Customers say: True professional

"I called George Neff to provide an estimate on stucco repairs to the addition of our home after having previously scheduling another contractor. After the original contractor became completely unresponsive, I called George Neff hoping someone could come out promptly to provide an estimate as I had already lost 3 weeks waiting on the original contractor. George Neff came out the next day to provide an estimate and then returned the following week to complete the repairs, which was half the time quoted from the original contractor I had spoken to. George Neff called the night before his team was to arrive to let us know they'd be coming. They arrived promptly the next morning and completed all the repairs over the course of 2 days. The crew working was all very polite and respectful. They made sure to be mindful not to create too much mess while they were working and then left no mess when they left after the work was completed.

"Donnie and his crew went above and beyond to repair and reseal my old driveway it was in rough shape. A week after they did a great job a heavy delivery truck came up and moved some of the fresh patch work. (Itâ s been really hot) they came right back and fixed what the truck broke loose. Very good customer service and above and beyond to make a customer happy. 5 stars all the way! â­ ï¸ â­ ï¸ â­ ï¸ â­ ï¸ â­ ï¸"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

You can drywall an unheated garage because the material handles cold temperatures perfectly well. There are no risks or downsides to installing drywall in a garage that is not heated, and the material stands up to moisture and other elements quite well. Drywall will protect your unheated garage's electric wires and cables and add fire protection. However, for effective bonding, you should install drywall at a temperature of 55 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.

Whether you need drywall anchors depends on your specific project, particularly where you are hanging an item. Drywall anchors are not necessary if you can drive a screw directly into a wooden stud behind the wall, as the stud provides sufficient support. However, since studs are not present everywhere in a wall, you will need to use drywall anchors if you are hanging an object in a location without a stud. For very lightweight items, picture hanging strips can also be a suitable alternative.

Both plaster and drywall are durable wall finishes, but they differ significantly in installation, cost, performance, and aesthetics.

Installation & Cost: Drywall installation is faster and more affordable, typically costing $1.50 to $3 per square foot. It uses premade sheets, making it a more accessible DIY project. Plastering is a labor-intensive craft that requires specialized skills, pushing costs to $2 to $10 per square foot. It involves applying a wet paste over a lath framework.

Durability & Performance: Plaster is generally more durable, longer-lasting, and provides superior soundproofing. It is also a better insulator, which can help reduce energy costs. Drywall is easier to remove for future renovations.

Aesthetics: Drywall provides a smooth, uniform surface ready for paint or texture. Plaster offers a high-end, naturally textured look that can hide imperfections and is often preferred for achieving a classic or historic aesthetic.

Which is better? The choice depends on your priorities. Drywall is ideal for those prioritizing a lower upfront cost, faster installation, and DIY potential. Plaster is the better option for a higher-end project where durability, soundproofing, and a unique, premium finish are more important than the initial cost.
