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

Although they have similar applications, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Their primary differences lie in their composition, consistency, and ideal use cases.

Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it thicker than joint compound. It dries quickly and is easy to sand, which makes it ideal for small wall repair projects like filling nail holes or patching minor damage.

Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum. It is primarily used for large-scale projects, such as taping and finishing the seams on newly installed drywall. It tends to shrink more than spackle and can be more difficult to spread.

While both products can be used to fill small depressions and cracks, spackle cannot replace joint compound for taping and mudding new drywall. Conversely, you can often use joint compound for small patching jobs typically done with spackle.

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.

There are a few ways to figure out if your walls are plaster or drywall, but the pushpin method is probably the easiest option. To try it, choose a part of your wall where you can insert a pushpin or thumbtack without leaving an obvious mark. If it goes in easily, you have drywall. But if the wall is tough to penetrate, that’s plaster.

Costs depend on damage extent of damage, labor, finishing, and whether mold remediation is needed.

Plaster that sags or bulges, shows extensive deep cracks, or is crumbling from water damage or simply time may need replacement. Plaster walls can look a little “worn” for a long time before they need replacing. The only real way to know if it needs a replacement is to hire a professional to assess the condition of the plaster.
