"I can't say enough good things about Carl and Beth... the owners of Luxe Walls. They responded quickly to our Home Advisor request for an estimate, the price was very competitive, arrived on time as promised and were extremely conscious of keeping the work area and our home neat/clean. Carl is a perfectionist... his work is exceptional and exceeded my expectations. He removed old wallpaper and paste, completely repaired all imperfections and nail pops, caulked edges, primed and applied two coats of BM Regal Select Matte finish to walls. He also repaired defects in the baseboard/ crown molding and repainted. Lastly, he repaired and painted drywall damaged during installation of two skylights and made them perfect. I highly recommend Luxe Walls and will definitely use them again. Carl and Beth are very nice people who take pride in their work and do a great job."

"George and his team of Jimmy and Timmy repaired the drywall in our kitchen ceiling and also performed an excellent job repairing our structural column in the same area. This column enclosed our heating and sewer lines which were damaged by corrosion. The entire project was completed in two days. Clean up was impeccable and the job estimate was very reasonable. I would highly recommend the George Aubrey firm for their craftmanship and attention to detail."

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.

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.

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.

New plaster must be fully dry and cured before painting. The drying time for plaster ranges from 1 to 4 hours, but the curing process can take more than five days, depending on various factors, including humidity levels, temperature, the amount of plaster used, and airflow in the area. You should always apply primer before painting plaster.

It is possible to apply plaster on the interior or exterior of your home, but we don’t recommend it. Plaster is easy to apply in theory, but in reality, it can be a challenging material to work with, and it’s difficult to get the finished product to look clean, even, and smooth. Many DIYers end up calling in a professional afterward to touch up the area or even redo it entirely because of mistakes they made in the process. Hiring a plaster pro will cost more, but it’s usually the best option to achieve high-quality results.
