"Larry's team was meticulous and focused on restoring the walls in my 100+ year old duplex. Larry came in with great ideas and options and made the place look like new. All the cracks vanished! He even put up a new ceiling in one the bedrooms. I plan to use Preferred Drywall again very soon. Thanks Larry!"

"I had 2 bathrooms that needed total rebuilding after serious water damage. It was a very challenging job since the house is over 200 years old and nothing was plumb or level, but Johnny and his crew were more than up for the remodel! Not only did he complete it within the cost and time estimates, but the workmanship is first rate! I plan on calling him for other projects in the future, and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing any kind of remodeling work done for a very reasonable price and excellent results."

"I’m hired Zaque to paint my house (external). It is a cape cod w an extension w cedar planks. Zaque did an excellent job at each step - prepping, staining, oiling. I would hire him again to do the maintenance on the cedar planks in about 4-5 years. He’s extremely responsible and responsive. He was detail-oriented and answered all of my questions at each step."

"Crew is prompt, very experienced, clean, polite, hard working. They removed old paneling, installed drywall, replaced interior doors,refit all the trim woodwork, prime, and painted. The paneling and the new drywall are not the same thickness, so everything (doors, baseboard, crown moulding, light switches, plugs) had to be adjusted to fit. All the work was done quickly, professionally, and well. I'd call them back for any other work I have in the future."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Drywall can get wet and dry out without sustaining permanent damage, but only if the water damage is minor. If you have a small leak and are quick to correct the issue and set up blower fans and dehumidifiers, your drywall should dry out. If the leak is persistent, the drywall becomes totally waterlogged, or mold begins forming on the drywall, you should remove and replace it.

Yes, professionals often repair minor wall openings made for insulation injection to restore the surface.

Whether to repair or replace water-damaged plaster depends on the scale of the damage. For small, limited areas, you can often perform a repair yourself. If you choose to paint over small patches, ensure the surface is completely dry and apply a coat of antifungal primer first to prevent mold growth. However, simply painting or plastering over the damage is only a temporary solution that doesn't address the core problem. For more extensive or long-term damage, the plaster may be compromised, and there is a risk of mold. In these cases, it is recommended to remove the damaged section of plasterboard and replace it. You may consider hiring a professional for the repair, and it's worth noting that water damage is often covered by home insurance.

Whether Venetian plaster increases your home's value often depends on the buyer's preference. As a purely aesthetic upgrade, it doesn't add structural value in the same way a kitchen or bathroom remodel might. However, its beautiful and attractive appearance can make a home more appealing to potential buyers, possibly leading to more interest, higher offers, and increased competition when you sell.

Yes, you can install drywall over plaster, but there are important factors to consider. While it can create a smooth, flat surface, it is often not the best approach. Installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall's thickness, which can cause issues with existing window and door frames that may no longer fit. You might also need to adjust power outlets to keep them accessible. A better, though more expensive, option is to remove the old plaster and lath entirely before installing new drywall. Drywalling directly over plaster seals in the old material, and if any problems arise later, you will need to remove both layers down to the structural beams for repairs. Given the potential complications, this job is best handled by professionals.
