"?????????? Mar?s team came through with craftsmanship that honestly surprised me?in the best way. Their painting work was clean and precise, the molding installations looked like they belonged in a design magazine, and the drywall repairs blended in so perfectly you?d forget anything was ever damaged. They showed up on time, worked with real care, and treated the place like it was their own. If you want a crew that delivers skill with zero headaches, Mar?s is the one to call."

"Huck is knowledgeable, a great communicator, and an overall nice guy who does great work. He recently fixed some stress cracks in our plaster and drywall. I liked his work so much that we had him back to re-tile our shower space. The work all turned out great! 10/10 recommend."

"I hired Juan to hang drywall, tape and paint in the basement. He did a great job at a fair price and finished on time. I made some changes to the job while in process and Juan accommodated those without missing a beat."

"Jaime showed up on time to give me a quote for power washing the vinyl siding on our house, detached garage, wood retaining wall and sidewalks. When he gave us the quote I asked when we could schedule. We were amazed when he said he came to do the job. So we hired him on the spot. Took about 6 hours. He worked hard and did an excellent job. Unlike many contractors we have had over the years, he gave us his attention 100% of the time. He didn't spend half the time on the phone which was another plus to us. Very courteous and professional. We would absolutely hire him again."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Whether you apply the drywall mesh before or after drywall mud depends on the type of patch it is. For self-adhesive patches, you’ll put the patch down first and then coat it with mud. Mesh patches that are not self-adhesive will require you to put mud down first and then press the mesh into it, followed by additional coats of mud.

If you want to reduce sound transmission throughout your home, soundproofing drywall is a better choice than standard drywall. However, simply installing soundproofing drywall may not completely block out noise. You’ll get the best results from incorporating it into a larger soundproofing plan that includes proper insulation and framing studs.

Yes, you can speed up the time it takes for plaster to dry, but it's important to do so carefully to avoid issues like cracking or crumbling. Proper ventilation is key; open a window or use a fan to circulate air in the room. Heat can also accelerate drying, but be cautious, as too much heat can cause the plaster to dry too quickly and crack. Check the plaster's packaging for the recommended drying temperature and set the room's thermostat accordingly. While managing humidity is important, avoid using a dehumidifier, which can remove moisture too aggressively and result in crumbly plaster.

Both plaster and drywall are durable wall finishes, but they differ significantly in installation, cost, performance, and aesthetics.

Installation & Cost: Drywall installation is faster and more affordable, typically costing $1.50 to $3 per square foot. It uses premade sheets, making it a more accessible DIY project. Plastering is a labor-intensive craft that requires specialized skills, pushing costs to $2 to $10 per square foot. It involves applying a wet paste over a lath framework.

Durability & Performance: Plaster is generally more durable, longer-lasting, and provides superior soundproofing. It is also a better insulator, which can help reduce energy costs. Drywall is easier to remove for future renovations.

Aesthetics: Drywall provides a smooth, uniform surface ready for paint or texture. Plaster offers a high-end, naturally textured look that can hide imperfections and is often preferred for achieving a classic or historic aesthetic.

Which is better? The choice depends on your priorities. Drywall is ideal for those prioritizing a lower upfront cost, faster installation, and DIY potential. Plaster is the better option for a higher-end project where durability, soundproofing, and a unique, premium finish are more important than the initial cost.

A jigsaw is commonly used to cut holes in drywall. It offers versatility and precision, making it suitable for creating circular or irregular openings. When equipped with the right blade, a jigsaw can swiftly and cleanly cut through drywall, making it a good choice for DIY projects.
