"I have a driveway that's approximately 1/10 mile long and a parking area approximately 40' X 80' covered with 3/8" gravel which is very difficult to plow, complicated by the fact that some spots have to be back dragged preparatory to the snow being moved out of the path of traffic. I used to do it myself with an ATV and a 4' blade and it would take me about 2 hours, usually at an inopportune time and in inhospitable weather. When I was done, it looked like the snowy equivalent of a putting green, but at my age, I'm very willing to sacrifice fine detail for having someone else do it while I sit inside doing paid work. Dustin is personable, bright, attentive to detail, highly skilled and has an understanding of finesse. So far, he has only plowed once for me and did a better job than my last three contractors. As far as I'm concerned, he has a job with us for the next twenty years and I'm thinking of hiring him for some drywall work. I set very high standards in my work and expect equivalent quality from people I hire. My expectations have been met and exceeded. A+++++"

"Did an outstanding job scrapping our ceiling to get rid of the popcorn texture. Re-textured it to look more modern. Also removed to pony walls and associated ceiling headers. Couldn't even see where they were after Steve was done. Would hire him for any drywall job in the future!"

"Yuni has a great attitude and is very helpful. He helped us with more than painting. He helped us demo a tub and countertops. He also helped us lay some slate tile. He was on time, his crews worked hard, and he followed through on everything he promised. We recommend Yuni!"

"Wild West Construction did an absolutely fantastic job on my kitchen remodel. They were punctual and diligent throughout the entire process. When there was a delay in materials being shipped, they adjusted and accommodated the delay. Upon request, they went above and beyond the contracted work to meet my needs. Their work was superior and I not only had no complaints at the end of the job, I have already discussed using them for my next home-improvement project. I will not hesitate to use them in the future and strongly recommend them for the quality of their work and their professionalism."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

The person’s skill will affect how many drywall sheets they can hang in one day. Some people can hang 10 or more sheets in a day, while others may only hang six or seven sheets. It also depends on the framing complexity since custom cutting and fitting the drywall can prolong the process.

Yes, it matters which side of drywall you use. One side is smooth, and the other is rough. The smooth side should be facing outward, toward the room, while the rough side should be hidden and facing the studs and framing of the house. The smooth side will be easier to apply tape, joint compound, and, later, paint to.

Whether it’s better to screw or glue drywall depends on your specific budget and project timeline. Professional drywall installers are more likely to use screws and fasteners than adhesives, but it takes longer. But if you are DIYing your drywall installation, glue is a perfectly fine choice if you’re willing to pay extra for adhesive.

There are six levels of drywall finish, from 0 to 5, that refer to the amount of work performed during the finishing process.

Level 0: Drywall is hung with no finishing work.

Level 1: Tape is placed over the seams between drywall sheets.

Level 2: A thin layer of mud is applied over the tape and screw holes. This level is common for utility rooms or walls that will be covered.

Level 3: A full coat of mud covers the screw holes and tape, but the surface is not sanded. This is often used in garages.

Level 4: This is the most common finish for visible interior walls. It involves applying two coats of mud over seams and screw holes, with sanding between each coat, creating a smooth surface ready for flat paint.

Level 5: This is a high-end finish for luxury homes. It includes full taping, mudding, and sanding, plus a final skim coat over the entire surface before painting.

You can paint over plaster, but repair any damage to the plaster first, or the paint will crack and bubble. You should also prepare the surface of the plaster to accept paint, which gives your paint job the best chance of looking good and lasting a long time. Before applying the color you want, apply a coat or two of primer. Additionally, use latex paint, and choose a latex paint with a satin finish for areas with dampness, like bathrooms.
