Work is not what i do it's my passion i enjoy what i do drywall taping and painting. I have worked in the trade for more than 15 years I have done Commercial and residential work. I am employed at another company yet i also find time to do side jobs. I have worked for them 10 Years. I do Speak Spanish and English send me a text or an email I do like to take a look at the jobs to give an estimate Or just give me a call.

"Alberto came only on Sundays for a few hours , took him around 2 months to finish ,every time he left the basement was dirty, when he left he said it was ready to paint but the walls and ceiling had to be dusted so the paint would adhere to the drywall, there are cracks in the ceiling joints and humps on the walls which probably need to be sanded again, and when I call him he doesn't respond. He finally came by and told me something totally different than what he said to get the job. He told me he wasn't going to repair his shoddy work. DO NOT USE HIM (I believe he gives his wife's name and number as a reference)"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Plaster can be a difficult DIY to master, especially if you plan to plaster an entire room, rather than patch a small area. Before you begin a plaster DIY project, you need to know which tools and type of plaster to use. It's also important to know how to prepare the surface and apply the plaster for a smooth finish. If that all sounds like a lot of work, you may prefer hiring a local plaster repair contractor to do the job.

Although their applications are very similar, no drywall compound and spackle are not the same thing. Spackle is a bit thicker and is used to patch holes as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. Joint compound shrinks a bit more and can be more temperamental to spread. However, one benefit is that you can use joint compound as spackle (for small jobs), but you can’t use spackle as joint compound.  

Venetian plaster walls tend to be beautiful and attractive. While applying Venetian plaster to the walls of your home won't have the same impact on its value as renovating the kitchen or remodeling the bathroom, the plaster can make your home more appealing to potential buyers, leading to higher offers and more competition when it's time to sell.

You can put certain types of plaster over other types, but doing so isn't always the best idea. For example, putting a coat of gypsum over lime plaster is possible, but doing so will limit the lime plaster's breathability and potentially affect its performance.

Since cement plaster tends to leave a textured surface, no matter how much you smooth it, some people prefer to use gypsum plaster as a topcoat over cement plaster, creating a smoother surface.

Drywall can be better than plaster if you’re installing a new wall and want to keep costs low. It’s much cheaper than installing plaster and provides a smooth, uniform surface. Many homeowners simply paint over the drywall or add a texture like sand or orange peel. It’s also much easier to DIY than plaster, and if you need to change your layout, it’s much easier to remove.
