What is the difference between drywall and plaster?
Drywall (also called sheetrock or gypsum board) is a modern wall material made of gypsum sandwiched between paper layers. It is cost-effective and quick to install. Plaster is a traditional wall finish applied in multiple coats over lath or drywall. Plaster is more durable and provides better soundproofing but is more expensive and time-consuming to install. Many older New England homes have plaster walls.
Can you repair plaster walls in older homes?
Yes, we specialize in plaster repair for older Massachusetts homes. We can patch cracks, repair holes, skim coat damaged areas, and restore plaster to a smooth, paint-ready finish. We match the texture and finish of your existing plaster so repairs blend seamlessly.
Do you handle water-damaged drywall?
Yes, we repair and replace water-damaged drywall. It is important to address water damage promptly to prevent mold growth and structural issues. We remove damaged sections, ensure the area is dry, treat for mold if necessary, and install new drywall with a seamless finish.
What is skim coating and when is it needed?
Skim coating is the process of applying a thin layer of joint compound over an entire wall or ceiling to create a smooth, uniform surface. It is often needed to repair textured walls, cover imperfections, or prepare old plaster walls for painting. Skim coating provides a modern, smooth finish.
How do you prepare drywall for painting?
After installation or repair, we sand all joints and seams smooth, apply primer to new drywall or repaired areas, and ensure the surface is clean and dust-free. Proper preparation is essential for a smooth, professional paint finish.
