"Contacted me promptly to schedule a meeting at our home to look at the needed drywall repair due to roof leaks. Very professional, experienced sounding and gave us a quote on the spot. We scheduled the job- they came on time and took extreme care protecting our furniture and surrounding area. The repair was done perfectly. I would highly recommend them!"

"I finally found a contractor that actually cares about how he does his work. They will take the extra time, if necessary, to get the repair done the way it should be done. These guys do what they say theyâ re gonna do. They explain the remodeling procedure very carefully so I could understand it. They took the time to protect my furniture from paint and dust as good as could be expected. I would hire them again without hesitation."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can apply new plaster over an existing plaster surface, such as a wall or ceiling, provided the old plaster is in good condition. Before you begin, check the stability of the existing plaster. The surface must be clean, free of loose material, and have no peeling paint. It is also recommended to roughen the surface slightly to promote adhesion. For older plaster, applying a base coat like a PVA emulsion or a specific bonding agent or primer is crucial. This step makes the existing plaster less porous and ensures the new and old layers adhere properly for a smooth, long-lasting finish.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

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).

Plaster provides a durable, soundproof, and moisture-resistant finish compared to drywall.

When doing a DIY paint job, it can be tricky to achieve the perfect, straight line between your wall and ceiling. There are several methods, including lining it with painter’s tape and using the “cut in” brush tactic. Some homeowners choose to apply a thin line of caulk to the wall-ceiling seam to create the appearance of a perfect line.
