Customers say: True professional

"Andy's crew is very professional and did a great job. My home was difficult to get drywall into. They carried each sheet upstairs. Walls finished very well. Dedicated spray equipment created smooth application of knock down texture. Ceilings Looks great. No damage. No surprises. Priced right, but they weren't the cheapest option. On time. No excuses. They protected my property and cleaned up after themselves. As a property manager, I will definitely use Scott's again."

"Des Moines Area Roofing was professional, trustworthy, and demonstrated excellent attention to detail from initial contact to job completion. Cleanup was so thorough that the next day you wouldn't even know that such a major project had taken place. It has been 2 weeks since the new roofs and we haven't seen even one stray nail left behind (and they did a complete tear down to both buildings, right down to the wood). An excellent company with which to do business. I offer my highest possible recommendation."

"According to the website, the person we met with is a "Foundation Expert."  Per his advice, we needed about $8000 in beams because the cement blocks showed bowing/cracking.  This house is only 650 sq feet and built in the 1950s.  He basically implied that the walls had extensive damage and the house would never sell unless we put beams up.  He deemed the repairs done by a previous homeowner as very bad and said they needed to be fixed immediately.  The waterproofing system was an additional $3500.
The whole thing seemed more like a sales pitch using the fear factor of a bad foundation.  And, I was put off by the "buy now" price difference.  They would give me a "realtor discount" if I agreed to do the work and pay the deposit right away.  Like I'd ever spend $12K without getting other bids and researching the heck out of it.
We decided to hire a structural engineer that wasn't trying to sell us something to inspect the basement and foundation.  Paying the engineer a couple hundred bucks was worth every penny.  After a full inspection, his professional opinion was that there were no structural issues.  The engineer report states that while the repairs made by the previous homeowner made were "unsightly" they are effective.  Meaning - the method they used was ugly, but the support it provided was effective and adding additional beams was unnecessary. 
I would highly, highly recommend getting a structural engineer before hiring any company to basement repairs.  It saved us about $8000.

"Unsure of what to do and where to turn or whether we should even continue our home addition after our initial experience we turned to Angie's List.



How do we thank a company for restoring our faith in ?the business?? We had been through a lot the year before and after our story came to light we heard several other horror stories that were just as bad or in some cases worse. We knew we wanted our large home addition completed and, we were skeptical that it would actually happen much less find a company that was trustworthy AND affordable. Choosing DeWit Construction and Roofing was hands down the single best decision we made! It was such a pleasure working with DeWit Construction Company. In today?s business climate customer service does not seem to make the radar. Focus tends to reside more on the bottom line. Companies like DeWit Construction and Roofing truly value and like their work and let it show by respecting their clients and using common courtesy for the job in ALL the details associated such as deadlines, budgets, opinions all the way through to hiring quality employees. An upstanding, quality business shines through in every area. Companies who respect their clients should not only be recognized but, commended in every way! We enthusiastically recommend DeWit Construction and Roofing to anyone planning a home construction project and for any future projects, we would not consider working with anyone else!  Many thanks to Neil, as well as the rest of the DeWit crew for helping us with our addition. The icing on the cake is that we know professionals who are likable, skilled and trustworthy in their profession."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Certain drywall textures, like sand and sometimes popcorn, can be smoothed by applying skim coats, sanding the walls, or chipping away the texture. However, it’s worth considering removing the texture and starting with a blank canvas. Smoothing textured walls requires a lot of sandpaper and elbow grease and can take longer than just outright removing the texture.

Options include bricks, natural stone, and concrete blocks. Choose based on durability, aesthetics, and budget.

All plaster walls will crack over time due to normal house settling and expansion and contraction from temperature and moisture changes. Small, thin hairline cracks are generally not serious and are mostly a cosmetic issue. However, larger or more significant cracks can indicate structural problems.

Here's how to tell the difference:

  • Cosmetic Cracks: Cracks that are 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) or thinner are typically cosmetic.

  • Structural Cracks: Cracks wider than 0.5 cm, excessive or deep cracks, multiple cracks in the same area, or cracks that span around corners can signify a structural or foundation issue. Cracks along the joints where walls meet the ceiling also warrant attention.

For cracks wider than 0.5 cm, structural repair is needed. If a crack is 2.5 cm (1 inch) or wider, or if you notice any signs of a structural problem, it is best to contact a plaster repair professional to assess the damage.

Eco-friendly options reduce environmental impact and often improve indoor air quality.

Plaster provides a durable, soundproof, and moisture-resistant finish compared to drywall.
