"The guy was excellent and did a great job. I just wasn’t expecting such a high price. The woman on the phone said it would be between $196-$396 but it was almost $500. Truthfully for a couple of hundred more I could have just had a brand new window put in."
"The project was top notch. Not only did they consistently show up on time, but they finished the project early and very Professional. Final project turned out great"

"Painted almost entire downstairs of our home. From the moment Laura came to measure I felt confident I would be happy with their work. They did a beautiful job. I would highly recommend them."
"I couldn’t be happier with the work done.
it was professional, on time, and extremely detail-oriented. The drywall installation was seamless, with smooth finishes and clean lines throughout my home. They respected my space, kept the job site tidy, and completed the project right on schedule. What impressed me most was their communication they explained every step and made sure I felt comfortable with the process. If you’re looking for a drywall company that delivers quality craftsmanship and outstanding service, I highly recommend them!"
"Mike and Crystal were very professional from the first phone contact through the completion of the work. They showed up on time, their work was neat and they worked very efficiently. My windows were in pretty bad shape. They really took their time and prepped them very well which showed in the finished product. When asked to redo or touch up anything it was done without question. In the end we received a very good paint job on a timely basis and at a competitive price. I have already recommended Mike's Painting to others in my neighborhood and would use him again for future painting needs. "
"My guy Logan is the jack of all trades. I’m doing a 800sq ft. Apartment above my house. I hired him to do drywall and finishing. He did an amazing job. Everything is nice and flush. He came back and did touch ups no questions asked. Not only did he do an outstanding job. He went above and beyond and helped me With other stuff I didn’t even hire him to do. Like sub flooring. Building my attic. I blew a switch upstairs was really bummed about it and he even fixed that ! He’s really good at what he does. Highly recommended!"
"Awesome! Jeff did a wonderful job. Very neat and clean while pairing. And meticulous. Best painter I have ever had. Will definitely have him paint for us again when needed. He is a very kind person and respects you and your property while working. He has a very strong work ethic."
You can take a few steps to save money on drywall installation, even when hiring a professional to do the bulk of the work for you. These ideas include the following:
Buy the drywall and other materials yourself to avoid product markup and delivery fees
Ask about discounts if you use the same company to tape, spackle, and paint
Hire drywall professionals in the winter when demand is the lowest
DIY as many parts of the project as possible, like replacing insulation and painting
Drywall tape is made of paper, while drywall mesh is made of fiberglass or metal. Drywall mesh patches are suitable for repairing small holes in drywall, while paper drywall tape holds a crease better for corners. You need joint compound to adhere drywall tape to the wall, while mesh patches may be self-adhesive.
The short answer is yes, a sagging plaster ceiling is dangerous. Sagging plaster on a wall is something you should fix immediately, but it isn’t a major concern. If the same type of sagging occurs on a ceiling, however, you could be in danger of your ceiling falling in large chunks. When plaster sags, it loses its strength and ability to hold itself up. The bonds that hold it together are strong, though, so if a sagging area falls, it will take large pieces down with it.
Venetian plaster is a highly durable wall finish that becomes a rock-like substance once dried, making it last longer than most other wall finishes. Its lifespan can range from decades to centuries, potentially lasting a lifetime. Key factors influencing its longevity include the quality of the initial application, whether it's properly sealed against moisture, and how the wall is maintained and treated (e.g., how often it is touched or bumped). Due to its mineral content, it can also develop a patina over time.
Plastering lasts for around 15 to 20 years without needing repairs or maintenance in most cases, and with proper upkeep, plastering can last a lifetime—sometimes more than 100 years. Plaster repair costs between $1 and $3 per square foot, and you may need these services once every 15 to 20 years or so unless you have a harsh climate where humidity changes are a constant issue. You can also opt to skim-coat plaster for between $0.90 and $1.30 per square foot, which may serve you better in the long run.
