"Hired them to repair the drywall on one wall and paint the dining room, living room, bathroom, kitchen, hallway, office and ceilings. The drywall guy was amazing and great at his work. The painting was okay. The painters did not prime the wall the drywall guy skimmed and I had to buy more paint for them to coat it two more times. They did tape everything but paint still ended up on the trim and fixture, but the kicker was the black paint spilled in the office on the carpet that they did not attempt to clean up nor offer to have it fixed. We also was having real hardwood flooring installed by Loews in the dining, living room and hallway, and they wanted the job. It started off fine and they took a little longer than we thought. They did scratched the floor in two places and when we pointed it out they got some wood filler and that was how the fixed it. The filler filled the gouge but is not repaired. The price also went up without any compensation for the damage to the new floor. Pointing out the issues I had with the painting, they did make efforts to address my concerns. The workers are great and friendly I just think the boss signs them up for jobs outside of there capabilities sometimes."

"After a "simple" bathroom repainting turned into a nightmare of peeling paint from permanent wallpaper, with damaged drywall as a result, David provided me with options for repairing the walls with a new, cost-conscious finish and then painted the room for me as well. He was extremely punctual and responsive, professional and anxious to provide excellent customer service. He was accurate in how much time the job would take, and his price guarantee made sure that no hidden costs popped up at the last minute. He did a great job, and saved us A LOT of frustration and stress."

"I contacted World Painting after CertaPro dropped out of sight.  We quickly got an appointment with them and they were ready to give us a bid that day.  The price was reasonable and it included power washing, caulking, and painting our porch floor along with the entire house.
They were able to start within the week and kept us updated through out the project, letting us know what was the next step and when it would be completed.  Customer service was excellent.  When I had a question they called me back within the hour. 
They did an amazing job and we have gotten tons of compliments on it.  We would definitely use them again.

"The job was done well and I would use them again if needed. If I had the opportunity I would have used them for interior as well. They were done ahead of schedule and came back and fixed a flaw that was not their fault even after being paid."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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.

You should leave a gap between drywall sheets because they naturally expand and contract along with the building framing as temperature and humidity change. Most pro drywall installers leave a gap of about ⅛ inch between drywall sheets, allowing the sheets to expand, contract, and shift without cracking or becoming damaged. If you don’t leave enough gaps between slabs, the edges will press against each other when they expand, and the pressure can cause visible cracks.

To hide drywall edges, you need to properly apply drywall tape and multiple layers of joint compound. These materials hide the seams between drywall sheets and fill the holes from drywall screws, leaving behind a smooth, flat finish to paint over. Apply joint compound smoothly, and finish the job by sanding the walls to make sure you fully hide drywall edges and other imperfections.

The best way to make long, straight cuts is to use a utility knife and a T-square to score the sheet, snap along the score, and then finish the cut by cutting through the paper on the opposite side with the utility knife. If you’re making small cuts, curved cuts, or cutouts for electrical boxes or light fixtures, you can use a manual jab saw to keep costs down, but an electric spiral saw or oscillating multi-tool will get the cleanest, fastest cuts possible.

Yes, you can mount a TV on plaster walls—as long as you attach it to the studs. Alternatively, you can use toggle bolts, molly bolts, or another type of hardware that’s strong enough to support a TV. 

If you aren’t comfortable with this type of project, you can hire a pro. The cost of mounting a TV to a plaster wall ranges from $25 to $600 (or more), depending on the TV’s weight, size, and other factors.
