"Very reasonable price, responsive to requests, timely repair, friendly crew, use of drone to see both damage and results of work, and ease of communication with company foreman and owner. Drywall repairs after roof replacement completed made it appear the damage never happened! Very impressive service!"

"He arrived on time and went right to work. We are both extremely happy with his work and would not hesitate to hire him again. He came back the next day put put a second coat of paint on he door that he made and installed. It looks like it was put on by the builder. Very nice and personable young man. We even took him out to lunch with us when he had finished."

"Perfectly. Looks as though it was always there. I love it. All of the work was well thought out and communicated to us before any work was started. They are so detail oriented that they included all the details, inside and out, that we did not thick to mention in our request. Below are pictures I took which are not the greatest. Believe me that the work is fantastic and if we need any work done in the future we will be contacting Henry and HMR Contracting for it. We have not had a lot of work of this type done before, but we thought the price was more than fair. Like I said before, they will be our contractor of choice from here on out."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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.

You should wait at least 24 hours for drywall mud to dry before sanding or applying another coat. However, the exact drying time depends on several factors, including the thickness of the application, room temperature, humidity, and the type of compound used. Thicker layers, or projects in high humidity, may require 48 hours or more. Lightweight compounds tend to dry faster than heavier, all-purpose ones. You'll know the mud is ready when it feels completely dry and firm to the touch and has changed to a consistent light color. Sanding too early can cause smudging or gouges, so patience is essential for a smooth finish.

This depends on how much plaster is applied and in how many layers, but a decent estimate is around 150 square feet. If you are applying only two coats on a small wall, there is a chance you may only need one or two gallons for the entire project. If you are plastering a large living room wall with high ceilings, using one of the more involved techniques–like Scagliola–that requires several coats, expect the project materials costs to add up quickly. 

It’s not a good idea to plaster over broken plaster (unless by broken you’re referring to cracked, in which case that’s perfectly fine). However, broken plaster can be a sign of a larger underlying issue like foundation damage or severe damage to the lath holding up the plaster, so it’s worth investigating before you simply plaster on top of the damage.

You can paint over plaster, but repair any damage to the plaster first, or the paint will crack and bubble. You should also prepare the surface of the plaster to accept paint, which gives your paint job the best chance of looking good and lasting a long time. Before applying the color you want, apply a coat or two of primer. Additionally, use latex paint, and choose a latex paint with a satin finish for areas with dampness, like bathrooms.
