"Tim and his crew tore out my cracked plaster ceilings and replaced them with drywall. He showed up when he said he would, met the timeline he provided, and they did a nice job cleaning up after themselves."

"Adam is 10/10 in all aspects of professionalism and customer service. He is a true drywall and ceiling master. He does not cut corners and goes above and beyond in preparation and clean-up. He will cover 100% of your living space so after he finishes and leaves for the day or after the job is complete, it’s almost like he never was there. He points out possible or potential future issues one may have inside the ceiling and will describe and perform the steps to prevent any future issues once the ceiling is set. He accurately quotes his job, and you will pay exactly what his initial job quote was. He accepts all types of payment. His quotes are fair and what a professional will charge, with no up charge. Some other person may quote a lower price, but you’ll have problems and major mess on your hands if you take the lowball quote. He is a Master Drywaller and is faithful to you until he completes your job. He won’t stop mid-way to leave for a bigger project. He commits to you."

"My bathroom was very outdated it was an add on from the 1970â s oddly shaped the sore thumb of our house. Not having a huge. Budget the estimates we were getting were double what we wanted to spend. We called cavalry home renovations after a friend recommended them. Santino came and looked at the project and came back with an estimate for a full gut and one that would work within our budget. He worked with us to get good quality material for a good price. The end result was more than we ever dreamed. Santino was very professional, knowledgeable and very approachable. He kept us informed and project was done in timely manner. It was a pleasure having santino do our project he is very friendly and ready to answer any questions and concerns we had. We have since decided to hire Cavalry home renovation to replace all trim and bass in our home. We highly recommend Santino and Cavalry Home renovations."

FAQs for drywall and plastering projects in Des Moines, IA

Load-bearing walls support the weight of your home's structure, including floors, roofs, and other building components. Non-load-bearing walls, on the other hand, serve only as partitions or room dividers. All exterior walls are typically load-bearing, even if they have design features like bump-outs or large glass panels. These walls need precise construction to ensure your home's structural integrity.

Removing a wall costs anywhere from $300 to $10,000 , depending on the size and whether it's load-bearing. Removing load-bearing walls is a more labor-intensive process and typically costs more. To get an accurate estimate for your project, consult a local contractor with the specifics of your wall.

Yes, there are other projects you can tackle at the same time when building a wall. Upgrading to energy-efficient windows or doors can enhance your home’s sustainability and can be integrated into the wall construction process. You might also consider removing existing walls to create an open-concept layout or building a home addition for extra space. Coordinating multiple projects can be cost-effective and streamline your renovation timeline. Discuss your goals with a contractor to help you plan effectively and maximize the benefits of your renovation.

The cost to build a partition wall varies depending on the size and type you choose. Half walls that don't reach the ceiling cost about $10 to $20 per linear foot . Full partition walls made with drywall may cost more due to additional materials and labor. Prices for accordion or panel walls vary widely based on materials and design. Factors like electrical work, insulation, and finishes will also influence your total cost.

Framing is the backbone of wall construction, creating a secure structure that supports everything else. Quality framing ensures that studs, electrical wiring, and plumbing are properly integrated into your home's design. A professional installer uses reliable materials like wood or metal to build a framework that meets building codes and ensures your wall is durable and safe.
