"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

Yes, you can apply new plaster over an existing plaster surface, such as a wall or ceiling, provided the old plaster is in good condition. Before you begin, check the stability of the existing plaster. The surface must be clean, free of loose material, and have no peeling paint. It is also recommended to roughen the surface slightly to promote adhesion. For older plaster, applying a base coat like a PVA emulsion or a specific bonding agent or primer is crucial. This step makes the existing plaster less porous and ensures the new and old layers adhere properly for a smooth, long-lasting finish.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

If you're comfortable hanging drywall yourself, you may be comfortable finishing it. But it's worth noting that finishing drywall adds several steps to the process and a lot of waiting time. Hiring a drywall installer may be the way to go if you'd rather spend your time doing other things or are nervous about leaving a rough surface.

A common cause of separation between a wall and the ceiling is truss lift—this can happen to the ceiling of rooms directly under the attic when the seasons change and wood building materials dry out, shrink, and shift. Roof trusses often dry out at different speeds, and if the bottom pieces dry out faster than the top pieces, they can shrink and pull the attached drywall away from ceilings and walls, causing cracks. Fortunately, truss lift is only a cosmetic problem, not a structural problem, and you can fix it by separating the ceiling drywall from the roof trusses, and patching the cracks.

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.
