"We had an excellent experience with Leo from A&W Drywall and highly recommend him! We we're contacted very quickly after posting for the project and had an estimate and schedule the same day. His work is meticulous and clean. Leo took great care to prevent any dust outside the work area. When he left, you couldn't tell he had been here!"

"This company was contracted to paint the entire exterior of our house. There are some things that became obvious as the work was being performed. Whether you think they are important or not, I thought they are worth mentioning. - On time, every day. - Accurate estimating, very fair pricing, and holds to his price. As with any old home, there are things that will come up. They had to put extra time in but did not increase his price and nickel and dime us. - 100% say-do ratio. What he says, he will do. That's a really comforting feeling and you never feel like they will try to get you to pay extra money as the job progresses. - His standards of quality are higher than mine. I trusted his guidance and workmanship. - He put in a "walk-through" into the proposal. They made sure I was completely happy every day and on the final day. The communication was clear and we were always on the same page. They did such a great job with the paint job, the house is stunning. Best decision I made was to hire them."

"I do not usually complete surveys or share my experiences, but in this instance I am compelled. Without really knowing where to start, I can say that I was very fortunate to have received the initial call from Franks. My project is an 110 year old building and nothing is straight or level. I was left high and dry without a drywaller and a time frame that would not allow a 4-6 wait period for another company to schedule me. It just so happened that Franks had just finished another project and had a window that they could fit me in. The same day (Sunday) I received John s call, he was there within hours to measure. The next morning they were hoisting drywall thru the upstairs window. John was on site the next day at 7AM and every day thereafter at that time until the job was done. He glued and screws, shims, takes his time and yet works efficiently. His helper has been with him for years and shows near equal ability for detail. They work well together and move along at a persistent pace...each day showing accomplishments. I don t think they stop much for breaks or lunch. The joke was that I was developing separation anxiety because I knew I was going to miss them both. If you allow it, they will leave you as friends. There is no doubt in my mind that the work was quality and the price VERY fair! Nor do I have any doubts that anyone else would experience the same...that is, if you are fortunate enough to receive their call. I move from project to project and hire company after company in all the trades. I do much of the work myself so I know what is involved and can identify hurried sloppy work when I see it. You will not see that with Franks. I am so happy to have met them and so thankful that this old building received their luv of what they do. 👍"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Yes, it matters which side of drywall you use. One side is smooth, and the other is rough. The smooth side should be facing outward, toward the room, while the rough side should be hidden and facing the studs and framing of the house. The smooth side will be easier to apply tape, joint compound, and, later, paint to.

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.

To hide drywall edges, you need to properly apply drywall tape and multiple layers of joint compound. These materials hide the seams between drywall sheets and fill the holes from drywall screws, leaving behind a smooth, flat finish to paint over. Apply joint compound smoothly, and finish the job by sanding the walls to make sure you fully hide drywall edges and other imperfections.

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).

You can paint over plaster, but repair any damage to the plaster first, or the paint will crack and bubble. You should also prepare the surface of the plaster to accept paint, which gives your paint job the best chance of looking good and lasting a long time. Before applying the color you want, apply a coat or two of primer. Additionally, use latex paint, and choose a latex paint with a satin finish for areas with dampness, like bathrooms.
