"These guys were great. Some delays due to weather but they were always on time when the weather was good and they did a fine job. They frequently asked me to look over their work to make sure it met my expectations. If I noticed anything, they never objected and they promptly attended to it. In fact the quality of the work and their attitude was so good, I have decided to hire them to refinish my decks also."

"Overall I was very satisfied with the work.  The true measure of a company is how they respond when things don't go perfectly.  I had a few minor issues during the painting.  The painter accidentally knocked over a vase and broke it.  He felt terrible and apologized profusely.  Float n' Coat immediately reimbursed me for the vase.  Accidents happen and I was pleased with the way it was handled and how I was treated. 
Both Jason and Patrick were very professional and the walls/ceilings look great.  They made sure I was satisfied completely before leaving and calling the project complete.

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 amount of drywall you need for a 1,000-square-foot basement depends on the ceiling height, angles, number of doors and windows, and more. To find the wall square footage, multiply the width and height of each wall, minus any gaps from windows or doors, and add the totals together. You’ll also need enough drywood nails or screws to install the drywall correctly.

Drywall anchors won’t work on plaster. Instead, they will more than likely cause more damage and pull out the plaster. The best type of anchors to use on plaster walls are the ones that will bite into the surrounding area, such as molly bolts and toggle bolts. Masonry anchors with expanders on the sides also work for lighter pictures.

If your home was built before the 1940s and was not remodeled in the past 50 or so years, you probably have plaster walls. Aside from assuming, there are some practical ways to tell if you have plaster walls, including the following: If you knock on the wall and it feels solid, not hollow, if you can’t insert a thumbtack easily, if there are cracks that look like spiderwebs, or if your home has curved, arched, or swirled walls, doorways, or window openings.

If you have an unfinished basement or attic, you could examine the backs of any finished walls to check, too.

If you only have tiny holes in your drywall (for example, dents or nail marks), you probably won’t need a patch kit. Instead, you can plug the hole with a small amount of spackle. Once the spackle dries, you can sand the area and paint over it—just like you would in the steps outlined above.
