"Amazing job! Carlos and his team of experts went the extra mile to ensure that I got exactly what I wanted. Carlos reviewed details of the contract with me and we worked together to make adjustments if I had minor changes during the remodel. Long Creek construction workers, plumber, and electrician were timely, efficient, and consistently worked M-F and on some weekends. The result of Long Creekâ s work is a beautiful 600+ sq ft bedroom and bathroom. The bathroom is absolute nirvana: beautiful black matte porcelain tile floor, a black porcelain tile accent wall and shower accent, with luxury polished cream tiled walls with hints of black within. The shower has 6 shower heads, including 1 static rainfall, 1 hand-held shower head along with 4 side-wall mounted pressure point shower heads. The mirror has a defogger button and three-way light dimmingâ seriously? On either side of the mirror are beautiful sconce lights. The Woodbridge freestanding jetted tub is the final touch to give the bathroom a total spa-like atmosphere. And the vanity has spring-loaded closures for the cabinet doors and drawersâ no detail was overlooked. Long Creek did a spectacular job increasing the size of the primary bedroom from previously 200 sq ft to over 600 sq ft. It features two walk-in closets, beautiful solid hardwood floors, a high ceiling with recessed lighting with dimmers. The ceiling fan is a top-quality 8000+ CFM beauty. The bedroom has a large sitting room that breaks up the space very well and gives me and my husband the feeling that we are in an upscale hotel suite instead of a bedroom. Long Creek Construction is a professional, efficient, team of experts. They worked every dayâ even days with inclement weather. They donâ t waste time, they are incredibly accommodating, and they do things right! I am so impressed with the level of regular communication, exceptional quality of work, and timeliness of Long Creek Construction. I am extremely happy with the work and ! will definitely choose them again!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

The cost to install drywall is between $1.50 and $3 per square foot, while shiplap installation costs between $2 and $7 on average. In most applications, shiplap installations cost more than that of putting in drywall. However, several ways exist to reduce shiplap prices, especially for small locations or accent walls, which can keep the total cost of shiplap competitive with that of drywall.

While you can put new drywall over old drywall, it’s not always the best option. In some cases, drywalling over drywall can make it harder to find wires and pipes behind your walls and conceal more serious problems with your walls. It can also make the room smaller. On the plus side, putting drywall over drywall can improve soundproofing and insulation. Plus, it’s often less expensive than tearing down and adding new drywall.

Generally, shower walls should not be installed over drywall because of the moisture issues this can cause. If you’re using a direct-to-stud shower kit, you need to remove the drywall before you can do the installation.

However, if you’re using a glue-up shower kit or stall, you can glue the shower walls directly to drywall. Be sure to install a moisture-resistant drywall or waterproof cement board.

Drywall installation is considerably faster and more affordable than plastering. Because plastering involves applying a wet material, it’s more time-consuming, takes longer to dry, and is more prone to cracking. It doesn’t tend to be as insulative either. If you need resurfacing work done on the walls, it's not unusual for the cost of plastering to hit $10 per square foot, which is much higher than the drywall installation costs of $1.50 to $3 per square foot.

If you’re looking for good soundproofing and want a high-end look in a historic home, though, plastering may be the better option.
