"In summary I have to say Richard was  excellent!  He came when he said he would and finished the work when he said it would be finished.  As I solicited multiple bids for the work NE Renovations was among the most competitive.  As the work was completed I was so pleased I ended requesting he come back to do additional jobs.  He was very accomadating and even explained various options on how best to accomplish the additional work.

"Greg was very accommodating with my schedule, which kept changing due to work.  He arrived on time and started working right away.  He ran into some trouble with our 150 year old construction and worked until 7:00 PM that day.  Unfortunately for him, he didn't finish, but he came back right away the next morning.  I wasn't able to be there, but we felt comfortable leaving him a key.  He let himself in, finished the job, and cleaned up.  The room was in almost perfect condition.  Greg was very creative in wiring the lights so that he didn't' have to create holes in the walls or ceiling.  There are a couple of patches that we will have to spackle and repaint, but that's to be expected given the type of work done and that the deal said that it didn't include drywall repair. I was worried that that meant he would haphazardly put holes in the walls and leave them gaping open, but he certainly didn't do that and he repaired what he did do to my expectations.  
The lights look absolutely amazing - the room is so much more comfortable with the dimmer option and the recessed lights look so good we are considering them for other rooms in the house.  
Another plus - Greg was really good with the dog and friendly to me.  Sometimes it can be uncomfortable to have another person in your home, but Greg was very pleasant.

"The installers of the wallboard were quick and efficient. Did a great job hanging in our new 16 x 32 family room. Even with some of the patch work in other areas of the house they ensured the surrounding wallboard had screws to adequately cover the area before the taper came in. The man that taped and mudded was a true professional. His corners and seams are clean and overall the expertise of the entire crew was exceptional. I would certainly hire this company again."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

While every home has its own unique needs, ceiling drywall installation typically follows a staggered or stepped pattern to enhance structural integrity and reduce the visibility of seams. Starting from one corner, sheets are placed perpendicular to the ceiling joists, with the ends of adjacent sheets meeting along the center of the joist. The next row begins with a half sheet, ensuring joints don't align vertically. This alternating pattern, combined with proper taping and mudding, creates a seamless appearance and strengthens the ceiling structure, minimizing the risk of cracks over time.

Glass walls are more expensive overall than their brick or drywall counterparts. However, if you need walls for a building with more than two or three stories, glass walls are the more budget-friendly option.

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.

There are six levels of drywall finish, from 0 to 5, that refer to the amount of work performed during the finishing process.

Level 0: Drywall is hung with no finishing work.

Level 1: Tape is placed over the seams between drywall sheets.

Level 2: A thin layer of mud is applied over the tape and screw holes. This level is common for utility rooms or walls that will be covered.

Level 3: A full coat of mud covers the screw holes and tape, but the surface is not sanded. This is often used in garages.

Level 4: This is the most common finish for visible interior walls. It involves applying two coats of mud over seams and screw holes, with sanding between each coat, creating a smooth surface ready for flat paint.

Level 5: This is a high-end finish for luxury homes. It includes full taping, mudding, and sanding, plus a final skim coat over the entire surface before painting.

Textured walls are a great way to hide imperfections left over by drywall installation, but many homeowners feel like it’s an outdated look, despite there being so many types of drywall texture. And while the textured walls of today are a far cry from the popcorn ceilings and faux stucco of our grandmother’s homes, if you want a more modern look or you want to install wallpaper, it’s time to smooth out your walls.
