"they were very professional and courteous. after they were done, you could not tell they had done the insulation because they were very thorough cleaning up afterwards."
"The team at Hometown Restoration did an excellent job of identifying the location of the moisture, determining how much needed to be removed to prevent any mold from growing, and applying dryers to get the frame to be dry again. They then put in new drywall, flooring, paint, etc. to get my home good as new."
"We have a 1970's and we decided to have an energy audit by Landmark Construction. It was clear that our house have some energy issues and was in need of a any type of energy overhaul. The report that was prepared for us by Charlie and his office staff, was comprehensive, clear to understand and revealed that the ducts at the attic was not sized appropriately. In addition to that, the furnace/AC in the smaller unit was old (and original) and had to be replaced. The recommendations that Charlie told us, included a new furnace/AC, new tankless water system, hot water pipe insulation, building sealing, the insulation and new ducting throughout the house. This was the best investment we ever made. I could not believe the difference in our utilities bill. Charlie and his team were great, professional and experienced. I wish we did these 15 years ago!!

" Mr. Joshua Brown is truly a professional handyman and an individual with strong character. He skillfully and quickly hung all my paintings and mirrors the following day and had finished with the first coat of paint in the master bedroom when he decided to take a look at my brand new dryer that wasn't working. I had a feeling that the person that had installed it for me had not done it properly. Mr. Brown, tried several different scenarios that all led to the fact that the dryer was working properly--it was heating up the clothes but they were still wet. Mr. Brown had the thought to go outside to the vent to feel the stream of air that the dryer should have been pushing out. That's when Mr. Brown realized that no air was being pushed out by the dryer--he realized that there had to be something blocking the air flow to the outside which was why the clothes were heating up but the humidity had no where to go so the clothes stayed damp. Mr Brown cleverly took a coat hanger and straightened it out and pushed it as far as he could down the tube that leads from the dryer to the wall, through the garage and to the outside--and pulled out a watermelon sized ball of NASTY lint, hair, dust, etc that had been stuck there for at least 10 years! Like I said, I have just moved in to this place and was horrified by what he discovered and then relieved when he told me that if he had not detected this, not only would the dryer continue to not work but it was just a matter of time before I had a house fire. The tightly packed pile of lint, dust, etc is HIGHLY FLAMMABLE and I believe that Mr. Joshua Brown saved my life that day. What I would like to say about Mr. Brown is that he doesn't give up when his first attempt at fixing something doesn't work. He is tenacious and diligent and takes pride in his work. His skills cross many disciplines from painting to appliances to construction. One additional skill that he possesses which is hard to find, is that he is a visualizer. I have several ideas for future projects and he was able to visualize my project and make recommendations and suggestions based on what I described. I liked that I could kind of give him the overarching idea of what I wanted to do and he could tell me the exact steps to take to get me there. I enjoyed his happy disposition and was very comfortable continuing on with my daily routines at the house while he was there. I highly recommend Mr. Joshua Brown and will be using his services again myself very soon. "

"I had seen the advertisement for All Pest Pros in several Angie's List brochure. The pictures were disgusting and I had a horrible feeling that they could have been taken in my attic. I put it off for over a year, but kept hearing noises in my attic and actually heard the sound of feet in a bedroom wall. The noises of activity of some kind always were present when I went to bed each night. I hired another company to check the attic and close some of the blatantly open holes that we thought would eliminate the problem. They put traps in the garage, but I continued to hear suspicious noises at night. Another advertising brochure came in the mail a couple weeks ago with the same advertisement that runs in Angie's List brochure. I surrendered and gave All Pest Pros a call. We scheduled an appointment and today Anthony Gordon came out. He inspected from top to bottom and took lots of pictures. He said he could smell urine when he came to the front door (just what a homeowner longs to hear). After the inspection, he gave me a bid to replace all the old insulation, clear out trash left by previous workmen and cover all the holes that allow rodents access. I wasn't looking to spend money on that, but I could deny the problem no longer. We set up a date for all the work to be completed on September 25. I must compliment Anthony. I so respect someone who is an expert in his field and I believe that he is. He was thorough and explained everything he was doing, why and what he found. He was considerate of my home, wore gloves, took off his shoes. He couldn't have been more professional. Besides being professional, he is very kind. I am grateful the company sent him as my inspector. I will follow up after the work is completed, but I wanted to give my impressions after this first visit. I have used one other company to try to eliminate the infestation, but it wasn't successful. I am feeling very positive based on my experience with All Pest Pros and Anthony. "

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.
If you're comfortable hanging drywall yourself, you may be comfortable finishing it. But it's worth noting that finishing drywall adds several steps to the process and a lot of waiting time. Hiring a drywall installer may be the way to go if you'd rather spend your time doing other things or are nervous about leaving a rough surface.
You should always hang drywall from the top down. Starting at the top makes it easier to create a straight, tight line between the ceiling and the wall. Any gaps that occur will be at the bottom, where they are easier to manage. You can either cut the bottom piece of drywall to fit the remaining space or cover the gap with baseboard trim. Additionally, starting at the top is physically easier, as you won't have to fit the top sheet into a tight space between the lower sheet and the ceiling, or try to balance the upper sheets on the lower ones while securing them.
There shouldn’t be any gaps between your walls and ceiling. These can be fixed with joint compound but that is only a fix, and it’s much better if your drywall fits correctly in the first place. Sometimes gaps can appear if your foundation shifts significantly but if this is the case, you have a much bigger problem than patching drywall.
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.
