"I had a very high stairwell that I needed painted. I also had a section of popcorn ceiling that needed to be repaired. Both of these projects were completed perfectly and didn't cost as much as I thought it would. Would definitely recommend this company!"

"I hired Mike Storey based upon friends recommendation. He was awesome to work with. I had a long list of work that needed done - kitchen cabinet, finishing work for wainscoting and trim, matching up what was already started by my late husband, deck railing and trim, front railing, installing a new door. All work was done exceeding my expectations. I knew it would be hard to find someone willing to come in and pick up where my husband left off but Storey Home Improvement did the work professionally, reasonably priced and quick. I also appreciated Mike giving me suggestions for some of the finishing touches that made my kitchen and railing look even better than I expected. I plan to hire him again as I have remodeling plans in the future and would recommend him to friends and family."

"Omar was prompt in getting us the estimate (the lowest price by far) and scheduling our job. He and his team were courteous and hard working. They came back for each stage of the drywalling process as soon as the prior stage had dried. The finished product was exactly what we requested with no flaws. His ceiling texture work was spot on with matching the rest of our home. They did a decent clean up job as well. Also, there were no problems with language barriers as I saw in another review."

"Aaron and his associate from Blackhawk’s Framing & Drywall did a phenomenal job bringing new life to my old dingy kitchen cabinets. As a busy nurse, I attempted to paint the cabinets myself but was too busy to complete the task. Aaron is a true professional. He walked me through the process and answered all of my questions up front. Aaron was prompt and fair with his prices. I appreciate how he took care to make sure he left the work area clean and tidy. I’ll definitely hire Aaron again for future projects!"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Although they have similar applications, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Their primary differences lie in their composition, consistency, and ideal use cases.

Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it thicker than joint compound. It dries quickly and is easy to sand, which makes it ideal for small wall repair projects like filling nail holes or patching minor damage.

Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum. It is primarily used for large-scale projects, such as taping and finishing the seams on newly installed drywall. It tends to shrink more than spackle and can be more difficult to spread.

While both products can be used to fill small depressions and cracks, spackle cannot replace joint compound for taping and mudding new drywall. Conversely, you can often use joint compound for small patching jobs typically done with spackle.

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.

Common causes include water leaks, settling, and impact. Address underlying issues to prevent recurring damage.

Ceiling-mounted curtains won’t damage the ceiling if they’re installed properly. Using the right anchors or securing the brackets into joists will ensure the curtain weight is properly supported and prevent damage. However, overtightening screws, using weak anchors, or repeatedly removing and reinstalling hardware in the same spot can cause cracking or sagging over time. In that case, you might have to call a pro for ceiling repair.

Plaster is a beautiful finish but is labor-intensive to install and remove. It’s vulnerable to cracking and more sensitive to moisture variance than drywall. Installing plaster on a new wall is an expensive process that can take days to weeks, depending on the scope. Removing a plaster wall can also be quite expensive and time-consuming.
