How do I know if my plaster needs replacing?

• <div><p>Plaster that sags or bulges, shows extensive deep cracks, or is crumbling from water damage or simply time may need replacement.

Q: How do you fill bad plastering?

• <div><p>If the holes in the plaster are small, you can fill them with layers of patching plaster until they&rsquo;re filled. After it dries, you can sand the plaster and paint over it. If the hole is much larger, consider using bonding plaster first and then a layer of patching plaster, completing the process with sanding and a layer of paint. </p></div>

Q: What is the best tool for skim coating drywall?

• <div><p>The best tool for skim coating drywall is a skim coating blade, which can smooth out joint compound in wide stretches. While you could use a smaller drywall knife for skim coating, the smaller size means it&rsquo;ll take longer to smooth out each section. Instead, consider investing in a skim coating blade for the quickest application.</p></div>

Q: How do you fix a small hole in drywall without a patch?

• <div><p>If you only have tiny holes in your drywall (for example, dents or nail marks), you probably won&rsquo;t need a patch kit. Instead, you can plug the hole with a small amount of spackle. Once the spackle dries, you can sand the area and paint over it&mdash;just like you would in the steps outlined above. </p></div>

Q: Is it possible to rewire a house without removing any drywall?

• <div><p>Yes, it is possible to rewire a house without removing the drywall, but this doesn&rsquo;t work in all homes. You can pull out old wires and insert new ones if you have access to the wiring system via the ceiling or through a crawl space. Some pros can also use a magnetic kit to fish the old wire out of the wall through a hole cavity and install the new wires. Just keep in mind that doing this is less stable than removing drywall, as you won&rsquo;t be able to staple the wires into the framing.</p></div>

Mariano was very professional and did an excellent job. He was hired for the concrete slab for the foundation for our home and we asked him to return to do the drywall on a separate building we built. Both projects turned out excellent and we plan on using this company for any future projects.
