"Mr. Reinaldo was just awesome. Him and his partner did a great job on my floors in my basement. I had LVP flooring put in. They did all the work and cleaned up. I would recommend Me. Reinaldo in a heartbeat. BTW! Me and my wife are already looking at him to replace our carpet in the living room with LVP!!!"

"I’ve worked with this handyman on a variety of small projects, primarily electrical work, and have been consistently impressed. He’s reliable, knowledgeable, and handles each job with a high level of professionalism. Beyond electrical, he’s also helped with general repairs like patching drywall and light woodworking, and the quality of his work has always been solid. He communicates clearly, shows up when expected, and gets the job done efficiently without cutting corners. It’s hard to find someone this dependable who can handle multiple types of work well—I’d definitely recommend him for both electrical and general handyman needs."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Technically speaking, you can use drywall primer over plasters. However, oil-based primers work the most effectively on wall plasters. Meanwhile, water-based primers work just as well with drywalls. Nowadays, there are also universal primers suitable for drywall and plaster. Overall, you will be fine as long as you are using a trustworthy brand.

The tool you use to sand plaster will depend on the size of the project. If you’re just working on a small section of your wall to get rid of an uneven spot on the surface, hand-sanding might work. However, for larger projects, a drywall sander can make a huge difference when it comes to both time and elbow grease—and an orbital sander can help for detailed areas such as around ceiling fans.

Both plaster and drywall are durable wall finishes, but they differ significantly in installation, cost, performance, and aesthetics.

Installation & Cost: Drywall installation is faster and more affordable, typically costing $1.50 to $3 per square foot. It uses premade sheets, making it a more accessible DIY project. Plastering is a labor-intensive craft that requires specialized skills, pushing costs to $2 to $10 per square foot. It involves applying a wet paste over a lath framework.

Durability & Performance: Plaster is generally more durable, longer-lasting, and provides superior soundproofing. It is also a better insulator, which can help reduce energy costs. Drywall is easier to remove for future renovations.

Aesthetics: Drywall provides a smooth, uniform surface ready for paint or texture. Plaster offers a high-end, naturally textured look that can hide imperfections and is often preferred for achieving a classic or historic aesthetic.

Which is better? The choice depends on your priorities. Drywall is ideal for those prioritizing a lower upfront cost, faster installation, and DIY potential. Plaster is the better option for a higher-end project where durability, soundproofing, and a unique, premium finish are more important than the initial cost.

To hide drywall edges, you need to properly apply drywall tape and multiple layers of joint compound. These materials hide the seams between drywall sheets and fill the holes from drywall screws, leaving behind a smooth, flat finish to paint over. Apply joint compound smoothly, and finish the job by sanding the walls to make sure you fully hide drywall edges and other imperfections.

Costs depend on damage extent of damage, labor, finishing, and whether mold remediation is needed.
