"Danny did a phenomenal job repairing the ceiling drywall in both my kitchen and dining room & then painting both ceilings. He was very careful when moving furniture & making sure all cabinets & wall hangings were all completely covered. Was courteous & personable from start to finish; his reasonable & fairly priced estimate did not break the bank! I will definitely call him for any other jobs in the future."

"I hired Gibbs Painting to make some drywall repairs following a kitchen remodel and had them paint the ceiling in two different rooms. My interaction with them was very professional. From the estimate to the completion of the work, everything went very well. They completed the work In the amount of time they stated, left the house in excellent condition, and the on-site team was very easy to work with. I would hire them again to do work inside my house and would recommend them to others."

"I initially hired Camilla and her team to replace my deck and fix some rotting wood siding on the back of my home. As luck would have it, 2 days after I hired them, I had a pipe burst inside my dining room wall. Camilla came out that same evening and was there until almost 9:00 pm to get the situation under control. Over the next week and a half, her team fit me into their schedule (often working evenings), to get the problem resolved and fix the damage. I was really impressed (and relieved) by their quick response and thoroughness. They even fixed up some old, unrelated drywall damage that I had just never got around to repairing. And I am also very happy with the job I actually hired them for – my deck and siding. Solid construction and good attention to detail. Camilla was very responsive, answered all my questions without talking over my head, and always explained her reasoning – there were no surprises. Her team was always on time, and actually finished ahead of schedule. Pricing is not the lowest you will find out there, but it is VERY reasonable for the dedication and quality of work you will receive. Dreamville will be on my speed dial for any future problems or projects I have!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

The short answer is yes, a sagging plaster ceiling is dangerous. Sagging plaster on a wall is something you should fix immediately, but it isn’t a major concern. If the same type of sagging occurs on a ceiling, however, you could be in danger of your ceiling falling in large chunks. When plaster sags, it loses its strength and ability to hold itself up. The bonds that hold it together are strong, though, so if a sagging area falls, it will take large pieces down with it.

Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.

Mudding drywall is a DIY-friendly project, but patience and practice are required for perfection. If you’re working in a highly visible area and want the best possible finish, hiring a professional drywaller is worth the cost. Pros have the tools and know-how to ensure a smooth surface with fewer sanding sessions and less cleanup.

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.

There are a few ways to figure out if your walls are plaster or drywall, but the pushpin method is probably the easiest option. To try it, choose a part of your wall where you can insert a pushpin or thumbtack without leaving an obvious mark. If it goes in easily, you have drywall. But if the wall is tough to penetrate, that’s plaster.
