"Hank did a wonderful job in repairing & painting a badly cracked ceiling in my living room. He also removed old ceiling paper in my dining room and painted the ceiling. Both were done in the agreed time frame and at a competitive price. Hank is very pleasant and listened to all my concerns. I highly recommend him !"

"We originally wanted two water stained ceilings patched and painted and the living room re-painted. We met Mike who promptly met us after we requested an estimate. Having been in the financial industry for decades I've come across all kinds of sales people and I'm proud to say that Mike is not like any of them. Mike is friendly, genuine, professional and likeable. He is neither phony or pushy. He was pleasant and understanding of our needs. He told us what had to be done and gave us a reasonable estimate that never varied. His painters, Nino and Willie were assigned to our project. These two gentlemen were a pleasure to have in our home. We were extremely comfortable with them. Their work was truly professional and shamed the previous work done in our home. They arrived ahead of time and left the rooms clean and spotless. Their work was meticulous and showed off their skills. We were so impressed that we immediately hired them to repaint the stairwell and the bedrooms upstairs."

"Moises and his crew repaired water rotted wood in difficult locations and completely finished the garage to every detail from insulation to molding, as shown in pictures here. They thought of every detail that shows their pride over their work. Not only is their work top notch, but they are also easy to work with and very communicative through the whole process. I have already hired them for a second job."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Drywall can be installed directly on ceiling joists. In fact, this method is common in many construction projects. Drywall sheets are attached to the joists using screws, ensuring a secure and stable installation. Before attaching the drywall, it's important to mark the joist locations on the ceiling, allowing for accurate screw placement. Proper spacing between screws and careful taping and mudding of joints are crucial to creating a smooth and flawless ceiling surface. If the joists are in good condition and level, installing drywall directly on them is a practical and efficient approach.

Yes, you can speed up the time it takes for plaster to dry, but it's important to do so carefully to avoid issues like cracking or crumbling. Proper ventilation is key; open a window or use a fan to circulate air in the room. Heat can also accelerate drying, but be cautious, as too much heat can cause the plaster to dry too quickly and crack. Check the plaster's packaging for the recommended drying temperature and set the room's thermostat accordingly. While managing humidity is important, avoid using a dehumidifier, which can remove moisture too aggressively and result in crumbly plaster.

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).

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.

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.
