Best Plaster and Drywall Services in Perth Amboy, NJ

We will start painting after the carpenters have completely finished. You will not save time on a new construction job by having us start work while the carpenters are working in a different part of the house. Carpenters create lots of dust which will inevitably end up in your trim paint and ruin the finish. Carpenters will also be changing small things throughout the house on their punch list until they leave. A small change for the carpenters can easily force us to re-paint entire walls or rooms after they have been completed. That wastes time and money. Your electrician should return after we are completely finished to hang your light fixtures. If the electrician hangs your fixtures before we paint, we will either paint around them or he will need to return to re-hang them when the job is completed.

You need to move all the small, delicate, and valuable items from the work area. Other examples include:You should remove all your wall hangings before we arrive, but we can help you move heavy mirrors. You need to move the books, but we will move the bookshelf. Disconnect any large flat-screen TVs before we arrive. We will handle the sofas, desks, chairs, and beds.

We mix our own plaster for repairs. Depending on the size of the hole, we may mix the plaster with steel wool. If a significant section of a plaster wall or ceiling is damaged, we may recommend installing a new section of sheetrock. When dealing with cracks in plaster, we use a knife to open up the crack and remove the pressure before filling the crack with new plaster.

We do not do faux (or specialty) painting and we do not hang wallpaper. Most good wallpaper hangers and faux painters want to practice their particular craft full time. We will come in before they do to prepare the walls and apply a base coat. If you would like referrals for faux painters or wallpaper hangers, please ask us.
