Both drywall and plaster have their place in residential construction. Whether you're restoring a heritage home or building new, understanding the pros and cons of each will help you choose the right fit for your walls and your lifestyle.
Choosing between drywall and plaster depends on your priorities: timeline, finish, budget, or tradition. We can walk you through the trade-offs.
Both materials can shine when used with intention. The right choice depends on your home’s design, age, and goals.
The material you choose has long-term implications. Drywall tends to attract modern buyers looking for low maintenance and future flexibility. Plaster appeals to character home buyers but may carry higher upkeep costs. Know what your market values before committing.
Drywall is the go-to for fast, affordable construction. It delivers smooth, clean surfaces with minimal labor and is easy to patch or modify later. If your focus is modern aesthetics and practicality, drywall is likely the better fit.
Plaster excels in historic homes or luxury builds where detail and substance matter. It’s thicker, more durable, and often hand-applied, which increases both time and cost. For homeowners who value timeless texture and acoustic benefits, plaster may be worth it.
