"Don was very courteous, professional, and easy to work with. He installed a ceiling fan for us and did a great job and cleaned up the work area. He also gave us advice for better air flow in our house. He also noticed all our air vents were installed backwards which I have since switched. I would definitely hire him again in a heartbeat for projects in my home."

"John was GREAT to work with. I needed an understructure check on my home before installing a tile shower, & he responded quickly and arrived early. His knowledge is extensive and he explained in detail what needed to be done before my project began. I will definitely be using his company for any future projects."

"Brandon & Cory did a fantastic job of putting our poor flood-damaged apartment back together. They repaired torn out drywall, re-anchored cabinets, installed new carpeting and laminate flooring and overall left our apartment looking beautiful again. They were fast, professional, and do beautiful work. Cannot recommend highly enough."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

It’s not a good idea to plaster over broken plaster (unless by broken you’re referring to cracked, in which case that’s perfectly fine). However, broken plaster can be a sign of a larger underlying issue like foundation damage or severe damage to the lath holding up the plaster, so it’s worth investigating before you simply plaster on top of the damage.

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. 

You can skim coat plaster, but it’s better to repair the plaster itself. A skim coat is a thin coat of drywall joint compound spread over the surface of a wall. The result is a flat finish that looks pleasing, but part of the appeal of plaster is its imperfections and aesthetic. Skim coating is best when limited to drywall applications.

The age of your home can clue you in to whether you have plaster or drywall ceilings. Homes built after the ‘70s are more likely to have drywall ceilings and walls, while older homes have plaster. You can also do the pushpin test: A pushpin will go into drywall, whereas it’s much harder to push one into a plaster wall. If you’re still unsure, ask a drywall professional to let you know which type of ceilings and walls you have.

You should do a little bit of sanding between adding coats of mud. Knock down any ridges or significantly imperfect areas through sanding, which should help you apply the next coat of mud smoothly. If your first coat of mud is pretty smooth after it dries, a quick sanding is all you’ll need. Don’t forget to wipe away any dust after each sanding process.
