"Vasyl did a great job with the drywall in my shed that required lots of cuts to finish the wall around my workbench. I had him back to finish some projects in my basement as well. Oh i shouldnt forget the damage he repaired on two unrelated walls. Great work and great price! Arrived each day and finished each project on time and as promised."

"Mark and his crew were quick and professional, we were able to do our popcorn ceiling removal completed within 1 week for the whole house. I also asked him about another project and he was able to provide me a quote the next business day. Will definitely work with him for my next project."

"Brennan was professional and prompt.  He did an excellent job painting the bedroom and ceiling.  It was done professionally and in one day.  Both my husband and I were pleased with the painting he has done for us and will continue to use him in the future and recommend him to our friends."

"I highly recommend IDF drywall. My house was built in 1904 and we modernized the kitchen, dining are and added a main level bath. Lots of old broken plaster to match up. Isaac and crew did a phenomenal job. The place looks so good. We’re very pleased! Thank you!"

"Alonso and team were fantastic! They arrived within a few days of confirming the project and did an excellent job repairing our cracked ceiling and adding a knockdown ceiling. I even called them back for another small job given how well they completed the first one."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Although they have similar applications, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Their primary differences lie in their composition, consistency, and ideal use cases.

Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it thicker than joint compound. It dries quickly and is easy to sand, which makes it ideal for small wall repair projects like filling nail holes or patching minor damage.

Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum. It is primarily used for large-scale projects, such as taping and finishing the seams on newly installed drywall. It tends to shrink more than spackle and can be more difficult to spread.

While both products can be used to fill small depressions and cracks, spackle cannot replace joint compound for taping and mudding new drywall. Conversely, you can often use joint compound for small patching jobs typically done with spackle.

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.

You can put certain types of plaster over other types, but doing so isn't always the best idea. For example, putting a coat of gypsum over lime plaster is possible, but doing so will limit the lime plaster's breathability and potentially affect its performance.

Since cement plaster tends to leave a textured surface, no matter how much you smooth it, some people prefer to use gypsum plaster as a topcoat over cement plaster, creating a smoother surface.

In most cases, plaster repair will improve your home’s energy efficiency because a solid barrier of the insulative material helps keep conditioned air inside your home. Major plaster repair jobs like repairing large cracks or crumbling sections of plaster or applying a skim coat might make a noticeable difference in your heating and cooling bills. Not only can plaster repairs improve efficiency, but they can also reduce strain on your HVAC equipment, potentially saving you money on maintenance and repairs.

If your home was built before the 1940s and was not remodeled in the past 50 or so years, you probably have plaster walls. Aside from assuming, there are some practical ways to tell if you have plaster walls, including the following: If you knock on the wall and it feels solid, not hollow, if you can’t insert a thumbtack easily, if there are cracks that look like spiderwebs, or if your home has curved, arched, or swirled walls, doorways, or window openings.

If you have an unfinished basement or attic, you could examine the backs of any finished walls to check, too.
