"We were in the middle of a tile install, and needed some quick drywall repairs completed before our project could continue. Rafael was able to fit us into his schedule, and did a fantastic job on very short notice."

Customers say: Quality work

"I'm very happy with the quality of the work and the value, given I got three other quotes for finishing my basement before selecting Dan. He and his guys are very friendly and easy-going. He kept to his word on the price and was very accommodating of small changes as the project progressed. My only negative comments surround communication and timeliness. There were numerous days I expected Dan and his crew to come that they didn't show up. They also never came to the house before 10:30 AM and were usually gone for the day by 2:00 so the job dragged on far longer than we originally agreed it would. That said, I know it was a small basement job and there were days they couldn't do more until something dried. Bottom line, despite the delays and poor communication at times, I think Dan is honest, hard-working, and does a good job for the money so I would hire him again."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

There is no way to cut drywall without making dust, but you can reduce the amount of dust and especially the dangerous airborne particles by using manual cutting tools. Using a utility knife to score and snap your drywall will minimize dust production, and a jab saw for cutting cutouts for boxes and fixtures will generate almost no airborne dust. Even if you use these methods, you should still wear a respirator and safety goggles to avoid damage to your lungs and eyes.

Plaster is denser, harder, and more porous than drywall, so it absorbs moisture differently. This means you’ll often need more prep work, such as thorough sanding, patching, and priming with a high-quality bonding primer. Additionally, you may need more coats of paint to achieve even coverage. While the process takes more time, it helps ensure a durable and professional-looking result.

If you’re installing new drywall, you may need to skim coat the drywall first for a smooth finish and to allow the primer to adhere to the wall. It’s only necessary if there are imperfections in your drywall due to issues with the studs or improper drywall installation. If you’re refreshing existing walls, you may want to skim coat if there are imperfections across the wall. As an alternative, you can repair your drywall and sand it for a smooth finish before painting.

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. 

Plaster walls typically last between 30 and 70 years, but depending on the quality of the materials and the moisture levels in the building, they can last for over 100 years. With expert application and consistent maintenance, plaster can even last for centuries. To extend its lifespan, it is important to have the plaster professionally installed, address any water damage promptly, and repair small cracks as they appear. Regular inspections by a professional can help identify and address concerning cracks before they become significant issues.
