WE RECEIVED A WONDERFUL JOB. THE OWNER, AL, WAS ON THE JOB FROM THE FIRST DAY. THEY ARRIVED ON TIME EVERY DAY & WERE VERY PROFESSIONAL. THEY DID EXACTLY WHAT THEY PROMISED.  THE CREW TOOK OFF A FEW DAYS BETWEEN COATS OF STUCCO TO LET IT DRY PROPERLY, BEFORE THE NEXT COAT. THEY EVEN CAME BACK TO MIST THE FIRST COAT EACH DAY, UNTIL IT WAS CURED.

WE HAD THE JOB DONE ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO AND IT IS STILL PERFECT. THERE HAS BEEN NO FADING AND THERE ARE NO CRACKS ANYWHERE. IT STILL LOOKS LIKE THE DAY THEY FINISHED.

THEY ALSO DID SOME DRYWALL REPAIRS UNDER THE OVERHANGS AND PATIO COVER. PERFECT JOB. THEY REPAINTED THE REPAIRED AREAS AND THE TRANSITION LINES BETWEEN THE NEW STUCCO AND THE NEW DRYWALL ARE PERFECT. I WISH I COULD PAINT THIS WELL .

THEY ALSO RESTUCCOED OUR EXTERIOR BLOCK FENCE. ANOTHER PERFECT JOB. WE ONLY HAD THEM DO A PORTION OF THE WALL, BUT WE WILL HAVE THEM BACK TO DO THE REST OF THE WALL.

I AM A REALTOR AND HAVE DONE REHABS FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I WISH ALL MY CONTRACTORS WERE AS GOOD AS BLU SKY NM DRYWALL & STUCCO.

I WILL DEFINATELY USE THEM AGAIN. I GIVE THEM AN AAA+.

YOU CAN TRUST THEM TO DO WHAT THEY SAY AND SHOW UP WHEN THEY SAY THEY WILL. YOU WILL BE HAPPY WITH THE BEAUTIFUL JOB THEY DO.

"It was a shaky start with some unforeseen obstacles. However, after things settled down Bill got to work and met the deadline that I had originally set. The paint came out great. I needed 2 living rooms and a dining room painted, along with the ceilings in each room. They were able to complete everything in the timeframe given, even after my wife changed her mind on the one of the walls that had already been painted. I had movers coming the next day and Bill even offered to come back the day after the movers to fix any scuffs or scratches that occurred. If you are looking for a great finished paint job hire Bill."

"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."

"The service provided was okay. I would marginally recommend them. The thing I disliked about is that the offer was four hours for one man or two hours for two men. So they sent two men and so they meant two hours. But the other guy just stood around and didn't do anything. He mixed up some mud for the drywaller and he didn't do anything else. I thought that was a way to get around four hours of work. They were able to complete the work in two hours because it was not a very big job. While one man was doing one part, cause I have three places that needed repair, I thought man should have been working on the other part but that's not the way. It was a good price for the deal. They responded pretty quickly."

"He was awesome.  He called back, but he was working in Reed field, North Carolina and he could not get to us for a couple of days.  By the time, he got to us we had already gotten the other estimates, and we were pleased with him.  Hampton guy was great.  He was really quick to get back to us, but he had other projects that he had already lined up.  The experience was very satisfactory.  He was very courteous, and prompt.  He was very honest in saying that he cannot get to us, and if we needed to have this work done now, then we need to have to get somebody else.  I appreciated that."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Drywall tape is made of paper, while drywall mesh is made of fiberglass or metal. Drywall mesh patches are suitable for repairing small holes in drywall, while paper drywall tape holds a crease better for corners. You need joint compound to adhere drywall tape to the wall, while mesh patches may be self-adhesive.

Metal corners, often referred to as corner beads for square corners, are used on drywall installations to provide structural reinforcement to vulnerable outside corners. Their usage safeguards against chipping, denting, or other forms of damage, enhancing the overall durability of the wall. Metal corners also offer a precise and straight edge that facilitates sharp and clean lines, crucial for achieving a polished and professional finish.

Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.

Some painters will repair minor drywall damage. For repair work of any kind, it’s a good idea to hire the professional required for the job. Many painters will have the materials on hand and can add them to the total cost. While you may save some money, there is a chance the work will be subpar compared to a professional who specializes in drywall.

Yes, you can speed up the time it takes for plaster to dry, but it's important to do so carefully to avoid issues like cracking or crumbling. Proper ventilation is key; open a window or use a fan to circulate air in the room. Heat can also accelerate drying, but be cautious, as too much heat can cause the plaster to dry too quickly and crack. Check the plaster's packaging for the recommended drying temperature and set the room's thermostat accordingly. While managing humidity is important, avoid using a dehumidifier, which can remove moisture too aggressively and result in crumbly plaster.
