"Greg was very accommodating with my schedule, which kept changing due to work.  He arrived on time and started working right away.  He ran into some trouble with our 150 year old construction and worked until 7:00 PM that day.  Unfortunately for him, he didn't finish, but he came back right away the next morning.  I wasn't able to be there, but we felt comfortable leaving him a key.  He let himself in, finished the job, and cleaned up.  The room was in almost perfect condition.  Greg was very creative in wiring the lights so that he didn't' have to create holes in the walls or ceiling.  There are a couple of patches that we will have to spackle and repaint, but that's to be expected given the type of work done and that the deal said that it didn't include drywall repair. I was worried that that meant he would haphazardly put holes in the walls and leave them gaping open, but he certainly didn't do that and he repaired what he did do to my expectations.  
The lights look absolutely amazing - the room is so much more comfortable with the dimmer option and the recessed lights look so good we are considering them for other rooms in the house.  
Another plus - Greg was really good with the dog and friendly to me.  Sometimes it can be uncomfortable to have another person in your home, but Greg was very pleasant.

"The installers of the wallboard were quick and efficient. Did a great job hanging in our new 16 x 32 family room. Even with some of the patch work in other areas of the house they ensured the surrounding wallboard had screws to adequately cover the area before the taper came in. The man that taped and mudded was a true professional. His corners and seams are clean and overall the expertise of the entire crew was exceptional. I would certainly hire this company again."

"Well, the first time the replacement was ordered it was the wrong one, which of course, delayed the installation a week. When it was finally installed I had to pay an additional $850 for code upgrades. This I was not informed of by Home Shield. Then we noticed that there was water on the garage floor and found that the pipe coming in from the wall was leaking at the wall so had to call the plumbing company back out to fix it. They first tried to say it was not their fault but since there wasn't a leak before they installed they did fix it. I have used Home Shield a few times before and never had a problem. Some of the companies they use are not the best so you have to research them before you commit. I have found HS service to be good if you do your homework. At the end of the day I was without hot water for almost 3 weeks but it was do to the plumbing company they sent out."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

If your home was built before the 1940s and was not remodeled in the past 50 or so years, you probably have plaster walls. Aside from assuming, there are some practical ways to tell if you have plaster walls, including the following: If you knock on the wall and it feels solid, not hollow, if you can’t insert a thumbtack easily, if there are cracks that look like spiderwebs, or if your home has curved, arched, or swirled walls, doorways, or window openings.

If you have an unfinished basement or attic, you could examine the backs of any finished walls to check, too.

You can take a few steps to save money on drywall installation, even when hiring a professional to do the bulk of the work for you. These ideas include the following:

  • Buy the drywall and other materials yourself to avoid product markup and delivery fees

  • Ask about discounts if you use the same company to tape, spackle, and paint

  • Hire drywall professionals in the winter when demand is the lowest

  • DIY as many parts of the project as possible, like replacing insulation and painting

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

It's generally recommended to hang drywall on the ceiling first before moving on to the walls. This sequence allows the ceiling sheets to provide support for the vertical wall sheets. By attaching the ceiling drywall initially, you establish a solid framework to align and attach the wall panels accurately. This method ensures a seamless and sturdy connection between the ceiling and walls, resulting in a more professional finish.

Whether to repair or replace water-damaged plaster depends on the scale of the damage. For small, limited areas, you can often perform a repair yourself. If you choose to paint over small patches, ensure the surface is completely dry and apply a coat of antifungal primer first to prevent mold growth. However, simply painting or plastering over the damage is only a temporary solution that doesn't address the core problem. For more extensive or long-term damage, the plaster may be compromised, and there is a risk of mold. In these cases, it is recommended to remove the damaged section of plasterboard and replace it. You may consider hiring a professional for the repair, and it's worth noting that water damage is often covered by home insurance.
