"I am very happy with the drywall work that was done in my home. They came in, got the job done in a timely manner, and the quality of work was really good. Everything looks smooth, clean, and professionally done. They paid attention to detail and made sure everything looked right before finishing. What I appreciated most was their professionalism and communication throughout the process. They showed up when they said they would, worked hard, and cleaned up after themselves. It is hard to find good, reliable people these days, but I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing drywall work done. Very satisfied with the outcome!"
"I rate Jason Kilgore and his crew as "excellent". I contacted Jason to get an estimate on installing a new closet system in a closet that has been problematic for the past several years. After much research, I had decided to have avJohn Louis Homes closet organization system installed. Jason arrived as scheduled to provide the estimate. He was punctual, courteous, and professional. We discussed in detail al the work that would need to be done, including drywall repair, painting, and closet system modifications and installation. He was prompt in providing the written estimate, which was very reasonable considering the amount of work to be done. On the day of the scheduled work, Jason and his crew arrived EARLY!!! I couldn't believe it, a contractor who had respect and concern for someone else's time, not just his own! I give him 5 stars just for that! The 3 man crew went to work immediately, wasting no time. They were all friendly, courteous, and professional. Jason was diligent in ensuring that I approved of all modifications to be made to the closet system before cutting the materials. This resulted in a completed project that was perfectly to my liking. Not only were they punctual, efficient, and professional, they were also clean and neat. They removed all trash and garbage from the worksite and cleaned up after themselves. I am extremely pleased with the final product and with the process in getting it done. I woud definitely hire Jason and his crew for future projects around my home.
Yes, if there is mold in your drywall mud and you then use it to build walls in your house—or if mold develops in your set drywall, like it can in hot and humid areas—it can lead to illness. Mold in your drywall (or other parts of your home) can make existing respiratory conditions or allergies worse, and the effect can be more intense for those who have existing health issues or compromised immune systems.
Drywall can be toxic to the environment and to humans in some cases. As drywall breaks down in a landfill and comes in contact with other organic chemicals, it can create hydrogen sulfide gas or leach into the groundwater. Additionally, the CDC recommends methods for controlling the inhalation of drywall dust when handled. While the common ingredients of drywall—gypsum, silica, and mica—are naturally occurring, they can cause irritation in some humans.
Only use spackle on plaster walls when the imperfection is small. It’s best used for nail holes or small dings in the plaster. Spackle dries quickly, allowing you to continue the repair process shortly after using it. Plaster can be tricky to repair, though, so if you run into issues, call a pro so that you don’t risk further damage.
To maintain plaster walls, inspect them regularly for cracks and seal them early. Clean the walls by dusting regularly or using a gentle, damp cloth. It's also important to avoid moisture exposure. Repainting as needed will help maintain the wall's appearance and longevity.
You can paint over plaster, but repair any damage to the plaster first, or the paint will crack and bubble. You should also prepare the surface of the plaster to accept paint, which gives your paint job the best chance of looking good and lasting a long time. Before applying the color you want, apply a coat or two of primer. Additionally, use latex paint, and choose a latex paint with a satin finish for areas with dampness, like bathrooms.
