"Very good work, especially the cement and related ground work. I'm very particular and made changes as the project evolved, and Christian and his team are very professional and accommodating."
"It went well Matt is a very knowledgeable and he is responsible. He showed up when he said he would, was respectful of my home. Exceeded all my expectations. Cutting edge drywall 5 star!"
"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."
"Reroof was completed in 2 days, however we were having a skylight changed out at the same time and the skylight they brought was not the correct size. Proper size was ordered. It took a little longer than expected to get the new skylight, but once it came in they came out and installed promptly. We discovered that upon removing and replacing the old skylight when the screws were put in it cracked the drywall. They were a few more days sending someone to repair. All work was completed. I initially had put down a deposit and was not willing to pay the remaining balance until ALL the work was completed, they were very understanding and did not push to collect the remainder until after all the work was completed."
"it was a terrific experience. Joe and his crew did an excellent job. When Joe discovered major water damage to a structural wall, he rearranged his schedule and did the entire major repair. I would hire him again for anything!"
"They built my hearth and framed my fire place. We used reclaimed wood that was very hard to work with. The end product was breath taking. The care and craftsmanship they put into this was outstanding."
"It went pretty smoothly. One of the best contractors I have had from Choice Home Warranty. Century Restoration Maintenance, LLC and owner PeAyre Gardner were awesome. I have had CHW several years and I wanted to cancel because every thing we called about they denied the claim. My husband decided to keep them. I was pleasantly surprised that they fixed both the leak and drywall in the ceiling from the leak. I did have to provide extra pics from the leak before it was approved as initially the claim was denied."

"Well, the first time the replacement was ordered it was the wrong one, which of course, delayed the installation a week. When it was finally installed I had to pay an additional $850 for code upgrades. This I was not informed of by Home Shield. Then we noticed that there was water on the garage floor and found that the pipe coming in from the wall was leaking at the wall so had to call the plumbing company back out to fix it. They first tried to say it was not their fault but since there wasn't a leak before they installed they did fix it. I have used Home Shield a few times before and never had a problem. Some of the companies they use are not the best so you have to research them before you commit. I have found HS service to be good if you do your homework. At the end of the day I was without hot water for almost 3 weeks but it was do to the plumbing company they sent out."
You can plaster over regular drywall, but it's essential to prepare the surface properly. Before plastering, the drywall should be clean, free of dust, and any loose or peeling paint should be removed. Applying a primer specifically designed for plastering can improve adhesion. Some professionals recommend applying a base coat of plaster or joint compound to create a better surface for the plaster to adhere to. Proper preparation ensures a smooth and durable plaster finish over regular drywall.
Yes, you can use drywall repair techniques for some types of plaster damage. Tiny holes and small cracks in plaster can be patched in similar ways to drywall. You apply the necessary compound to fill the hole, wait for it to dry, then sand it down. For larger damage, like water damage or mold, you need to use plaster-specific techniques and materials.
You can put certain types of plaster over other types, but doing so isn't always the best idea. For example, putting a coat of gypsum over lime plaster is possible, but doing so will limit the lime plaster's breathability and potentially affect its performance.
Since cement plaster tends to leave a textured surface, no matter how much you smooth it, some people prefer to use gypsum plaster as a topcoat over cement plaster, creating a smoother surface.
Certain drywall textures, like sand and sometimes popcorn, can be smoothed by applying skim coats, sanding the walls, or chipping away the texture. However, it’s worth considering removing the texture and starting with a blank canvas. Smoothing textured walls requires a lot of sandpaper and elbow grease and can take longer than just outright removing the texture.
Most repairs take 1-3 days, depending on drying times for joint compound and paint touch-ups.
