"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!

Drywall questions, answered by experts

You can repair plaster ceilings yourself after the cause of the ceiling damage has been addressed. However, the repair can easily take 5 hours and can be slightly challenging for those without previous experience. If you do decide to flex your DIY muscle, have a helper to help hold the ladder and pass you the tools for safety purposes.

The person’s skill will affect how many drywall sheets they can hang in one day. Some people can hang 10 or more sheets in a day, while others may only hang six or seven sheets. It also depends on the framing complexity since custom cutting and fitting the drywall can prolong the process.

How you hang the drywall can affect the finishing process. It's often easier to finish horizontal drywall panels, as the seams run across the wall rather than up and down. Standard drywall panels are 48 inches wide, so the seam is easy to reach without bending down or stretching your arms.

When you are learning how to tape and mud drywall, waiting for things to dry requires a lot of patience. So how long does drywall mud take to dry? On average, it takes about 24 hours. However, it depends on things like the thickness of the mud, as well as the room’s temperature, humidity, and ventilation. Using thin layers of mud in a warm, low-humidity room with good airflow reduces average drying time. You also could speed up drying time by making use of hot drywall mud, which consists of a powder that you mix with water, instead of using pre-mixed mud. 

Both plaster and drywall are durable wall finishes, but they differ significantly in installation, cost, performance, and aesthetics.

Installation & Cost: Drywall installation is faster and more affordable, typically costing $1.50 to $3 per square foot. It uses premade sheets, making it a more accessible DIY project. Plastering is a labor-intensive craft that requires specialized skills, pushing costs to $2 to $10 per square foot. It involves applying a wet paste over a lath framework.

Durability & Performance: Plaster is generally more durable, longer-lasting, and provides superior soundproofing. It is also a better insulator, which can help reduce energy costs. Drywall is easier to remove for future renovations.

Aesthetics: Drywall provides a smooth, uniform surface ready for paint or texture. Plaster offers a high-end, naturally textured look that can hide imperfections and is often preferred for achieving a classic or historic aesthetic.

Which is better? The choice depends on your priorities. Drywall is ideal for those prioritizing a lower upfront cost, faster installation, and DIY potential. Plaster is the better option for a higher-end project where durability, soundproofing, and a unique, premium finish are more important than the initial cost.
