"I cannot recommend Sullivan Tile and Home Improvement highly enough! We have used Sullivan Tile and Home Improvement for two separate projects at our house now, and their quality and professionalism are consistently outstanding. We worked directly with Phil, and he is truly amazing. From the moment we started, the entire experience was stress-free due to his great communication. He was always clear, timely, and professional, ensuring we were aligned every step of the way. Phil's attention to detail is remarkable. He approached the project with the precision of a true craftsman, ensuring every cut, layout, and grout line was perfect. The amazing quality of the final work exceeded all of our expectations—it is absolutely stunning. I have already recommended Phil and Sullivan Tile and Home Improvement to several friends who are planning renovations. If you are looking for top-tier, reliable, and detailed home improvement, look forward to working with Phil. Highly recommend Sullivan"

I'm Jessica Smith, owner of P&J Home Ventures LLC. I've spent years working in real estate and property investment, and what I kept seeing was the same problem ? properties sitting stalled because owners couldn't find reliable, affordable help to get them into shape.\n\nSo I built a company around fixing that. We work with homeowners, landlords, and investors who need work done right, done fast, and done without the runaround. I understand properties from the buy-and-sell side, which means I know exactly what needs to be fixed to protect your investment and move it forward.\n\nMy approach is simple: show up, be honest about what the job needs, and deliver. No inflated estimates, no disappearing act after the deposit.\n\nIf your property needs work ? I'm your call.

"Mike and his crew did excellent work, they installed drywall, taped, mudded, primed, and painted a very spacious entryway, with high, vaulted ceilings, and oversized stairs leading down one side, and up the other. They installed new drywall over the walls, on the ceiling, and wrapped drywall around every exposed beam and column. The paint job afterward came out awesome, like a new house. We are extremely pleased with their work, and would recommend them to anyone, home or business, that needs drywall work, or painting. They also took down and rehung our ceiling fan and installed our new chandelier in the vaulted ceiling. This was a very challenging project, and they went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the job. I'm sure we will find more work for them to do elsewhere in the house in the future as well."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Plaster is denser, harder, and more porous than drywall, so it absorbs moisture differently. This means you’ll often need more prep work, such as thorough sanding, patching, and priming with a high-quality bonding primer. Additionally, you may need more coats of paint to achieve even coverage. While the process takes more time, it helps ensure a durable and professional-looking result.

The easiest way to remove texture from walls is the soak-and-scrape method. You’ll need to spray a section of the wall with water and let the water soak in and soften the texture. Then, you need to scrape the texture off using a drywall taping knife. This method works best with unpainted walls since paint prevents water from saturating the textured joint compound.

You can put drywall mud over paint to even out the surface or entirely resurface it. Sand the surface with 280-grit sandpaper, vacuum the debris and dust with a shop vac, and clean it with a slightly damp cloth. Allow the surface to dry. Apply drywall primer, especially if you’re skim-coating an entire wall. Apply the right type of drywall mud over the surface and smooth it with a trowel. Allow the layer to cure fully, then sand it before applying another layer or painting it.

Drywall tape is made of paper, while drywall mesh is made of fiberglass or metal. Drywall mesh patches are suitable for repairing small holes in drywall, while paper drywall tape holds a crease better for corners. You need joint compound to adhere drywall tape to the wall, while mesh patches may be self-adhesive.

If you already have plaster walls and ceilings, adding new plaster costs $2 to $10 per square foot. For an average-sized room, that would come out to $1,200 to $10,000. However, the cost to replace plaster with drywall is higher—running between $720 and $1,250 for a 10-by-8-foot wall or ceiling (not including drywall finishing).
