"Dennis had previously painted the exterior of our home, and we knew we wanted him back when these two small projects in our home arose.

Dennis and his crew redid the drywall and repainted the ceiling in our office after a bath tub seal cracked.  This involved cutting out the drywall around a ceiling fixture and replacing it.  After they had finished, the repair was perfectly blended into the texture of the ceiling.  Really nicely done.

The second part of the job involved refinishing the 90 year old wooden sills in our living room.  The never-painted sills are beautiful hardwood, but over time (and in one case, the former owner had allowed some weather damage to occur) they had lost their finish and looked bad.

This is the kind of craftsmanship project that Dennis just seems dedicated to doing really well.  The wood of the sills was so hard and so completely cured, it was a challenge to get the new stain and poly-coat to properly take; Dennis came over four times to apply extra coats/top coats.  The result is wood with a deeply burnished, beautifully silkily finished texture. 

The final result looked a lot better than I had expected--more like the care a homeowner would take on their own home if they really knew how to apply the products.  All the sills are beautiful now and match perfectly, this was NOT the case when Dennis started working on the job.

Dennis is so dedicated, he does have one area of weakness: when he makes his bids, he has a tendency to underestimate the work hours necessary.  This is largely owing to his willingness to "go the extra mile" rather than simply slap up paint and presume the homeowner won't notice that he's ignored some complicating factor.  By the time he had applied the third coat of sealer, I was satisfied--but Dennis didn't like how the product was taking on the extremely dense wood and scheduled an extra visit to do the extra coat without my asking for it.  And he was right--that last coat made all the difference in really making the sills look beautiful and "pop" (in a good way!).

I love working with Dennis--wish I could find repair people/craftsmen like him in all the service areas I need!"

"Daren returned my call promptly, his bid was competitive and they did a great job. Daren and his crew are all very professional and they cleaned up after themselves each day. When they finished at the end of the week there was no evidence they had been here other than my freshly painted trim. They did a high quality job and were a pleasure to work with."

"We had a dryer vent that had ruptured more than 1 seam due to a dryer repair.  The vent ran across the lower level ceiling along the floor joists.  Due to the solid ceiling in the lower level multiple holes needed to be cut to repair the vent.  JC Drywall was contacted to quote on the repair of the ceiling and to match the texture of the current ceiling.  Jim was prompt and courteous in the quote process.  The quote was itemized and detailed.  Due to some timing issues it was many months until we were able to fix the ceiling.  Jim recalled the quote and was able to get us an updated quote based on increase in potential supply needs.  We set up a timeframe for the repairs.  Jim arrived on the scheduled date, he put plastic down and hung up plastic barriers to the rest of the home, used drop clothes to keep the carpets and stairs clean.  The repairs took 1 day longer than anticipated as the drywall compound did not dry as anticipated.  The ceiling looks great and there is no visible signs of the holes that were cut.  Jim did a very good job.  Jim was also came in under the quoted price.  The only category that we couldn't give an outstanding rating to was punctuality.  Each day Jim was slightly behind the time quoted to arrive, however it wasn't a major issue to us, and we would recommend JC Drywall for other Drywall needs."

"This turned out to be quite a large project. Paul Kothrade kept us informed throughout the entire project of how the scope was developing, and was very clear with the choices we could make at each step. He was also very good at listening to our ideas and plans, and working collaboratively with us - we developed a high level of trust. Everything happened when he said it would, and the quality of workmanship was very high at a reasonable cost. We are very happy with the work he did."

"They were very quick to respond to our issue - which was a leaking pipe in our basement. I tried a number of companies and they were the first who could respond. They were able to quickly identify the problem and when they felt the plumbing issue was more than they could handle, they let me know right away. Thus, we had to get a difficult company to take care of the plumbing issue but they came back to do quite a bit of drywall repair. They did a great job, were on time and did a nice job cleaning up when they were done. We were very happy with the job they did"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

The cost to repair a ceiling after a water leak can vary, with averages ranging from $419 to $1,359, or $45 to $55 per square foot. Smaller patches may cost around $150. The final price depends on the size of the affected area and the extent of the damage. Remember that you will also need to repair the source of the leak, such as roof damage or a plumbing issue, which can cost an additional $200 to $1,550. Depending on the situation, you might also face costs for repainting or repairing floors. For an accurate estimate, it is best to get a quote from a professional.

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.

Wondering who to call for ceiling repair? While you can hire a handyperson to fix minor cracks, you’ll want to hire a drywall professional for larger issues. Depending on the cause of the crack, you may need to hire other contractors, such as a foundation contractor, mold remediation company, roofer, or plumber near you.

Common causes of ceiling cracks along drywall seams include poor drywall installation techniques, structural issues, truss uplift, and foundation problems. Temperature and humidity also play major roles in ceiling cracks flush with the wall. As the drywall shrinks and expands from major temperature changes or extreme humidity shifts, this can cause the drywall to crack.

Plaster is a pretty tough surface, but it can still sustain damage from things like bumping against it, water issues, dampness, extreme humidity changes, and plain old age. Most plaster walls last hundreds of years and will only be taken down to the base layer when major repairs are required. Being cautious around the wall, not placing furniture against it, and ensuring stable humidity are all great ways to reduce possible damage.
