"Tom did a tremendous job. We needed our peak done in our back room as well. We did not have the right tape on it the first time and it was bubbling and coming off, he used the correct mesh tape and I have to tell you it looks amazing. Always gave me a heads up when on his way and very fair priced. Walls came out amazing highly recommended."

"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."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

While it’s most common to sand plaster dry, it is possible to wet-sand plaster, too. Doing so can reduce the amount of plaster dust released into the air and make it easier to work in smaller, more delicate areas (such as around wall trim). However, some people find that wet sanding leads to more imperfections, which is why larger walls are more often dry sanded to ensure an even finish.

Regular dusting, occasional repainting, and avoiding harsh scrubbing preserve the finish.

You should wait at least 24 hours for drywall mud to dry before sanding or applying another coat. However, the exact drying time depends on several factors, including the thickness of the application, room temperature, humidity, and the type of compound used. Thicker layers, or projects in high humidity, may require 48 hours or more. Lightweight compounds tend to dry faster than heavier, all-purpose ones. You'll know the mud is ready when it feels completely dry and firm to the touch and has changed to a consistent light color. Sanding too early can cause smudging or gouges, so patience is essential for a smooth finish.

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.

If you're comfortable hanging drywall yourself, you may be comfortable finishing it. But it's worth noting that finishing drywall adds several steps to the process and a lot of waiting time. Hiring a drywall installer may be the way to go if you'd rather spend your time doing other things or are nervous about leaving a rough surface.
