"John responded quickly when I called to drywall a couple of walls that had been damaged due to a water leak. He came over in a couple of days to give a quote and scheduled the work in the same week. He arrived promptly as per schedule and finished the work on time and professionally. Very happy with his promptness and professionalism and would definitely use again.

"John came out to my house the day after I requested an estimate. He gave me a reasonable quote and and the timeframe in which he would be able to start the work. His advise and communication allowed me to finish the required demolition right before he started the job. He showed up right on time with his co-worker and did an excellent job. When he ran into an unexpected issue he called me immediately and went above and beyond to solve the problem that could not have been foreseen. I was so happy with the work that I asked him to come back and drywall and plaster the stairway leading up to the bedrooms so that everything looked like new. We had already scheduled new carpet to be installed before he could start the second job. He was true to his word and showed up a couple weeks later and did another excellent job and we couldn't find one speck of dust on the new carpet when they were done. I would recommend to get an estimate from J&M before making a final decision on who you decide to hire."

"After posting the query on HomeAdvisor Gary was the first to call us and called very soon after I submitted the project. Leading up to this we had the unfortunate experience with the previous person who had assured us the drywall would be installed and paint-ready in June, and that four-plus months later hanging the drywall was still not complete, much less mudding and sanding. Gary came in and pulled everything together, repairing the drywall that was not hung correctly, putting up the remaining new drywall, and finishing the surfaces throughout the house to provide us with truly paint-ready surfaces. My wife and I are extremely pleased with the results and recommend Gary to anyone who wants to have their drywall walls and ceilings be the talk of the town -- and also the county."

"I had a fantastic experience with Tellez Plastering as my drywall contractor! Pedro was incredibly communicative, keeping me updated throughout the entire project. He was organized and made the process easy and stress-free. He even provided progress photos, which I really appreciated. Not only was he skilled and professional, but he was also very pleasant to work with. Highly recommend for any drywall needs!"

"Erick and his team did a fantastic job, snd fast. Our dining room walls and ceiling needed a lot of work to prepare for painting, including wallpaper removal and repairing plaster. They completed the whole job fast, and very thorough with attention to detail. They also did a great job cleaning up and managing dust/debris. I will definitely recommend them!"

Customers say: Quality work

"This was my first experience ever using home advisor. I signed up and was contacted within 5 minutes by Mike of AA ceilings, this was the only person who contacted me out of the 3 companies I picked from . He was very Knowledgable on the phone and came out to check out the job within days. He was very detailed when explaining everything in person and seemed like the right person so I went thru with him for the install . He assured me the ceiling would be commercial grade and came the next week for the install. Mikes team showed up half hour before schedule which was great and got to work right away. They exceeded my expectations and cuts were perfect arounds pipes and ceiling was a 10 out of 10. One of the most important things for me was when they were done they cleaned up and swept and you would not even know they were there. Would highly recommend them and look forward to working with them again in the future. Thanks again AA ceilings to Mike and his crew!!!"

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.

Both plaster and drywall are durable wall finishes, but they differ significantly in installation, cost, performance, and aesthetics.

Installation & Cost: Drywall installation is faster and more affordable, typically costing $1.50 to $3 per square foot. It uses premade sheets, making it a more accessible DIY project. Plastering is a labor-intensive craft that requires specialized skills, pushing costs to $2 to $10 per square foot. It involves applying a wet paste over a lath framework.

Durability & Performance: Plaster is generally more durable, longer-lasting, and provides superior soundproofing. It is also a better insulator, which can help reduce energy costs. Drywall is easier to remove for future renovations.

Aesthetics: Drywall provides a smooth, uniform surface ready for paint or texture. Plaster offers a high-end, naturally textured look that can hide imperfections and is often preferred for achieving a classic or historic aesthetic.

Which is better? The choice depends on your priorities. Drywall is ideal for those prioritizing a lower upfront cost, faster installation, and DIY potential. Plaster is the better option for a higher-end project where durability, soundproofing, and a unique, premium finish are more important than the initial cost.

Plaster can be a difficult DIY to master, especially if you plan to plaster an entire room, rather than patch a small area. Before you begin a plaster DIY project, you need to know which tools and type of plaster to use. It's also important to know how to prepare the surface and apply the plaster for a smooth finish. If that all sounds like a lot of work, you may prefer hiring a local plaster repair contractor to do the job.

Yes, you can apply new plaster over an existing plaster surface, such as a wall or ceiling, provided the old plaster is in good condition. Before you begin, check the stability of the existing plaster. The surface must be clean, free of loose material, and have no peeling paint. It is also recommended to roughen the surface slightly to promote adhesion. For older plaster, applying a base coat like a PVA emulsion or a specific bonding agent or primer is crucial. This step makes the existing plaster less porous and ensures the new and old layers adhere properly for a smooth, long-lasting finish.

Costs range from $500 to $5,000, depending on damage size, labor, and finishing requirements.
