"Francisco & I negotiated the correct solution to repairing my dinning room wall, and we decided skimming the wall with a plaster slurry. It looks great, and Francisco was very diligent with the work! He completed it over several days and It looks fantastic! Thank You!"

Customers say: Quick response

"Palla Painting is far above any other contractor I have ever used. The response time to my inquiry was immediate, the owner scheduled me for the next day to look at the job and the job was completed a few days later. In this day and age it's hard to get a contractor to return a call, never mind actually follow through. Blerim from Palla Painting arrived today and he and his partner fixed cracks in the ceilings (one was ready to fall) in several rooms. They fixed peeling drywall tape and then then painted the kitchen, living room, foyer, hallway and 2 bedrooms. What an amazing job they did! Blerim and his partner were professional, efficient and friendly. The price was fair and the work done was outstanding. I highly recommend Palla Painting! Thank you Blerim!"

"Artie is not only pleasant to deal with, he is a pro that care about the the details. Our deck and siding work wer handled exceptionally well. I've hired Artie back again for more work. He's easy to communicate with and very responsive. Changes in mid project were done with a clear and professional manner. Unforeseen problems encountered along the way were pointed out and discussed. Working with Artie was a great experience and a good value."

"I purchased a 1968 mobile home that I was told was 'turn key' but it was very far from it. Ann and Craig came in to save the day after another contractor left me high and dry. They were efficient, friendly, open, quick to communicate and if plans needed to shift, they let me know. When I noticed something that needed to be changed, they did so easily without hesitation. They installed vinyl flooring (that has stayed true through every northeastern season), re-installed kitchen cabinetry, plumbing, lighting and have even helped with mouse remediation (blocking key entry points with creative solutions) I can't recommend them highly enough."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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 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.

Furring strips, thin strips of wood or metal, are not always required for ceiling drywall installation. If the ceiling surface is even and in good condition, drywall can be directly attached to the ceiling joists using screws. However, furring strips become essential when dealing with irregular surfaces or when additional insulation or soundproofing is needed. They create a level substrate for attaching the drywall. Ultimately, the decision to use furring strips depends on the condition of the existing ceiling and the specific requirements of the project.

Costs range from $500 to $5,000, depending on damage size, labor, and finishing requirements.

In many cases, installing new drywall will boost your home value. Replacing old, damaged, cracked, or wavy drywall is a great way to improve the look and feel of your home, as new drywall installed by a professional shouldn’t have any imperfections. Additionally, removing old drywall means you’ll have open walls, so you can install new insulation and address exposed issues with plumbing and electrical systems running behind the walls. All of these fixes will also add to your home’s value.
