"Jerry does really great work with drywall. This is the second job I’ve had him do where a ceiling needed to be repaired. Both times he did a great job! He keeps the mess contained and the repairs are just as clean."

"We were looking for a painter that could be trusted and do quality work the way we do in our own home. I found Al and Cliff through HomeAdvisor and the previous reviews were spot on. They were everything we wanted in a painter. Quality, attention to detail, timely communications before and every day of the job and making sure expectations were met throughout. Al and Cliff's work was above and beyond and they went the extra mile when others would have cut corners. Both were professional and care about the customer's satisfaction. We are happy we found Paint the Town and know we will go to them for more work in the future."

"Bryan came in to help repair a plaster dining room wall, which was torn out by plumbers who fixed a leak. He and his guys were incredible! Not only did they repair the wall that was torn out, they sparkled the rest of the uneven plaster walls and ceiling, repainted to perfection... it's a whole new dining room in my tiny old Roebling home. His crew cleaned up each time they worked so you couldn't even tell they had been there. Very respectful and hard-working guys. I can't recommend Bryan's Handyman and Home Improvement enough! In fact, I have about 5 more projects for him!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

The best way to make long, straight cuts is to use a utility knife and a T-square to score the sheet, snap along the score, and then finish the cut by cutting through the paper on the opposite side with the utility knife. If you’re making small cuts, curved cuts, or cutouts for electrical boxes or light fixtures, you can use a manual jab saw to keep costs down, but an electric spiral saw or oscillating multi-tool will get the cleanest, fastest cuts possible.

You should not leave drywall outside, especially overnight or in a wet, humid climate. Exposure to rain and humidity can damage the drywall, weakening its structural integrity and making it susceptible to mold growth. If you must leave drywall outside during a project, be sure to cover it with a tarp or keep it inside a storage shed to protect it. Even drywall intended for exterior projects requires a protective moisture barrier. For best results, store any extra drywall in a dry area away from the elements.

You should always hang drywall from the top down. Starting at the top makes it easier to create a straight, tight line between the ceiling and the wall. Any gaps that occur will be at the bottom, where they are easier to manage. You can either cut the bottom piece of drywall to fit the remaining space or cover the gap with baseboard trim. Additionally, starting at the top is physically easier, as you won't have to fit the top sheet into a tight space between the lower sheet and the ceiling, or try to balance the upper sheets on the lower ones while securing them.

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.

All plaster walls will crack over time due to normal house settling and expansion and contraction from temperature and moisture changes. Small, thin hairline cracks are generally not serious and are mostly a cosmetic issue. However, larger or more significant cracks can indicate structural problems.

Here's how to tell the difference:

  • Cosmetic Cracks: Cracks that are 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) or thinner are typically cosmetic.

  • Structural Cracks: Cracks wider than 0.5 cm, excessive or deep cracks, multiple cracks in the same area, or cracks that span around corners can signify a structural or foundation issue. Cracks along the joints where walls meet the ceiling also warrant attention.

For cracks wider than 0.5 cm, structural repair is needed. If a crack is 2.5 cm (1 inch) or wider, or if you notice any signs of a structural problem, it is best to contact a plaster repair professional to assess the damage.
