"I hired Precise Drywall and Paint based on the recommendation of Hivex Basement Finishing Company. My wife and I could not be happier with the quality of work, the precise way they executed the project, and their customer service. We trusted them to repaint almost the entire interior of our home and patch drywall and they did not disappoint us. I intend to hire them to do patch the drywall and paint my garage in the spring 2025. I recommend this company for your painting and drywall projects."

In the end the complicated drywall and paint job job was absolutely superb and completed on time and within budget. He and his crew were courteous and we hardly knew they were here. I will hire him again and will tell all my friends about him."

"I was very pleased with the overall experience. It is difficult to find people willing to do work in Lake of the Woods and Jose Linares was quick to respond to my job posting. We arranged for him to come by to estimate the job, and hired him immediately. I appreciate the speed at which they were able to start the job, and the notifications of when they would arrive on the scheduled date. (Always on time.) The work (patching several large cracks in drywall where the walls meet the ceiling) was done professionally and quickly. I will definitely hire this company again should we have a need for additional drywall work or painting."

"This was one of the best experiences I have had!! The customer service was excellent! It is so very rare to find companies that sincerely care about meeting the needs of their customer! The quality of work was superb! I needed the drywall and paint job done quickly and he arranged his schedule to meet my deadline. He even did specials touch ups without my asking. We will definitely use him again! This company takes pride in good quality work! See the picture below! You can’t even find where the holes were. If you are looking for a job well done, I would highly recommend that you contact VA Painting LLC at 571-473-8404!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Whether you apply the drywall mesh before or after drywall mud depends on the type of patch it is. For self-adhesive patches, you’ll put the patch down first and then coat it with mud. Mesh patches that are not self-adhesive will require you to put mud down first and then press the mesh into it, followed by additional coats of mud.

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.

You should do a little bit of sanding between adding coats of mud. Knock down any ridges or significantly imperfect areas through sanding, which should help you apply the next coat of mud smoothly. If your first coat of mud is pretty smooth after it dries, a quick sanding is all you’ll need. Don’t forget to wipe away any dust after each sanding process.

Plaster walls typically last between 30 and 70 years, but depending on the quality of the materials and the moisture levels in the building, they can last for over 100 years. With expert application and consistent maintenance, plaster can even last for centuries. To extend its lifespan, it is important to have the plaster professionally installed, address any water damage promptly, and repair small cracks as they appear. Regular inspections by a professional can help identify and address concerning cracks before they become significant issues.

You’ll want to inspect your plaster walls for signs of damage before painting. If you notice soft spots, deep cracks, bubbling, or areas where the plaster is crumbling or pulling away from the wall, it likely needs repair. While small hairline cracks are common and likely cosmetic, you should address larger issues before painting to ensure a quality, smooth finish.
