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!"

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

You’ll get better results if you soundproof the whole wall. A hole through which light can pass can also let sound waves in. Acoustical or silicone sealant applied to holes and cracks can block enough sound to make a difference. However, the more layers absorb vibrations and slow or stop sound waves, the less noise you’ll have. 

Your walls are likely cracking due to fluctuations in the temperature outside. Drywall tends to expand and contract when temperatures and humidity levels change, and this repeated movement can lead to cracks in your walls, particularly around door frames. If you have multiple diagonal cracks, you may want to have your foundation inspected, as cracks can also be a sign of a bigger issue.

The age of your home can clue you in to whether you have plaster or drywall ceilings. Homes built after the ‘70s are more likely to have drywall ceilings and walls, while older homes have plaster. You can also do the pushpin test: A pushpin will go into drywall, whereas it’s much harder to push one into a plaster wall. If you’re still unsure, ask a drywall professional to let you know which type of ceilings and walls you have.
