"Excellent work. Tim repaired a hole in the ceiling of my downstairs shower and done such a great job you can't see where the hole was or where the work was done. If you need drywall work done this is the company you want."

"Sean contacted me within the first 10 minutes of emailing Angi and set up an appointment to look at my drywall repair job. So glad we chose Drywall Express to do the work. Sean was able to blend in the drywall repair with the rest of the garage ceiling so you couldn't tell we had an issue in the first place. I would highly recommend Drywall Express and plan on hiring this company for drywall replacement in one of our bedrooms."

"I used Scott's Home Renewal for a first floor renovation about three years ago, was pleased and hired them again for this. Not the cheapest contractor, but definitely the best I have used here. First class professionals; first rate subs, especially the tile and glass people The custom glass door arrived with the wrong specs, and the glass contractor got the factory to make a new one with only one day of waiting.. If you want it done right, contact Scott's."

"Santino is a real pro with door repairs and replacement. He found a used door and installed it as a replacement for our broken door. Santino did a good job of communicating with us before and during the project. He was easy to work with and professional. He guarantees his work. He followed through on all the tasks he said he would do. We would definitely recommend him."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

You can paint over drywall mud about 24 hours after application, but the exact timing depends on factors like humidity, temperature, and the thickness of the mud. For the best results, ensure the mud is completely dry to the touch and has changed from a darker gray to a lighter, chalky white. Don’t forget to sand and prime the drywall surface before you paint to create a smooth, even finish.

Applying plaster to a wall will usually cost between $2 and $10 per square foot for both the material and labor. The cost will vary based on the quality of the plaster you’re using and whether or not prep work is required before the work begins. Wall prep can add up to about 10% to your total costs. Plastering exterior walls can be more expensive in many cases because they are taller and require scaffolding and safety equipment.

Regular dusting, occasional repainting, and avoiding harsh scrubbing preserve the finish.

Damp plaster does dry out, although the drying time depends on several factors, including the type of plaster, the surrounding temperature, moisture content, and the extent of the dampness. Sometimes, it can take weeks or months for wall plaster to dry naturally.

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.
