"Nickola was hired to fix some holes in my drywall, one of which may or may not have been caused by an impromptu indoor baseball game with my son (which is definitely against the rules). He assessed the damage, gave me multiple repair options, and was brutally honest about the cost vs. quality of each. No fluff, no upselling, just straight-up, "Here’s what it costs for this level of work." I respect that. A real contractor who doesn’t beat around the bush. I hired him based on a friend’s glowing recommendation (I’d seen his work, and it was top-notch), plus the fact that he’s a local, American-run business. He worked fast, blended the texture flawlessly, and even did extra because he won’t allow himself to deliver anything "less than." Best part? My wife still has no idea what happened. Nickola saved the day. If you want a trustworthy, skilled contractor who goes above and beyond, hire this guy! But also, this is what he fixed."

"Ismael did an amazing job! He not only patched up the drywall in the garage but he did various touch ups throughout my house with paint and texture. You canâ t even tell where the fixes were-everything blends so well together! It looks soooo good I screamed of excitement. He painted the molding/handrails, as well! Ismaelâ s work was 10/10! I highly recommend giving him a call for your drywall/painting needs! His communication was great too! Always let me know when he was coming/going and got back to me a quickly when I had questions. I will be giving him a call again next time I need his services and you should too!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

There are a few ways to figure out if your walls are plaster or drywall, but the pushpin method is probably the easiest option. To try it, choose a part of your wall where you can insert a pushpin or thumbtack without leaving an obvious mark. If it goes in easily, you have drywall. But if the wall is tough to penetrate, that’s plaster.

Knowing what causes drywall damage can help stop it before it starts. Here are some of the most common causes of drywall damage: 

  • Water damage from roof leaks or leaky pipes. 

  • Small holes caused by doorknobs, minor accidents, and rodent infestations. 

  • Wall dents stemming from moving furniture and minor accidents. 

  • Wall cracks that form from a settling foundation or seismic activity. 

  • Nail pops from nails and screws in the walls. 

  • Large holes that are caused by accidents with heavy objects, children and pets, or sporting equipment.

You should start looking for a drywall installer by choosing a local company with positive online reviews and ratings with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Next, confirm that the professional is properly licensed using Angi’s contractor licensing tool, and ask the installer if they are fully insured. It’s a good idea to ask for recent customer references and call them to get their honest opinion about the contractor and their work. You can also ask the installer if they guarantee their work or provide a workmanship warranty.

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.

The amount of drywall you need for a 1,000-square-foot basement depends on the ceiling height, angles, number of doors and windows, and more. To find the wall square footage, multiply the width and height of each wall, minus any gaps from windows or doors, and add the totals together. You’ll also need enough drywood nails or screws to install the drywall correctly.
