Customers say: Super punctual

"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

Regular dusting, occasional repainting, and avoiding harsh scrubbing preserve the finish.

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.

Drywall can be installed directly on ceiling joists. In fact, this method is common in many construction projects. Drywall sheets are attached to the joists using screws, ensuring a secure and stable installation. Before attaching the drywall, it's important to mark the joist locations on the ceiling, allowing for accurate screw placement. Proper spacing between screws and careful taping and mudding of joints are crucial to creating a smooth and flawless ceiling surface. If the joists are in good condition and level, installing drywall directly on them is a practical and efficient approach.

Look for flaking paint or air bubbles that burst and then flake away. Paint will begin to flake after being exposed to minimal moisture or water, so it’s a good indicator of any water damage. If you notice your paint starting to flake, feel the plaster underneath to see if it is soft or damp.

Certain drywall textures, like sand and sometimes popcorn, can be smoothed by applying skim coats, sanding the walls, or chipping away the texture. However, it’s worth considering removing the texture and starting with a blank canvas. Smoothing textured walls requires a lot of sandpaper and elbow grease and can take longer than just outright removing the texture.
