"I cannot give enough good comments about our experience with Hank and his outstanding good service, for painting the interior of my home, during these difficult pandemic times. He and his team are professional, personable, and always on time. I am so appreciative. The work Hank did showed his knowledge and efficiency, as they worked and handled the project particulars. Cleaning up and preparing for the next day was very considerate for me and illustrates what a great work ethic he has for his business. Subsequently, when it was time to pay the bill which was reasonable and he more than fulfilled all the work that he quoted with expertise. I paid the bill smiling, knowing that I had chosen the best, accomplished, and respectful person for our project. I highly recommend this company for your painting home improvement needs."

"The workers showed up on time, were clearly well prepared, were careful about our carpeting, and cleaned up completely. All imperfections were fixed on the second day of work (as was originally planned for). I would highly recommend using their services."

"Hector and Moises were excellent! Hector came with one other of their crew and assembled my permanent gazebo. I have stone pavers and they were very careful in cutting them and digging Deep enough to establish a good anchor. They even installed railings for my back stoop. I would highly recommend them! Clean... affordable and professional."

"This is the second time I have hired Jakob. He also did my brother's bathroom. Jacob listens to what you want. He notices details. Great at recommendations and design. He brought samples to the house. Communicates daily if need be. He Ikes to do this correct. He is easy going and I would recommend him to anybody no matter how small or big the project."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

You can skim coat plaster, but it’s better to repair the plaster itself. A skim coat is a thin coat of drywall joint compound spread over the surface of a wall. The result is a flat finish that looks pleasing, but part of the appeal of plaster is its imperfections and aesthetic. Skim coating is best when limited to drywall applications.

Choose a drill bit that is the size of the screws of the anchors you will use. You aren’t drilling through metal or concrete—hopefully—so any standard twist, wooden or all-purpose drill bit will work fine. It’s also important to have a screwdriver capable of drilling through the drywall and into the stud. The good news is most available drills, even the older ones, can do this with no issue.

Yes, it matters which side of drywall you use. One side is smooth, and the other is rough. The smooth side should be facing outward, toward the room, while the rough side should be hidden and facing the studs and framing of the house. The smooth side will be easier to apply tape, joint compound, and, later, paint to.

The cost to skim coat drywall is $1.15 to $1.35 per square foot. Most of the cost is labor, for the necessary skills to apply the skim coat with precision using high-quality tools. This is a job better left to the professionals for the best outcomes.

The best tool for skim coating drywall is a skim coating blade, which can smooth out joint compound in wide stretches. While you could use a smaller drywall knife for skim coating, the smaller size means it’ll take longer to smooth out each section. Instead, consider investing in a skim coating blade for the quickest application.
