"They painted my ceiling with the wall paint instead of the white. Some places were missed or not well covered. There was a little debris left from when i removed a wallpaper boarder, and instead of just scraping it off, they painted right over the little chunks. it looks bad. The other professionals that i have hired for flooring, windows, etc have commented on the poor painting job. its not actually a "poor" paint job, but for the price i paid, it really should look better. The guys cleaned their brushes out in my bathroom sink and toilet (what the heck!). It was kind of a mess. I wouldve expected the owner to either be at the job site or at least make a follow-up call. Im sorry that i have to write a poor review; he is a nice guy."

"We are in the midst of a kitchen remodel with a mix of plaster and drywall in the walls and ceiling. Had a hump in the ceiling and quite a few holes to patch. Scott came within an hour, inspected the work needed and gave us an estimate on the spot. Plus, he was back less in than 24 hours and got right to work. He definitely saved the day and earned our respect with his knowledge, customer service and quality work. I d recommend Essence Construction for sure."

"Well, the first time the replacement was ordered it was the wrong one, which of course, delayed the installation a week. When it was finally installed I had to pay an additional $850 for code upgrades. This I was not informed of by Home Shield. Then we noticed that there was water on the garage floor and found that the pipe coming in from the wall was leaking at the wall so had to call the plumbing company back out to fix it. They first tried to say it was not their fault but since there wasn't a leak before they installed they did fix it. I have used Home Shield a few times before and never had a problem. Some of the companies they use are not the best so you have to research them before you commit. I have found HS service to be good if you do your homework. At the end of the day I was without hot water for almost 3 weeks but it was do to the plumbing company they sent out."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

New plaster must be fully dry and cured before painting. The drying time for plaster ranges from 1 to 4 hours, but the curing process can take more than five days, depending on various factors, including humidity levels, temperature, the amount of plaster used, and airflow in the area. You should always apply primer before painting plaster.

You should leave a gap between drywall sheets because they naturally expand and contract along with the building framing as temperature and humidity change. Most pro drywall installers leave a gap of about ⅛ inch between drywall sheets, allowing the sheets to expand, contract, and shift without cracking or becoming damaged. If you don’t leave enough gaps between slabs, the edges will press against each other when they expand, and the pressure can cause visible cracks.

While not always necessary, you can glue a drywall ceiling in addition to using screws or nails. Drywall is typically secured to ceiling joists with fasteners, which is often sufficient. However, adding construction adhesive can offer benefits like preventing sagging, bridging gaps, and reducing air leaks for better energy efficiency. It may also be used for specific acoustic or insulation needs. On the other hand, many professionals advise against it because properly placed screws make the drywall structural, glue doesn't add strength, and it makes future repairs or replacements significantly more difficult. Ultimately, it's best to follow local building codes and project-specific requirements to decide if adhesive is right for your ceiling.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

You should wait at least 24 hours for drywall mud to dry before sanding or applying another coat. However, the exact drying time depends on several factors, including the thickness of the application, room temperature, humidity, and the type of compound used. Thicker layers, or projects in high humidity, may require 48 hours or more. Lightweight compounds tend to dry faster than heavier, all-purpose ones. You'll know the mud is ready when it feels completely dry and firm to the touch and has changed to a consistent light color. Sanding too early can cause smudging or gouges, so patience is essential for a smooth finish.
