"We couldn't be happier with the job that Float N Coat did!!  Jason was extremely responsive to both calls and emails about various costs (additional doors, additional coats of paint, if needed, etc.) and more than forthcoming with any issues that may bump up our estimate. But the bottom line was there really was no reason to fear -- our final bill matched the estimate and there were no "hidden" or "additional" costs included when we got it. In addition, the work is absolutely beautiful! We have tons of trim, baseboards and deep set windows, and they did an amazingly accurate job with the white trim on our very dark walls. Their wall prep work (patching, sanding, etc.) was so impeccable you can not tell where the holes had been previously. They were on time, cordial and really knew what they were doing. And lastly, when they were done, the smell of fresh paint was the only thing left behind. This was a pretty big residential job, and they cleaned up so well, it was as if they were never there.
As a client, I felt included in every step of this huge project, and that is a rare feeling when working with service companies. I've recommended Float N Coat to friends already, and highly recommend them here. If you are looking for professional painters who deliver high quality work at an affordable price, you don't need to look any further.  "

"Had to file a claim for new clothes dryer, and repairs on fridge. Foothills Star Appliance came to look at both. Eric was the repairman. He was friendly, answered all my questions, and very professional. I would highly recommend his company."

"Apex Painting & Remodeling was actually brought in as a subcontractor because of my desire for a built-in bookcase that my potential painter could not do.  He gave me his bid, which encompassed the whole job, to paint my den, formal living room and dining room and to build a custom recessed book shelf to match one on the other side of my fireplace.  It was higher by several hundred dollars than the painter who brought him in, but I just felt he would do a better job for me and I was right.  While I knew the first guy was getting half of the pay, he rarely was on the job and when he was, he rarely did any work.  My children called him "the lazy one".   But I was so thankful he brought Apex in to "help" with my house!   I provided the materials and the owner/operator of Apex, Mr. Roberts provided the skill and labor.  I wanted to see the quality of  the work before I hired Apex for my entire project.  I have just purchased an older home that needs updating. The den was dark paneling which either had to be removed and replaced with sheet rock or floated and painted over.  I chose to have the paneling painted over to save on costs.  Mr. Roberts prepped, primed and painted the walls.  I also had him put up a chair rail and he brought and installed baseboards around the entire den, as we noticed there were none in the room. At first I just wanted to paint the room one color, but then changed my mind and added the chair rail and one color on bottom, one on top and of course a trim color.  This did not faze Mr. Roberts at all, he was happy to accommodate me. I also chose a semi-gloss, but after two coats of semi-gloss was applied, I was not thrilled with the look, so he suggested one coat of flat, which is what we did, only he felt it needed two coats of flat for excellent coverage & that is what he did.  No Complaints.  I decided to add crown molding in my formal rooms with the corner blocks, only I did not like the corner blocks at the store, so he customized them exactly as I wanted.  My rooms are painted beautifully with no overlaps or drips.  He deglazed and sanded my trim twice before enameling, so it does not scratch off.  I know, he had me try to scratch the surface!   Also, no trim paint on the wall, no wall paint on the trim!  The built-in bookcase proved to be more than Mr. Roberts bargained for due to the structure of the house, but he did a wonderful job.  In fact, another contractor was over yesterday and asked what finish my bookcase had been before.  He was surprised when I told him they were newly built and had always been just as they are. I would certainly hire Apex Painting and Remodeling again.  In fact, I have.  He is going to help me with the rest of my home.  I am so pleased that Mr. Roberts took the time to do the job right and paid attention to details.  He could have easily taken advantage of me, as my husband recently passed away, and I am a little lost when it comes to things around the house.    To be honest, I was overwhelmed with the task before me, but Apex came in, calmed me down and took care of it.  I like that Mr. Roberts usually works alone, so he can control the quality of the work.  He will explain what he is doing and why, if you want him to, otherwise, he is very quiet.  And he does not mind if you watch him work.  I would highly recommend Mr. Roberts at Apex Painting & Remodeling, in fact I have already given his card to several friends."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

You should wait at least 24 hours for drywall mud to dry before sanding or applying another coat. However, the exact drying time depends on several factors, including the thickness of the application, room temperature, humidity, and the type of compound used. Thicker layers, or projects in high humidity, may require 48 hours or more. Lightweight compounds tend to dry faster than heavier, all-purpose ones. You'll know the mud is ready when it feels completely dry and firm to the touch and has changed to a consistent light color. Sanding too early can cause smudging or gouges, so patience is essential for a smooth finish.

Which style of corner bead you choose—whether metal or paper-faced—depends on your preference and if you’re comfortable using metal-cutting tools and a hammer. Metal bead offers superior strength and durability but its installation is slightly more involved. We’d say for most cases, it’s better to use metal bead but if you’re not comfortable working with metal, paper-faced bead will work just fine. 

It is more difficult to drywall a ceiling than it is to drywall a wall, but not so hard that DIYers can’t tackle it. One of the main issues with hanging drywall on your ceiling is getting it into place. Drywall isn’t light so, if you are hanging full drywall panels, you will need at least two (it’s better with more) people to hold the panel while you drill it into the ceiling as a single piece can weigh between 40 and 60 pounds and will need to be held in place for up to 10 minutes.

Small patches can be DIY, but professionals handle large-scale repairs with seamless results.

If you already have plaster walls and ceilings, adding new plaster costs $2 to $10 per square foot. For an average-sized room, that would come out to $1,200 to $10,000. However, the cost to replace plaster with drywall is higher—running between $720 and $1,250 for a 10-by-8-foot wall or ceiling (not including drywall finishing).
