Artistry Plaster and Drywall Inc.

05/23/2026

Artistry Plaster and Drywall Inc. is looking for a casual part-time drywall/plaster helper to assist with drywall and specialty residential historic restoration and finishing work in the Saint John region.

We are building a healthier culture in the trades.

That is not a slogan to us. It affects how we teach, communicate, schedule work, and treat people on-site.

We are not a production drywall company focused on rushing jobs at all costs. We specialize in high-quality drywall finishing, plaster conservation and restoration in historic homes, crack repair, and detail-oriented custom work where trade skill and attention to detail matter.

Part of our goal is to help preserve and pass on traditional trade skills, careful finishing practices, and to promote higher standards in residential finishing work in Saint John — work where surfaces are properly prepared, repairs blend in, details matter, and the finished result reflects genuine care and skill.

We believe skilled trades should still involve problem-solving, precision, and care — not simply getting in and out of a job as quickly as possible.

We are a women-owned and operated company, and we intentionally maintain a respectful, supportive work environment where questions are encouraged, and people are properly trained. We do not tolerate screaming, humiliation, harassment, or the “learn by abuse” culture that is prevalent in the industry.

We believe good work comes from skill development, communication, patience, accountability, and taking pride in the finished product — not fear, ego, or treating workers as disposable.

The position is currently casual/part-time, but the workload continues to grow, and there is a genuine opportunity for advancement and increased responsibility for the right person.

An experienced drywall finisher or installer seeking a stronger long-term opportunity would be an ideal fit — especially someone who feels capped in a “second position” with little room for advancement at their current company. However, we are also open to training someone highly motivated, dependable, and genuinely committed to learning the trade properly.

Depending on experience, work may include:

• Hanging drywall
• Site prep and dust protection
• Material handling
• Sanding and cleanup
• Assisting with drywall finishing
• Assisting with plaster conservation/restoration work
• Ladder and scaffold work
• Long periods of overhead work

Ideal candidate:

• Reliable transportation
• Physically capable of construction work
• Comfortable learning new skills
• Ability to work overtime as required
• Able to perform repetitive tasks efficiently while maintaining attention to detail and quality
• Able to work at a steady pace without sacrificing quality
• Takes pride in quality work
• Respectful and professional with clients and coworkers
• Drywall or construction experience is a strong asset, but not required for the right candidate

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and are committed to maintaining an inclusive and respectful workplace. Members from the LGBTQ2IA+ community and other underrepresented groups in the trades are strongly encouraged to apply.

To apply, send a brief message about yourself, any relevant experience, and your general availability to [email protected]

We are currently undoing a 'crackfiller's' poor work. Here is a post that details why you need a drywall specialist and not someone who thinks they can install drywall because someone on YouTube made it look easy.

How to Choose a Drywall Contractor: A Comprehensive Guide

Drywall installation is a critical component of home renovations, requiring precision and expertise. Choosing the right drywall contractor can make all the difference in the final outcome of your project.

While hiring a handyperson or a jack-of-all-trades for this job may be tempting, opting for a drywall specialist is often the wiser and more cost-effective choice in the long run.

Why Choose a Drywall Specialist?
Expertise and Experience: A drywall contractor specializes in installing, repairing, and finishing drywall. Their experience allows them to handle various types of drywall projects, from residential to commercial, with a keen eye for detail and quality. Unlike a handyperson who might dabble in multiple trades, a drywall specialist focuses solely on this craft.

Quality of Work:
The quality of drywall installation can significantly impact the aesthetics and durability of your walls. A skilled drywall contractor understands the nuances of taping, mudding, and sanding to achieve a flawless finish. Their expertise ensures that the job is done right the first time, minimizing the need for repairs or touch-ups later.

Proper Tools and Techniques:
Drywall installation requires specific tools and techniques that a general handyperson might not possess. A drywall specialist comes equipped with professional-grade tools and the knowledge isto use them effectively, ensuring a smooth and efficient installation process.

Not All Drywall Pros Are Created Equally:
Many people who learn drywalling techniques learn using automatic taping tools in high-production environments. While these are excellent and productive tools when the framing is done well, they are not very good when it is less than ideal. This is when you need folks who are experienced with a trowel. Artisans can “read the wall” and make sure the compound is applied where the hollows are to ensure a smooth, flat finish.

Reliability and Professionalism:
Every few months, we see the news focusing on unscrupulous contractors victimizing someone who just wanted to get their house built or renovated. Sometimes, the contractor got in over their head and couldn’t finish. Often, they were just poor tradespeople, but many times, they were frauds. Choosing the right professional is key.

We will cover payment structures and contracts in an upcoming post. In short, DO NOT PAY UPFRONT IN FULL and always have a contract detailing the expectations of both parties. While a deposit is required, payment is often made at milestones, with a holdback portion paid upon completion.

Hey, What Could Go Wrong Not Hiring a Specialist?
While it may seem cost-effective to hire a handyperson, the risks can outweigh the benefits. Here are some scenarios that can arise:

Improper Installation:
A handyperson may lack the necessary experience, leading to poor installation. This can result in issues such as cracking, warping, or even failure at the point of attachment that require extensive and expensive repairs.

We recently had to remove the poor finishing and correct the installation of an 1100-square-foot ceiling so it could be correctly secured and finished. You don't want to pay for someone to uninstall and properly reinstall someone else's shoddy craftsmanship.

Inconsistent Finishing:
A jack-of-all-trades may not have the skills to achieve a seamless finish, leaving you with noticeable seams or uneven surfaces that detract from your home’s appearance. This is especially true in renovations where the new and old framing meet up. These points are rarely even. It takes skill to know where the mud or joint compound needs to go to make the transition look like it was never there.

Increased Costs:
Ultimately, hiring a handyperson might save you money upfront, but if the job is poorly done, you could pay more for repairs or reinstallation. We have extensive experience repairing other people's poor work.

We saved most of the wall. Filled the cracks, secured the plaster, and applied a membrane so it wouldn't crack again. Then we skimmed the whole wall so it was flat.
