I have had a very hard time over the years finding a good company for home projects. I have finally found one in Rio Bravo. They will not disappoint and they do not cut corners. Rio Bravo has renovated my master bathroom and my guess bathroom and currently renovating my powder room among other projects that I have been waiting a long time to get done. My projects went well above expectations. Julio is the owner and is a very kind person and easy to work with. My friends could not believe the high quality projects that Julio completed. One friend was even speechless."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

You can skim coat plaster, but it’s better to repair the plaster itself. A skim coat is a thin coat of drywall joint compound spread over the surface of a wall. The result is a flat finish that looks pleasing, but part of the appeal of plaster is its imperfections and aesthetic. Skim coating is best when limited to drywall applications.

Drywall can be installed directly on ceiling joists. In fact, this method is common in many construction projects. Drywall sheets are attached to the joists using screws, ensuring a secure and stable installation. Before attaching the drywall, it's important to mark the joist locations on the ceiling, allowing for accurate screw placement. Proper spacing between screws and careful taping and mudding of joints are crucial to creating a smooth and flawless ceiling surface. If the joists are in good condition and level, installing drywall directly on them is a practical and efficient approach.

Small patches can be DIY, but professionals handle large-scale repairs with seamless results.

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.

You should do a little bit of sanding between adding coats of mud. Knock down any ridges or significantly imperfect areas through sanding, which should help you apply the next coat of mud smoothly. If your first coat of mud is pretty smooth after it dries, a quick sanding is all you’ll need. Don’t forget to wipe away any dust after each sanding process.
