"Great experience with Rene' Advanced Drywall. Got what I felt was a fair price for the drywall repairs I needed done. Rene came by and made the repairs in an hour! The job was handled very professionally and Rene was a pleasure to work with. I'm very satisfied with the results, and there is no doubt in my mind about recommending him to others or calling him again for another job. Thank you!""

"It was perfect. Robert is wonderful and an artist with drywall. He did a fantastic job and my wall is like brand new. You cannot see any evidence of the prior damage/holes. He was quick and efficient and cleaned up completely when he was finished. He also changed an outdoor lightbulb for me in the rain (required getting on a ladder) and helped me assess how to fix some kitchen cabinets that have been giving me a hard time. He is very nice and does great work. I would definitely recommend him and will use him again."

Customers say: Super punctual

"We were extremely happy with the plaster work did for us. Greivin first visited to check the job and provided a very reasonable estimate the next day. We scheduled the work for a week later. Greivin and his assistant showed up on time. They were very professional and friendly. The work area was cleaned to our satisfaction, and the ceilings were left ready for painting as agreed. We highly recommend JNA Contractors LLC for any plaster/drywall work."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Damp plaster does dry out, although the drying time depends on several factors, including the type of plaster, the surrounding temperature, moisture content, and the extent of the dampness. Sometimes, it can take weeks or months for wall plaster to dry naturally.

Whether to repair or replace water-damaged plaster depends on the scale of the damage. For small, limited areas, you can often perform a repair yourself. If you choose to paint over small patches, ensure the surface is completely dry and apply a coat of antifungal primer first to prevent mold growth. However, simply painting or plastering over the damage is only a temporary solution that doesn't address the core problem. For more extensive or long-term damage, the plaster may be compromised, and there is a risk of mold. In these cases, it is recommended to remove the damaged section of plasterboard and replace it. You may consider hiring a professional for the repair, and it's worth noting that water damage is often covered by home insurance.

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.

Yes, you can hammer a nail into a wall stud. But before you do, it’s important to confirm that you’re actually nailing into a stud—and not wiring, pipes, or ductwork. To check, find a few more studs in the wall, then measure to make sure they’re either 16 or 24 inches apart.

Only use spackle on plaster walls when the imperfection is small. It’s best used for nail holes or small dings in the plaster. Spackle dries quickly, allowing you to continue the repair process shortly after using it. Plaster can be tricky to repair, though, so if you run into issues, call a pro so that you don’t risk further damage.
