"Ron and his team did an awesome job on repairing the drywall in my son's bedroom. We removed an accent wall that left damage to the wall. Ron reached out immediately and had great communication with me. He was able to do the job the next day. Highly recommend him to others! He will be be my go-to if I ruin any more walls in our house : )"

"Larry made repairs to our ceiling that were only necessary where others quoted replacement of drywall and much more cost. Larry was fast, clean and did a great job!"

"I had an excellent experience with this drywall company from start to finish. They were professional, punctual, and did outstanding work. The quality of the drywall installation and finishing was flawless ? smooth seams, clean edges, and great attention to detail. They kept the work area clean, communicated clearly throughout the process, and completed everything on time. It?s hard to find contractors who take this much pride in their work. I highly recommend them and would absolutely use them again!"

"Everything went smoothly, from calling to schedule service, through completion. They called ahead to get information about the surfaces that required repair so that they could plan timing, tools, and materials accordingly. I had to wait several weeks for an appointment, but that is frequently the timeframe for services purchased via a deal, so it wasn't a problem. On the day of, once patching was done, the repairman reminded me to wait 24 hours and then sand the patches before painting. He offered that they could come back and do that step but since it had taken a few weeks already to schedule, I thought I might as well do the sanding myself rather than schedule another appointment.  I wish they had brought up the need to wait 24 hours for sanding when I originally scheduled my appointment. It would have been great to line up the second visit at that point - that is the only thing I would change.

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.

Yes, you can use drywall repair techniques for some types of plaster damage. Tiny holes and small cracks in plaster can be patched in similar ways to drywall. You apply the necessary compound to fill the hole, wait for it to dry, then sand it down. For larger damage, like water damage or mold, you need to use plaster-specific techniques and materials.

Plaster provides a durable, soundproof, and moisture-resistant finish compared to drywall.

Like many other repair projects, the cost to fix a behind-the-wall shower leak depends on several factors. The cost of your repair may depend on the type of leak (from a clog or burst pipe), type of piping, and location of the leak. The extent of the issue and how difficult it is to access the pipes can greatly impact and increase your price. On average, you can expect to pay around $150 to $600 to repair a leaking shower.

Repairing plaster walls or ceilings is almost always worthwhile. It restores the appearance of your home, and if it's an exterior wall, the repair can improve curb appeal and provide a great return on investment when selling. Plaster repairs can also reinforce the wall, preventing minor cracks from spreading, and improve your home’s energy efficiency by fixing gaps in the insulative material, potentially lowering your heating and cooling bills. Additionally, hiring a professional allows them to check if the damage is from a serious underlying issue, such as foundation instability. Catching a problem like this early could save you thousands.
