"Richard and his team did a great job resolving my issue. Richard was prompt in responding to my initial request for information. He called me within a few hours of receiving the note that I sent to him via Angie's list. We spoke first thing the next morning and quickly scheduled a visit. Richard not only shared his expertise to explaining what he thought the problem was and how to resolve it. He also pointed out that I may have coverage via my homeowner's insurance, something I hadn't considered. He called his insurance expert on the spot and gave me advice on how to handle a claim. Richard came out to meet with me and the underwriter and helped me get through that process. He started work very quickly thereafter and had the entire project done within a week; plumbing, drywall, painting and all. I'd use him again for any future work I need done."
"Right from the beginning, Greg has been very professional in the way he scheduled the work at our place, and the way he and his team has handled the project. We have a large bedroom in which we planned to installed the recessed lights. The deal advertised on Angie's List is very attractive (by far the best deal) with the only caveat that drywall repair is not included in the service. We were a bit concerned, and hoped that nothing will be damaged in this process. We are quite relieved that the project ended successfully with no painful issues. The work has started at 9 AM (yes, Greg has shown up on time at the work place!) and ended just before 11 AM. They have cleaned-up after the work, and the room is very bright with the newly installed beautiful lights. With no reservation, I recommend this provider for electrical services such as installation of new lights. "

There are several things you should not do when installing drywall. Common mistakes include: adding too many screws, over-sanding, not adding backing support, and installing drywall unevenly. You also should avoid screwing into the same place twice, installing Sheetrock with tapered edges on the outside, and making too many joints.
Applying plaster to a wall will usually cost between $2 and $10per square foot for both the material and labor. The cost will vary based on the quality of the plaster you’re using and whether or not prep work is required before the work begins. Wall prep can add up to about 10% to your total costs. Plastering exterior walls can be more expensive in many cases because they are taller and require scaffolding and safety equipment.
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.
In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.
You’ll want to inspect your plaster walls for signs of damage before painting. If you notice soft spots, deep cracks, bubbling, or areas where the plaster is crumbling or pulling away from the wall, it likely needs repair. While small hairline cracks are common and likely cosmetic, you should address larger issues before painting to ensure a quality, smooth finish.
