"Eduardo did an amazing job on our house. The house had a terrible and inconsistent texture everywhere as well as extremely thick paint that was peeling off the walls. Eduardo stripped all the paint off the walls and floated a skim coat over the walls and ceiling to make them smooth and modern. The job was enormous but he completed it with super high quality and ahead of schedule. He found several unexpected areas where the drywall was damaged beyond repair and he patched those areas for a reasonable extra cost. He also reinforced the existing ceiling drywall with new screws so that we never get saggy drywall (apparently old homes were built with drywall nails instead of screws, leading to sagging over time). When I saw the end result for the first time, I was speechless. Thanks so much Eduardo! Our "new to us" home now feels brand new"

"Working with San Marcos Drywall Repair, and w Garrett, was so stress free and easy. His bids came in the best and the speed at which the work was accomplished was mind boggling. He made all the deadlines and came in on budget. Not only drywall, but grouting, painting, anything I asked he and his crew were capable of handling. I will call them every time. They make it easy and they listen. I always got a call back when I needed something, unfailing honest. What more can you ask for?"

"It’s a great feeling knowing that we can count on Louis! He initially redid a wall for us, removed shelves, built the infrastructure, drywall walled & painted. Outstanding! He put up shelves in our closet and most recently installed metal wall decor for our patio. We will always turn to Louis for his professionalism and attention to detail. Louis is a pleasure to work with!"

"Fantastic. The house looks great. They did an amazing job. Showed up early every single day to get the job done. The pressure washing of my driveway and the exterior of the house looks absolutely amazing. The paint makes the house look brand new again. I would definitely hire Ace in the Hole again. Was very professional and helpful and I would definitely hire them again."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

If you're comfortable hanging drywall yourself, you may be comfortable finishing it. But it's worth noting that finishing drywall adds several steps to the process and a lot of waiting time. Hiring a drywall installer may be the way to go if you'd rather spend your time doing other things or are nervous about leaving a rough surface.

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.

While textured walls can elevate a space in many ways, there are a couple of downsides to consider. Namely, they’re hard to clean, and some textures fall out of fashion quickly. Make sure to consider all your options to find one you truly love before diving in. 

Certain drywall textures, like sand and sometimes popcorn, can be smoothed by applying skim coats, sanding the walls, or chipping away the texture. However, it’s worth considering removing the texture and starting with a blank canvas. Smoothing textured walls requires a lot of sandpaper and elbow grease and can take longer than just outright removing the texture.

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.
