"I recently hired Jason to work on my porch ceiling, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Jason did an excellent job from start to finish. He was very polite and always dressed appropriately for work. He arrived prepared with all the necessary tools and supplies, making the process smooth and efficient. I highly recommend Jason for any home improvement projects—his professionalism and attention to detail truly set him apart."

"Brian impressed me on first meeting as an honest contractor. He has proven to be one. He and his helper, Mark, are also friendly and careful about their work. They clean up after themselves and are very considerate about my time constraints. I have appreciated his input in my ongoing project and I trust his judgement when it comes to purchasing my supplies. I have finally found a contractor I can trust and I hope to be able to engage his services for other jobs in my home."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Plaster can be a difficult DIY to master, especially if you plan to plaster an entire room, rather than patch a small area. Before you begin a plaster DIY project, you need to know which tools and type of plaster to use. It's also important to know how to prepare the surface and apply the plaster for a smooth finish. If that all sounds like a lot of work, you may prefer hiring a local plaster repair contractor to do the job.

Options include bricks, natural stone, and concrete blocks. Choose based on durability, aesthetics, and budget.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

Technically speaking, you can use drywall primer over plasters. However, oil-based primers work the most effectively on wall plasters. Meanwhile, water-based primers work just as well with drywalls. Nowadays, there are also universal primers suitable for drywall and plaster. Overall, you will be fine as long as you are using a trustworthy brand.

Drying alone can take 1 to 4 hours to dry to the touch per plaster layer, but some types of plaster take several hours longer to dry. However, this doesn’t mean the job is done because plaster doesn’t fully harden until it cures, which can take a few days to a couple of weeks. It may take even longer if you’re building a new, pretty thick plaster wall. Allow the plaster to cure before painting it.
