"Fisher Drywall is the only drywall company I use. For 30 years I have used Fisher from new drywall in a new house, remodeling a commercial space, fixing 50 year old plaster walls, removing popcorn ceilings and coming to the rescue after Derecho water damage destroyed walls and ceilings. The drywall finish is perfection. They are true artists, making all the drywall new or patched, look smooth without flaws. Their team is always professional, friendly, clean, trustworthy and timely. Their work adds equity to your home by fixing wear and tear before you market your home. Worth every dollar you pay."

"I called Cooley Drywall on approximately 9/10/12 to ask for an estimate for ceiling texture repairs. I let him know that we were on a short timeline, and that we needed to have the work done as soon as possible. He came to do an estimate within a couple of days. He seemed very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. We received an estimate immediately.
We ended up hiring another company because the estimate we received was significantly less than the one from Cooley. We would consider hiring Cooley in the future, provided price was something we felt was reasonable.

"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 questions, answered by experts

Both plaster and drywall are durable wall finishes, but they differ significantly in installation, cost, performance, and aesthetics.

Installation & Cost: Drywall installation is faster and more affordable, typically costing $1.50 to $3 per square foot. It uses premade sheets, making it a more accessible DIY project. Plastering is a labor-intensive craft that requires specialized skills, pushing costs to $2 to $10 per square foot. It involves applying a wet paste over a lath framework.

Durability & Performance: Plaster is generally more durable, longer-lasting, and provides superior soundproofing. It is also a better insulator, which can help reduce energy costs. Drywall is easier to remove for future renovations.

Aesthetics: Drywall provides a smooth, uniform surface ready for paint or texture. Plaster offers a high-end, naturally textured look that can hide imperfections and is often preferred for achieving a classic or historic aesthetic.

Which is better? The choice depends on your priorities. Drywall is ideal for those prioritizing a lower upfront cost, faster installation, and DIY potential. Plaster is the better option for a higher-end project where durability, soundproofing, and a unique, premium finish are more important than the initial cost.

It is possible to apply plaster on the interior or exterior of your home, but we don’t recommend it. Plaster is easy to apply in theory, but in reality, it can be a challenging material to work with, and it’s difficult to get the finished product to look clean, even, and smooth. Many DIYers end up calling in a professional afterward to touch up the area or even redo it entirely because of mistakes they made in the process. Hiring a plaster pro will cost more, but it’s usually the best option to achieve high-quality results.

Depending on the place where the cutting error occurred, you may be able to fix it. Learning how to patch a hole in drywall is challenging, but if you can tape and mud drywall, you can do it. Having said that, patching is time consuming. Early in the installation process, you may find that it’s easier and far less time consuming to just start over with a new sheet of drywall, cutting a new hole in the right spot. You may be able to use part of the incorrectly cut piece elsewhere, so it’s not completely wasted.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

Costs depend on damage size, labor rates, and whether additional services like painting are required.
