"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."
Deciding whether to repair or replace drywall can be tricky, but your top considerations should be the extent of the damage and what caused the damage. For instance, if you need to repair a small hole caused by a doorknob that hit the wall, you can safely patch it without a second thought. However, if you have significant drywall damage caused by water damage, it’s best to thoroughly remove the drywall to inspect and repair the pipes behind it before replacing it.
Yes, it matters which side of drywall you use. One side is smooth, and the other is rough. The smooth side should be facing outward, toward the room, while the rough side should be hidden and facing the studs and framing of the house. The smooth side will be easier to apply tape, joint compound, and, later, paint to.
Yes, wainscoting is installed directly over drywall. However, ensure the drywall is in good shape since it will support the wainscoting. If the drywall has issues, such as holes, mold, or mildew, repair them before installing the wainscoting. Alternatively, you can install a plywood substrate before attaching the trim.
Small patches can be DIY, but professionals handle large-scale repairs with seamless results.
While textured walls can elevate a space in many ways, there are a couple of downsides to consider. Namely, they’re hard to clean, and some textures fall out of fashion quickly. Make sure to consider all your options to find one you truly love before diving in.
