"I am very happy with the work Beau and Daniel did on my kitchen and hallway ( painting walls & trim, patchwork). They arrived on time each day, were very professional,courteous,and completed the job and in actually less time than Beau had estimated ~ hard workers these two. I had gotten other quotes, but Ace beat them them AND did an excellent job. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them again. :)"

My name is Isidro but I go by Izzy, I’m a 36 y/o family man with a supportive wife and three kids. I’m a ((passionate)) taper and drywall finisher, I also enjoy doing interior painting and luxury wall designs, texture, and venetian plaster. I’m an honest and reliable worker with attention to detail who prioritizes customer satisfaction. I have worked as a district painter for township school district 211 and for drywall companies such as Mjs Drywall and Patch Masters of North Shore, my niche is taping and finishing but look forward to providing you with quality work!

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Plaster is denser, harder, and more porous than drywall, so it absorbs moisture differently. This means you’ll often need more prep work, such as thorough sanding, patching, and priming with a high-quality bonding primer. Additionally, you may need more coats of paint to achieve even coverage. While the process takes more time, it helps ensure a durable and professional-looking result.

There are a few ways to figure out if your walls are plaster or drywall, but the pushpin method is probably the easiest option. To try it, choose a part of your wall where you can insert a pushpin or thumbtack without leaving an obvious mark. If it goes in easily, you have drywall. But if the wall is tough to penetrate, that’s plaster.

The best tool for skim coating drywall is a skim coating blade, which can smooth out joint compound in wide stretches. While you could use a smaller drywall knife for skim coating, the smaller size means it’ll take longer to smooth out each section. Instead, consider investing in a skim coating blade for the quickest application.

You can technically just paint over hairline cracks in plaster since these cracks are often harmless, but this will mostly be a waste of paint. Paint will only hide the hairline crack for a few months before it shows up again. The best solution is to repair the crack with flexible filler or joint compound before repainting.

The cost to texture drywall depends on whether you want to do the work yourself or hire a professional. The cost of the drywall mud is far lower than labor costs for applying it. The labor cost to spray drywall compound onto a wall is between $0.80 and $1.50 per square foot, while you’ll pay between $1.50 and $2 per square foot for the labor to apply the texture by hand.
