"Juan painted some crown mounding for me, removed popcorn ceilings in a hall, bedroom and family room, replaced drywall and painted walls and ceiling. His pricing is fair and my rooms look beautiful. I give him an A+ rating."

"It is with absolute pleasure that my wife and I have the opportunity to write this review on behalf of Young Remodeling.  As business owners in the service industry (medical), we understand the importance of providing quality service, communicating effectively all while completing an endeavor in the most cost effective, time conserving manner.  On all accounts, every member of the team at Young Remodeling succeeded with a resounding A+++++ rating.
As with most home owners going through the process of a renovation, we performed our due diligence and met with five different companies/contractors over a period of two months.  We entertained and enjoyed hearing the varying sales concepts and design ideas all while trying to adhere to a budget with which we were comfortable.  Paul Young, owner of Young Remodeling, was our fourth contact and, in all reality, was our last.  His approach to the job at hand was both methodical and efficient, yet hands on and personal.  After all, it is his name on the business cards and it clearly showed in the pride he takes in his work....THANK YOU PAUL!!!!
After making our decision, we were assigned a designer (chosen by Paul based on our needs) to begin the process of fabricating the kitchen of our dreams.  Jenny was an absolute delight to work with and simply understood my wife and I from the very first meeting.  We met with her many times over the course of 4-6 weeks as we reviewed the various designs, narrowed down choices, and then finally came up with the final rendition.  She not only created the designs but also helped us choose from the myriad of material available (granite, back splash, tile, color schemes, etc). I would feel remiss if we did not mention that her computer renditions (numerous and accurate) were enjoyable to view and likely a great deal of work....THANK YOU JENNY!!!!
Once the design was complete, the structural engineer approved, and the city gave blessing on the design, we were assigned to Rex, who was the next important stage of the project.  Rex was our project manager who became the "go to" contact throughout the remainder of the renovation journey but was in no way isolated from Paul or Jenny.  Rex, in short, was simply amazing. He kept everyone (from permits, demolition, plumbing, electrical, drywall, ceiling repair, flooring, painting, cabinet install, granite install, appliance install) on a schedule and over the course of our 10-12 week renovation, we never varied from the "master schedule" but by a day or so.  We cannot say anything regarding Rex and his work ethic except for "Stellar Job"....THANK YOU REX!!!!
Behind the scenes of all the work done were the hardworking crews of the individual disciplines.  Each and every one of the crews involved in our renovation not only acted and performed in the most professional manner but are deserving of the same THANKS as the rest.  We would like to acknowledge the Demolition crew, the Framing /Building crew (Jamie, Jeff and Cody), the Drywall/Ceiling crew (Matt and his father), the Plumbing Crew, the Flooring crew (Carlos and his team), the Cabinet Install crew (Charlie and his team), the Granite install team (Evolve), and the Painting crew (Brent and his team)....THANK YOU ALL!!!!
As we have decided to stay in this home for the long term, we look very forward to our next projects in the years to come...basement remodel, master bathroom remodel and outdoor stone patio/sun room addition.  It goes without saying that we look forward to using Young Remodeling for all our future remodeling needs.

"Very well. The team that did the work for us did an outstanding job and kept us in the loop throughout the whole process. They were easy to work with and the professional work was even better than we expected. High quality work for a very reasonable price. They also kept their work area reasonably clean each night they left. We would highly recommend them."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Yes, a fan can help drywall mud dry faster by improving air circulation and reducing humidity in the room. Drywall mud dries through evaporation, so increasing airflow speeds up this process. However, you should position the fan to blow across the room rather than directly on the wet mud. This helps prevent drying too quickly, which can cause cracking. You should also use a dehumidifier if high humidity is an issue.

The best way to make long, straight cuts is to use a utility knife and a T-square to score the sheet, snap along the score, and then finish the cut by cutting through the paper on the opposite side with the utility knife. If you’re making small cuts, curved cuts, or cutouts for electrical boxes or light fixtures, you can use a manual jab saw to keep costs down, but an electric spiral saw or oscillating multi-tool will get the cleanest, fastest cuts possible.

Yes, you can apply new plaster over an existing plaster surface, such as a wall or ceiling, provided the old plaster is in good condition. Before you begin, check the stability of the existing plaster. The surface must be clean, free of loose material, and have no peeling paint. It is also recommended to roughen the surface slightly to promote adhesion. For older plaster, applying a base coat like a PVA emulsion or a specific bonding agent or primer is crucial. This step makes the existing plaster less porous and ensures the new and old layers adhere properly for a smooth, long-lasting finish.

All plaster walls will crack over time due to normal house settling and expansion and contraction from temperature and moisture changes. Small, thin hairline cracks are generally not serious and are mostly a cosmetic issue. However, larger or more significant cracks can indicate structural problems.

Here's how to tell the difference:

  • Cosmetic Cracks: Cracks that are 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) or thinner are typically cosmetic.

  • Structural Cracks: Cracks wider than 0.5 cm, excessive or deep cracks, multiple cracks in the same area, or cracks that span around corners can signify a structural or foundation issue. Cracks along the joints where walls meet the ceiling also warrant attention.

For cracks wider than 0.5 cm, structural repair is needed. If a crack is 2.5 cm (1 inch) or wider, or if you notice any signs of a structural problem, it is best to contact a plaster repair professional to assess the damage.

Yes, you can speed up the time it takes for plaster to dry, but it's important to do so carefully to avoid issues like cracking or crumbling. Proper ventilation is key; open a window or use a fan to circulate air in the room. Heat can also accelerate drying, but be cautious, as too much heat can cause the plaster to dry too quickly and crack. Check the plaster's packaging for the recommended drying temperature and set the room's thermostat accordingly. While managing humidity is important, avoid using a dehumidifier, which can remove moisture too aggressively and result in crumbly plaster.
