"Greg did an excellent job for us. I wholeheartedly recommend him for any of your drywall installations or repairs. We had hung most of the drywall, because thatâ s what I can do. He came and taped and muddled the walls before we painted, and finished our ceilings as well. The finished product is great!!!"

"They were fast and friendly. If you are having them do a drywall job where the walls will be textured I think they're great. I used them for walls that I wanted just flat but ready to paint and I had to go back and sand the walls and clean the floors where they left plaster splatter. They also missed a part that we had discussed them doing and had to come back. I asked them to fix the walls as well so it would be paint ready but I still had to sand. Maybe I'm a perfectionist so I still gave them 4 stars. I wouldn't use them again for that kind of job, but I would for textured walls. They were also flexible on the price with me which I really appreciated."

"Todd is very thorough. His ability to patch cracks in the drywall is superb. The project took a few days longer than I would have liked, but everything was done very well. I had him paint my ceilings, repair cracks, remove paneling and replace it with drywall, install a laundry room cabinet, and some little electrical jobs. He did a great job."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

It is possible to apply plaster on the interior or exterior of your home, but we don’t recommend it. Plaster is easy to apply in theory, but in reality, it can be a challenging material to work with, and it’s difficult to get the finished product to look clean, even, and smooth. Many DIYers end up calling in a professional afterward to touch up the area or even redo it entirely because of mistakes they made in the process. Hiring a plaster pro will cost more, but it’s usually the best option to achieve high-quality results.

Technically speaking, you can use drywall primer over plasters. However, oil-based primers work the most effectively on wall plasters. Meanwhile, water-based primers work just as well with drywalls. Nowadays, there are also universal primers suitable for drywall and plaster. Overall, you will be fine as long as you are using a trustworthy brand.

This depends on how much plaster is applied and in how many layers, but a decent estimate is around 150 square feet. If you are applying only two coats on a small wall, there is a chance you may only need one or two gallons for the entire project. If you are plastering a large living room wall with high ceilings, using one of the more involved techniques–like Scagliola–that requires several coats, expect the project materials costs to add up quickly. 

Drying alone can take 1 to 4 hours to dry to the touch per plaster layer, but some types of plaster take several hours longer to dry. However, this doesn’t mean the job is done because plaster doesn’t fully harden until it cures, which can take a few days to a couple of weeks. It may take even longer if you’re building a new, pretty thick plaster wall. Allow the plaster to cure before painting it.

You will be placing holes in the wall to hang the mounting bracket. If you’re mounting a large TV, the bolts in use could make significant holes around half an inch in diameter. Other than a few holes, though, the process of mounting the TV should not cause significant damage to the wall, unless you make an error and miss the wall stud, tearing out drywall. Should you decide to remove the mount later, the DIY drywall repair cost for a small hole usually is $10 to $30. It’s a repair you can do in a few minutes.
