"My fiance and I purchesed our first home that had popcorn cealings and walls. We hired En-Al Interiors to smooth out the walls and give us knockdown ceilings. The price was reasonable and within the local market value. En-Al Interiors scapped the old popcorn walls and ceiling for our whole house (1300 sqft.), and gave us textured ceilings. En-Al Interiors was professional by asseing our needs, and finished within our short timeline, before our move-in date. I recommend En-Al Interiors to family, friend, and plan on seeking their services again in the future."

"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."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

You can put certain types of plaster over other types, but doing so isn't always the best idea. For example, putting a coat of gypsum over lime plaster is possible, but doing so will limit the lime plaster's breathability and potentially affect its performance.

Since cement plaster tends to leave a textured surface, no matter how much you smooth it, some people prefer to use gypsum plaster as a topcoat over cement plaster, creating a smoother surface.

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

How long it takes to repair a ceiling depends on the extent of the damage. Patching a small hole might only take a few minutes, while repairing a water-damaged section of the ceiling could take hours. If there are structural issues, expect your ceiling repair to take several days or longer.

If your home was built before the 1940s and was not remodeled in the past 50 or so years, you probably have plaster walls. Aside from assuming, there are some practical ways to tell if you have plaster walls, including the following: If you knock on the wall and it feels solid, not hollow, if you can’t insert a thumbtack easily, if there are cracks that look like spiderwebs, or if your home has curved, arched, or swirled walls, doorways, or window openings.

If you have an unfinished basement or attic, you could examine the backs of any finished walls to check, too.

Depending on how much adhesive was used as well as the strength of the adhesive, you may have some drywall damage when removing a mirror. You can typically repair most drywall damage if it’s small by sanding the damaged area, applying spackle to smooth the damaged section so it’s flush with the rest of the wall, and repainting the area.
