Can a handyperson fix a hole in the wall?

• <div><p>It depends on the construction of your wall. Most handypeople can fix small holes in drywall. If your wall is plaster or brick, more significant damage may require a drywall contractor or a mason. Hiring a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-are-common-handyman-prices.htm">handyperson costs</a> less than a more specialized type of contractor, but they’re not trained in all types of wall repairs.</p></div>

How do I know if my plaster needs replacing?

• <div><p>Plaster that sags or bulges, shows extensive deep cracks, or is crumbling from water damage or simply time may need replacement. Plaster walls can look a little “worn” for a long time before they need replacing. The only real way to know if it needs a replacement is to hire a professional to assess the condition of the plaster.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to repair a ceiling?

• <div><p>How long it takes to repair a ceiling depends on the extent of the damage. Patching a small hole might only take a few minutes, while repairing a water-damaged section of the ceiling could take hours. If there are structural issues, expect your ceiling repair to take several days or longer. </p></div>

Q: Is drywall better than plaster?

• <div><p>Drywall can be better than plaster if you&rsquo;re installing a new wall and want to keep costs low. It&rsquo;s much cheaper than installing plaster and provides a smooth, uniform surface. Many homeowners simply paint over the drywall or add a texture like sand or orange peel. It&rsquo;s also much easier to DIY than plaster, and if you need to change your layout, it&rsquo;s much easier to remove.</p></div>

Q: Is drywall compound the same as spackle?

• <div><p>Although their applications are very similar, no drywall compound and spackle are not the same thing. Spackle is a bit thicker and is used to patch holes as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. Joint compound shrinks a bit more and can be more temperamental to spread. However, one benefit is that you can use joint compound as spackle (for small jobs), but you can&rsquo;t use spackle as joint compound. </p></div>

"These guys went above and beyond with the customer service and the quality of work. They show up on time (most of the time early), they do the work they say theyâ ll do and they finished ahead of schedule. Thatâ s just not something people do anymore.

"Any Altitude Home Improvement handled my drywall project from start to finish — installation, texturing, and painting — and the results were absolutely flawless. The owner personally came out for the estimate, and I had a clear, set price by the end of the same day. Scheduling was quick, and the work itself was completed efficiently and with incredible attention to detail. They left no mess behind — just perfect, brand-new-looking walls. The professionalism was top-tier, the pricing was more than fair, and the transparency throughout the process was refreshing.
