"Samuel did an excellent job in completing all repairs to my house. After having a contractor leave several projects incomplete after the 2016 flood, I was a bit apprehensive to engage another contractor to complete the unfinished projects, but I was highly satisfied with Samuel's work and professionalism. Samuel repainted the ceiling throughout my entire house, painted my laundry room, installed the backsplash in my kitchen, patched four (4) holes in my drywall and finished installing the drywall in my garage."

"A tree knocked down a section of my 4’ fence and my neighbor’s chain link fence. They replaced the damaged sections and then did repairs to the rest of the wooden fence, stabilizing sections and replacing pickets. Friendly and knowledgeable."

"YES. I Hired Them. From the start they were upfront and transparent with me about my project. I am more than satisfied! They went far above my expectations. They weren't cheap! But my experience was all worth every penny. There were others cheaper. I made that mistake in the past and didn't call them then. Lesson learned! Civil Lining is now on my speed dial. Im just so impressed they're professionalism integrity. That's rare today. Guys keep up the good work."

Small jobs welcome

"Jose is super prompt, courteous and professional. He was hired to do drywall and finishing work and was excellent. His price is very fair. I needed him to come sheet rock a section to cover the HVAC return air so we could get the AC turned on the next day. He didn’t even wait for one of his guys to be free , he came and did it himself the same day I called. He does more than just sheet rock and I will be calling on him again! Highly recommend."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Although they have similar applications, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Their primary differences lie in their composition, consistency, and ideal use cases.

Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it thicker than joint compound. It dries quickly and is easy to sand, which makes it ideal for small wall repair projects like filling nail holes or patching minor damage.

Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum. It is primarily used for large-scale projects, such as taping and finishing the seams on newly installed drywall. It tends to shrink more than spackle and can be more difficult to spread.

While both products can be used to fill small depressions and cracks, spackle cannot replace joint compound for taping and mudding new drywall. Conversely, you can often use joint compound for small patching jobs typically done with spackle.

Applying plaster to a wall will usually cost between $2 and $10 per square foot for both the material and labor. The cost will vary based on the quality of the plaster you’re using and whether or not prep work is required before the work begins. Wall prep can add up to about 10% to your total costs. Plastering exterior walls can be more expensive in many cases because they are taller and require scaffolding and safety equipment.

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.

While you can put new drywall over old drywall, it’s not always the best option. In some cases, drywalling over drywall can make it harder to find wires and pipes behind your walls and conceal more serious problems with your walls. It can also make the room smaller. On the plus side, putting drywall over drywall can improve soundproofing and insulation. Plus, it’s often less expensive than tearing down and adding new drywall.

Textured walls can increase the value of your home if the style is modern and seen as a desirable feature and not something a prospective buyer would need to remedy. A good example of this is popcorn texture versus Venetian plaster. The plaster wall would add value to your home, whereas the popcorn texture may be something a new buyer would want to remove.
