"It was very pleasant to work with O'Briens drywall. What impressed me was the fact that there was excellent communication at any time during the work process and that they do not overbook beyond capacity, specially being still in the hurricane Ian aftermath. I had my entire garage ceiling replaced as well as drywall and ceiling replacement in the sunroom. I hired them on Friday and the next week by Thursday the work had been finished. O'Briens drywall takes only a limited amount of customers per week to ensure that there is no week-long or even months-long waiting period for the customer. Great job, thank you O'Briens Drywall."
"The whole process was very smooth considering how many unexpected situations popped up. When I tore up the old tiles i damaged the underlying concrete so badly that Euro Painting had to put down a self leveling cement to make the process possible. I was offered the choice of doing this myself or having them do it and I chose to have Euro Painting do this. It turned out excellent. The floor Turned out extremely nicely, it looks like a piece of art that you would find in a museum. They also resurfaced our table and that turned out extremely well."
"I’ve been working with Alex for over 20 years. Have no regrets. He’s the best Drywall guy I’ve ever known. Believe me when I tell you.I used to run a drywall company . I’m a general contractor now I’ve been building houses for the last three years and I don’t give my work to anyone else. If you’re not hiring Alex, you’re making a mistake."
"Rudolpho did a great job for us. He installed closet organizers, a door, some lights, and drywall work. We highly recommend his services. We will be using him for other projects."
"Yari and Alturo went out of their way to squeeze me into their busy schedule. I needed to prepare my house to be sold. They brought in extra help to complete the job so the photographers could meet their time line. Alturo recommended I hold off on painting the entire exterior suggesting instead that painting the gutters and facia would make the existing paint color pop. He was correct and saved me a lot of money. I recommend them without any reservations."
"Jacob was exceptionally responsive and communicative and did fantastic work. We had a short timeline to get the drywall repair done, and he worked within our schedule. Because he is local, he came 3 separate times to mud the wall and sand it until it was right. He was always on time and very dependable. The repair job looks great. I will definitely use him for future work and based on his photos on social media, I will ask him to bid on any remodels we might do in our new home."
"I hired Stateline to perform repairs in my church building that was damaged by a flood. The workers attention to detail and promptness in starting and completing the job was greatly appreciated. Our congregation will be pleased as I was when they see the results."
"The Pro Juan was knowledgeable and was able to perfectly replace both door frames. The communication was great and my tenants are finally happy with the door."
"Recommended by a friend. Just moved here from Washington and decided that some rooms could use some new paint. Casey helped me out with extreme professionalism and really nailed the color selection that we were looking for. The painting process was incredibly seamless and painless, the rooms look great. If anyone asks me for interior painters I’m definitely sending them to HR Drywall and painting. Thanks again Casey and the crew ~Jeb"
Water-damaged drywall should almost always be replaced. Not only does it look bad, it’s a breeding ground for toxic mold. Even if you think the area is dry and there’s no active leak, the only way to be sure is to cut out the damaged area and see for yourself.
To properly clean and maintain your skip trowel drywall texture, dust the surface weekly with an electrostatic duster or vacuum with a soft brush attachment. Never scrub the surface. You can remove stains by gently applying a mild detergent solution with a paint roller, removing it with a damp roller, and drying with a dry roller. To cut down on cleaning frequency, avoid indoor smoking and limit the use of fireplaces.
Look for flaking paint or air bubbles that burst and then flake away. Paint will begin to flake after being exposed to minimal moisture or water, so it’s a good indicator of any water damage. If you notice your paint starting to flake, feel the plaster underneath to see if it is soft or damp.
Applying spackle is a simple DIY project that most people can complete in just a few hours. Even homeowners who have little DIY experience can complete this project in an afternoon. However, if you're uncomfortable with the project or don't have the time, you can always hire a pro to help.
In some minor cases, you can DIY drywall repair with minimal time and money spent. This method is best when you have a hole made by a singular problem, such as accidental furniture moving, and not a continuous problem, like a rodent infestation.
Knowing what product to use is crucial. For example, small holes only need spackle, whereas large holes might need a new piece of drywall. You can flex your DIY abilities on this project, but if you’d like a second opinion or have a more significant problem, it’s best to call in a drywall repair pro.
