"Rigo was one of two contractors that returned my call out of the several I had contacted.  The estimate given to me on a Wednesday was fair for the work I needed done.  Rigo and his crew arrived as promised the following Friday and had the sheet rock up with tape and mud in no time at all. The following Saturday AM they came by to sand and texturize the walls and were done in about an hour.  The new drywall looks great and the texture blends well with the rest of the wall. I'd use his services again and recommend them to anyone needing drywall repair. I opted to paint the walls myself and he even advised me of how to properly prepare the new drywall surface with primer before painting.

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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.

Technically speaking, you can use drywall primer over plasters. However, oil-based primers work the most effectively on wall plasters. Meanwhile, water-based primers work just as well with drywalls. Nowadays, there are also universal primers suitable for drywall and plaster. Overall, you will be fine as long as you are using a trustworthy brand.

You can put drywall mud over paint to even out the surface or entirely resurface it. Sand the surface with 280-grit sandpaper, vacuum the debris and dust with a shop vac, and clean it with a slightly damp cloth. Allow the surface to dry. Apply drywall primer, especially if you’re skim-coating an entire wall. Apply the right type of drywall mud over the surface and smooth it with a trowel. Allow the layer to cure fully, then sand it before applying another layer or painting it.

Water-damaged drywall should almost always be replaced. Not only does it look bad, it’s a breeding ground for toxic mold. Even if you think the area is dry and there’s no active leak, the only way to be sure is to cut out the damaged area and see for yourself.

Regularly in areas prone to moisture or high traffic to catch issues early.
