"Very professional. Wonderful to work with.
We hired them to put an addition on our home. They did everything very well : foundation, building the rooms, putting in insulation, drywall, painting, flooring, windows, roofing, plumbing, framing doors and windows, ductwork. They even built raised flower bed structures to go around the outside of the new addition.
They are a very talented and skilled company."

"I hired out Patch Boys to do a pretty intensive drywall repair project in a finished attic and they did such a great job! James was wonderful in getting me a quote over the phone, and the price was very fair for the amount of work that needed to be done. Darwin did a great job in making my space ready to paint, and was very friendly! I would definitely recommend this company for drywall repair, and plan to use them for any future drywall projects that come up!"
"Terrific work! Mike is very detail focused and thorough - clean edges and smooth paint, nothing sloppy about it. He filled and repaired a hole (about 4") in the drywall and many other nicks and scratches before painting. He filled in cracks between the trim pieces before painting as well. He was very neat and cleaned thoroughly after he was done. He did more than we expected, including painting the inside of our front door because he could tell it needed it. He was very friendly and gave us helpful painting tips for the areas we are going to paint ourselves. I was initially nervous to hire a painter because I am very picky about things being done neatly and I have seen too many sloppy paint jobs, but Mike was more picky about it than I was! He got great quality paint for the walls, and I appreciated that he was willing to use paint we already had for the trim. We will definitely call him again for any painting we need to have done!"
Very little. One inch of water can stain walls, warp wood, and create a perfect environment for mold growth. One to two inches of water can do significant damage to drywall, insulation, and electrical systems. Anything over that is considered an extensive flood, often resulting in severe structural damage.
If your home’s foundation shifts slightly over time, any seams in the drywall represent the weakest point in the wall, leading to cracks. If your home has significant changes in temperature and humidity, this can cause the drywall to swell and contract slightly, causing a crack at the weak point of the seam. If your drywall installer did a poor job securing the panels to the wall studs, this could cause a weak layout and cracks in the seams.
Although they have similar applications, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Their primary differences lie in their composition, consistency, and ideal use cases.
Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it thicker than joint compound. It dries quickly and is easy to sand, which makes it ideal for small wall repair projects like filling nail holes or patching minor damage.
Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum. It is primarily used for large-scale projects, such as taping and finishing the seams on newly installed drywall. It tends to shrink more than spackle and can be more difficult to spread.
While both products can be used to fill small depressions and cracks, spackle cannot replace joint compound for taping and mudding new drywall. Conversely, you can often use joint compound for small patching jobs typically done with spackle.
Plaster ceilings can sag for several reasons. In some cases, the plaster and other building materials shift and come apart over time, which is why you’ll commonly find drooping plaster ceilings in older homes. Improper installation, foot traffic, and water damage—often from a leaky roof or a broken pipe—can also cause plaster ceilings to sag.
Yes, even if you’re being careful, removing tile can damage your drywall to some degree. However, you can minimize the damage done to it by eliminating a majority of the grout and taking your time prying each tile off. Also, it's worth noting that you might have more drywall damages to deal with if your tile is set into the mortar.
