"I had a water leak in our church’s lower women’s bathroom, and once the area was repaired and dried, Davis and his crewtook care of the drywall, painting, and rubber base installation so we could be ready for services. Davis answered my call right away and immediately started making plans to get everything back to normal. He and his crew were respectful, courteous, and kept the work area clean, even while working in a busy place. I really appreciate the quality of their work and would definitely recommend them."
"Rick did an excellent job for our drywall repairs. He completed the job quickly and it looks great! We can't even tell where the drywall repair was done! We especially appreciate the extra effort he made to complete the job despite terrible road conditions . Will choose him again!"
"This is a great company that I will definitely hire again! I had a list of random small and one large projects I wanted to get done around my home and Scott happily checked them off for me. Including taking down a large tree in my front yard, adding new bathroom window trim, installing recessed kitchen lighting, plumbing water to the refrigerator, and a complete over-haul to turn my standard garage into a fun extended living space. Garage included insulation and drywalling the attic area and the walls, and a new concrete floor. The only thing Scott didn't do was replace the garage doors. But he advised and talked with the installers I hired for that work. Scott was great at going through each project, asking and listening to what I wanted, and then describing what each project would entail and the plan to complete each one. Darkstar Construction is an incredible company and Scott is very easy going and a delight to work with! I highly recommend them to anyone needing literally anything done around their home or yard!"

The drywall installation was flawless — smooth seams, clean taping, and a perfect finish. Once painted, the walls looked completely seamless. They also kept the workspace tidy and stayed on schedule.
Extremely happy with the results and highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality drywall work."
"Lee installed drywall in an external shed and did an excptional job. He is professional, easy to wok with, and completed the work when he promised. His drywall work is the best I have personally seen and is better than in my house. He obviously is skilled in his trade and does the best possible job. I had some difficult small windows that he made look great. I would highly recommend him for any drywall work."

While it’s most common to sand plaster dry, it is possible to wet-sand plaster, too. Doing so can reduce the amount of plaster dust released into the air and make it easier to work in smaller, more delicate areas (such as around wall trim). However, some people find that wet sanding leads to more imperfections, which is why larger walls are more often dry sanded to ensure an even finish.
Depending on how much adhesive was used as well as the strength of the adhesive, you may have some drywall damage when removing a mirror. You can typically repair most drywall damage if it’s small by sanding the damaged area, applying spackle to smooth the damaged section so it’s flush with the rest of the wall, and repainting the area.
Yes, you can install drywall over plaster, but there are important factors to consider. While it can create a smooth, flat surface, it is often not the best approach. Installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall's thickness, which can cause issues with existing window and door frames that may no longer fit. You might also need to adjust power outlets to keep them accessible. A better, though more expensive, option is to remove the old plaster and lath entirely before installing new drywall. Drywalling directly over plaster seals in the old material, and if any problems arise later, you will need to remove both layers down to the structural beams for repairs. Given the potential complications, this job is best handled by professionals.
With its breathability and flexibility, lime plaster is among the most durable of all plaster types. It's also fire-resistant and has a proven track record, as people have been using it for thousands of years.
However, all plaster types will last for many years with the right care and treatment. Proper preparation and installation will also help ensure your plaster walls look great for as long as possible.
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.
