I’m a hardworking person who doesn’t like to leave projects half finished or looking sloppy, I can be a bit of a perfectionist. I’ve always fixed and built almost everything I needed myself and I take pride in being self sufficient. I’ve been an electrician for a year and half now and before that I was fabricating aerators for private residences. I have a wife and two children, so I can handle the chaos of a whole house remodel even if you decide to alter any details halfway through.
"Kyle is a professional in all aspects, timely phone calls, getting back to me, and very polite. I reached out to Olmsted Brothers for an insulation quote and he got it back to me right away. I am not ready to proceed right away due to other reasons, but am looking forward to working with Olmsted Brothers in the near future."

"After three years of living in our remodeled home, my sister and I began experiencing water seepage in three different locations in our finished basement. Rather than let the problem get out of hand, we decided to repair it. We contacted three different companies for repair estimates.
Following one outrageous estimate from a big name company and one reasonable estimate from another company, Brian Flanagan of Basement Waterproofing Solutions was the third person to visit our home. We were immediately impressed with his knowledge. He provided us with an honest assessment of what he believed was causing our seepage problem - foundation cracks around our basement windows. To solve our seepage issues, Brian suggested cutting through the drywall in our basement and sealing the cracks in two of the three locations where we had water seepage. He told us that we would be responsible for having the drywall repaired after the work was completed. In the third location, rather than cut through the drywall, Brian believed the crack could be sealed from the exterior of our home. He explained that this solution would be less destructive because the drywall wouldn?t need to be cut open, which would also save us money. My sister and I appreciated Brian?s willingness to suggest the most cost-effective solutions for our home. Unlike the big name company that came to our house, he didn?t try to scare us into paying for expensive solutions that were well beyond the scope of our needs.
Brian quoted us a price of $700 to repair three foundation cracks as well as any additional cracks found during the repair process. He even stated that he would have his crew seal the exterior of our home in several places to prevent water penetration. We were impressed with the fact that he put this all in writing. His price was the lowest estimate we received and even included an Angie?s List coupon that Brian gave us himself. After considering the cost, Brian?s expertise, professionalism, and the hassle-free solution he offered, we decided to give him the job.
Brian?s crew was scheduled to come out the following Saturday, but he called the night before to say that the crew could not come due to one worker having a family emergency. I informed Brian that I was displeased with the last-minute notice. In an effort to apologize for the inconvenience, he stated that he would have his crew come out the following week. He also said that he would have them repair the drywall at no additional cost to us. We thought this was a wonderful deal and demonstrative of Brian?s willingness to go beyond the call of duty to satisfy his customers.
One week later, two workers promptly arrived as scheduled. They went over the work to be done and asked us if we had any questions. We answered no, and they began working. The workers were courteous and professional as well. Before they finished, Brian showed up to inspect the work and make sure we were pleased with everything. We expressed our satisfaction, and the men finished up. They cleaned up after themselves as well. As promised, the workers returned a few days later to repair the drywall. They replaced and sanded it at no cost to us.
We really appreciated the care Brian and his workers took in addressing our seepage issues and making sure that we were pleased with their work. We waited to write a review until we had some rain. We haven?t had any more problems thus far. Only time and heavier rainstorms will let us know if we are in the clear. However, Brian told us to call if we have any more problems. He stands by his work and we have no doubt that he will work hard to resolve any future issues should they arise. We appreciate Brian Flanagan?s honesty, expertise and professionalism. We would highly recommend Basement Waterproofing Solutions to anyone who needs quality work done at a reasonable price.

"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."
" I wasn't sure this would end up to be a good idea but, it turned out a very pleasant experience. They did it all from start to finish. They spent the first day and a half gathering the trash and debris left by the tenants. They must have pulled four trailers worth of mess out to the dump. Then they went through the whole place; removing nails from the walls, doing the patchwork on the plaster and lathe (where we wanted it repaired and pulled out where we wanted drywall replaced), sanding all the spots and removing the mess. Then they started in with the heavy repairs in the putting in a couple of windows and hanging the drywall where needed, they taped off all the walls, fixtures and windows to ready it for paint. After painting and waiting for it to dry; then they started outside clearing out the brush and debris left behind. They also worked to dress up the yard with great ideas like window boxes and fresh flowers! . They did all the paint work inside the house and finished up by touching up the outside paint. They went back through the house last time and shampooed the carpets, cleaned the stove and fridge, and put fresh new chalk in all the needed spots. I know I may not have all the right terminology but, these folks Really saved the day! When they left the place was spotless and the time and money we spent was well worth giving up the headache of that mess to someone else and finding they'd done a great job! Wonderful!"
Beadboard is a decorative element and lacks the structural integrity of drywall. It cannot hold much weight and is not meant to be used as an insulator or moisture barrier, like drywall is. In almost all cases, beadboard is placed over an existing wall surface which, in modern days, is usually drywall, but decades ago could have been wood paneling.
This depends on how much plaster is applied and in how many layers, but a decent estimate is around 150 square feet. If you are applying only two coats on a small wall, there is a chance you may only need one or two gallons for the entire project. If you are plastering a large living room wall with high ceilings, using one of the more involved techniques–like Scagliola–that requires several coats, expect the project materials costs to add up quickly.
Yes, it is possible to rewire a house without removing the drywall, but this doesn’t work in all homes. You can pull out old wires and insert new ones if you have access to the wiring system via the ceiling or through a crawl space. Some pros can also use a magnetic kit to fish the old wire out of the wall through a hole cavity and install the new wires. Just keep in mind that doing this is less stable than removing drywall, as you won’t be able to staple the wires into the framing.
You’ll get better results if you soundproof the whole wall. A hole through which light can pass can also let sound waves in. Acoustical or silicone sealant applied to holes and cracks can block enough sound to make a difference. However, the more layers absorb vibrations and slow or stop sound waves, the less noise you’ll have.
Costs depend on damage size, labor rates, and whether additional services like painting are required.
