"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

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. 

You can plaster over regular drywall, but it's essential to prepare the surface properly. Before plastering, the drywall should be clean, free of dust, and any loose or peeling paint should be removed. Applying a primer specifically designed for plastering can improve adhesion. Some professionals recommend applying a base coat of plaster or joint compound to create a better surface for the plaster to adhere to. Proper preparation ensures a smooth and durable plaster finish over regular drywall.

Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.

On average, repairing a ceiling costs anywhere from $450 to $1,750. However, there are many variables that can impact the price of this project. For example, the type of ceiling material, type and extent of the damage, and local labor rates all affect your costs. Holes and cracks are less expensive to fix, while structural issues and water damage are pricier problems.

Regular inspections and cleaning to prevent moisture or pest issues.
