"Carmen and his team were at our home to install drywall and we hired him separately to do our fireplace stone install. His attention to detail and hard work ethic is unseen these days. He did a beautiful job, worked with us to pick the perfect grout color, design of the stone, etc. and then cleaned up so nicely each day. After building a house, we’ve seen the full range of contractors and Carmen stuck out as one of the really professional ones! Can’t recommend enough!"

"Assured quality did an amazing job with remodeling my home. The original work in the home was terrible from the paint to the trim. Assured quality made sure I noticed the difference and was so detail oriented! I will be sure to call Juan again if I ever need any further renovations done in my house!"

"They arrived when they said. I think it was early afternoon.  I let them in and went back to work. When I got home that evening I thought they would still be there but they were gone and the job was done. They came by later to pick up the check. Friendly and they know what they are doing. Plaster work is a specialty and when you have older homes sometimes you  have to pay more.  I  thought it was a bit pricey but  it was plaster work and I am not familiar with pricing, so it may have been right on.

"They did so much more then painting. They painted my Kitchen, living rooms, office, and basement ceiling. also did drywall patching as needed. Did an excellent job with sanding and staining all of my windows. The Dreesen Brothers are the "jack of all trades" . They also, power washed my front porch and my deck. They are very trust worthy and are men of their word. An excellent team. I would hire them anytime.."

"I definitely recommend Salvador to anyone that needs drywall installed. His work was great and his price was great as well. I was a bit nervous to let a stranger into my home, around my kids but he had a positive aura about himself that made it easy for me to hire him and trust him with my home project. He turned my dungeon of a basement into a living area for my family. He worked hard, came to start early and even asked to stay late on work on the weekend. When I had a concern or question he addressed it right away. He definitely wants to make sure you are happy with his work."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.

Drywall anchors won’t work on plaster. Instead, they will more than likely cause more damage and pull out the plaster. The best type of anchors to use on plaster walls are the ones that will bite into the surrounding area, such as molly bolts and toggle bolts. Masonry anchors with expanders on the sides also work for lighter pictures.

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.

Deciding whether to repair or replace drywall can be tricky, but your top considerations should be the extent of the damage and what caused the damage. For instance, if you need to repair a small hole caused by a doorknob that hit the wall, you can safely patch it without a second thought. However, if you have significant drywall damage caused by water damage, it’s best to thoroughly remove the drywall to inspect and repair the pipes behind it before replacing it.

Applying plaster to a wall will usually cost between $2 and $10 per square foot for both the material and labor. The cost will vary based on the quality of the plaster you’re using and whether or not prep work is required before the work begins. Wall prep can add up to about 10% to your total costs. Plastering exterior walls can be more expensive in many cases because they are taller and require scaffolding and safety equipment.
