I have been in the plastering for 33 years. Due to the number of inappropriate leads as of 10/8/23 there is a nominal 10 dollar consulting fee. We can handle everything from new homes to complete room guts/renovations as well as small patches. We do it all when it comes to your walls and ceiling utilizing Kal-kote / two coat plaster or one coat plaster systems. We also repair /install plaster moldings. DRYWALL is general term and includes sheet rock, blue board, green board and more. WE DO NOT DO SMOOTH JOINT COMPOUND ON SHEETROCK HOWEVER, WE CAN BOND AND PLASTER SHEETROCK. We will do joint compound knock down textures. If you request us specifically BE DETAILED in describing the repairs needed or I will not respond. REPAIR DRYWALL is not an adequate description.\n To learn more about the difference between the various plaster systems and joint compound finish please visit us at our main web site henselplastering.com.

Drywall questions, answered by experts

How you hang the drywall can affect the finishing process. It's often easier to finish horizontal drywall panels, as the seams run across the wall rather than up and down. Standard drywall panels are 48 inches wide, so the seam is easy to reach without bending down or stretching your arms.

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 load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

You can plaster over regular drywall, but it's essential to prepare the surface properly. Before plastering, the drywall should be clean, free of dust, and any loose or peeling paint should be removed. Applying a primer specifically designed for plastering can improve adhesion. Some professionals recommend applying a base coat of plaster or joint compound to create a better surface for the plaster to adhere to. Proper preparation ensures a smooth and durable plaster finish over regular drywall.

You should always hang drywall from the top down. Starting at the top makes it easier to create a straight, tight line between the ceiling and the wall. Any gaps that occur will be at the bottom, where they are easier to manage. You can either cut the bottom piece of drywall to fit the remaining space or cover the gap with baseboard trim. Additionally, starting at the top is physically easier, as you won't have to fit the top sheet into a tight space between the lower sheet and the ceiling, or try to balance the upper sheets on the lower ones while securing them.
