"I can't recommend Mr. Malone highly enough! He's very professional, is very knowledgeable and does great work. I had recurring drywall issues including large wall cracks from settling and drywall tape lifting in a 35-year old home. Both painters and handymen had done quick repairs with spackling and tape, but it never worked for long. Mr. Malone actually understood what was causing the problems and what was needed to prevent or minimize the chances of issues recurring. He explained all of the steps of my project well and worked very efficiently. I'm extremely satisfied with his work. Very highly recommended!"

"Part of my front porch roof was sagging down and while I couldn't even get a phone call back from other companies AJ answered my call and actually came out to give me a quote the same day! The price was very reasonable and he was able to fix it in a brilliant way that looked great and saved me thousands of dollars having to replace the whole roof. He was able to come out that week and get the job done quickly. I was really happy with how it turned out. I highly recommend AJ!"

Drywall FAQs, answered by experts

It’s less costly to drywall a fireplace than shiplapping it since material costs are higher for shiplap. However, if you’re DIYing the project, shiplap is less expensive since you won’t have to pay for labor. With drywall, getting a smooth finish is difficult unless you’re a pro. Shiplap is ideal for an accent wall or unique space, such as around a fireplace, since it adds texture and gives off a cozy vibe.

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.

Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.

You’ll want to inspect your plaster walls for signs of damage before painting. If you notice soft spots, deep cracks, bubbling, or areas where the plaster is crumbling or pulling away from the wall, it likely needs repair. While small hairline cracks are common and likely cosmetic, you should address larger issues before painting to ensure a quality, smooth finish.

Look for flaking paint or air bubbles that burst and then flake away. Paint will begin to flake after being exposed to minimal moisture or water, so it’s a good indicator of any water damage. If you notice your paint starting to flake, feel the plaster underneath to see if it is soft or damp.
