"This is the second time that I hire HR Tile. As always the service and professionalism HR Tile provides is second only to the quality of their work. The drywall in the upstairs of my home was extremely aged and cracking. There were numerous amounts of nail pops and visible cracks. They quickly identified the issue and offered me several solutions to alleviate the problem which were not only cost efficient but also provided long term relief of the problem. Also the attention to detail which HR Tile places on the work they perform is unmatched. My fiancée also really appreciated the fact that they leave the work space in a clean and orderly fashion reducing the amount of clean up required after the project is complete."

"Great work, very professional, friendly, and overall a pleasant gentleman to work with. Hired him to drywall two full bedrooms. Unintentional made him have to some framing due to work I did (sorry about that). He took it in stride.. Wish I could do half stars, I would give him 4.5 stars out of 5. The reason being, there was a drywall that wasnt installed in an out of sight part of one closet. I will easily install myself, but for transparency I thought I mention it. Would 100% hire him again if I have the chance."

"Arek and his team are top notch. They are professional, responsive and the quality of work they do is unmatched. I recently had them patch drywall holes and repaint. They did a great job with the patches and matching the paint. It was like the holes were never there. I would recommend them for any of your painting needs."

"Juan was the only person who actually listened to our problem and gave us a practical solution. He was friendly, reasonably priced and his work was well done. He installed a drain, poured concrete, cut and reinstalled drywall and fixed two foundation issues. I highly recommend Greenstone Waterproofing."

"I had drywall installed for about 4 rooms that needed to be completed after a terrible experience with another contractor who abandoned the job. I reached our to Overstate who came out to do the inspection quickly. They gave me a competitive quote and was very knowledgable during the consultation we had. They just completed the job and now my home looks refreshing. Their office was so supportive and kind during this process and all their workers very professional. Thanks to your team for the amazing job!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

You can plaster over regular drywall, but it's essential to prepare the surface properly. Before plastering, the drywall should be clean, free of dust, and any loose or peeling paint should be removed. Applying a primer specifically designed for plastering can improve adhesion. Some professionals recommend applying a base coat of plaster or joint compound to create a better surface for the plaster to adhere to. Proper preparation ensures a smooth and durable plaster finish over regular drywall.

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. 

You can usually tell if you have plaster or drywall by touch (plaster is harder, colder, and smoother than drywall) or by tapping on it (drywall sounds hollow, plaster does not). If you still cannot tell, peek under an outlet cover and check the cut edges. The rough edges show the composition of the wall. You will see either drywall (two paper sheets sandwiching gypsum material) or only plaster material (no paper sheets).

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.

Costs depend on labor, material quality, wall preparation, and finishing requirements.
