"Ross was very responsive and provided timely service on a small drywall repair in my home. He accomplished the repair, texture and paint job very efficiently and the end result was excellent. The repair was seamless; the paint was perfectly matched. I would definitely hire A1 Drywall again!"

"This contractor performed perfect drywall repair and painting. The quote was fair, they showed up promptly and there was no language barriers. They are masters at their craft. I highly recommend them. If I ever have another house built they will be hired as my drywall installers. I feel there are no better in the business."

"I would recommend San Marcos DryWall Repair. They gave me a fair price for water damage under a window in my home. They replaced the drywall, the baseboards, and painted. It was all done in a single day and looks great."

"Louis did a wonderful job patching holes in the drywall and ceiling left by the plumbers. He was careful to contain the dust mess from the work and communicated well the time he needed to complete the job. He was professional, polite, and I would hire him again in a heartbeat."

"I am SOOOO pleased with Miguel's work! He matched existing texture perfectly and the paint and finish quality was excellent! I thought I was going to have to follow up with a tile contractor but he does that too--nice. A very pleasant experience the whole way around, will 100% call him in the future."

"Mark and Melissa have done multiple projects for us. In our previous home they installed a microwave above the range. In our current home, they installed a microwave in the existing cabinet and made it look like it have been there forever. The have also done several drywall repairs for us as well. Mark and Melissa are my go-to for any handyman project. They are meticulous and get it done right!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

You can paint over plaster, but repair any damage to the plaster first, or the paint will crack and bubble. You should also prepare the surface of the plaster to accept paint, which gives your paint job the best chance of looking good and lasting a long time. Before applying the color you want, apply a coat or two of primer. Additionally, use latex paint, and choose a latex paint with a satin finish for areas with dampness, like bathrooms.

Popular wall textures include orange peel, knockdown, spray sand, and smooth finishes. Orange peel and knockdown are particularly common choices for drywall as they are simple and cost-effective. Orange peel texture has a lightly bumpy surface resembling the skin of an orange, while knockdown (sometimes called knockout) looks like a stucco finish with flattened high spots. In contrast, popcorn texture has fallen out of fashion, partly due to its past association with asbestos and a shift toward more restrained interior design styles.

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.

Most handy homeowners can tackle removing texture from unpainted walls. Removing texture from painted walls is a bit trickier. Paint acts as a sealant, so you can’t soften the texture with water. Instead, you’ll have to add a layer of drywall compound known as a skim coat. This process is messy and takes some practice.

You can usually tell if you have plaster or drywall by touch (plaster is harder, colder, and smoother than drywall) or by tapping on it (drywall sounds hollow, plaster does not). If you still cannot tell, peek under an outlet cover and check the cut edges. The rough edges show the composition of the wall. You will see either drywall (two paper sheets sandwiching gypsum material) or only plaster material (no paper sheets).
