"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

Whether you apply the drywall mesh before or after drywall mud depends on the type of patch it is. For self-adhesive patches, you’ll put the patch down first and then coat it with mud. Mesh patches that are not self-adhesive will require you to put mud down first and then press the mesh into it, followed by additional coats of mud.

Yes, any parts of drywall that are wet or overly moist will need to be replaced. Drywall is intended to be dry (it’s in the name, after all.), as excess moisture can lead to mold and mildew and eventually corrode your home’s foundational building pieces. Do regular inspections in your home to make sure all your plumbing is intact and in good condition—this will go a long way toward preventing leaks.

Textured walls can increase the value of your home if the style is modern and seen as a desirable feature and not something a prospective buyer would need to remedy. A good example of this is popcorn texture versus Venetian plaster. The plaster wall would add value to your home, whereas the popcorn texture may be something a new buyer would want to remove.

If you already have plaster walls and ceilings, adding new plaster costs $2 to $10 per square foot. For an average-sized room, that would come out to $1,200 to $10,000. However, the cost to replace plaster with drywall is higher—running between $720 and $1,250 for a 10-by-8-foot wall or ceiling (not including drywall finishing).

Whether you need drywall anchors depends on your specific project, particularly where you are hanging an item. Drywall anchors are not necessary if you can drive a screw directly into a wooden stud behind the wall, as the stud provides sufficient support. However, since studs are not present everywhere in a wall, you will need to use drywall anchors if you are hanging an object in a location without a stud. For very lightweight items, picture hanging strips can also be a suitable alternative.
