"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."

"Gary is very pleasant and professional to work with. Communication is great, pricing is fair and the quality of his work is top notch. The project he completed for me was taping/finishing the drywall in my 1500 sq ft 3 bedroom apartment with 9' ceilings. He was able to complete the job (and a few extra patches) in about 5/6 days by himself. Finished product is perfect and would definitely hire him again for any future work. Gary is very easy to work with and would recommend him to anyone looking for drywall work."

"Project: Drywall/Sheetrock Plastering Company: NE Plastering and Painting We hired NE Plastering and Painting to handle drywall and sheetrock plastering work in three separate areas of our home. Overall, we were very pleased with the experience from start to finish. The crew, led by foreman Nelson Hernandez, arrived on time, and they took great care to protect the surrounding areas — floors, furniture, and adjacent walls — before starting work. Their attention to detail during the job was clear, and the finished plastering came out smooth and professionally done across all three areas. We also obtained a few quotes before choosing this company, and their pricing was the most competitive, without sacrificing quality. Based on the professionalism, quality of work, and value, we'd absolutely hire NE Plastering and Painting again for future drywall or plastering projects, and we'd recommend them to anyone in need of this kind of work."

"Mr. Aponte is a true craftsman and professional. We needed a bedroom ceiling replaced and window framing, trim work done. Mr. Aponte reached out quickly and was able to visit us for a quote in a short amount of time. His pricing was very fair and he had a very creative solution to our problem. Mr. Aponte was an excellent communicator both on site and by phone. He always showed up exactly when he said he would. It was very much appreciated! Our ceiling is absolutely perfect. Now, you can’t tell that any work was done at all, and I am pretty picky. His craftsmanship is incredible. He also pointed out some problems that a different installer had made which allowed us to have our window re-insulated and waterproofed. That will save us so much money in heating costs and potential insect, water damage—he has a real heart for his clients and wants to make sure their house is perfect as possible. We will be hiring Mr. Aponte again for additional projects very soon, thank you so much!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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.

You should wait at least 24 hours for drywall mud to dry before sanding or applying another coat. However, the exact drying time depends on several factors, including the thickness of the application, room temperature, humidity, and the type of compound used. Thicker layers, or projects in high humidity, may require 48 hours or more. Lightweight compounds tend to dry faster than heavier, all-purpose ones. You'll know the mud is ready when it feels completely dry and firm to the touch and has changed to a consistent light color. Sanding too early can cause smudging or gouges, so patience is essential for a smooth finish.

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.

Look for flaking paint or air bubbles that burst and then flake away. Paint will begin to flake after being exposed to minimal moisture or water, so it’s a good indicator of any water damage. If you notice your paint starting to flake, feel the plaster underneath to see if it is soft or damp.

Applying spackle is a simple DIY project that most people can complete in just a few hours. Even homeowners who have little DIY experience can complete this project in an afternoon. However, if you're uncomfortable with the project or don't have the time, you can always hire a pro to help.
