"Nelson and his crew were very professional- polite-outstanding at their job. Their work was meticulous. They arrived on time and the clean up superb. It was as if the were working on their own home. They also worked around my dog (Milo loved them).I have more projects that they are going to do for me. THEY ARE MY NEW GO TO FOR ALL FUTURE JOBS. The drywall-painting 3 rooms-new flooring looks fantastic. I could not be happier. I will recommend them to all my family and friends. My house has never looked so good. Also, upon Nelsons first visit, he removed his shoes--I WAS SOLD"

"I had an outstanding experience with ShoreFix Construction & Home Repairs! They replaced my fence, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. My new fence is absolutely beautiful, and I especially love the decorative fixtures—they add the perfect finishing touch. The team was professional, friendly, and made sure everything was completed exactly as I requested. They paid close attention to every detail and delivered high-quality workmanship from start to finish. When the job was finished, they cleaned up the entire work area and hauled away all of the old wood, leaving my yard neat and spotless. Their excellent customer service and dedication to doing the job right truly stood out. I highly recommend ShoreFix Construction & Home Repairs to anyone looking for quality work, and I will definitely be hiring them again for future projects!"

"I bought a Condo as is, it was in need of a lot of work. Antonio and Manuel did an amazing job. Painting, patching and plastering. The second bathroom ceiling was a disaster and when they were done, the entire place looked brand new. I recommend them highly. Excellent work, five stars"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Both plaster and drywall are durable wall finishes, but they differ significantly in installation, cost, performance, and aesthetics.

Installation & Cost: Drywall installation is faster and more affordable, typically costing $1.50 to $3 per square foot. It uses premade sheets, making it a more accessible DIY project. Plastering is a labor-intensive craft that requires specialized skills, pushing costs to $2 to $10 per square foot. It involves applying a wet paste over a lath framework.

Durability & Performance: Plaster is generally more durable, longer-lasting, and provides superior soundproofing. It is also a better insulator, which can help reduce energy costs. Drywall is easier to remove for future renovations.

Aesthetics: Drywall provides a smooth, uniform surface ready for paint or texture. Plaster offers a high-end, naturally textured look that can hide imperfections and is often preferred for achieving a classic or historic aesthetic.

Which is better? The choice depends on your priorities. Drywall is ideal for those prioritizing a lower upfront cost, faster installation, and DIY potential. Plaster is the better option for a higher-end project where durability, soundproofing, and a unique, premium finish are more important than the initial cost.

Yes, it is possible to rewire a house without removing the drywall, but this doesn’t work in all homes. You can pull out old wires and insert new ones if you have access to the wiring system via the ceiling or through a crawl space. Some pros can also use a magnetic kit to fish the old wire out of the wall through a hole cavity and install the new wires. Just keep in mind that doing this is less stable than removing drywall, as you won’t be able to staple the wires into the framing.

When used correctly, drywall patch kits can work well. However, there are limitations. Specifically, these kits can only cover holes up to 5 inches in diameter. For anything larger than that, you’ll need to cut out the affected section of drywall and replace it with a new piece. That’s a far more complicated process that involves buying the right type of drywall, finding the wall studs, cutting into your wall, and screwing the replacement drywall in place.

The tool you use to sand plaster will depend on the size of the project. If you’re just working on a small section of your wall to get rid of an uneven spot on the surface, hand-sanding might work. However, for larger projects, a drywall sander can make a huge difference when it comes to both time and elbow grease—and an orbital sander can help for detailed areas such as around ceiling fans.

Drying alone can take 1 to 4 hours to dry to the touch per plaster layer, but some types of plaster take several hours longer to dry. However, this doesn’t mean the job is done because plaster doesn’t fully harden until it cures, which can take a few days to a couple of weeks. It may take even longer if you’re building a new, pretty thick plaster wall. Allow the plaster to cure before painting it.
