Wow! Thanks HomeAdvisor. Water Works presented the best sprinkler price of all proposals and they got it done in time. They installed the new system in half a day within a few weeks of the order. Since they provide the first winterization and startup, I look forward to seeing them again.

Plant Watering questions, answered by experts

It’s less costly to drywall a fireplace than shiplapping it since material costs are higher for shiplap. However, if you’re DIYing the project, shiplap is less expensive since you won’t have to pay for labor. With drywall, getting a smooth finish is difficult unless you’re a pro. Shiplap is ideal for an accent wall or unique space, such as around a fireplace, since it adds texture and gives off a cozy vibe.

Popular wall textures include orange peel, knockdown, spray sand, and smooth finishes. Orange peel and knockdown are particularly common choices for drywall as they are simple and cost-effective. Orange peel texture has a lightly bumpy surface resembling the skin of an orange, while knockdown (sometimes called knockout) looks like a stucco finish with flattened high spots. In contrast, popcorn texture has fallen out of fashion, partly due to its past association with asbestos and a shift toward more restrained interior design styles.

Knowing what causes drywall damage can help stop it before it starts. Here are some of the most common causes of drywall damage:

Water damage from roof leaks or leaky pipes.
Small holes caused by doorknobs, minor accidents, and rodent infestations.
Wall dents stemming from moving furniture and minor accidents.
Wall cracks that form from a settling foundation or seismic activity.
Nail pops from nails and screws in the walls.
Large holes that are caused by accidents with heavy objects, children and pets, or sporting equipment.

The cost to skim coat drywall is $1.15 to $1.35 per square foot. Most of the cost is labor, for the necessary skills to apply the skim coat with precision using high-quality tools. This is a job better left to the professionals for the best outcomes.

To maintain plaster walls, inspect them regularly for cracks and seal them early. Clean the walls by dusting regularly or using a gentle, damp cloth. It's also important to avoid moisture exposure. Repainting as needed will help maintain the wall's appearance and longevity.
