"Mr. Mills showed up on time after i had 2 other co tractors no show. Not only was his work outstanding but his price was unbeatable. He and his coworker were friendly and efficient, completing the job in about 2 hours start to finish. I would highly recommend Mr. Mills and his crew to anyone who needs drywall work done."

"These guys did an excellent job for me. I hired them to replace a rear deck, redo handrails on two porches and install an upstairs window that needed replacement. Excellent workmanship and finished the work quickly. They made it real simple, I showed them what I wanted done and the next day I had a quote and they were eager to get started. There were a few weather delays but they showed up as soon as weather permitted and got the work done. Some hidden damage that needed repair was uncovered midway and the repair was no problem and fixed right. I have already talked with these guys about my next project and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality work"

"I highly recommend E&D Plastering. I had a very large hole (~30"x42") in my hallway ceiling, another very large hole in a closet ceiling from removing an old air handler, and a huge sagging area in my son's bedroom ceiling. Eddie repaired all the holes, including some areas in the closet wall that were just missing drywall. He cut out all the sagging areas of ceiling. He repaired everything and finished it all so that it matches the existing textures. He was careful to cover the walk through the house and all the furniture in my son's room with paper and plastic. He swept up and mopped when the job was done. His price was more than fair. His communication about the job was excellent. He came when he said he would. I will definitely hire him again in the future."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

A utility knife is sharp enough to score the drywall and it may work in a pinch for outlet box holes. However, one of the best tools for drywall when you need to make exact cuts for an outlet box quickly is a drywall saw. This handheld tool has a longer blade than a utility knife, so it penetrates the thickness of the drywall easily. The design of its handle and the teeth in its blade make it easier to control while cutting quicker than you can with a utility knife.

Furring strips, thin strips of wood or metal, are not always required for ceiling drywall installation. If the ceiling surface is even and in good condition, drywall can be directly attached to the ceiling joists using screws. However, furring strips become essential when dealing with irregular surfaces or when additional insulation or soundproofing is needed. They create a level substrate for attaching the drywall. Ultimately, the decision to use furring strips depends on the condition of the existing ceiling and the specific requirements of the project.

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.

Whether you need drywall anchors depends on your specific project, particularly where you are hanging an item. Drywall anchors are not necessary if you can drive a screw directly into a wooden stud behind the wall, as the stud provides sufficient support. However, since studs are not present everywhere in a wall, you will need to use drywall anchors if you are hanging an object in a location without a stud. For very lightweight items, picture hanging strips can also be a suitable alternative.

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.
