"Josue was extremely professional and an overall pleasure to work with. He and his team always arrived promptly, and regularly communicated with me regarding their progress and anticipated completion date. The project involved removal of a popcorn ceiling and installation of new insulation and drywall. The space was left spotless upon completion. I highly recommend Josue and his team!"

"Mr. Dunn faced a complex drywall repair since it first required him to increase the protection around the pipe that caused the leak and damage to the ceiling in our upstairs bathroom. He assessed the problem and repaired joint. He then turned his attention to the damaged ceiling, removing the area and squaring it off. He then constructed, installed, affixed and finally painted the drywall repair and the ceiling area surrounding the repair. Throughout this multi-day process, which required several trips for supplies as well as three days to insure the drywall was installed properly, his demeanor remained professional and his attitude positive. His pricing was fair and the invoicing accurately described the work. I will recommend him to others and, should we need services again, he will be the first person I call."

Customers say: Quick response

"I had a small roof repair job and was having a hard time finding a handyman/contractor that would return my calls or just schedule a time to go out. Within minutes of putting my add on homeadvisor.com I was contacted by Wayne who referred me to his son Scott who did a fabulous job! I was so impressed by his level of professionalism and the job he did for the price. I would definitely recommend!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

If you already have plaster walls and ceilings, adding new plaster costs $2 to $10 per square foot. For an average-sized room, that would come out to $1,200 to $10,000. However, the cost to replace plaster with drywall is higher—running between $720 and $1,250 for a 10-by-8-foot wall or ceiling (not including drywall finishing).

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.

There is no way to cut drywall without making dust, but you can reduce the amount of dust and especially the dangerous airborne particles by using manual cutting tools. Using a utility knife to score and snap your drywall will minimize dust production, and a jab saw for cutting cutouts for boxes and fixtures will generate almost no airborne dust. Even if you use these methods, you should still wear a respirator and safety goggles to avoid damage to your lungs and eyes.

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.

It's generally recommended to hang drywall on the ceiling first before moving on to the walls. This sequence allows the ceiling sheets to provide support for the vertical wall sheets. By attaching the ceiling drywall initially, you establish a solid framework to align and attach the wall panels accurately. This method ensures a seamless and sturdy connection between the ceiling and walls, resulting in a more professional finish.
