"My husband and I found out late on Monday (8/31/15) that we unfortunately had an active leak in our roof from our chimney and we immediate attention.
We called two companies (both from Angie's List), including R & A, that Monday evening AFTER 5p. We left a message with the first company (which we never even received a call back through the week!) and were surprised to have Randall and his wife, Aimee, the owners of R & A, answer their phone after 'normal business hours'.
They let us know that they actually specialize in these kinds of leaks/repairs and assured us that following any work from their company, we would not have any further issues. Aside from answering immediately, they were also able to come out FIRST thing the very NEXT morning to give a FREE inspection/estimate - Tuesday (9/1/15).
Randall and Aimee were professional, personable and efficient in their inspection and informative in explaining what was wrong. They gave us two honest estimates - one that would fix the problem and one that would fix it but also add a proactive step. In addition to our specific problem with the chimney, they noted a few other things about the roof and were very helpful in educating me on a few things about roofs and our style of house.
After speaking with them multiple times after our inspection on Tuesday via phone (they answered each phone call promptly!), we booked the job with them and they had one of their employees out to our house to work FIRST thing the NEXT MORNING! 
The gentleman that completed the work for the company, Stacy Pritchard, was nothing short of professional, courteous, clean, efficient and did a great job on our roof. One man finished the job before lunch time!
All in all, I cannot say enough how INCREDIBLE and POSITIVE of an experience it was to work with Randall and Aimee. They are two of the most generous individuals that I have ever met and they worked with my husband and I to ensure that this job was completed quickly and in a way that my husband and I could afford. It is difficult these days to find great customer service and companies that are so prompt and thorough in their work. R & A above and beyond exceeded our expectations! It is immediately evident that they take great pride in what they do.
We have had to do a lot of work on our home since we purchased it two years ago, from chimney to plumbing, drywall repair, appliance install and repair, flooring, electrical, landscaping, decking, painting to air conditioning. In all of that, I feel completely confident that we were most pleased in working with Randall and Aimee.
All 'straight A' reviews cannot be wrong, but they certainly do not do this company justice! They are wonderful to work with and we will use them again in the future as well as recommend them to friends and family.
Just to note again (because it is worth it!) - we called them Monday after normal business hours and the work was completed before lunch time on Wednesday!
Thank you, Randall and Aimee!

We wanted to remodel our newly purchased condo but didn't think we'd be able to afford all the projects we had in mind because of the limitations of our budget. A couple of local contractors in Gulf Shores had estimated a minimum cost of $40,000. We contacted Help-Around-the-House based on favorable Angie's List reviews and found that they more than live up to their great reputation. Dan Parks and his team worked closely with us from start to finish, not only helping us to stay within our budget but also coming up with ideas that were better than what we originally had in mind. All of the work was of high quality, yet it was done amazing fast.  We couldn't be more satisfied with the final result.  We definitely recommend Dan Parks and the Help-Around-the-House team to anyone who wants high quality work done at a fair price.

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Most handy homeowners can tackle removing texture from unpainted walls. Removing texture from painted walls is a bit trickier. Paint acts as a sealant, so you can’t soften the texture with water. Instead, you’ll have to add a layer of drywall compound known as a skim coat. This process is messy and takes some practice.

If you plan on heating your garage, you must install a vapor barrier when drywalling the garage. A vapor barrier protects your garage from frost and mold that can occur through condensation. If your garage is unheated, you don't need to install a vapor barrier. The only exception is if you regularly crank the heat in your car before getting in it. In this case, you may still want to install a vapor barrier, as your car can heat your garage.

The two most common drywall thicknesses for ceilings are 1/2-inch and 5/8-inch. For most standard residential applications, 1/2-inch drywall is sufficient and widely used. It provides adequate support and is lighter and easier to handle during installation compared to thicker sheets. However, 5/8-inch drywall is often used for specific cases where additional benefits are needed. It is heavier but provides superior sound dampening and fire resistance. You should consider using 5/8-inch drywall for ceilings in commercial buildings, between a garage and a living space, or above a finished basement to meet building codes or for enhanced soundproofing.

It’s not a good idea to plaster over broken plaster (unless by broken you’re referring to cracked, in which case that’s perfectly fine). However, broken plaster can be a sign of a larger underlying issue like foundation damage or severe damage to the lath holding up the plaster, so it’s worth investigating before you simply plaster on top of the damage.

If you don’t have studs in the area where you want to install your TV mount, you may still be able to install a TV mount on drywall. The easiest way to install a mount on drywall is by using drywall anchors—but not just any plastic anchors. Choose molly bolts or toggle anchors, which have a weight capacity of around 50 pounds. For added support, consider pairing drywall anchors with a wall mounting plate. Extra heavy TVs may need to be mounted via the ceiling joists or beams.
