"They showed up on time and finished earlier than I expected.  Our house was built in 1986 with not enough power outlets in the garage.  Not even capable of installing garage door openers.  We wanted to also hook up a spare fridge and have some outlets for power tools / lawn equipment, etc.  They had to cut open some drywall to make this happen, but they were very neat about it and we will patch that on our own.  They have an outsourced service for those repairs, but we are choosing to to use it.  Everything works and looks great.  For a much lower price than another competitors quote.

"This is my second A review of Rife Remodeling. They also replaced our roof in 2016. There is no better review than a repeat customer! I immediately contacted John when we decided we wanted to fence the yard. He was quick with the estimate, but I had not expected it to be completed until warmer weather. But his crew was here in just a few days to get started. Super nice bunch who do fantastic work and clean up after themselves. Very very pleased with the fence, the price, and the crew. The dogs are loving the yard too! I will be seeing them for the next project!!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can use drywall repair techniques for some types of plaster damage. Tiny holes and small cracks in plaster can be patched in similar ways to drywall. You apply the necessary compound to fill the hole, wait for it to dry, then sand it down. For larger damage, like water damage or mold, you need to use plaster-specific techniques and materials.

Many homeowners choose to install tongue and groove over drywall. The great thing about this type of ceiling is that it hides imperfections. If your drywall is a little bit wonky or has some minor damage, the tongue and groove planks should cover it and give it an even appearance. Installation is simplest if you install battens over the existing framing before installing your tongue and groove planks.

Plaster is denser, harder, and more porous than drywall, so it absorbs moisture differently. This means you’ll often need more prep work, such as thorough sanding, patching, and priming with a high-quality bonding primer. Additionally, you may need more coats of paint to achieve even coverage. While the process takes more time, it helps ensure a durable and professional-looking result.

You can paint over drywall mud about 24 hours after application, but the exact timing depends on factors like humidity, temperature, and the thickness of the mud. For the best results, ensure the mud is completely dry to the touch and has changed from a darker gray to a lighter, chalky white. Don’t forget to sand and prime the drywall surface before you paint to create a smooth, even finish.

There are a few ways to figure out if your walls are plaster or drywall, but the pushpin method is probably the easiest option. To try it, choose a part of your wall where you can insert a pushpin or thumbtack without leaving an obvious mark. If it goes in easily, you have drywall. But if the wall is tough to penetrate, that’s plaster.
