"John responded quickly when I called to drywall a couple of walls that had been damaged due to a water leak. He came over in a couple of days to give a quote and scheduled the work in the same week. He arrived promptly as per schedule and finished the work on time and professionally. Very happy with his promptness and professionalism and would definitely use again.

"I called Ferraz to hang new drywall and plaster the walls of bedroom in a rental apartment. Ferraz give me a quick estimate (he actually picks up the phone!) and was cheaper than 2 others that called. He was able to do my job quickly (in and out in one day) and cleaned up after themselves. His workers were very respectful. I will definitely be calling them for my plaster work again!"

"Our family did a huge addition with a family basement(playroom) living room/dining room & master bedroom. Colin McCarthy's plastering was truly excellent!! He even did venetian plastering on my dining room ceiling. My husband & I were SO impressed by his work/work ethic. He was prompt, highly efficient & left the house clean every day. We enthusiastically recommend McCarthy plastering for ANY home remodeling!"

"Bertie was a true professional ! I Needed to re plaster bathroom walls in order to re paint them. The Previous owners had painted over wall paper. Bertie communicated extremely well through the entire job. He was extremely neat, and took extra steps to ensure the job was done correctly. I would absolutely recommend him.

"Their work was excellent. Only issue we had was the scheduling. I had a ceiling installed in the bathroom. Day one, carpenter did his framing and the 2 workers stated I would be called to set a time. However they were at the door at 8am. They were 45 minutes early the first day (7:15am) and I never even met Marcio for the initial inspection. He came early and my partner let him in. The painters painted the ceiling but went down onto the wall though I told them they didn't need to since it was not in the contract. They apologized and painted all the bathroom walls in return. I like these guys. They are fast, responded right away and did great work. They just need to communicate between themselves and Marcio a little better. Schedule issues were minor for me- I'm retired. If you need good work done quickly--I highly recommend them. The price was very reasonable, response time was fast , they cleaned up nicely and everything finished in 3 days: frame, drywall/plaster and paint. I would hire them again."

"Bob did an exceptional job with plastering and smoothing over popcorn ceiling. There was added difficulty to the job due to harsh weather conditions which added more moisture and other variables, but Bob took care to provide clear and concise directions for me and for me to provide to other contractors. I would certainly recommend"

"I have done a lot of research into soundproofing and had a quite a few contractors stop by for an evaluation and a quote over the past couple years, and Robert stood out with his friendly demeanor, level of knowledge, and being easy to talk to; he seemed to have good experience in soundproofing and actually knew soundproofing concepts I'd read up on earlier (surprisingly many other drywall contractors were either evasive in rating their confidence in their proposed projects or simply did not have good plans or knowledge of options). He worked with me on a plan to redo a wall separating my bedroom from noisy neighbors, and the result is excellent! Robert and his team have turned a single stud wall into a decoupled double stud wall, with all the right elements for soundproofing, such as quality insulation, acoustic caulk and dampening compound (both by Green Glue), socket putty, etc. Robert's choice of materials was well informed, and the quality of his work was very good, neat, and precise. I could tell he enjoys doing his work well. He cleaned up after the job was done, and the new wall was perfectly plastered--all I had left to do was to paint (which I enjoy doing myself). The total expense was very reasonable for the cost of materials and labor. I also appreciated that Robert always kept me up-to-date on his schedule and coordinated his visits--great communication. Overall, I am extremely pleased with the experience and glad that I found Robert and his team! I can heartily recommend his services for your drywall and related projects! I'd like to also note for general reference that soundproofing is a global project: learn the weak areas where the sound travels--it's frequently not just your walls, but also through your floors and through your ceilings, including from neighbors on the same floor as you! You may think that just fixing one area will solve everything, but sound wave propagation needs to be considered from all directions/sources, and week areas need to be identified: e.g. you may need to redo your wall and your floor, for example, or your wall and your ceiling, or all 3 at once, depending on your exact needs and situation."

"The MJM Crew led by Matt did an excellent job. I could not be more satisfied with the finished work. They were on time and cleaned up after themselves. The pricing was reasonable as well. I would hire them again for any projects involving plaster."

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.
