"Called to have my ceiling patched after remodeling, Josh came and looked at the plaster ceiling and said he can patch in drywall and make it look like it never had been demoed. The crew showed up on the day the day I was told. When the crew was done with the job it was level and looked as if demolition never happened"
"Our house had a water damage that ruined much of the drywall and floor on the first floor and the basement. For such a big repair job, I carefully looked up the reviews and recommendations from Angie's list and talked to 3 contractors that have the highest ratings. AOM was one of the three. David, the owner of AOM, quickly came to our house, assessed the damage, explained to me what need to be done, showed great empathy to our loss and current situation (having to stay in hotel waiting to go back to our house), and put a very competitive bid (about 2/3 the bid of another contractor). We picked them and signed the contract. AOM uses Trello, a cloud-based project tracking system that software companies often use, to effectively and promptly communicate task description and updates to all workers and house owners. AOM workers are professional, hard working, and friendly. For such a big project, expectedly there were some hiccups and AOM had to juggle ours with their other on-going projects. David kindly explained to me various aspects of the repair work and promptly fixed any faults that we identified. I became to completely trust David's professional skill and that he would treat our house like his. Several nights and weekends David came to work late so that we could move back to normal life as soon as possible. In the end, we are very happy with our remodeled house. I sincerely recommend David and AOM for any house remodeling and restoration job."
"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.
You do not need to drywall over most types of garage insulation. However, doing so can increase noise reduction, make the space more attractive, and keep children and pets from touching harmful fiberglass insulation. If you’re using cellulose or some other type of blown-in insulation (fiberglass and mineral wool are common), you will need drywall to contain the insulation material.
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.
In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.
A 50-pound mirror can be hung on drywall, but only if it has the support of strong hardware. Ideally, you can find the studs behind the drywall and attach the mirror to them; this will give your mirror better stability. Otherwise, confirm that you are using anchors appropriate to the weight of the mirrors. Another technique is to use French cleats—two pieces of wood that fit together, with one piece attached to the wall and the other to the mirror. This allows the weight to be distributed over a wider area.
The average cost to apply a skip-trowel drywall texture to walls is $1.25 to $2.00 per square foot. Ceilings cost slightly more because of the increased difficulty of working overhead. Additional cost factors include any drywall repairs and removal of existing textures or wallpaper.
