"We had fantastic work and timeline from Bob. They replastered our textured ceilings over 4 days and did a fantastic job. Bob was quick and easy to communicate with, as well as scheduling (estimate and work days). Several other contractors who came through the house complimented their work and the speed of the job."
"Thrilled with the work they did - replacing some drywall and a few cracks. Very professional - looked beyond the immediate job to identify possible issues with no pressure. Did excellent work and cleaned up afterwards. Nice guys too! Will hire again."
"We live in a mobile home and noticed that the paint on the exterior was starting to look dingy. So, we started looking around for painters and found Urbano Painting. They were very courteous, professional, came out promptly to estimate, and gave us a good price. That courtesy and promptness carried through when we made the decision to hire them. They helped us pick out a good color, powerwashed and prepped thoroughly, the whole crew was very kind and professional (no foul language to even each other, messiness, or anything like that), and the paint job they did looks beautiful. It looks practically brand new! We are very happy with them and would recommend them to anybody; especially elderly people like ourselves. They were just so kind and conscientious at every step and that helped us feel safe with hiring them."
"My husband and I hired Chuck to finish some drywall mudding and painting for my kitchen. He was timely and gave a reasonable rate! He was great to work with and my kitchen is amazing! Big thank you to chucks paint and handyman service!"
"Matt did an awesome job fixing our ceiling and walls in our bathroom . He was professional and reasonably priced! I give M.G & Sons paining a 5 star review!!"
"They did a fantastic job with my driveway. They managed to expand it so it can park all my cars and so I can pull in and out easily. I highly recommend them for everyone who wants their project to be done as soon as possible because they have great availability."
Yes, even if you’re being careful, removing tile can damage your drywall to some degree. However, you can minimize the damage done to it by eliminating a majority of the grout and taking your time prying each tile off. Also, it's worth noting that you might have more drywall damages to deal with if your tile is set into the mortar.
There shouldn’t be any gaps between your walls and ceiling. These can be fixed with joint compound but that is only a fix, and it’s much better if your drywall fits correctly in the first place. Sometimes gaps can appear if your foundation shifts significantly but if this is the case, you have a much bigger problem than patching drywall.
Drywall insulation costs around $1,800, on average, but prices can range from $500 to $4,500, depending on a few different factors. The following things are important considerations to make when pricing out your insulation project:
Square footage of insulation
Type of insulation
Climate in your area and the insulation R-value required
Whether or not your walls are already finished
Accessibility of the area
Whether or not you need old insulation removed first
Yes, it is possible to rewire a house without removing the drywall, but this doesn’t work in all homes. You can pull out old wires and insert new ones if you have access to the wiring system via the ceiling or through a crawl space. Some pros can also use a magnetic kit to fish the old wire out of the wall through a hole cavity and install the new wires. Just keep in mind that doing this is less stable than removing drywall, as you won’t be able to staple the wires into the framing.
If you don’t have studs in the area where you want to install your TV mount, you may still be able to install a TV mount on drywall. The easiest way to install a mount on drywall is by using drywall anchors—but not just any plastic anchors. Choose molly bolts or toggle anchors, which have a weight capacity of around 50 pounds. For added support, consider pairing drywall anchors with a wall mounting plate. Extra heavy TVs may need to be mounted via the ceiling joists or beams.
