"Price was by far the best price in the area. The crew was great to deal with and went above and beyond (even cleaned the gutters and fixed some shingles "since we are up there anyway". They worked around a tough schedule with weather and fit in as much time as they could each day and still made it in the quoted deadline with several days of rain. Palmers drywall and paining is the prime example of why people should use smaller local companies with around the house projects and not have to worry about being out priced. I recommend them to anyone looking for painting work done. I will absolutely use them for the next project I have."

"We needed repairs and updates in all but one room of our main floor.  When Chris Means came to give us an estimate, he was polite and took the time to measure and ask questions.  Throughout the process, he was quick to communicate and involved in making sure that the job was done to our satisfaction.  It seemed important to all of the workers that we were satisfied with the work.  We were asked repeatedly to check everything out and make a list of anything that needed attention.  The problems that we pointed out were minor and were addressed with a great attitude.  At the end of each work day, everything was cleaned up and only with my permission were tools, etc., left in the garage or house.  The project was done in December, and we were expecting a good bit of company for Christmas.  During the week before Christmas, we asked that the living room be finished a bit earlier than they had scheduled, and Chris sent a crew over to work an extra afternoon.  I was thrilled that they cleaned up the room and put the furniture back so we could hang curtains and put up our Christmas tree that evening.  The company tries to be out of a house by 5 p.m., and, while they usually finished by 3:30, the stayed until about 6:30 on the last two days prior to Christmas so we could have the house presentable for our family.  All of the guys were polite and considerate, and I had no misgivings about leaving them in the house working when we were not home.  In fact, we had to be away overnight during the job, and we gave them a key so they could continue to work while we were gone. 
Anyone who is having walls patched, repaired, and painted should be aware that the sanding will leave everything covered in a fine white dust.  By All Means and More worked to clean that up, including wiping the floors on hands and knees.  The plastic they covered furniture and surfaces with helped, but in order to have our home ready for the Holidays, we did still do a good bit of cleaning. 
Overall, we are very pleased with the work done and found the crew to be professional and polite.  We would call them again."

"Jodie Machen is an outstanding workman and job manager. Our home is a old steel-baron era mansion from 1929. It needed a new roof and significant association flashing work. Jodie Machen was the perfectionist I was looking for. Not only did he do an immensely careful job, but he was thorough in his communication with me throughout, calling to touch base not just on formal aspects of the job, but also on convenience questions. His personal presence on the job made sure that his standards translated to his work crew, and together they presented a polite and professional group who I felt very happy to have around my little kids. I would unhesitatingly recommend this company! As an aside, Jodie Machen also fixed a difficult plumbing problem for us, so I suppose he would be great for other similar work as well!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

A post-drywall inspection could uncover many problems that weren’t present during the pre-drywall inspection, including insufficient insulation, missing weather stripping, improperly installed plumbing and lighting fixtures, flooring damage, drywall damage, plumbing leaks, aesthetic issues, and more. Structural problems, which are often expensive to fix and are common reasons to walk away after a home inspection, are easier to see before the drywall goes up, but a post-drywall inspection may highlight minor issues with house settling and foundation problems.

You can plaster over regular drywall, but it's essential to prepare the surface properly. Before plastering, the drywall should be clean, free of dust, and any loose or peeling paint should be removed. Applying a primer specifically designed for plastering can improve adhesion. Some professionals recommend applying a base coat of plaster or joint compound to create a better surface for the plaster to adhere to. Proper preparation ensures a smooth and durable plaster finish over regular drywall.

Very little. One inch of water can stain walls, warp wood, and create a perfect environment for mold growth. One to two inches of water can do significant damage to drywall, insulation, and electrical systems. Anything over that is considered an extensive flood, often resulting in severe structural damage.

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.

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.
