"I needed a portion of Sheetrock replaced and finished due to having some plumbing work done. Workers were reliable and did quality work. They cleaned everything up each time that they worked. After I painted the Sheetrock, you couldn’t tell that anything had been replaced. I’m very pleased."

"I had a hole in the ceiling of my living room due to water damage. I could not find anyone willing to do the repair. Everyone wants to do large jobs. So the estimates were ridiculous. Omar came and did the repair in 1 1/2 days. It looks great and was a reasonable price."

"Nathan has done multiple projects for me including putting siding on my garage and storage building, putting up a new fence, replacing faucets in bathroom and kitchen, hanging a new TV, making new flowerbeds and mulching, and replacing a shower head. I will absolutely hire him again. He is honest, dependable, hard working, and knowledgeable. His rates are very reasonable for the quality of his work. Couldn’t recommend him enough!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Technically speaking, you can use drywall primer over plasters. However, oil-based primers work the most effectively on wall plasters. Meanwhile, water-based primers work just as well with drywalls. Nowadays, there are also universal primers suitable for drywall and plaster. Overall, you will be fine as long as you are using a trustworthy brand.

Depending on the place where the cutting error occurred, you may be able to fix it. Learning how to patch a hole in drywall is challenging, but if you can tape and mud drywall, you can do it. Having said that, patching is time consuming. Early in the installation process, you may find that it’s easier and far less time consuming to just start over with a new sheet of drywall, cutting a new hole in the right spot. You may be able to use part of the incorrectly cut piece elsewhere, so it’s not completely wasted.

Only use spackle on plaster walls when the imperfection is small. It’s best used for nail holes or small dings in the plaster. Spackle dries quickly, allowing you to continue the repair process shortly after using it. Plaster can be tricky to repair, though, so if you run into issues, call a pro so that you don’t risk further damage.

You can technically just paint over hairline cracks in plaster since these cracks are often harmless, but this will mostly be a waste of paint. Paint will only hide the hairline crack for a few months before it shows up again. The best solution is to repair the crack with flexible filler or joint compound before repainting.

You should wait at least 24 hours for drywall mud to dry before sanding or applying another coat. However, the exact drying time depends on several factors, including the thickness of the application, room temperature, humidity, and the type of compound used. Thicker layers, or projects in high humidity, may require 48 hours or more. Lightweight compounds tend to dry faster than heavier, all-purpose ones. You'll know the mud is ready when it feels completely dry and firm to the touch and has changed to a consistent light color. Sanding too early can cause smudging or gouges, so patience is essential for a smooth finish.
