"Cannot even tell we had waterlogged drywall! He cut out the wet stuff, installed new drywall, taped and mudded and painted. My wife and kids were all shocked you cannot even tell where the replacement drywall begins and ends. Excellent work!"

"?????????? 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."

Once he started he showed up on time as agreed and was extremely detailed with his work, he definitely takes pride with delivering a 5 star end result. We recommend him without any hesitation or concerns. He cleaned up after the job too."

"Juan is a well manner person with respect for his customers. My wife and I think Juan is the BEST. Juan started one day after I hired him and was done in 2 days. He started by protecting everything and fixed some cracks and holes in the walls. This was a difficult job since my ceilings are 16" high. Best part is that Juan is a man of his word and gives a TOP quality job. I highly recommend this company. Bob and Holly"

"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

Plaster is denser, harder, and more porous than drywall, so it absorbs moisture differently. This means you’ll often need more prep work, such as thorough sanding, patching, and priming with a high-quality bonding primer. Additionally, you may need more coats of paint to achieve even coverage. While the process takes more time, it helps ensure a durable and professional-looking result.

Look for flaking paint or air bubbles that burst and then flake away. Paint will begin to flake after being exposed to minimal moisture or water, so it’s a good indicator of any water damage. If you notice your paint starting to flake, feel the plaster underneath to see if it is soft or damp.

If you’re installing new drywall, you may need to skim coat the drywall first for a smooth finish and to allow the primer to adhere to the wall. It’s only necessary if there are imperfections in your drywall due to issues with the studs or improper drywall installation. If you’re refreshing existing walls, you may want to skim coat if there are imperfections across the wall. As an alternative, you can repair your drywall and sand it for a smooth finish before painting.

The best tool for skim coating drywall is a skim coating blade, which can smooth out joint compound in wide stretches. While you could use a smaller drywall knife for skim coating, the smaller size means it’ll take longer to smooth out each section. Instead, consider investing in a skim coating blade for the quickest application.

Drywall insulation costs around $1,800, on average, but prices can range from $500 to $4,500, depending on a few different factors. The following things are important considerations to make when pricing out your insulation project:

  • Square footage of insulation

  • Type of insulation 

  • Climate in your area and the insulation R-value required

  • Whether or not your walls are already finished

  • Accessibility of the area 

  • Whether or not you need old insulation removed first
