"Removal of old plaster ceiling and replace with new drywall ceiling. The job was done quickly and professionally and everything was cleaned up thoroughly to my satisfaction."
"I had a fantastic experience with TCL Remodeling for my drywall repair. From the very beginning, their communication was outstanding—they were always prompt to respond and kept me in the loop the entire time. The pricing was very fair and transparent, and the quality of the work was great. You can’t even tell there was damage to begin with, and they left the area completely clean. I would recommend to anyone needing reliable and professional service!"
"The service was incredible. The response time was quick. He came out and gave an estimate within a day. The paint job and drywall repair looks amazing! They took care to protect our furniture and floors from drywall dust. I highly recommend them."
"I recently hired Moyses from Nicolle Paint for some drywall patching and painting, and I couldn't be happier with the results! He responded to my request very quickly and provided a clear, reasonable quote for the work. Moyses was very considerate of my home. He took great care to protect all my belongings and flooring and did a fantastic job of cleaning up when the work was done. Not only did he complete the job on time, but the quality of both the drywall patching and the painting was excellent. For anyone needing drywall or painting services, I would highly recommend Moyses and Nicolle Paint."
"Walter did am excellent job of sealing a gap under my sliding door that was giving me water intrusion issues. He clearly explained what he was doing and offered suggestions for how to mitigate drainage issues that were contributing factors to the water intrusion. He was very professional, courteous, and cleaned up well after the job was done."
"24/7 contracting is EVERYTHING you ever want in a contractor - timely, communicative, reliable, affordable, kind, clean, efficient. Bienvenido from 24/7 arrived to my home, left his shoes at the door due to the rain and went straight to work on replacing my garbage disposal. He even saved me an extra trip to Home Depot by modifying cables himself. I look forward to using 24/7 for any of my other future contracting needs."
"Amazing craftsmanship and quality work. I highly recommend Bill for any of your handyman needs. We we're selling our house and needed him to touch-up some items and he knocked it out of the park for a very reasonable price. Bill was always on time and was very trustworthy. Look no further for your handyman needs!"
"I’ve used Carlos several times for various carpentry work, both interior and exterior. He’s very professional, skilled, and reasonably priced. Highly recommend"
"The technician was great and I was impressed that he could put up the drywall (6' x 4'), skim the area, put in entirely new baseboard, and finally paint the area. I thought the service was a little bit pricey and the entire wall wasn't painted (about 60% of it was done) but the finished product was exceptional. You can't even tell there was work done as it was put back to original condition. Once we got new carpet padding down from another company, we can finally get back to using the room again. I would hire Mr. Handyman of AA again for any medium-major house project. Thanks!"
There are a handful of reasons why your drywall anchors are breaking. Using the wrong type of anchor is the most common problem, so always make sure you’re using the best option for a particular project. That there are electrical wires or plumbing where you’ve placed an anchor or that your drywall is weak are two other possible causes.
Certain drywall textures, like sand and sometimes popcorn, can be smoothed by applying skim coats, sanding the walls, or chipping away the texture. However, it’s worth considering removing the texture and starting with a blank canvas. Smoothing textured walls requires a lot of sandpaper and elbow grease and can take longer than just outright removing the texture.
If you're comfortable hanging drywall yourself, you may be comfortable finishing it. But it's worth noting that finishing drywall adds several steps to the process and a lot of waiting time. Hiring a drywall installer may be the way to go if you'd rather spend your time doing other things or are nervous about leaving a rough surface.
Technically speaking, you can use drywall primer over plasters. However, oil-based primers work the most effectively on wall plasters. Meanwhile, water-based primers work just as well with drywalls. Nowadays, there are also universal primers suitable for drywall and plaster. Overall, you will be fine as long as you are using a trustworthy brand.
It is possible to apply plaster on the interior or exterior of your home, but we don’t recommend it. Plaster is easy to apply in theory, but in reality, it can be a challenging material to work with, and it’s difficult to get the finished product to look clean, even, and smooth. Many DIYers end up calling in a professional afterward to touch up the area or even redo it entirely because of mistakes they made in the process. Hiring a plaster pro will cost more, but it’s usually the best option to achieve high-quality results.
