Q: How do you know if a wall is load-bearing?

• <div><p>The easiest way to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/load-bearing-wall.htm">tell if a wall is load bearing</a> is to check if it&rsquo;s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don&rsquo;t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you&rsquo;re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.</p></div>

Q: When hanging drywall, should you start at the top or the bottom, and why?

• <div><p>You should always hang drywall from the top down. Starting at the top makes it easier to create a straight, tight line between the ceiling and the wall. Any gaps that occur will be at the bottom, where they are easier to manage. You can either cut the bottom piece of drywall to fit the remaining space or cover the gap with baseboard trim. Additionally, starting at the top is physically easier, as you won't have to fit the top sheet into a tight space between the lower sheet and the ceiling, or try to balance the upper sheets on the lower ones while securing them.</p></div>

Q: Is removing a wall texture hard?

• <div><p>Most handy homeowners can tackle removing texture from unpainted walls. Removing texture from painted walls is a bit trickier. Paint acts as a sealant, so you can&rsquo;t soften the texture with water. Instead, you&rsquo;ll have to add a layer of drywall compound known as a skim coat. This process is messy and takes some practice.</p></div>

Q: What causes plaster damage?

• <div><p>Common causes include water leaks, settling, and impact. Address underlying issues to prevent recurring damage.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if my ceiling is plaster or drywall?

• <div><p>The age of your home can clue you in to whether you have <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-tell-drywall-vs-plaster.htm">plaster or drywall ceilings</a>. Homes built after the &lsquo;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&rsquo;s much harder to push one into a plaster wall. If you&rsquo;re still unsure, ask a drywall professional to let you know which type of ceilings and walls you have. </p></div>

We hired Tyler a few weeks ago for an exterior soft wash and to refinish our deck. He provided exceptional service, was very professional and the price was perfect for an exterior refresh! Our family will end up asking him back every summer with how everything turned out!

Recently they came up with a great design for a 40â granite outdoor staircase and a large outdoor patio with natural earth stones. They also solved a lot of drainage/flooding issues I was having! I highly recommend them for your next job. They go above and beyond for their customers!"

"Diego and his crew are amazing! Punctual, fair price and just a great job all around. I even had other contractors come through who commented on what a great job they did. At one point we were on a very tight timeline and needed the remaining plaster installed before the floors went in. Diego’s crew worked late on a Saturday to make sure it was done. Simply could not have stayed on schedule without him."
