"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

Yes, drywall can hold a 50-pound TV. However, when mounting a TV, you’ll either need to attach it to wall studs or use drywall anchors. If you use anchors, make sure to buy a type that can hold at least 50 pounds. Molly bolts, threaded anchors, and toggle bolts are all good options. For extra support, you can also install a wall mounting plate with the anchors.

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.

There are some instances when you can use extra drywall in your garden. Ideally, unused scraps of new drywall are best for amending soil without the concern of additional chemicals or mold. However, drywall with paint, mold, or potential asbestos requires specialized disposal by a professional and should be kept out of your garden.

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.

The two most common drywall thicknesses for ceilings are 1/2-inch and 5/8-inch. For most standard residential applications, 1/2-inch drywall is sufficient and widely used. It provides adequate support and is lighter and easier to handle during installation compared to thicker sheets. However, 5/8-inch drywall is often used for specific cases where additional benefits are needed. It is heavier but provides superior sound dampening and fire resistance. You should consider using 5/8-inch drywall for ceilings in commercial buildings, between a garage and a living space, or above a finished basement to meet building codes or for enhanced soundproofing.
