"Jess was a true professional who worked with attention to detail. We had a rather large job and I found him to be exceptionally personable. Very polite and always informed us of things he wanted us to know once the damage was fully revealed. Despite having a house completely torn apart from much damage from the recent storm that left 7 rooms affected he moved through the house with ease despite clutter, boxes and furniture that we tried to move out of the way. It was a pleasure to have him working in our home. He did extra things to mitigate damage we discovered from a mouse infestation suffered several years ago. I could not have been more pleased with his work. Price was reasonable. At end of project, he cleaned the site of debris and ensured we were satisfied with his work. I give him my highest recommendation for his attention to detail and the quality of his work. You will not go wrong by hiring him to do any drywall project, large or small. I will be calling him to do smaller projects in the future."

"Great service and did a great job patching up my drywall ceiling. The only recommendations for them is to charge by the hour and not just a set price. A job that takes less than a hour shouldnâ t be the same price for a job that takes 3 hours."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

You can put certain types of plaster over other types, but doing so isn't always the best idea. For example, putting a coat of gypsum over lime plaster is possible, but doing so will limit the lime plaster's breathability and potentially affect its performance.

Since cement plaster tends to leave a textured surface, no matter how much you smooth it, some people prefer to use gypsum plaster as a topcoat over cement plaster, creating a smoother surface.

If you’re installing new drywall, you may need to skim coat the drywall first for a smooth finish and to allow the primer to adhere to the wall. It’s only necessary if there are imperfections in your drywall due to issues with the studs or improper drywall installation. If you’re refreshing existing walls, you may want to skim coat if there are imperfections across the wall. As an alternative, you can repair your drywall and sand it for a smooth finish before painting.

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 technically just paint over hairline cracks in plaster since these cracks are often harmless, but this will mostly be a waste of paint. Paint will only hide the hairline crack for a few months before it shows up again. The best solution is to repair the crack with flexible filler or joint compound before repainting.

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.
