"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, it is possible to rewire a house without removing the drywall, but this doesn’t work in all homes. You can pull out old wires and insert new ones if you have access to the wiring system via the ceiling or through a crawl space. Some pros can also use a magnetic kit to fish the old wire out of the wall through a hole cavity and install the new wires. Just keep in mind that doing this is less stable than removing drywall, as you won’t be able to staple the wires into the framing.

When used correctly, drywall patch kits can work well. However, there are limitations. Specifically, these kits can only cover holes up to 5 inches in diameter. For anything larger than that, you’ll need to cut out the affected section of drywall and replace it with a new piece. That’s a far more complicated process that involves buying the right type of drywall, finding the wall studs, cutting into your wall, and screwing the replacement drywall in place.

Plaster can be a difficult DIY to master, especially if you plan to plaster an entire room, rather than patch a small area. Before you begin a plaster DIY project, you need to know which tools and type of plaster to use. It's also important to know how to prepare the surface and apply the plaster for a smooth finish. If that all sounds like a lot of work, you may prefer hiring a local plaster repair contractor to do the job.

You can paint over plaster, but repair any damage to the plaster first, or the paint will crack and bubble. You should also prepare the surface of the plaster to accept paint, which gives your paint job the best chance of looking good and lasting a long time. Before applying the color you want, apply a coat or two of primer. Additionally, use latex paint, and choose a latex paint with a satin finish for areas with dampness, like bathrooms.

There are several benefits to wet-sanding drywall, but the main perk is that it produces far less dust than dry-sanding. As a result, wet-sanding poses fewer health risks and makes less of a mess in your home. Plus, damp sponges are less abrasive than sandpaper, so there’s a smaller chance of scratching or damaging the drywall paper. Wet-sanding also creates a smoother finish than dry-sanding.
