"I contacted G&G Drywall to give me an estimate on repairing the ceiling in my family room. He came out the next day to give me the estimate for doing the room. The price was reasonable, so I added the living room ceiling. They arrived at 8:00 a.m. and proceeded to move and cover everything. By 2:00 p.m. they were in the process of cleaning up. I have never seen a contractor get on his knees to vacuum up every bit of insulation and dust they could see. I am so so very pleased with the work performed by Guy Graham and his crew. Polite, professional and I would recommend them to anyone looking for drywall service. They are definitely a cut above the rest!"

"Kevin with Local Handyman Pros recently remodeled my bathroom and I can’t recommend him enough. They replaced my vanity, toilet, lights, painted the walls, and did the flooring. I have used them for many projects over the years and have referred the company to others. From the start of the project, they were fast to respond, transparent, about pricing, and showed up on time. Best experience I have had with a service professional!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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. 

Applying plaster to a wall will usually cost between $2 and $10 per square foot for both the material and labor. The cost will vary based on the quality of the plaster you’re using and whether or not prep work is required before the work begins. Wall prep can add up to about 10% to your total costs. Plastering exterior walls can be more expensive in many cases because they are taller and require scaffolding and safety equipment.

There are a few ways to figure out if your walls are plaster or drywall, but the pushpin method is probably the easiest option. To try it, choose a part of your wall where you can insert a pushpin or thumbtack without leaving an obvious mark. If it goes in easily, you have drywall. But if the wall is tough to penetrate, that’s plaster.

The best tool for skim coating drywall is a skim coating blade, which can smooth out joint compound in wide stretches. While you could use a smaller drywall knife for skim coating, the smaller size means it’ll take longer to smooth out each section. Instead, consider investing in a skim coating blade for the quickest application.

You should stagger drywall sheets to help prevent cracking. The joints between drywall sheets are the weak spots, so if you install drywall with seams aligned, you’ll create weak lines that run across the length of the wall and extend from floor to ceiling. But when you stagger drywall, the solid sections of panels will support the joints. This can prevent seams from cracking or separating due to fluctuating temperature and humidity, vibrations from movement inside the home, and gravity.
