"We originally wanted two water stained ceilings patched and painted and the living room re-painted. We met Mike who promptly met us after we requested an estimate. Having been in the financial industry for decades I've come across all kinds of sales people and I'm proud to say that Mike is not like any of them. Mike is friendly, genuine, professional and likeable. He is neither phony or pushy. He was pleasant and understanding of our needs. He told us what had to be done and gave us a reasonable estimate that never varied. His painters, Nino and Willie were assigned to our project. These two gentlemen were a pleasure to have in our home. We were extremely comfortable with them. Their work was truly professional and shamed the previous work done in our home. They arrived ahead of time and left the rooms clean and spotless. Their work was meticulous and showed off their skills. We were so impressed that we immediately hired them to repaint the stairwell and the bedrooms upstairs."

"Moises and his crew repaired water rotted wood in difficult locations and completely finished the garage to every detail from insulation to molding, as shown in pictures here. They thought of every detail that shows their pride over their work. Not only is their work top notch, but they are also easy to work with and very communicative through the whole process. I have already hired them for a second job."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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.

Options include bricks, natural stone, and concrete blocks. Choose based on durability, aesthetics, and budget.

You should wait at least 24 hours for drywall mud to dry before sanding or applying another coat. However, the exact drying time depends on several factors, including the thickness of the application, room temperature, humidity, and the type of compound used. Thicker layers, or projects in high humidity, may require 48 hours or more. Lightweight compounds tend to dry faster than heavier, all-purpose ones. You'll know the mud is ready when it feels completely dry and firm to the touch and has changed to a consistent light color. Sanding too early can cause smudging or gouges, so patience is essential for a smooth finish.

Applying plaster to a wall will usually cost between $2 and $10 per square foot for both the material and labor. The cost will vary based on the quality of the plaster you’re using and whether or not prep work is required before the work begins. Wall prep can add up to about 10% to your total costs. Plastering exterior walls can be more expensive in many cases because they are taller and require scaffolding and safety equipment.

Drywall insulation costs around $1,800, on average, but prices can range from $500 to $4,500, depending on a few different factors. The following things are important considerations to make when pricing out your insulation project:

  • Square footage of insulation

  • Type of insulation 

  • Climate in your area and the insulation R-value required

  • Whether or not your walls are already finished

  • Accessibility of the area 

  • Whether or not you need old insulation removed first
