Are plaster walls better than drywall?

• <div><p>Drywall installation is considerably faster and more affordable than plastering. Because plastering involves applying a wet material, it’s more time-consuming, takes longer to dry, and is more prone to cracking. It doesn’t tend to be as insulative either. If you need resurfacing work done on the walls, it's not unusual for the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-plaster-walls.htm">cost of plastering</a> to hit $10 per square foot, which is much higher than the drywall installation costs of $1.50 to $3 per square foot.</p><p>If you’re looking for good soundproofing and want a high-end look in a historic home, though, plastering may be the better option.</p></div>

Q: Does installing new drywall increase home value?

• <div><p>In many cases, installing new drywall will boost your home value. Replacing old, damaged, cracked, or wavy drywall is a great way to improve the look and feel of your home, as new drywall installed by a professional shouldn&rsquo;t have any imperfections. Additionally, removing old drywall means you&rsquo;ll have open walls, so you can install new insulation and address exposed issues with plumbing and electrical systems running behind the walls. All of these fixes will also add to your home&rsquo;s value.</p></div>

Q: Do you put mesh on before or after drywall mud?

• <div><p>Whether you apply the drywall mesh before or after drywall mud depends on the type of patch it is. For self-adhesive patches, you&rsquo;ll put the patch down first and then coat it with mud. Mesh patches that are not self-adhesive will require you to put mud down first and then press the mesh into it, followed by additional coats of mud.</p></div>

Q: Can drywall be installed in an unheated garage?

• <div><p>You can drywall an unheated garage because the material handles cold temperatures perfectly well. There are no risks or downsides to installing drywall in a garage that is not heated, and the material stands up to moisture and other elements quite well. Drywall will protect your unheated garage's electric wires and cables and add fire protection. However, for effective bonding, you should install drywall at a temperature of 55 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.</p></div>

Q: Can you put a backsplash on drywall?

• <div><p>You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-put-backsplash-on-drywall.htm">install backsplash on kitchen drywall</a>, as long as you ensure your drywall is clean and dry before you apply the tiles. Your kitchen walls should be made of green board drywall, which is moisture-resistant. If you don&rsquo;t have green board where your new backsplash will go, you should swap it out.</p></div>
