"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.

"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."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

The time it takes for thinset to dry is determined by your room’s ambient temperature and humidity levels. Assuming the average humidity level is around 40% with an average temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit, thinset can dry within 48 hours. Lower temperatures and higher humidity can extend the curing process beyond 72 hours, while high heat and zero humidity can shorten the curing process. However, thinset can crack if it dries too fast.

If your home’s foundation shifts slightly over time, any seams in the drywall represent the weakest point in the wall, leading to cracks. If your home has significant changes in temperature and humidity, this can cause the drywall to swell and contract slightly, causing a crack at the weak point of the seam. If your drywall installer did a poor job securing the panels to the wall studs, this could cause a weak layout and cracks in the seams.

Most handy homeowners can tackle removing texture from unpainted walls. Removing texture from painted walls is a bit trickier. Paint acts as a sealant, so you can’t soften the texture with water. Instead, you’ll have to add a layer of drywall compound known as a skim coat. This process is messy and takes some practice.

Plaster is a beautiful finish but is labor-intensive to install and remove. It’s vulnerable to cracking and more sensitive to moisture variance than drywall. Installing plaster on a new wall is an expensive process that can take days to weeks, depending on the scope. Removing a plaster wall can also be quite expensive and time-consuming.

Ceiling-mounted curtains won’t damage the ceiling if they’re installed properly. Using the right anchors or securing the brackets into joists will ensure the curtain weight is properly supported and prevent damage. However, overtightening screws, using weak anchors, or repeatedly removing and reinstalling hardware in the same spot can cause cracking or sagging over time. In that case, you might have to call a pro for ceiling repair.
