"We have a two story home in Patchogue that had a leak that resulted in water in the walls of our attached garage. We could not locate the cause of the leak. We contacted Exterior Team Home Services who quickly located the source of the leak which required us to replace the front roofing of our house. It was done very quickly at a fair price. We were also impressed on how they made sure the old roofing material did not get into our front lawn or plants. They were meticulous in the way they treated our property. A job well done."

"Hugo and his team are professional, courteous, and meticulous. We hired them to do several projects. They remodeled my kitchen, including new sheet rock, back splash and vinyl floor. He built a pantry with French doors with shelves. They replaced 2 storm doors, 2 entry doors, patio door, and bathroom window and exhaust fan. This led to additional project of adding high hat lighting in our dining room. His price was fair and reasonable with other quotes we received. When you talk with him about a project he gives you some input to finish the project. I would hire them again and highly recommend his company."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Drywall can be installed directly on ceiling joists. In fact, this method is common in many construction projects. Drywall sheets are attached to the joists using screws, ensuring a secure and stable installation. Before attaching the drywall, it's important to mark the joist locations on the ceiling, allowing for accurate screw placement. Proper spacing between screws and careful taping and mudding of joints are crucial to creating a smooth and flawless ceiling surface. If the joists are in good condition and level, installing drywall directly on them is a practical and efficient approach.

Furring strips, thin strips of wood or metal, are not always required for ceiling drywall installation. If the ceiling surface is even and in good condition, drywall can be directly attached to the ceiling joists using screws. However, furring strips become essential when dealing with irregular surfaces or when additional insulation or soundproofing is needed. They create a level substrate for attaching the drywall. Ultimately, the decision to use furring strips depends on the condition of the existing ceiling and the specific requirements of the project.

Whether a drywall anchor can be reused depends on its material, type, and the method of removal. Plastic anchors, including expansion and self-drilling types, are generally designed for single use as they tend to break or deform upon removal. Metal anchors, such as toggle bolts, are more durable and may be reusable if they are not damaged during extraction. However, with toggle bolts, the toggle piece can fall into the wall cavity when the bolt is removed, making it difficult to retrieve. If an anchor is damaged during removal, for instance by having its head cut off, it cannot be reused regardless of the material.

There are several things you should not do when installing drywall. Common mistakes include: adding too many screws, over-sanding, not adding backing support, and installing drywall unevenly. You also should avoid screwing into the same place twice, installing Sheetrock with tapered edges on the outside, and making too many joints.

Cracks, holes, water damage, and dents from heavy equipment often require repair.
