"I recently hired H&M Contractor team to finish 1,500 sq.ft. basement - installing drywall, plastering/finishing, and painting. I am extremely pleased and satisfied with professionalism, quality, and communication. Crew was very hardworking and polite, they did outstanding work quickly and efficiently. Henry (supervisor) was very professional, prompt, on time, and reasonable on prices. He would stop by every day to inspect the progress, and would immediately take care of any issue. I also really liked his responsiveness - whenever I had a question, or needed his advice, he would immediately respond via text or would stop by and would answer all of my questions. I would not hesitate to recommend H&M Contractor LLC. Thank you, Henry!"

"Silas and his team are excellent. My mother is in her 80s and I have been looking for someone reliable and trustworthy. I don't live in the area and I needed someone that I could trust if I can't be there when the work is done. Silas is my guy. I have already discussed with him to remodel the bathroom. He will be my guy for all home repairs (large or small)."

"All Pro Painting did a fantastic job with the exterior of our house! They took it from the drab and outdated yellow it was when we bought it to the gorgeous gray-blue color we chose (after trying about a million samples from Sherwin-Williamsâ I have such a hard time making color decisions, LOL!). It was worth all my agonizing over the color though because once they got their professional hands on it and painted the house it looked awesome! Iâ m positive the main reason it looks so great now is because this crewâ s painting skills are absolutely phenomenalâ It just looks incredible, like a whole new house. I took a photo into Sherman Williams once it was finished because theyâ ve been helping me so much with the paint color choice and they were amazed. Everyone there was saying how it looked like it was right out of a paint catalog. Neighbors & friends have been stopping by just to make a point to say how beautiful it looks now. And itâ s just an average simple house, but it just goes to show you how a good paint job can really make a such a big difference! Weâ re so grateful to the awesome crew and to Wes for coordinating with our schedule (and being patient with me taking forever to choose a color!). They did the power washing and all the painting and it just looks awesome! The team doing the painting work over the couple days it took to complete the project could not have been nicer or more professional. They truly went above and beyond our expectations, and weâ re just so impressed with their finished work. Everyone we interacted with throughout this process was terrific, and above all, the outcome is fabulous! Highly highly recommend All Pro Painting!!!"

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

You can put certain types of plaster over other types, but doing so isn't always the best idea. For example, putting a coat of gypsum over lime plaster is possible, but doing so will limit the lime plaster's breathability and potentially affect its performance.

Since cement plaster tends to leave a textured surface, no matter how much you smooth it, some people prefer to use gypsum plaster as a topcoat over cement plaster, creating a smoother surface.

Costs range from $200 to $800, depending on the area size and damage severity.

While it is possible to repair minor plaster cracks or holes yourself, it is generally not recommended for larger jobs or if you want a professional result. Plaster repair can be difficult in practice; proper wall preparation and achieving a smooth, seamless finish that blends with the existing wall requires experience, especially on textured surfaces. Hiring a professional ensures the repair will be durable and last longer, potentially saving you money over time. A pro can also determine if the cracks are from normal expansion or a more serious underlying issue.

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.

Plaster that sags or bulges, shows extensive deep cracks, or is crumbling from water damage or simply time may need replacement. Plaster walls can look a little “worn” for a long time before they need replacing. The only real way to know if it needs a replacement is to hire a professional to assess the condition of the plaster.
