"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

Plaster itself has a higher R-value than drywall. However, there are other considerations surrounding plaster and insulation. As a general rule, it's easier to obtain consistency in insulating value and quality when working with drywall rather than plaster. Plaster walls often don't contain any insulation behind the wall covering by design, and careful evaluation is necessary when choosing to add it.

You can skim coat plaster, but it’s better to repair the plaster itself. A skim coat is a thin coat of drywall joint compound spread over the surface of a wall. The result is a flat finish that looks pleasing, but part of the appeal of plaster is its imperfections and aesthetic. Skim coating is best when limited to drywall applications.

The tool you use to sand plaster will depend on the size of the project. If you’re just working on a small section of your wall to get rid of an uneven spot on the surface, hand-sanding might work. However, for larger projects, a drywall sander can make a huge difference when it comes to both time and elbow grease—and an orbital sander can help for detailed areas such as around ceiling fans.

Yes, as drywall mud is going to have some uneven spots and bumps after application. Such imperfections are going to be visible after everything dries and even after you paint the wall, so you want to remove them. Learning how to sand drywall, taking your time, and following drywall sanding tips can help you have the best results.

Drying alone can take 1 to 4 hours to dry to the touch per plaster layer, but some types of plaster take several hours longer to dry. However, this doesn’t mean the job is done because plaster doesn’t fully harden until it cures, which can take a few days to a couple of weeks. It may take even longer if you’re building a new, pretty thick plaster wall. Allow the plaster to cure before painting it.
