Jorge has done a few things at our place like replacing tub drain pipes (in a very tight spot) that were rusted out and leaking or replacing rusted out toilet flanges. He also helped us re strap noisy hot water pipes to quiet them down a bit. He did a great job every time.

ETC Powerwash did a great job powerwashing the entryway to our house. It is painted cement that had a lot of stains from potted plants which overflowed their drip dishes. Evan and his crew were timely, skilled, and very professional to deal with. Best of all our walkway now looks terrific.

Excellent job. Omar was courteous, considerate and very professional. We were concerned about the plants along the walls but he took extra measures to ensure none of them were damaged. The best decision we have ever made was to go with Green Oak Painting.

Plant Watering questions, answered by experts

Textured walls are a great way to hide imperfections left over by drywall installation, but many homeowners feel like it’s an outdated look, despite there being so many types of drywall texture. And while the textured walls of today are a far cry from the popcorn ceilings and faux stucco of our grandmother’s homes, if you want a more modern look or you want to install wallpaper, it’s time to smooth out your walls.

Choose a drill bit that is the size of the screws of the anchors you will use. You aren’t drilling through metal or concrete—hopefully—so any standard twist, wooden or all-purpose drill bit will work fine. It’s also important to have a screwdriver capable of drilling through the drywall and into the stud. The good news is most available drills, even the older ones, can do this with no issue.

You can technically just paint over hairline cracks in plaster since these cracks are often harmless, but this will mostly be a waste of paint. Paint will only hide the hairline crack for a few months before it shows up again. The best solution is to repair the crack with flexible filler or joint compound before repainting.

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.

Drywall insulation costs around $1,800, on average, but prices can range from $500 to $4,500, depending on a few different factors. The following things are important considerations to make when pricing out your insulation project:

Square footage of insulation
Type of insulation
Climate in your area and the insulation R-value required
Whether or not your walls are already finished
Accessibility of the area
Whether or not you need old insulation removed first
