"Very happy with Capital Drywall. And communicates well, schedules, the work effectively, and he and his team do excellent work. I’m so glad I found them. They did all the drywall finish work, priming, and applied ceiling paint for our new construction in law apartment. Not only did they save this DIYer a boatload of time and energy, but their results are far superior to anything I could have done. Be sure to hire Capital Drywall for all your drywall needs. You won’t be sorry. Worth every penny. Photo show progress on second skim coat."

"Kaydn repaired water damage in the ceiling. Sheetrock was replaced and it looks great. We really like doing business with Kaydn. He's polite, does what he says he's going to do, and was able to do the work quickly. We will continue to use him for other work."

"Great experience overall. My job was a messy historic renovation under time pressure. Rick's quote came in well under the others, and Rick was communicative, on schedule, did a good job, and stuck to his estimate. In addition, he had a good sense of humor and was creative in working around chimneys and other areas that could have been difficult. I would recommend him to anyone!"

"Rick did removed cabinets for us in the kitchen and put in new lighting. He also did a lot of work finishing our basement. He put up a ceiling, a wall, built us a custom wet bar and finished all the basement trim. His quality of work is excellent, he is so easy to work with and is very flexible. His prices are great too. We will be calling Rick again for all of our future projects!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Technically speaking, you can use drywall primer over plasters. However, oil-based primers work the most effectively on wall plasters. Meanwhile, water-based primers work just as well with drywalls. Nowadays, there are also universal primers suitable for drywall and plaster. Overall, you will be fine as long as you are using a trustworthy brand.

With its breathability and flexibility, lime plaster is among the most durable of all plaster types. It's also fire-resistant and has a proven track record, as people have been using it for thousands of years.

However, all plaster types will last for many years with the right care and treatment. Proper preparation and installation will also help ensure your plaster walls look great for as long as possible.

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.

Whether you need drywall anchors depends on your specific project, particularly where you are hanging an item. Drywall anchors are not necessary if you can drive a screw directly into a wooden stud behind the wall, as the stud provides sufficient support. However, since studs are not present everywhere in a wall, you will need to use drywall anchors if you are hanging an object in a location without a stud. For very lightweight items, picture hanging strips can also be a suitable alternative.

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