"This was our first time using Cary and Restoration Services. Theyâ re on time and let you know if theyâ re running late. They arrive daily until the work is done. They clean up after each day. And you honestly never know what kind of quality of work youâ re going to get unless you hear it from someone you know. All the jobs we had for them were restoring our walls back to their original state after water damage. Our walls were done expertly â ¦ there was not one thing I would have them redo. I almost feel like the walls were better after they fixed them than before the damage occurred. . We could not have hoped for a better end result and would highly recommend them."

Customers say: Quality work

"It was a pleasure to work with both Philip and his wife Asia. I had a ceiling repair that had been attempted by another company years prior, leaving me ready to tear out my entire ceiling. Philip and Asia assured me they could save me the expense, by removing only a small portion and matching the existing texture. Well, Iâ  m thrilled to say Philip did as he promised! He also was able to move lightening that was misplaced by the builder/ electrician when the house was built in 1997, matching the texture perfectly. Plans have been made to have 7 Pneuma back for a basement project."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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).

Professionals mount TVs using specialized tools and knowledge of different wall materials, ensuring safe support.

You should stagger drywall sheets to help prevent cracking. The joints between drywall sheets are the weak spots, so if you install drywall with seams aligned, you’ll create weak lines that run across the length of the wall and extend from floor to ceiling. But when you stagger drywall, the solid sections of panels will support the joints. This can prevent seams from cracking or separating due to fluctuating temperature and humidity, vibrations from movement inside the home, and gravity.

This depends on how much plaster is applied and in how many layers, but a decent estimate is around 150 square feet. If you are applying only two coats on a small wall, there is a chance you may only need one or two gallons for the entire project. If you are plastering a large living room wall with high ceilings, using one of the more involved techniques–like Scagliola–that requires several coats, expect the project materials costs to add up quickly. 

While a normal moisture level for drywall is between 5% and 12%, replacement is recommended if you get consistent readings above 17%. At this level, the drywall is likely too compromised by extensive moisture damage to be considered safe. You can replace either the entire sheet or just the affected section. If you are unsure after a visual inspection, it is best to have a contractor or water restoration provider use a professional moisture meter to get an accurate reading.
