"Anthony did a super job. The price seemed reasonable though I am no expert on construction costs. The work I had done as the plaster and taping of the drywall which I had already installed."
"We hired Chad to sheetrock a number of ceilings and walls in a house we are remodeling. He is easy to work with and does excellent work. We would hire him again."
"Jorge at Luxury Designs is fantastic to work with, and the quality truly is top-notch! All of the workers are courteous and polite, and they really do pay attention to the details. I would recommend them to anyone!"
"Working with dry air restoration was a great experience. they were on time and the work was done very efficient. The quality of their work was exceptional and the price was almost $2,000 cheaper than the estimate I received from another company. "
After 13 years of a high-stress career in law enforcement, I needed a change. In 2021, I started Med City Handy Ma'am. I offer a safe, professional, and reliable way to get all of your home improvement needs taken care of. From faucets to fixtures, wall hangings to furniture repair, and many other improvements, there's not much I can't do. And if I can't... I almost always know someone who can!
"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."
"They did a good job. The roof looks good and is holding up so far. They cleaned up the yard when they were done and were not too noisy while they were doing the job.
"The team was prompt and very detailed, was able to pivot and suggest little changes that improved the overall look. They reconstructed a soffit and several bathroom and bedroom walls to enhance the appearance. I asked for non textured ceilings and they are flawless. Great communication throughout the job…I will rehire again in the future!!"
Which style of corner bead you choose—whether metal or paper-faced—depends on your preference and if you’re comfortable using metal-cutting tools and a hammer. Metal bead offers superior strength and durability but its installation is slightly more involved. We’d say for most cases, it’s better to use metal bead but if you’re not comfortable working with metal, paper-faced bead will work just fine.
Regular dusting, occasional repainting, and avoiding harsh scrubbing preserve the finish.
Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.
It is more difficult to drywall a ceiling than it is to drywall a wall, but not so hard that DIYers can’t tackle it. One of the main issues with hanging drywall on your ceiling is getting it into place. Drywall isn’t light so, if you are hanging full drywall panels, you will need at least two (it’s better with more) people to hold the panel while you drill it into the ceiling as a single piece can weigh between 40 and 60 pounds and will need to be held in place for up to 10 minutes.
Ceiling-mounted curtains won’t damage the ceiling if they’re installed properly. Using the right anchors or securing the brackets into joists will ensure the curtain weight is properly supported and prevent damage. However, overtightening screws, using weak anchors, or repeatedly removing and reinstalling hardware in the same spot can cause cracking or sagging over time. In that case, you might have to call a pro for ceiling repair.
