"Drywall and Paint LLC Snohomish just completed the removal of popcorn ceilings and interior painting of my 1979 home. Out of the three bids I got, his was the middle bid. I chose this company as David Morales and his team impressed me as being trustworthy. I am so glad I did! They communicated the exact hours of work, and were true to their word. Part of the project was to remove and drywall over a doorway. David added two studs and patched it up! There is no evidence of the doorway. He also filled various holes throughout my house where there use to be outlets. It is wonderful to have this project completed so professionally. I highly recommend this company to others!"

"I contacted Near Me Roofing Company after referred from a few on our neighbourhood facebook page. They did not disappoint their referrals. They were scheduled the repair call within a few hours. Cost of repair was explained over the phone in detail. They were to fix my missing shingles on the spot. Awesome roofing service company!"

"Ernie was knowledgeable and thorough. He repaired several cut holes in the ceiling of the house we just moved into where the previous owners had cut through to install some venting. I have some construction background but this job I did not want to tackle myself. Ernie patched and re-textured the entire 600 sq for area. He was enjoyable to have in our home and his work was impeccable. You cannot even tell patchwork was done, the ceiling looks perfect. He was tidy and cleaned up well and was all around just fantastic. His son helped with the texturing and was also very personable. Overall a great experience and I would hire Ernie again in a heartbeat. Trustworthy, honest and his work is solid."

"After an initial mis-que on scheduling, the tech came early and was very pleasant, let me know what he was going to do and why did a very good job cleaning up top as well as in/around my dirty woodstove. Also, some bricks were out of place and he repositioned those for me as well without me even asking. Very satisfied."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

You can repair plaster ceilings yourself after the cause of the ceiling damage has been addressed. However, the repair can easily take 5 hours and can be slightly challenging for those without previous experience. If you do decide to flex your DIY muscle, have a helper to help hold the ladder and pass you the tools for safety purposes.

Only use spackle on plaster walls when the imperfection is small. It’s best used for nail holes or small dings in the plaster. Spackle dries quickly, allowing you to continue the repair process shortly after using it. Plaster can be tricky to repair, though, so if you run into issues, call a pro so that you don’t risk further damage.

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.

Smaller is better when patching holes with spackle. Any holes wider than four to six inches in diameter tend to be too wide to repair with spackle alone. You'll likely want to patch bigger holes with a drywall panel. 

Even holes measuring up to 6 inches may be challenging to fill with spackle alone. For best results, purchase a wall repair patch made from wire mesh. Cut the patch to fit over the hole, then use the spackle to hold it in place. Apply the spackle over the patch as you would for a smaller hole.

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.
