"If you need drywall work done, call Robert! He and Chris just finished up the drywall in my garage and it looks great. They promptly returned phone calls, were on-time, charged a fair price, and did quality work. They were very friendly too! I'd gladly recommend them anyone, including friends and family."

"We couldn't finish scraping and evening out our stippled ceiling that was inherited from previous owners. We asked for an estimate, Isaias came at a time convenient for us (Saturday), gave a fair estimate. He came back with his team and worked on our stippled ceiling for 3 days. They taped off the area, they brought their own ladders, they unrolled a stepping mat from the door to the work area to prevent tracking dirt in and out. Each day they came on time, every time. The new ceiling looks great. Will definitely hire them again."

"Paul has always been helpful and worked with us on a variety or projects; plumbing, electrical, carpentry, flooring. The price was good and the work lasted. He takes his time planning projects, but this means the work gets done right the first time. He has enough experience to know the quick short cut way that many contractors will use and the correct way that takes a little longer but lasts longer. He helped us with work on the kitchen floor of our old house and he was able to see the signs of years of damage that we would have otherwise missed. Paul saved us time and money when we got it sold!"

"I had to have my long driveway cleared from snow. James handled the job. Unlike other businesses in Charlottesville where it is hit and miss if they get back to you, James was in constant contact with me and followed up each of my calls and requests. He was thoroughly reliable, skilled, friendly, and patient. He did not leave the job until I was completely satisfied. He is a hard worker and I wish I could leave him 10 stars!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

A nail in drywall cannot hold very much—usually only a few pounds. A nail in a stud can add support and hold around 20 pounds. If you are trying to hang something heavier, get some help from drywall anchors—toggle bolts are very strong and able to withstand more weight.

Yes, you can put paneling over textured walls. Of course, this will come down to personal preference and the type of paneling you want to install. From board-and-batten to shiplap and wainscoting, there are plenty of options to choose from.

The cost to texture drywall depends on whether you want to do the work yourself or hire a professional. The cost of the drywall mud is far lower than labor costs for applying it. The labor cost to spray drywall compound onto a wall is between $0.80 and $1.50 per square foot, while you’ll pay between $1.50 and $2 per square foot for the labor to apply the texture by hand.

If your home was built before the 1940s and was not remodeled in the past 50 or so years, you probably have plaster walls. Aside from assuming, there are some practical ways to tell if you have plaster walls, including the following: If you knock on the wall and it feels solid, not hollow, if you can’t insert a thumbtack easily, if there are cracks that look like spiderwebs, or if your home has curved, arched, or swirled walls, doorways, or window openings.

If you have an unfinished basement or attic, you could examine the backs of any finished walls to check, too.

Whether Venetian plaster increases your home's value often depends on the buyer's preference. As a purely aesthetic upgrade, it doesn't add structural value in the same way a kitchen or bathroom remodel might. However, its beautiful and attractive appearance can make a home more appealing to potential buyers, possibly leading to more interest, higher offers, and increased competition when you sell.
