"They have been amazing to work with. They came out and gave me a quote and the next day they began work on the house. With a 4 year old house, I am getting nail pops and cracks all over the house - they took care of everything. Highly recommend!"

"I enjoyed working with Steve on my basement finish project. He was very flexible with our schedule. Even though it was a smaller project, he made us feel like it was important to him to do a good job. I would recommend Ceplecha Drywall and will definitely try and work with Steve in the future if I have more drywall needs."

"Si Fuentes/Pancho are great. Fast call back to bid the project. They showed up a few days later and finished the job inside of 2 weeks. This was drywalling a new room and blending in a room where I knocked down a wall. They went the extra mile in prepping the drywall all of the little imperfections from me hanging the drywall myself. Cleaned up the project site nicely. I would recommend for sure."

"Since we bought our house in March, we have dealt with many contractors. Jose & Angela are by far the most professional and honest among all of them. They took care of a drywall+door installation and a bathroom fan replacement. Among the 4 contractors we contacted for this, they were the only ones showing up in person to provide a quote. The others only asked for pictures to provide quotes. The quote from Jose & Angela was very reasonable. A couple of times, the project required some extra costs due to the specifics of the door and the fan we purchased. Jose was very transparent in motivating the additional costs and quickly updated our contract both times. At each step, we knew what we were paying for and why. The final job was absolutely high quality. Moreover, Jose and his team did all they could to minimize the impact of dust, etc, on the rest of the house. They will certainly be our first choice for any future work on the house that falls within their expertise."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Cracks, water damage, and holes from fixtures or impact.

You can paint over drywall mud about 24 hours after application, but the exact timing depends on factors like humidity, temperature, and the thickness of the mud. For the best results, ensure the mud is completely dry to the touch and has changed from a darker gray to a lighter, chalky white. Don’t forget to sand and prime the drywall surface before you paint to create a smooth, even finish.

There shouldn’t be any gaps between your walls and ceiling. These can be fixed with joint compound but that is only a fix, and it’s much better if your drywall fits correctly in the first place. Sometimes gaps can appear if your foundation shifts significantly but if this is the case, you have a much bigger problem than patching drywall.

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.

You should wait at least 24 hours for drywall mud to dry before sanding or applying another coat. However, the exact drying time depends on several factors, including the thickness of the application, room temperature, humidity, and the type of compound used. Thicker layers, or projects in high humidity, may require 48 hours or more. Lightweight compounds tend to dry faster than heavier, all-purpose ones. You'll know the mud is ready when it feels completely dry and firm to the touch and has changed to a consistent light color. Sanding too early can cause smudging or gouges, so patience is essential for a smooth finish.
