"We hired Brian to fix our leaky windows. We weren't sure it could even be done. But he improvised something using weatherstripping, and our home is nice and warm now as the wind howls outside at 20 degrees. He worked quickly and kept us informed every step of the way. We are extremely pleased."

"I only wish I could recommend this man in person to everyone who is considering hiring him. He is absolutely FANTASTIC! He is kind, prompt, respectful of a budget and VERY easy to work with. He was able to do repairs and the clean up of my summer place after the previous owners had left it in a less than desirable state. Mike TRANSFORMED it! I've stayed there only one weekend to date and the neighbor's compliments are great! He worked amazingly fast and did it RIGHT. It's BEAUTIFUL. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR.....HIRE THIS GUY!!!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

Some textures are easier than others to DIY, but the short answer is yes, you can absolutely texture walls yourself. You’ll need certain materials, like a trowel or paint sprayer, but the most important things you’ll need are patience and time. DIYing wall texture can save money and be a fun, messy project, but homeowners need to know that adding texture to a wall isn’t a quick project. 

When sanding drywall mud, you’re going to create a very fine dust that may contain silica. Silica dust contains crystalline silica, which can cause long-term illnesses for people who inhale it in significant quantities. Wear a mask while sanding drywall. Then dampen a drywall sponge to wipe the dust off the drywall, helping to reduce the amount of dust that may become airborne.

Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.

The person’s skill will affect how many drywall sheets they can hang in one day. Some people can hang 10 or more sheets in a day, while others may only hang six or seven sheets. It also depends on the framing complexity since custom cutting and fitting the drywall can prolong the process.
