"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."

Yes, taping inside corners is a critical step in the drywall installation process.  Properly taping inside corners is essential for achieving a professional look, and an installation that resists cracking and maintains its integrity over time. Taping the corners involves the application of a joint compound along the seam where two drywall pieces meet. This process provides reinforcement, conceals the seam, and prevents future gaps or cracks from developing.

Damp plaster does dry out, although the drying time depends on several factors, including the type of plaster, the surrounding temperature, moisture content, and the extent of the dampness. Sometimes, it can take weeks or months for wall plaster to dry naturally.

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.

Regular inspections, repainting, and avoiding moisture exposure help maintain integrity.
