"Jim did a meticulous job of replacing drywall and insulation from damage caused by a broken water line running over our cathedral ceiling. He textured and painted all the repairs. I can't say enough good about him."

"I bought a Angie's List deal of Handyman Service for $79.  I will say up front that this was worth the money, although if I had been paying full price I might not say that.
I bought the deal and tried to schedule the service for April 7-9, but the first he had available at first was in early May.  Luckily, John had something come open April 23 at 10.  In the back and forth with respect to scheduling, John was prompt in getting back to me.
On April 23, he did not show up at 10.  I realize that workmen frequently have little control over their time when they are on a job. When things go wrong which turn a 20 minute job into 2 hours, they cannot simply leave because the time is up, so I understand tardiness due to those kinds of situations.  By 11:30, I just wanted to get an ETA, so I called him.  I live northeast of Plano in Wylie, in Collin County.  He was half way to Waco.  He had my address and zip code, so I don't know where the confusion arose, although at that time Google Maps was having a problem finding my exact address. He had to turn around and drive in the opposite direction from which he had set out that morning.  It was almost 1 pm before he showed up.  It was not his fault that Google Maps couldn't tell him where to go, but I feel that he should have called me for directions when there was a question.  That is why I rated punctuality as D.
When he arrived, I explained that the first thing that we wanted was drywall repair.  We had a hole where an electric box had been, as well as 3 small cracks above a window and a doorway that appeared the summer we had the 42 days of 100+ heat.  Those areas also needed to be textured, as well as an area about 2&1/2 feet in diameter which had already been repaired.
At that point, he asked where the materials were, because according to the terms of the deal we had to provide our own materials.  I hadn't realized that--I am accustomed to workmen having the materials and charging me for them.  I thought that I had some drywall repair in the garage, but I didn't.  I didn't have the texture for sure.  It was my fault for not reading all of the details, but it might have been nice had he mentioned it when the final date for the work was confirmed.
So, while my husband ran out to Home Depot, with a shopping list, John started by doing some caulking in my bathroom (which I did have the materials for).  When my husband returned, John patched the areas that needed patching, and then finished the caulking as well as doing a couple of other small jobs (I forget what) while the drywall repair dried.
Even though it should have set in 20 minutes, it was still very wet after 45 minutes, and could not be textured.  We asked if he could come back to finish the texturing and we would pay him for the extra time at normal rates.  He agreed.
When I contacted him around June 25 to find out when he could return to do the texturing, he indicated that he could come back May 5, after we wanted to get our house on the market.  I scheduled it, but my realtor called in a favor, so on June 26, I cancelled the May 5 appointment.   (In the end, we got a guy that does dry wall repair exclusively to texture, and he brought in a machine.  It was done before May 1, and the job that he is probably better than anything that could be accomplished with canned texture.)  
We did get the 2 hours of work that we paid for.  John was pleasant enough, but I think I would try someone else before I used him again.  (Although he does know how to get to my house now.)  If I had been given a choice of "Might use again," (rather than a Yes or No to the question would you use him again?), I would have chosen that.

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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.

Costs depend on labor, material quality, wall preparation, and finishing requirements.

Yes, drywall nail pops are a common occurrence in homes, both new and old, resulting from the settling and shifting of the structure over time. Though not present in every room or on every wall, encountering nail pops in different sections of a home is not unusual, particularly if the temperature, humidity, or foundation has experienced changes.

There are several things you should not do when installing drywall. Common mistakes include: adding too many screws, over-sanding, not adding backing support, and installing drywall unevenly. You also should avoid screwing into the same place twice, installing Sheetrock with tapered edges on the outside, and making too many joints.

It’s less costly to drywall a fireplace than shiplapping it since material costs are higher for shiplap. However, if you’re DIYing the project, shiplap is less expensive since you won’t have to pay for labor. With drywall, getting a smooth finish is difficult unless you’re a pro. Shiplap is ideal for an accent wall or unique space, such as around a fireplace, since it adds texture and gives off a cozy vibe.
