"I had my garage insulated and drywalled. The job was done timely. I was kept in the loop daily by phone call or text. When the job was done, all was cleaned up and debris removed. I am very happy with the result and would recommend this company."

Contacted and he returned call the same day.. He was busy, but when he got time to call he did.. He said he would come over the following day and look at the job and if I wished he would give me a quote...  Which he did, and I chose to take his bid...   He said he was extremely busy, but could be able to start the project within the week...  He phoned me a few days later and asked if he could start the following day...  Of coarse I chose to take the start day, since I needed ceiling done before wife could start to paint and have carpet installed...  He came over as described, started in and got everything set on Saturday and asked if it would be alright to come back on Monday to finish the job...    Ok by me and he had to do a lot of leveling, since I had had water damage when I had purchased the home...   I have had quite a few homes, not just my living home, but have had rental property also, and have had many plasterers...  He is fantastic...  The only other plasterer I have ever had I no longer can find...  I think he must have moved out of our area, so got Dennis's name from Angie's List and thought I'd try him...   He has now done my basement bathroom, a soffit area in the kitchen and now the living room...   You should know I had never met or heard about him until I got on Angie's List in January or February...   First time he came here he did the bathroom and the soffit area and I was so pleased with that -- I called again to get his availability...  He has a great personality, will answer any questions, and very professional...   Work done speaks for itself...


If you need a plasterer and want a great job -- don't be afraid to call him..  He does top notch work and I'm sure, as I too, am very fussy what I pay and get from others...   You will be pleased with your outcome...

Should you wish to see his work before calling him..   Call me at 815-218-0214 and I'd be more than happy to show you  some of his work...    You will agree...

"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."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding Contractor – Highly Recommended! I’ve worked with many contractors over the years, but Nick stands out as the absolute best. From start to finish, his professionalism, communication, and speed are unmatched. Unlike many handymen who need to figure things out as they go, Nick comes in with a clear plan, provides a fair quote, and delivers exceptional results—often ahead of schedule and on budget. We started with a full roof replacement, and even the inspector commented that it was “better than most roofing contractors.” The job was completed in just a few days, and the quality was top-notch. Since then, Nick has completed a wide range of projects at my home, including a full bathroom renovation, electrical work, landscaping, drywall, and painting. His drywall and finishing skills are especially impressive—everything looks seamless and professionally done. What’s more, my entire family has began using this guy!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can install drywall over plaster, but there are important factors to consider. While it can create a smooth, flat surface, it is often not the best approach. Installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall's thickness, which can cause issues with existing window and door frames that may no longer fit. You might also need to adjust power outlets to keep them accessible. A better, though more expensive, option is to remove the old plaster and lath entirely before installing new drywall. Drywalling directly over plaster seals in the old material, and if any problems arise later, you will need to remove both layers down to the structural beams for repairs. Given the potential complications, this job is best handled by professionals.

Most handy homeowners can tackle removing texture from unpainted walls. Removing texture from painted walls is a bit trickier. Paint acts as a sealant, so you can’t soften the texture with water. Instead, you’ll have to add a layer of drywall compound known as a skim coat. This process is messy and takes some practice.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

The best way to make long, straight cuts is to use a utility knife and a T-square to score the sheet, snap along the score, and then finish the cut by cutting through the paper on the opposite side with the utility knife. If you’re making small cuts, curved cuts, or cutouts for electrical boxes or light fixtures, you can use a manual jab saw to keep costs down, but an electric spiral saw or oscillating multi-tool will get the cleanest, fastest cuts possible.

To maintain plaster walls, inspect them regularly for cracks and seal them early. Clean the walls by dusting regularly or using a gentle, damp cloth. It's also important to avoid moisture exposure. Repainting as needed will help maintain the wall's appearance and longevity.
