"Josh was friendly and responsive on the job. His drywall work was very good and he took the time to listen. Initially, when he repaired my bathroom wall, he missed a bubble, but when it was brought to his attention, he immediately corrected it and said his repair would last. He did seem rushed at times and his cleanup was not as good as it should have been and that's why I can't rate him 5 stars."

"River City Handyman Service remodeled two bathrooms from outdated and drab to bathrooms that could easily be in House Beautiful Magazine or seen on HGTV. He replaced the countertops in my kitchen and built a gorgeous wooden bar top to replace the ugly grey Formica counter that separates the kitchen from the living room. He built a pergola in my backyard; All the projects were done to my complete satisfaction within the time frame promised, and without cutting corners. He is pleasant and friendly, yet professional to the last nail he pounds in. I would highly recommend River City Handyman to anyone looking for quality work that is reasonably priced."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Plaster can be a difficult DIY to master, especially if you plan to plaster an entire room, rather than patch a small area. Before you begin a plaster DIY project, you need to know which tools and type of plaster to use. It's also important to know how to prepare the surface and apply the plaster for a smooth finish. If that all sounds like a lot of work, you may prefer hiring a local plaster repair contractor to do the job.

You should stagger drywall sheets to help prevent cracking. The joints between drywall sheets are the weak spots, so if you install drywall with seams aligned, you’ll create weak lines that run across the length of the wall and extend from floor to ceiling. But when you stagger drywall, the solid sections of panels will support the joints. This can prevent seams from cracking or separating due to fluctuating temperature and humidity, vibrations from movement inside the home, and gravity.

A nail in drywall cannot hold very much—usually only a few pounds. A nail in a stud can add support and hold around 20 pounds. If you are trying to hang something heavier, get some help from drywall anchors—toggle bolts are very strong and able to withstand more weight.

Drying alone can take 1 to 4 hours to dry to the touch per plaster layer, but some types of plaster take several hours longer to dry. However, this doesn’t mean the job is done because plaster doesn’t fully harden until it cures, which can take a few days to a couple of weeks. It may take even longer if you’re building a new, pretty thick plaster wall. Allow the plaster to cure before painting it.

Drywall anchors won’t work on plaster. Instead, they will more than likely cause more damage and pull out the plaster. The best type of anchors to use on plaster walls are the ones that will bite into the surrounding area, such as molly bolts and toggle bolts. Masonry anchors with expanders on the sides also work for lighter pictures.
