"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."

"We contracted Aspen Creek Construction to remove an existing laminate floor over two layers of carpet, level three floors and install ceramic tile in our entry, seating area, kitchen, and dining room. It was a fairly complex operation and a whole lot of tiling. Troy completed the work with exceptional quality and on time. He was diligent about maintaining a neat work area and removed all of his construction materials as he completed each part of the remodel. We highly recommend using his knowledge and skills and will definitely hire again when we need additional work!"

"Ken & Caroline were the absolute best contractors I have EVER hired! They were extremely easy to work with as they treated our home like their own on every imaginable level from patching to custom colors to perfect trim lines to clean-up. They are priced very reasonably, much lower than their competitors. I plan on using them this summer. Lakeview Painting should be your first call because it will be your last call for quality workmanship. Every day we are more in love with the job they did for us!!"

"Ken and his wife are are great team. They are hard workers and will persist until you are satisfied with the job. They worked with us to schedule around our trips to the cottage, and were very flexible. They did both exterior and interior painting - and I recommend them for both. It's difficult to find reliable and fairly priced contractors in this part of Northern Michigan, and they are both."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can install drywall over plaster, but there are important factors to consider. While it can create a smooth, flat surface, it is often not the best approach. Installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall's thickness, which can cause issues with existing window and door frames that may no longer fit. You might also need to adjust power outlets to keep them accessible. A better, though more expensive, option is to remove the old plaster and lath entirely before installing new drywall. Drywalling directly over plaster seals in the old material, and if any problems arise later, you will need to remove both layers down to the structural beams for repairs. Given the potential complications, this job is best handled by professionals.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

When used correctly, drywall patch kits can work well. However, there are limitations. Specifically, these kits can only cover holes up to 5 inches in diameter. For anything larger than that, you’ll need to cut out the affected section of drywall and replace it with a new piece. That’s a far more complicated process that involves buying the right type of drywall, finding the wall studs, cutting into your wall, and screwing the replacement drywall in place.

The age of your home can clue you in to whether you have plaster or drywall ceilings. Homes built after the ‘70s are more likely to have drywall ceilings and walls, while older homes have plaster. You can also do the pushpin test: A pushpin will go into drywall, whereas it’s much harder to push one into a plaster wall. If you’re still unsure, ask a drywall professional to let you know which type of ceilings and walls you have.

If you don’t have studs in the area where you want to install your TV mount, you may still be able to install a TV mount on drywall. The easiest way to install a mount on drywall is by using drywall anchors—but not just any plastic anchors. Choose molly bolts or toggle anchors, which have a weight capacity of around 50 pounds. For added support, consider pairing drywall anchors with a wall mounting plate. Extra heavy TVs may need to be mounted via the ceiling joists or beams.
