"Mario Osorio and his team really blew me away with the recent house exterior painting job they did for me. Not only did he quote me the lowest, fairest price of the 5 companies I received bids from, but he delivered on every single detail we outlined in the contract, from refinishing our front door to using some of the highest quality paint products available (Sherwin Williams Emerald). I was impressed by how thorough and thoughtful their preparations were, from recaulking and repairing windows/siding to removing and replacing downspouts and yard decorations that I forgot to move myself, and covering outdoor speakers and security cameras. They were very courteous, friendly, professional, and completed the work in a timely manner. To say that they are very hard workers who take great pride in the quality of their work is an understatement. I am recommending him to everyone I know who is in need of professional paining services, and I am definitely going to be calling Mario again when it’s time to paint the interior of my house. Bravo, Mario!!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.

Beadboard is a decorative element and lacks the structural integrity of drywall. It cannot hold much weight and is not meant to be used as an insulator or moisture barrier, like drywall is. In almost all cases, beadboard is placed over an existing wall surface which, in modern days, is usually drywall, but decades ago could have been wood paneling.

How you hang the drywall can affect the finishing process. It's often easier to finish horizontal drywall panels, as the seams run across the wall rather than up and down. Standard drywall panels are 48 inches wide, so the seam is easy to reach without bending down or stretching your arms.

The time it takes for thinset to dry is determined by your room’s ambient temperature and humidity levels. Assuming the average humidity level is around 40% with an average temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit, thinset can dry within 48 hours. Lower temperatures and higher humidity can extend the curing process beyond 72 hours, while high heat and zero humidity can shorten the curing process. However, thinset can crack if it dries too fast.

Plaster itself has a higher R-value than drywall. However, there are other considerations surrounding plaster and insulation. As a general rule, it's easier to obtain consistency in insulating value and quality when working with drywall rather than plaster. Plaster walls often don't contain any insulation behind the wall covering by design, and careful evaluation is necessary when choosing to add it.
