"Matt repaired a few areas of drywall in our ceiling that had been damaged by a leak and along the edges of some walls. He arrived on time, every time. The care he took with keeping the dust and debris down was outstanding. His repair looked excellent as well. I wouldn’t hesitate calling him again."

"Really happy with the drywall repair. Had a decent-sized hole in the wall that I figured would need a visible patch, but honestly you can't tell it was ever damaged - texture and paint match perfectly. Showed up when he said he would, got it done quickly, and cleaned up after himself too. No complaints at all, would definitely hire him again if something else comes up."

"The drywall repair in the ceiling turned out great. Mike did a great job of matching the texture. He also insulated a duct that was causing the condensation problem. He is very conscientious about his work."

"Bob and his Assistant showed up two days prior to give an estimate, and provided me with a list of all the materials needed to insulate and underpin the back of my home. It included a detailed list of items such as the correct screws, nails, metal sheating, and insulation to purchase. They had all their own tools though to complete the job. I ordered my own materials from Lowe's, according to his estimate. They showed up immediately, the very next day, after the Lowe's order was delivered and began working. They also power washed the entire exterior of the house, he brought his own power washer, and hoses. All I needed to do was supply the water and a water connection. Their service was average, he had somewhat of a fiesty atittude at times, long lunch and breaks, however, people need breaks and a lunch. Not a big deal. Lol. Otherwise, since the job was completed satisfactorily, and I was pleased with it, I will not complain about anything else. Yes, I will definitely use his services again in the future, if needed."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

You should stagger drywall sheets to help prevent cracking. The joints between drywall sheets are the weak spots, so if you install drywall with seams aligned, you’ll create weak lines that run across the length of the wall and extend from floor to ceiling. But when you stagger drywall, the solid sections of panels will support the joints. This can prevent seams from cracking or separating due to fluctuating temperature and humidity, vibrations from movement inside the home, and gravity.

The cost to skim coat drywall is $1.15 to $1.35 per square foot. Most of the cost is labor, for the necessary skills to apply the skim coat with precision using high-quality tools. This is a job better left to the professionals for the best outcomes.

With its breathability and flexibility, lime plaster is among the most durable of all plaster types. It's also fire-resistant and has a proven track record, as people have been using it for thousands of years.

However, all plaster types will last for many years with the right care and treatment. Proper preparation and installation will also help ensure your plaster walls look great for as long as possible.
