Is it cheaper to shiplap or drywall a fireplace?

• <div><p>It’s less costly to drywall a fireplace than shiplapping it since material costs are higher for shiplap. However, if you’re DIYing the project, shiplap is less expensive since you won’t have to pay for labor. With drywall, getting a smooth finish is difficult unless you’re a pro. Shiplap is ideal for an accent wall or unique space, such as around a fireplace, since it adds texture and gives off a cozy vibe. </p></div>

Do I need drywall corners?

• <div><p>It’s a pretty good idea to have drywall corners, also called drywall beading. Drywall is a pretty brittle material and corners tend to be rubbed up against it often. Rather quickly, the edges will start crumbling and you’ll need to replace the entire panel, or add beads on top and repaint the wall. Drywall beads—which are inexpensive—provide long-term support for the drywall and protect your investment.</p></div>

Are plaster walls better than drywall?

• <div><p>Drywall installation is considerably faster and more affordable than plastering. Because plastering involves applying a wet material, it’s more time-consuming, takes longer to dry, and is more prone to cracking. It doesn’t tend to be as insulative either. If you need resurfacing work done on the walls, it's not unusual for the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-plaster-walls.htm">cost of plastering</a> to hit $10 per square foot, which is much higher than the drywall installation costs of $1.50 to $3 per square foot.</p><p>If you’re looking for good soundproofing and want a high-end look in a historic home, though, plastering may be the better option.</p></div>

We had such a great experience with Clear way painting. They were quick to get us on their schedule and the work they did was excellent. We would definitely hire them again.

Mr. Wollenschlager made two visits, one to give an estimate, the other to do the work. He did the work on time, quickly, and well, at a fair price.

He arrived as promised. In fact he had to come out an extra time because the rain created a lot of moisture in the air. He cleaned all the dust and left the bathroom very clean. I can't even tell where the hole used to be!
