"I hired Mike Storey based upon friends recommendation. He was awesome to work with. I had a long list of work that needed done - kitchen cabinet, finishing work for wainscoting and trim, matching up what was already started by my late husband, deck railing and trim, front railing, installing a new door. All work was done exceeding my expectations. I knew it would be hard to find someone willing to come in and pick up where my husband left off but Storey Home Improvement did the work professionally, reasonably priced and quick. I also appreciated Mike giving me suggestions for some of the finishing touches that made my kitchen and railing look even better than I expected. I plan to hire him again as I have remodeling plans in the future and would recommend him to friends and family."

"We have a 42 year home that needed pressed wood siding replacement, painting and deck refurbishing. Martinez Construction did an outstanding job in all facets of our project. The price was very reasonable and they took great pride in their work. If we ever need any further work on our home, we will certainly call Damian Martinez."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Plaster is denser, harder, and more porous than drywall, so it absorbs moisture differently. This means you’ll often need more prep work, such as thorough sanding, patching, and priming with a high-quality bonding primer. Additionally, you may need more coats of paint to achieve even coverage. While the process takes more time, it helps ensure a durable and professional-looking result.

Ceiling-mounted curtains won’t damage the ceiling if they’re installed properly. Using the right anchors or securing the brackets into joists will ensure the curtain weight is properly supported and prevent damage. However, overtightening screws, using weak anchors, or repeatedly removing and reinstalling hardware in the same spot can cause cracking or sagging over time. In that case, you might have to call a pro for ceiling repair.

A common cause of separation between a wall and the ceiling is truss lift—this can happen to the ceiling of rooms directly under the attic when the seasons change and wood building materials dry out, shrink, and shift. Roof trusses often dry out at different speeds, and if the bottom pieces dry out faster than the top pieces, they can shrink and pull the attached drywall away from ceilings and walls, causing cracks. Fortunately, truss lift is only a cosmetic problem, not a structural problem, and you can fix it by separating the ceiling drywall from the roof trusses, and patching the cracks.

There are a handful of reasons why your drywall anchors are breaking. Using the wrong type of anchor is the most common problem, so always make sure you’re using the best option for a particular project. That there are electrical wires or plumbing where you’ve placed an anchor or that your drywall is weak are two other possible causes. 

The tool you use to sand plaster will depend on the size of the project. If you’re just working on a small section of your wall to get rid of an uneven spot on the surface, hand-sanding might work. However, for larger projects, a drywall sander can make a huge difference when it comes to both time and elbow grease—and an orbital sander can help for detailed areas such as around ceiling fans.
