"Josue is one of the most professional contractors I have ever dealt with. He was always prompt and quickly addressed concerns we had during the process. When they were unable to lift the drywall through the window on the 3rd floor, they cut it down and carried it up. They glued all their drywall to the studs to reinforce it and make sure there are never any nail pops. If there are nail pops their services come backed by a warranty. We had some crazy angles on the roof line but after looking at it, you couldnâ t believe how good it looks! If I was doing my project over again, I would 100% us VDC again!"

"This was a very involved plaster repair and remediation job, in a very old house. Grady is the only person (or company) who was willing to take on the job and drive all the way from Pennsylvania to our home in Northern Virginia. There are very few people who do this kind of work anymore (we really searched) and he is an expert in his field. We needed to work around his schedule, because he is in demand in the tri-state area, so it took awhile to schedule the work to begin... but it was worth it."

"He came the same day and did the estimate and the work. He was very affordable, but definitely not a perfectionist. He didn't do a rough and finish coat, so I had to do a bit of finish sanding to get the areas smooth and even a bit of additional patch work where small bubbles had formed. He also didn't tape the woodwork so I had to do a bit of clean up of plaster splatters. In fairness, though, I did not call him to see if he would do these things to my satisfaction. I was eager to paint and went on and did it myself. If you are looking for cheap and quick, he fits the bill."

"After inspecting the needed work Wes gave a reasonable estimate for a minor repair/paint job to replace a section of rotten trim on fascia board.  He performed the work just as he said, within the timeframe he estimated.  I'm very happy with his professionalism and punctuality.  I would definitely hire him again for handyman work.

"My kitchen while some what functional was (to be honest) ugly. A friend recommended Anthony (Custom built and Painted) and when I called he sounded professional, knowledgeable, and was able to meet to give an estimate within a couple of days. His estimate was written in a very easy to read manner with all cost and options spelled out in plan English. He did not hesitate to answer any question I had and he was not pushy when "selling". When he cam in the first day to start the work he laid down drop cloths and hung plastic in the kitchen doorways to avoid tracking in dirt and spreading dust through out the house.

While in was a little inconvenient to lose my kitchen for a week (I really didn't mind not cooking that much!) the end results were well worth it. The price was a little higher than I had originally planned but after adding in a pull out spice rack and a few extra cabinets I was happy with it. He also finished removing the old nasty wallpaper we had inherited from the previous owners (I had tried but stopped when I started to get more wall than paper off) and patched and painted the walls. You can't even  tell where my attempt at home improvement was.

After he was finished and had removed all of his tools he even cleaned my kitchen (I can't even get my husband to do that :) to remove any leftover dust. He and his guys were very polite and respectful of my home (no trash or tools left laying around at the end of the day, they did not go into other parts of the house, etc.) the entire time they were there (about a week). From start to finish they did what they promised to do in the time frame quoted. Overall I was very happy with  the service and would highly recommend them to anyone!"

Plaster Repair FAQs, answered by experts

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.

You can plaster over regular drywall, but it's essential to prepare the surface properly. Before plastering, the drywall should be clean, free of dust, and any loose or peeling paint should be removed. Applying a primer specifically designed for plastering can improve adhesion. Some professionals recommend applying a base coat of plaster or joint compound to create a better surface for the plaster to adhere to. Proper preparation ensures a smooth and durable plaster finish over regular drywall.

Yes, you can install drywall over plaster, but there are important factors to consider. While it can create a smooth, flat surface, it is often not the best approach. Installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall's thickness, which can cause issues with existing window and door frames that may no longer fit. You might also need to adjust power outlets to keep them accessible. A better, though more expensive, option is to remove the old plaster and lath entirely before installing new drywall. Drywalling directly over plaster seals in the old material, and if any problems arise later, you will need to remove both layers down to the structural beams for repairs. Given the potential complications, this job is best handled by professionals.

Although they have similar applications, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Their primary differences lie in their composition, consistency, and ideal use cases.

Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it thicker than joint compound. It dries quickly and is easy to sand, which makes it ideal for small wall repair projects like filling nail holes or patching minor damage.

Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum. It is primarily used for large-scale projects, such as taping and finishing the seams on newly installed drywall. It tends to shrink more than spackle and can be more difficult to spread.

While both products can be used to fill small depressions and cracks, spackle cannot replace joint compound for taping and mudding new drywall. Conversely, you can often use joint compound for small patching jobs typically done with spackle.

If your premixed drywall mud is dried out or has begun to set in the bucket, you may be able to revive it by adding warm water and stirring. However, the first and most important step is to scrape off any hard, dried bits of drywall that may have accumulated toward the top of the container and throw them away because they will not easily reconstitute back into the drywall mud mix.
