"I found evidence of termites in a pile of wood in the garage. I called four companies to come out for an inspection and estimate. I chose Clegg's because they didn't try to sell me too much, were not overly aggressive in their sales tactics, and addressed as much as possible concerns I had about not being able to trench within the crawlspace.
I have a sump pump in the crawl space. Because of this, NC law does not allow pest companies to trench inside the crawl space and apply pesticide, as the pesticide will just be pumped out the next time the sump pump works. Because of this, two of the companies that gave me estimates would have had me sign the "North Carolina Waiver of Minimum Requirements For The Control of Subterranean Termites in Existing Structures" before having the work done. Clegg's addressed my concerns about this by drilling on the inside walls of the crawlspace and applying pesticide that way. Because of this, they met the minimum requirements, and I did not need to sign the waiver form.
I requested that they use Termidor instead of Premise, which they generally use. They did this for no additional charge.
Clegg's inspector found evidence of active termites in 3 locations in the garage. He also went into the crawlspace and around the house to see if there was any other evidence. He did not look under the drywall in the garage to see if there were termites there (a possibility, based on the other termite activity), nor did he discuss fixing any possible damage that could have occurred, but none of the other companies that gave me estimates did either.
The inspector was willing to drop by my place of work to have me sign the final contract, which I found very convenient.
The workmen arrived on time. They trenched around the house and garage and did a full drill out -- drilling about every half foot in the garage, the front stoop, and on the inside from the crawlspace the foundation. The work was completed in about 2 hours. They also noticed that we had a lot of mosquitoes in our backyard, and sprayed some pesticide in the yard and under the back deck for them for free.
The workmen had to borrow our electrical extension cord for the work. I can't recall the reason why they did that, but they returned it neatly. They left the area they worked in fairly clean -- they swept in the garage where they did the drill outs, though they accidentally left a drill bit.
I didn't get a bill until a month after the work, which was long enough to have me worry that I had gotten lost in the billing system. The salesman had told me they would do a re-inspection prior to billing, but they did not do that. I didn't think it was really necessary though, so did not complain about it."

"I needed repairs to a skylight from squirrel damage, and shingles replaced and a section of gutters repaired from a large tree branch hitting roof. Found Colbalt Roofing on Angie's List and called to get estimate. Set a time to meet David Francis (Cobalt) at my home to discuss repairs. As soon as David got on the roof he mentioned it looked as though the roof had hail damage. I really didn't pay that much attention to his comment as the roof had been replaced within the last 8-10 years and it looked fine to me other than the damaged area from the tree branch and the skylight. He took notes and said he would work up an estimate and get back with me within 24 hours. The next day he sent me a reasonable estimate $375.00 to repair the skylight, repair damaged section of gutter, and replace small section of wood on roof and put down new shingles. We scheduled a time for the repair. He again mentioned that roof looked like it had hail damage and recommended I consider calling my Insurance Company. Although I had doubts I called them. They asked that I hold off on the repairs until they send a claim adjustor. I notified David and he said no problem and stated he would meet the adjustors when they arrived if needed. The insurance claim adjustor came and confirmed there was severe hail and wind damage to the roof. He demonstrated to me on section in the roof where there were lines in the shingles and he grabbed and flipped them up. He also noticed hail damage to the gutters not caused by the tree branch. There were numerous dents in the gutters and downspouts and numerous scratches and dents in the other four skylights that I thought was just normal wear and tear. Because of the extensive damage on the roof the adjustor asked to look at the inside of the house where he found minor damage and water spots on the ceiling in three rooms. Some needed minor repair to the drywall and repainting. All the repair was covered under my policy other than the damage caused by the squirrel, minus the deductible. David at Cobalt Roofing provided an estimate for repairs with like materials (architectural shingles) within the insurance claim estimate. He also offered the opportunity to upgrade the quality of the roof shingles to a shingle called Presidential Shake because of a surplus he had from a previous job that matched the color of our house. Because of the surplus and with the deep discount I was able to obtain the higher quality shingles at the same cost of the architectural shingles. The roofing crew was very professional and did an excellent job. It did take a little longer than anticipated because of bad weather. Every evening the crew did a thorough cleanup before departing. After the roof was completed the painting crew came in and made repairs to the drywall, painted and cleaned up in one day. My wife and I are extremely pleased with the quality of the work performed. We now have the best looking roof in the neighborhood."

"Veterans removed a wall we suspected had water/mold damage. They replaced the insulation and replaced drywall. There were no problems encountered. They also removed a shower unit from our bathroom. It went seamlessly. Their price was very fair and lower than some competitors and the quality of work was great."
You should not leave drywall outside, especially overnight or in a wet, humid climate. Exposure to rain and humidity can damage the drywall, weakening its structural integrity and making it susceptible to mold growth. If you must leave drywall outside during a project, be sure to cover it with a tarp or keep it inside a storage shed to protect it. Even drywall intended for exterior projects requires a protective moisture barrier. For best results, store any extra drywall in a dry area away from the elements.
While certain types of textured walls can seem dated (looking at you, popcorn), textured walls are a common sight in both older and more modern homes. The main reason textured walls may be here to stay is that they are an excellent way to hide minor imperfections on a wall and give it a finished appearance. Some homeowners think a coat of paint on drywall is a bit industrial-looking. However, that look works perfectly in modern home design.
A 50-pound mirror can be hung on drywall, but only if it has the support of strong hardware. Ideally, you can find the studs behind the drywall and attach the mirror to them; this will give your mirror better stability. Otherwise, confirm that you are using anchors appropriate to the weight of the mirrors. Another technique is to use French cleats—two pieces of wood that fit together, with one piece attached to the wall and the other to the mirror. This allows the weight to be distributed over a wider area.
A common cause of separation between a wall and the ceiling is truss lift—this can happen to the ceiling of rooms directly under the attic when the seasons change and wood building materials dry out, shrink, and shift. Roof trusses often dry out at different speeds, and if the bottom pieces dry out faster than the top pieces, they can shrink and pull the attached drywall away from ceilings and walls, causing cracks. Fortunately, truss lift is only a cosmetic problem, not a structural problem, and you can fix it by separating the ceiling drywall from the roof trusses, and patching the cracks.
There are a few ways to figure out if your walls are plaster or drywall, but the pushpin method is probably the easiest option. To try it, choose a part of your wall where you can insert a pushpin or thumbtack without leaving an obvious mark. If it goes in easily, you have drywall. But if the wall is tough to penetrate, that’s plaster.
