"Quality work at a fair price! I was very impressed with the work that Brandon and Nick did. They painted several ceilings for me, two of them which had water damage. They did an excellent job of matching the texture of the ceiling. It came out much better than I expected! They were very professional and were careful to cover all our belongings while painting. They also did a great job of cleaning up afterwards. I highly recommend Dynamic Drywall and Painting and will definitely use them again. They were a pleasure to work with! Great job guys!!!"

"Andy does it all. He painted every square foot of our home, including trim and doors. Repaired trim and drywall. Installed appliances. Hung fans and light fixtures. And more! The quality of work is outstanding and his attention to detail is exceptional. We are asking Andy to work on exterior matters this Spring and Summer. Andy cleans up at the end of each day. He is meticulous and being very picky homeowners, we appreciate the quality of his work."

"Our painting work looks great!! Used this company to paint a large section of our home that includes living room, hallway, 2 story foyer, and upstairs hallway. Everyone is very personable and easy to work with! Chris always responds to texts/calls within minutes! Phil did an excellent job with the largest portion of the painting with tons of attention to detail! He even offered to remove the ugly surround sound speakers installed by the previous homeowner and did the drywall repair. There is NO paint anywhere it shouldn t be. We have 2 young kids and Phil and Jessica were beyond friendly and courteous to them also. Very thoughtful and talented people! Can t beat the price either!! We received multiple estimates for the same job and these guys deliver for a significantly better deal and get it done quickly! Before we met them, we were hesitant to hire because they don t have as many reviews on here as other companies and contractors... but they re definitely great! We ve rehired them now to put up and stain a fence for us in fact. Thanks PHIL, Chris, Jessica, and Stacey!"

"Freedom Contracting did a fantastic job on our bathroom remodel! We are so happy with how it looks. It needed remodeling so bad. Brandon and his crew consulted with us every step of the way. Made suggestions along the way that really made the difference. They are very knowledgeable and when they start a job they stay on it till completion. Dependable and trustworthy. We will be recommending them to everyone we know. Ray & Cathi Fiorentino"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

You can put certain types of plaster over other types, but doing so isn't always the best idea. For example, putting a coat of gypsum over lime plaster is possible, but doing so will limit the lime plaster's breathability and potentially affect its performance.

Since cement plaster tends to leave a textured surface, no matter how much you smooth it, some people prefer to use gypsum plaster as a topcoat over cement plaster, creating a smoother surface.

Furring strips, thin strips of wood or metal, are not always required for ceiling drywall installation. If the ceiling surface is even and in good condition, drywall can be directly attached to the ceiling joists using screws. However, furring strips become essential when dealing with irregular surfaces or when additional insulation or soundproofing is needed. They create a level substrate for attaching the drywall. Ultimately, the decision to use furring strips depends on the condition of the existing ceiling and the specific requirements of the project.

Plaster is a beautiful finish but is labor-intensive to install and remove. It’s vulnerable to cracking and more sensitive to moisture variance than drywall. Installing plaster on a new wall is an expensive process that can take days to weeks, depending on the scope. Removing a plaster wall can also be quite expensive and time-consuming.

You can usually tell if you have plaster or drywall by touch (plaster is harder, colder, and smoother than drywall) or by tapping on it (drywall sounds hollow, plaster does not). If you still cannot tell, peek under an outlet cover and check the cut edges. The rough edges show the composition of the wall. You will see either drywall (two paper sheets sandwiching gypsum material) or only plaster material (no paper sheets).

Installing or repairing plaster on ceilings differs slightly from performing the same motions on a wall. You’ll apply slightly less plaster to lower the overall weight of the ceiling. Wall texturing is common, whereas most ceilings are smooth plaster. Tough coat plaster is strong, meaning you can use less while retaining a solid surface.
