"John repaired stucco cracks around some windows and corners. He also cleaned out a long expansion joint and then painted some large wall areas with elastomeric paint. He is a very experienced pro, is meticulous about his work and is one of the best contractors I have used, especially in relation to keeping his client informed about his planned work and schedule. His price was competitive, he voluntarily did some extras and was all-around a very courteous gentleman to work with. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again."

"Alex was very communicative and flexible with my schedule. We spoke on the phone, toured the home, and he gave me a reasonable quote. He finished the job a day early and I am very satisfied with his work and would hire him again in the future."

"David was very active in completing,informing me of status of project and addressing issue during the project. Great job in remodeling home.Strengths: Drywall repair, flooring, painting, cabinetry, plumbing Weakness: Electrical, tiling, response after completionHis crew installed ceiling fans and the functionality was no longer consistent. If you turned on/off switch one room it controlled the fan and the other it controlled the light requiring you to manually turn off/on the unaffected at the fan. Electrical outlets on back wall of a room became inoperable. According to contractors, it was already that way. As I lived there before and had tenants in home for 3 yrs-it was not likely. David said he would have someone come look at it. As of Nov 19, he still has not sent anyone and has stop responding to me. Bathrooms were updated nicely from aged 1968 setting. The tilling in showers mediocre. Caulking was not neatly done and began to crack and fall apart in less than 2 months. After two attempts to correct the issues, it still is not corrected as of today. The big issue was a question, asked by my wife, if home needed to be leveled prior to remodeling due to a crack noticed in wall. It was answered no as the crack was due to home settling. Remodeled was done, house continued to degrade and broke some of the work they had done. David assured he was going to take care of it-but there has been no response until now. I have moved to find others to fix the deficiencies. I would suggest ensuring David is not stretched to thin in trying to do too many jobs. That has been his reason before in delays to return."

"Henry painted the interior of my home that had damage from a foundation repair completed in November 2025. He did a fantastic job! Henry also painted and repaired the walls and base boards in several other rooms. He completed this project in short time and cleaned up everything. I would hire Henry for any future projects that I might have in my home."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

A post-drywall inspection could uncover many problems that weren’t present during the pre-drywall inspection, including insufficient insulation, missing weather stripping, improperly installed plumbing and lighting fixtures, flooring damage, drywall damage, plumbing leaks, aesthetic issues, and more. Structural problems, which are often expensive to fix and are common reasons to walk away after a home inspection, are easier to see before the drywall goes up, but a post-drywall inspection may highlight minor issues with house settling and foundation problems.

Yes, you can install drywall over plaster, but there are important factors to consider. While it can create a smooth, flat surface, it is often not the best approach. Installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall's thickness, which can cause issues with existing window and door frames that may no longer fit. You might also need to adjust power outlets to keep them accessible. A better, though more expensive, option is to remove the old plaster and lath entirely before installing new drywall. Drywalling directly over plaster seals in the old material, and if any problems arise later, you will need to remove both layers down to the structural beams for repairs. Given the potential complications, this job is best handled by professionals.

You can repair plaster ceilings yourself after the cause of the ceiling damage has been addressed. However, the repair can easily take 5 hours and can be slightly challenging for those without previous experience. If you do decide to flex your DIY muscle, have a helper to help hold the ladder and pass you the tools for safety purposes.

The two most common drywall thicknesses for ceilings are 1/2-inch and 5/8-inch. For most standard residential applications, 1/2-inch drywall is sufficient and widely used. It provides adequate support and is lighter and easier to handle during installation compared to thicker sheets. However, 5/8-inch drywall is often used for specific cases where additional benefits are needed. It is heavier but provides superior sound dampening and fire resistance. You should consider using 5/8-inch drywall for ceilings in commercial buildings, between a garage and a living space, or above a finished basement to meet building codes or for enhanced soundproofing.

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.
