Customers say: Terrific value

"I am thrilled with the work DTI (Ed) did for me. He was prompt; gave me fair prices and did a lot of different things on my old house in short order. He fixed one toiled and replaced two others; installed a new disposal unit (and added a switch for it) and a new kitchen faucet; and replaced three a total of four faucets in the basement / laundry areas. Rarely was a project just as I'd explained it so his willingness to make changes to meet the realities was most welcome. Every work area was left better than when he started and all old material and trash was removed. He is a cheerful fellow who I enjoyed chatting with and my dog loves him (and he was really nice to her). I couldn't be more pleased!"

"i had jorge come in to reinstill some drywall and lay down some flooring - both tile and vinyl - that had to be replaced due to water damage. He was responsive, thorough and did really good work in a quick amount of time. I would definitely use him again."

"My husband and I were looking to get some drywall repair projects done ASAP. Chris was able to come by within a few hours of my request on Home Advisor to give us a quote, which was very reasonable. The next day him and his crew began the project. The crew was friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. The drywall repairs look awesome! The best part was they took the time to thoroughly clean up after their projects! I am glad I found Caldwell Remodeling and will certainly use them in the future and recommend them to friends and family."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Plaster is denser, harder, and more porous than drywall, so it absorbs moisture differently. This means you’ll often need more prep work, such as thorough sanding, patching, and priming with a high-quality bonding primer. Additionally, you may need more coats of paint to achieve even coverage. While the process takes more time, it helps ensure a durable and professional-looking result.

There are several things you should not do when installing drywall. Common mistakes include: adding too many screws, over-sanding, not adding backing support, and installing drywall unevenly. You also should avoid screwing into the same place twice, installing Sheetrock with tapered edges on the outside, and making too many joints.

You can skim coat plaster, but it’s better to repair the plaster itself. A skim coat is a thin coat of drywall joint compound spread over the surface of a wall. The result is a flat finish that looks pleasing, but part of the appeal of plaster is its imperfections and aesthetic. Skim coating is best when limited to drywall applications.

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.

Look for flaking paint or air bubbles that burst and then flake away. Paint will begin to flake after being exposed to minimal moisture or water, so it’s a good indicator of any water damage. If you notice your paint starting to flake, feel the plaster underneath to see if it is soft or damp.
