"These guys were great. Some delays due to weather but they were always on time when the weather was good and they did a fine job. They frequently asked me to look over their work to make sure it met my expectations. If I noticed anything, they never objected and they promptly attended to it. In fact the quality of the work and their attitude was so good, I have decided to hire them to refinish my decks also."

"Overall I was very satisfied with the work.  The true measure of a company is how they respond when things don't go perfectly.  I had a few minor issues during the painting.  The painter accidentally knocked over a vase and broke it.  He felt terrible and apologized profusely.  Float n' Coat immediately reimbursed me for the vase.  Accidents happen and I was pleased with the way it was handled and how I was treated. 
Both Jason and Patrick were very professional and the walls/ceilings look great.  They made sure I was satisfied completely before leaving and calling the project complete.

Drywall questions, answered by experts

If you already have plaster walls and ceilings, adding new plaster costs $2 to $10 per square foot. For an average-sized room, that would come out to $1,200 to $10,000. However, the cost to replace plaster with drywall is higher—running between $720 and $1,250 for a 10-by-8-foot wall or ceiling (not including drywall finishing).

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

When you are learning how to tape and mud drywall, waiting for things to dry requires a lot of patience. So how long does drywall mud take to dry? On average, it takes about 24 hours. However, it depends on things like the thickness of the mud, as well as the room’s temperature, humidity, and ventilation. Using thin layers of mud in a warm, low-humidity room with good airflow reduces average drying time. You also could speed up drying time by making use of hot drywall mud, which consists of a powder that you mix with water, instead of using pre-mixed mud. 

A utility knife is sharp enough to score the drywall and it may work in a pinch for outlet box holes. However, one of the best tools for drywall when you need to make exact cuts for an outlet box quickly is a drywall saw. This handheld tool has a longer blade than a utility knife, so it penetrates the thickness of the drywall easily. The design of its handle and the teeth in its blade make it easier to control while cutting quicker than you can with a utility knife.

Yes, you can use drywall repair techniques for some types of plaster damage. Tiny holes and small cracks in plaster can be patched in similar ways to drywall. You apply the necessary compound to fill the hole, wait for it to dry, then sand it down. For larger damage, like water damage or mold, you need to use plaster-specific techniques and materials.
