"We had a tree come through our bedroom after a major storm in our area. It had taken us a long time to get our roof repaired, and our GM at the time was having trouble finding drywall contractors for the interior, as many other houses in the area were affected. Having to take matters into my hands, I ended up calling three contractors in the area. Brian from ABE answered right away and came over to inspect that afternoon. I found him easy to talk to, and he answered all of my questions. We were scheduled to begin work within two weeks, with work starting this past week. He has shown up on time every day and has basically met all of the timelines he has set for himself. He has been agreeable to providing all of the necessary documentation for insurance purposes. I'm no expert, I don't have major storm damage to fix every day, but I ran the pricing by both my insurance adjuster and general contractor, and they both agree that it was a reasonable price. They also agreed to do the painting, which we have had rooms painted before, and again, I would say the price was very reasonable. The work that has been performed so far looks great. They've installed the drywall and put on the mud layer. There is still texturing and painting yet to go. Will report back once work is complete, but so far have been pleased by the responsiveness, punctuality, and work quality from ABE."

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

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.

Drywall mudding can be done in one day if the project is small and the desired effect isn’t too complex. If you need multiple layers of mud, one day may not be realistic. But a single room that requires little more than joint compound on the seams and screws can be done in a day or two.

This depends on how much plaster is applied and in how many layers, but a decent estimate is around 150 square feet. If you are applying only two coats on a small wall, there is a chance you may only need one or two gallons for the entire project. If you are plastering a large living room wall with high ceilings, using one of the more involved techniques–like Scagliola–that requires several coats, expect the project materials costs to add up quickly. 

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.

The person’s skill will affect how many drywall sheets they can hang in one day. Some people can hang 10 or more sheets in a day, while others may only hang six or seven sheets. It also depends on the framing complexity since custom cutting and fitting the drywall can prolong the process.
