"After a "simple" bathroom repainting turned into a nightmare of peeling paint from permanent wallpaper, with damaged drywall as a result, David provided me with options for repairing the walls with a new, cost-conscious finish and then painted the room for me as well. He was extremely punctual and responsive, professional and anxious to provide excellent customer service. He was accurate in how much time the job would take, and his price guarantee made sure that no hidden costs popped up at the last minute. He did a great job, and saved us A LOT of frustration and stress."

"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.

"I bought an Angie's List Deal for $200 for 8 hours of painting from Pride Decorating.  Joe returned my call promptly and came out that same day to take a look at the space and let me know what would be feasible during the time period that I had paid for.  He called me a couple days later to schedule.  

He arrived right at the arranged time, did all the work that we discussed, cleaned up everything thoroughly.  

He was professional, prompt, and easy to work with.

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Wall anchors are suitable for drywall and plaster walls, which are common in most homes. However, different wall materials may require specialized anchors. For concrete or masonry walls, you'd typically use concrete anchors. When dealing with other wall types, such as brick or tile, specific anchors designed for those materials may be necessary. Always consult with a hardware specialist or check the manufacturer's recommendations to ensure you select the appropriate anchors for your specific wall type.

You should always hang drywall from the top down. Starting at the top makes it easier to create a straight, tight line between the ceiling and the wall. Any gaps that occur will be at the bottom, where they are easier to manage. You can either cut the bottom piece of drywall to fit the remaining space or cover the gap with baseboard trim. Additionally, starting at the top is physically easier, as you won't have to fit the top sheet into a tight space between the lower sheet and the ceiling, or try to balance the upper sheets on the lower ones while securing them.

You can paint over drywall mud about 24 hours after application, but the exact timing depends on factors like humidity, temperature, and the thickness of the mud. For the best results, ensure the mud is completely dry to the touch and has changed from a darker gray to a lighter, chalky white. Don’t forget to sand and prime the drywall surface before you paint to create a smooth, even finish.

If you’re installing new drywall, you may need to skim coat the drywall first for a smooth finish and to allow the primer to adhere to the wall. It’s only necessary if there are imperfections in your drywall due to issues with the studs or improper drywall installation. If you’re refreshing existing walls, you may want to skim coat if there are imperfections across the wall. As an alternative, you can repair your drywall and sand it for a smooth finish before painting.

Fixing ceiling nail pops involves similar steps to wall repair, with the major difference being the orientation of the work. Ceiling nail pops can be more challenging because you may need to work overhead, which can be physically demanding and require additional safety precautions. Additionally, the ceiling may have different materials or finishes, such as textured surfaces, which can affect the repair process. Otherwise, the fundamental steps are the same.
