"This was a second time we hired Hometech and Moses’ team. A couple of years ago we remodeled our home in LAH and had a great experience . After we bough our vacation home in Naples, we were glad to find out that Moses is working in the area, as it is difficult to find trusted builder , especially when you aren’t living in the area and doing this project remotely. Our Naples home, overlooking Aqua Cove is in great location, but design was too traditional and dated .  We did complete gut remodel of 4 bed and 4 bathroom house approximately 4500sf, including changing the facade to give it more modern and CA look :) Definitely one of the kind houses in the neighborhood . As always, we were well informed about the progress, done a couple of sites visits during construction and the team was able to accommodate virtual meetings to fit our busy schedules . We can’t wait to spend this winter in nice warm weather enjoying our new home away from home"

"Robert from V&G Construction transformed my 2B2B condo with exceptional skill and professionalism. Recommended by a friend, he expertly guided me through every step of the remodeling process, from securing permits to selecting materials and paint colors. Despite my initial reservations about remodeling, Robert's straightforward approach made it far more manageable. His practical advice proved invaluable, and he consistently exceeded my expectations with his work. Robert's craftsmanship is truly top-notch, evident in every detail of the finished project. One standout moment was when he and his team efficiently rearranged my pantry and refrigerator to accommodate the dimensions of the new fridge I purchased. Their quick action and attention to detail ensured a seamless transition, and I couldn't be happier with the result. Not only am I thrilled with the outcome of my condo, but several neighbors who witnessed the transformation have also expressed interest in hiring Robert for their own projects. His reputation for excellence precedes him, and I wholeheartedly endorse V&G Construction to anyone in need of remodeling assistance."

General Contractor specializing in remodels and additions. We also do small projects and repairs. We have a crew that can draw on a very broad skill base.

"This is my second time working with Mike after a previous bathroom/laundry room renovation in our old house. During the pandemic we decided to buy a larger home in Alameda in our desired neighborhood. What we initially thought would be a substantial renovation of a 1915 “fixer upper” home ended up being a complete gut. I interviewed a number of contractors that either refused to bid, gave us disingenuously high bids, or were booked out for the year. I'd kept in touch with Mike and asked if he would bid. Although a complete home renovation is larger than his usual projects of kitchens/bathroom remodels he agreed and I’m so thankful he was willing to take on our project. Prior to the interior renovation starting he was able to provide us with excellent recommendations for foundation and roofing contractors. Once the interior renovation began, he created a detailed schedule for keeping the work on track. He seamlessly scheduled specialized vendors (painting, stucco, heating system, etc) to work in tandem with his team. He spent time getting multiple bids for many aspects of the project to make sure they were within budget. He could have shrugged and said “it costs what is costs” but exercised due diligence to make sure we were getting a good value. Much of the detail work he oversaw and did himself and as others have noted he is onsite every day. He is excellent at troubleshooting and has a great aesthetic sense and an eye for detail. If something didn’t look right or he wasn’t happy with how a vendor had done something, he would redo it himself. Mike stands behind his work and I know I can still reach out to him if something goes wrong or to get his opinion. After living in the house for awhile, it's normal to notice things that can use some tweaking. Mike has come back to make those little adjustments that make a big difference, and is always generous with his time. I cannot recommend him enough and would absolutely hire him again in the future."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

No, rough-in plumbing is one of the last steps before your drywall goes up. This is because essential things like pipe installation require space before other elements go up. After the rough-in plumbing is complete, your inspector will also come to conduct an examination and tell you if your plumbing is approved and satisfies your building permit.

While you can put new drywall over old drywall, it’s not always the best option. In some cases, drywalling over drywall can make it harder to find wires and pipes behind your walls and conceal more serious problems with your walls. It can also make the room smaller. On the plus side, putting drywall over drywall can improve soundproofing and insulation. Plus, it’s often less expensive than tearing down and adding new drywall.

You should do a little bit of sanding between adding coats of mud. Knock down any ridges or significantly imperfect areas through sanding, which should help you apply the next coat of mud smoothly. If your first coat of mud is pretty smooth after it dries, a quick sanding is all you’ll need. Don’t forget to wipe away any dust after each sanding process.

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. 

You should start looking for a drywall installer by choosing a local company with positive online reviews and ratings with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Next, confirm that the professional is properly licensed using Angi’s contractor licensing tool, and ask the installer if they are fully insured. It’s a good idea to ask for recent customer references and call them to get their honest opinion about the contractor and their work. You can also ask the installer if they guarantee their work or provide a workmanship warranty.
