"David was very professional. A-grade work. He did what he said and blowed us away with an exceptional work. He is a must recruit for drywall. He was on time. Provided every detail before the work started and made sure the place to be clean after he completed. Definitely a 5 star."

"Angelo was fantastic, he came same-day to check out my project. He was insightful, curious, and was a huge help! His team came next day to fulfill and complete the drywall project and I could not recommend them more for projects in the Charlotte area. They were extremely friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable answering any questions I had thoughtfully and with patience. As a new home owner, I’ll continue to use Angelo and his team for all future projects!"

"Another great job by Dave from his team Cransten Handyman and Remodeling, we had a ceiling leak that had done some damage in our garage they removed all the molded things, took out the damage, replaced insulation, put up new drywall, and painted and all looks great again. I am very satisfied with their work, a very knowledgeable team. I recommend this company for having a professional worker!"

"Our experience with City Limits Construction was "Outstanding." We explained our issue with our Widows and drywall, that might have had mildew, and Nick knew exactly what it was and repaired our parlor and Dinning room. Very professional, within our budget, and completed the job in almost half the time allotted for the project. When Nick left our Home, the area was spotless, and No construction pieces or parts were left in our house. On-time when we made the appointment and super professional...knows his craft. We definitely will use City Limits Construction for many other project opportunities we might have to complete in the future. Highly Recommend them and their superb professional work. Marvin Love"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Plaster is denser, harder, and more porous than drywall, so it absorbs moisture differently. This means you’ll often need more prep work, such as thorough sanding, patching, and priming with a high-quality bonding primer. Additionally, you may need more coats of paint to achieve even coverage. While the process takes more time, it helps ensure a durable and professional-looking result.

If your home was built before the 1940s and was not remodeled in the past 50 or so years, you probably have plaster walls. Aside from assuming, there are some practical ways to tell if you have plaster walls, including the following: If you knock on the wall and it feels solid, not hollow, if you can’t insert a thumbtack easily, if there are cracks that look like spiderwebs, or if your home has curved, arched, or swirled walls, doorways, or window openings.

If you have an unfinished basement or attic, you could examine the backs of any finished walls to check, too.

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.

Plaster can be a difficult DIY to master, especially if you plan to plaster an entire room, rather than patch a small area. Before you begin a plaster DIY project, you need to know which tools and type of plaster to use. It's also important to know how to prepare the surface and apply the plaster for a smooth finish. If that all sounds like a lot of work, you may prefer hiring a local plaster repair contractor to do the job.

Which style of corner bead you choose—whether metal or paper-faced—depends on your preference and if you’re comfortable using metal-cutting tools and a hammer. Metal bead offers superior strength and durability but its installation is slightly more involved. We’d say for most cases, it’s better to use metal bead but if you’re not comfortable working with metal, paper-faced bead will work just fine.
