My other half and I have both been working in construction / home repair for the better part of 10 plus years separately and both decided it was time to work for ourselves. We are capable of fixing and installing potentially all of your wildest dreams. We do anything from interior and exterior painting, repair or install drywall, replace flooring, refinish cabinets or any other furniture you have that needs some updating. We also offer full cleaning services if you’re sick of doing your own chores and want someone else to do them for you. We are the ultimate dynamic duo because we’re extremely efficient, honest, and just downright talented. You won’t be spending insane amounts of money on labor from multiple people who don’t know what they’re doing. You’re paying for the quality of your home, your family’s well being, and we plan on keeping it that way. If you can dream it, we can make it happen. And if we can’t, we’ll help you get in contact with someone who can. We both love what we do, and we can assure you that you’re gonna love it too.

"I hired them to remove the old vanity and install a new one. After they completed the job, I had to hire a plumber to fix it (same day). There was a P-trap installed backwards, a pipe was too long, and there was no gasket on one pipe. owner will not respond. Also, we had a deal that they could take the current knobs in the bathroom off the cabinets if they would replace them. They took the knobs, but did not replace. So essentially, they stole the knobs. The clean up after the job was poor, there was a lack of professionalism, and they did not show up when they said they were going to on multiple occasions. It took six days to get the vanity replaced. Beware."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Most drywall used for interior walls of homes is 1/2-inch thick. This size strikes a balance of being easy to handle and hang while being thick enough for the durability needed on interior wall applications.

Installing drywall will cost between $1.50 and $3 per square foot for materials, labor, and finishing, which is quite a bit lower than the average of $9 to $13 per square foot for a drop-tile ceiling. So, while drop ceilings allow more design flexibility, provide easy access to utility lines above them, and are often much easier and less expensive to repair, they do cost more upfront. You can minimize your drop ceiling cost by opting for more affordable fiberboard panels, although some homeowners don’t like the look of this material.

Drywall anchors aren’t necessary if there’s a stud behind the wall where you’ll be working. Studs are strong enough to support screws on their own, but they don’t run throughout the wall. If you’re doing a project that involves the entire wall and not just one part (like hanging a small painting or photo), odds are you’ll need drywall anchors at some point in the process. 

Many homeowners choose to install tongue and groove over drywall. The great thing about this type of ceiling is that it hides imperfections. If your drywall is a little bit wonky or has some minor damage, the tongue and groove planks should cover it and give it an even appearance. Installation is simplest if you install battens over the existing framing before installing your tongue and groove planks.

Drywall mud should be left to dry for at least 24 hours before sanding, though drying time depends on the thickness of the application, humidity, and room temperature. Thicker layers or projects done in high humidity may require 48 hours or more of drying time. You’ll know the mud is ready when it feels completely dry and appears light in color throughout. Sanding too early can cause smudging or gouges, so patience is key for a smooth, professional-looking finish.
