Having worked a lot of subcontractors in the past, I know that promptness is not high on many of there priorities.  Bryson and his crew showed up on time everyday that they said they would be there and went right to work.  The old paint was peeling in many places do to poor workmanship from the previous painters.  His crew easily spent more than a week prepping all the surfaces.  The paint was well done in a professional manner.  On the day of payment, he came by and we inspected all the work to make sure we were satisfied with the job.  We noticed here and there a few small places that had been missed.  He had a worker go get the paint and as we would find places that need fixing, the painter would fix it as we walked around.  The one house is 2 story and the second was much smaller but had more angles and coverings to work around.  We were very happy with the results and would highly recommend this painter for future jobs.

"Chris was on time and prepared. Even when the job took longer than he thought, he honored the estimated price. He cleaned up after himself (swept, hauled away the pieces/leftovers) as best as you can after sanding drywall! His work is good, his price is fair. I will definitely call him again for our next project."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

The age of your home can clue you in to whether you have plaster or drywall ceilings. Homes built after the ‘70s are more likely to have drywall ceilings and walls, while older homes have plaster. You can also do the pushpin test: A pushpin will go into drywall, whereas it’s much harder to push one into a plaster wall. If you’re still unsure, ask a drywall professional to let you know which type of ceilings and walls you have.

Whether Venetian plaster increases your home's value often depends on the buyer's preference. As a purely aesthetic upgrade, it doesn't add structural value in the same way a kitchen or bathroom remodel might. However, its beautiful and attractive appearance can make a home more appealing to potential buyers, possibly leading to more interest, higher offers, and increased competition when you sell.

There are several things you should not do when installing drywall. Common mistakes include: adding too many screws, over-sanding, not adding backing support, and installing drywall unevenly. You also should avoid screwing into the same place twice, installing Sheetrock with tapered edges on the outside, and making too many joints.

Furring strips, thin strips of wood or metal, are not always required for ceiling drywall installation. If the ceiling surface is even and in good condition, drywall can be directly attached to the ceiling joists using screws. However, furring strips become essential when dealing with irregular surfaces or when additional insulation or soundproofing is needed. They create a level substrate for attaching the drywall. Ultimately, the decision to use furring strips depends on the condition of the existing ceiling and the specific requirements of the project.

Very little. One inch of water can stain walls, warp wood, and create a perfect environment for mold growth. One to two inches of water can do significant damage to drywall, insulation, and electrical systems. Anything over that is considered an extensive flood, often resulting in severe structural damage.
