What if I have plastered ceilings?
Plaster materials were commonly used in homes and pose special difficulty. Unlike drywall, plaster acoustic is hard and not soluble with water. To achieve a new smooth surfaced look, drywall mud material must be added to fill in the un-even surface. This task is tedious and time consuming and the costs vary according to job needs.
