"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."

"Dimitri did a very good job on our hallway. He managed to paint a very tight corner without getting any grey paint on our newly installed white trim. He has a very steady hand with the brush. The grey paint did bleed through the tape onto the baseboard trim in a couple locations but he made certain to repaint the trim and not just leave it up to us to fix. That was very professional of him.

"Bob was punctual, efficient and a pleasure to have in our home.  He spend one entire day and half of the next day repairing damaged drywall on walls and ceiling in our bedroom. The work was done perfectly. He was tidy, cordial, and made sure to clean everything after the work was completed.  He also repaired several sections of fencing in our backyard that had been damaged from a fallen tree limb. He secured the proper materials and made sure the work was to my satisfaction. I wouldn't hesitate to use Bob's services again in the future. In fact, I intend to.

"They subcontracted the work.  Initial wallpaper removal was by local high school kids and was very slow.  Then one college kid who was even slower.  They finally brought in their pro who did as much removal in one day as the others did in a week.  Needless to say, the entire project finished late and missed a critical date.
The painters were very good where they painted except didn't seem to understand what to paint - I would keep pointing out areas out and sometimes they would include the area and sometimes they wouldn't.  Eventually a foreman got them to mostly meet the contract but it wasted time and caused me stress.  I felt like I was the foreman or contractor when I just wanted to write the check and have it done well and on time.  Sadly it wasn't done on time so all my furniture and electronics arrived before the work was done and ended up covered in drywall dust.
I also paid to have the woodwork cleaned and the wall plates matched throughout the house.  Both those were only half done.  They claimed woodwork just means window trim whereas I meant it to include all the wood.  I also had to go to the hardware store and buy and install a bunch of wall plates (which was not a big deal except I had paid them to do that.)
They also asked me to pay extra to clean up afterwards - I don't know of any business who does any job and then doesn't clean up after themselves.
I believe they have a good reputation, but if you use them make sure the contract specificies no subcontracting and be sure you and they agree on what is and isn't included in the work.

"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

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.

Very little. One inch of water can stain walls, warp wood, and create a perfect environment for mold growth. One to two inches of water can do significant damage to drywall, insulation, and electrical systems. Anything over that is considered an extensive flood, often resulting in severe structural damage.

Yes, taping inside corners is a critical step in the drywall installation process.  Properly taping inside corners is essential for achieving a professional look, and an installation that resists cracking and maintains its integrity over time. Taping the corners involves the application of a joint compound along the seam where two drywall pieces meet. This process provides reinforcement, conceals the seam, and prevents future gaps or cracks from developing.

There are six levels of drywall finish, from 0 to 5, that refer to the amount of work performed during the finishing process.

Level 0: Drywall is hung with no finishing work.

Level 1: Tape is placed over the seams between drywall sheets.

Level 2: A thin layer of mud is applied over the tape and screw holes. This level is common for utility rooms or walls that will be covered.

Level 3: A full coat of mud covers the screw holes and tape, but the surface is not sanded. This is often used in garages.

Level 4: This is the most common finish for visible interior walls. It involves applying two coats of mud over seams and screw holes, with sanding between each coat, creating a smooth surface ready for flat paint.

Level 5: This is a high-end finish for luxury homes. It includes full taping, mudding, and sanding, plus a final skim coat over the entire surface before painting.

You can paint over plaster, but repair any damage to the plaster first, or the paint will crack and bubble. You should also prepare the surface of the plaster to accept paint, which gives your paint job the best chance of looking good and lasting a long time. Before applying the color you want, apply a coat or two of primer. Additionally, use latex paint, and choose a latex paint with a satin finish for areas with dampness, like bathrooms.
