"Hunter and Mavis repaired drywall damage and fixed cracks in the drywall and damage at the doorways. They are reliable, reasonable and flexible. They work with me on my schedule. Also, they kept me informed as they performed the repairs. I'm pleased with the job."

"Silas Drywall was very professional and worked very well under not so great conditions. Many changes had to be made on the fly thanks to the county inspector, but Silas rose to the occasion every time."

"Fred was extremely knowledgeable about and did a great job installing the faucets as well as fixing the drywall in my garage, patching a hole in the siding and cleaning my dryer vent. He will be installing a fan in my porch soon. His rates are very fair and he is personable and on time. I highly recommend Fred Buckles!"

"After a washing machine overflowed on our second floor, we were left with water leaking through our first-floor ceiling. Once the water mitigation was complete, we needed professional drywall and painting work. Mike Miranda and the team at Hole in the Wall showed up early to give us a quote, which turned out to be by far the most fair price we received. Mike gave me a clear date and time, and his team arrived early, exhibiting an excellent work ethic and top-tier professionalism. ​Their craftsmanship is so flawless that you honestly cannot tell where the damage originally was. Beyond the quality of the work, I felt completely comfortable having them in our house—everyone was incredibly friendly and genuinely cared about ensuring the final result met our expectations. This company will leave your home looking even better than its original state. I highly recommend Hole in the Wall for any drywall or painting needs!"

"The Cortesâ s power-washed our house, stained/sealed our screened in porch and pergola, and also painted our front porch. The work was completed on time and efficiently. The Cortesâ s did an excellent job, offered suggestions that improved the end result. We appreciated their expertise and definitely will reach out to them when we have painting projects in the future."

"We hired Keen Precision Drywall to finish our shed that will be used as a s/he shed, complete with electric. The shed is now ready for paint and decor and their work was impressive. They were always on time, communicating any issues that they ran into that were inevitably the fault of the builder. From the very beginning they were transparent with pricing and responsive to any questions we had even prior to being hired for the job. I would not hesitate to hire Kevin again for any other work at our home and we would happily refer them to others."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

You can usually tell if you have plaster or drywall by touch (plaster is harder, colder, and smoother than drywall) or by tapping on it (drywall sounds hollow, plaster does not). If you still cannot tell, peek under an outlet cover and check the cut edges. The rough edges show the composition of the wall. You will see either drywall (two paper sheets sandwiching gypsum material) or only plaster material (no paper sheets).

You can repair plaster ceilings yourself after the cause of the ceiling damage has been addressed. However, the repair can easily take 5 hours and can be slightly challenging for those without previous experience. If you do decide to flex your DIY muscle, have a helper to help hold the ladder and pass you the tools for safety purposes.

There are six levels of drywall finish, from 0 to 5, that refer to the amount of work performed during the finishing process.

Level 0: Drywall is hung with no finishing work.

Level 1: Tape is placed over the seams between drywall sheets.

Level 2: A thin layer of mud is applied over the tape and screw holes. This level is common for utility rooms or walls that will be covered.

Level 3: A full coat of mud covers the screw holes and tape, but the surface is not sanded. This is often used in garages.

Level 4: This is the most common finish for visible interior walls. It involves applying two coats of mud over seams and screw holes, with sanding between each coat, creating a smooth surface ready for flat paint.

Level 5: This is a high-end finish for luxury homes. It includes full taping, mudding, and sanding, plus a final skim coat over the entire surface before painting.

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.

Pros ensure smooth finishes and lasting repairs, avoiding visible patches.
