"David was able to accommodate my special paint color requests as well as fit as much as he could into my tight move-in date including working late. In addition his pricing was unbeatable with quality work. He also caulked/repaired small defects by his own will for free. Down to earth guy, yet I do think a little more professionalism would go a long way."

"My wife and I were extremely impressed with ProGreen. Cory Bordette was very professional, punctual, and responsive. The painters were very skilled, detailed, punctual, responsive, and clean. 
Progreen painted my 2600 square foot home, including > 10 feet walls and extensive trimming, within 4 days. They sent 3 extremely skilled painters who took pride in the final product. 
They started on day 1 with repair of the dry wall throughout the home. I initially thought there were only 2 areas that needed repair but they must have re-plastered > 20 areas throughout the home before they started to paint. Apparently, if you use the Emerald paint with an eggshell and satin sheen, the imperfections in the wall will be amplified after a new coat of paint.
Then they painted the 2nd floor, starting with our master bedroom, on days 1 and 2. They applied 2 coats of paint to the walls and 1 coat of paint to the ceilings, doors, and trims as requested. After they finished, they cleaned up the area as needed.
Then they painted the 1st floor on days 3 and 4. Once again, they applied 2 coats of paint to the walls and 1 coat of paint to the ceilings, doors, and trims as requested. After they finished, they cleaned up the area as well.
I was most impressed with the painters' skilled hand. I was initially apprehensive when I learned that they do not use "painters' tape" for the edges. But after research, I learned that the only very skilled painters do not use "painters' tape" since you can see subtle imperfections with "painters' tape." They painted the whole home without "painters' tape," and instead, they used an "angled paint brush." The edges were probably more clean and straight than if "painters' tape" would have been used.
I plan to use ProGreen again. I would like to get my garage painted. And, when my wife and I build our home, I will ask ProGreen to paint our home instead of the builder.
Kudos ProGreen!!!

Plaster Repair 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.

Repairs typically take 2-4 hours for small areas. Larger or more complex repairs may require additional time.

If your home was built before the 1940s and was not remodeled in the past 50 or so years, you probably have plaster walls. Aside from assuming, there are some practical ways to tell if you have plaster walls, including the following: If you knock on the wall and it feels solid, not hollow, if you can’t insert a thumbtack easily, if there are cracks that look like spiderwebs, or if your home has curved, arched, or swirled walls, doorways, or window openings.

If you have an unfinished basement or attic, you could examine the backs of any finished walls to check, too.

Installing or repairing plaster on ceilings differs slightly from performing the same motions on a wall. You’ll apply slightly less plaster to lower the overall weight of the ceiling. Wall texturing is common, whereas most ceilings are smooth plaster. Tough coat plaster is strong, meaning you can use less while retaining a solid surface.

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.
