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...

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Certain drywall textures, like sand and sometimes popcorn, can be smoothed by applying skim coats, sanding the walls, or chipping away the texture. However, it’s worth considering removing the texture and starting with a blank canvas. Smoothing textured walls requires a lot of sandpaper and elbow grease and can take longer than just outright removing the texture.

You should do a little bit of sanding between adding coats of mud. Knock down any ridges or significantly imperfect areas through sanding, which should help you apply the next coat of mud smoothly. If your first coat of mud is pretty smooth after it dries, a quick sanding is all you’ll need. Don’t forget to wipe away any dust after each sanding process.

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.

You can skim coat plaster, but it’s better to repair the plaster itself. A skim coat is a thin coat of drywall joint compound spread over the surface of a wall. The result is a flat finish that looks pleasing, but part of the appeal of plaster is its imperfections and aesthetic. Skim coating is best when limited to drywall applications.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.
