"Hiring Raj & his team was a WIN-WIN. I need a large window be removed, properly bricked outside & framed inside. Now I usually receive 2x or more quotes from reputable contractors but after putting out feelers for the job I only rcvâ d a phone call from him. This job needed to be done fast & w/integrity. Zicklin team convinced me enough to give them the job. I was on site while work was done asking questions & watching the men work. They were respectful of my neighbors, cleaned up & professional. They performed this job the way I wouldâ ve done it. But itâ s easier said than done. Job took 1x day & brickwork matched existing brickwork to my liking. Price was competitive but the job was done A-1. Now itâ s one & done. I donâ t have to worry about this task anymore! Thanks Raj & Zicklin team for making me a satisfied customer!"

It came out absolutely beautiful. And the team is always so professional and meticulous in their work - such a talented group. Thank you so much for elevating this space beyond what I imagined for it!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

It doesn’t matter which way you lay drywall, and you can choose to install it horizontally or vertically depending on the size of the wall and how tall the ceiling is. It’s easier to lay drywall sheets vertically if you have a taller ceiling, but laying sheets horizontally makes it easier to apply joint compound.

There are a few ways to figure out if your walls are plaster or drywall, but the pushpin method is probably the easiest option. To try it, choose a part of your wall where you can insert a pushpin or thumbtack without leaving an obvious mark. If it goes in easily, you have drywall. But if the wall is tough to penetrate, that’s plaster.

If you’re looking for a reliable plaster repair company, you should start by researching local companies in your area and reviewing their status with the Better Business Bureau. Next, you can contact the potential companies to ask about experience levels, get a list of references, and ask for examples of past work. If you have a textured wall, consider asking if they have examples or references for that particular texture. This method should help you narrow your search even further. You may also want to ask each company if they provide a warranty for their work.

The tool you use to sand plaster will depend on the size of the project. If you’re just working on a small section of your wall to get rid of an uneven spot on the surface, hand-sanding might work. However, for larger projects, a drywall sander can make a huge difference when it comes to both time and elbow grease—and an orbital sander can help for detailed areas such as around ceiling fans.

Brick and stucco are a lot more different. You must use picture hanging clips designed for brick walls, or use a plaster rail system with adjustable hooks. Any other type of hanging hardware will cause damage to the bricks behind. You won’t be able to really use nails, either, because they’re not strong enough to go into the bricks.
