Q: What is the difference between plastering and skimming?

• <div><p>Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture&mdash;typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water&mdash;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.</p></div>

Q: How do you cut drywall without making dust?

• <div><p>There is no way to cut drywall without making dust, but you can reduce the amount of dust and especially the dangerous airborne particles by using manual cutting tools. Using a utility knife to score and snap your drywall will minimize dust production, and a jab saw for cutting cutouts for boxes and fixtures will generate almost no airborne dust. Even if you use these methods, you should still wear a respirator and safety goggles to avoid damage to your lungs and eyes.</p></div>

Q: When is it necessary to use a drywall anchor?

• <div><p>Whether you need a drywall anchor depends on the specifics of your project, particularly what you're hanging and where. You do not need a drywall anchor if you can screw or nail the object directly into a wooden stud, as the wood provides sufficient support and stability. However, if there are no studs in the location where you plan to hang the item, you should use drywall anchors to ensure it is securely supported. For very lightweight objects, like small pictures, adhesive picture hanging strips can be a suitable alternative to anchors.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if I have plaster walls?

• <div><p>If your home was built before the 1940s and was not remodeled in the past 50 or so years, you probably have plaster walls. Aside from assuming, there are some <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-tell-drywall-vs-plaster.htm">practical ways to tell if you have plaster walls</a>, including the following: If you knock on the wall and it feels solid, not hollow, if you can&rsquo;t insert a thumbtack easily, if there are cracks that look like spiderwebs, or if your home has curved, arched, or swirled walls, doorways, or window openings.</p><p>If you have an unfinished basement or attic, you could examine the backs of any finished walls to check, too.</p></div>

Q: What’s the easiest way to cut holes for electrical boxes in drywall?

• <div><p>The easiest way to cut holes in drywall for electrical boxes is to use a spiral saw with a drywall router bit. Hang the drywall without cutting out a hole for the box, but make sure you measure and mark where the box is located on the wall. Once you screw in the drywall sheet, drill a small hole into the box void, insert the spiral saw bit, and move it around the edge of the box using the inside wall as a guide. You can also use an oscillating multi-tool with an electrical box cutout for fast, professional results.</p></div>

"Our project to insulate our home turned out to be the best investment and most pleasant home project. It has been 3 months since the project and we have reduced our electric bill more than 50%. Jesse with Weatherization Experts explained insulation, the project and gave us a quote. He made sure the project went perfectly and the crew was amazing. They did a great job but were very kind, respectful and paid attention to keep the property clean and not track anything through the house. I honestly cannot say enough good things about this company. They are top notch and we will be contacting them in the future for all of our home weatherization needs."

"They removed the old blown-in insulation in attic. I had a huge amount of it and it had been seeping into the house through cracks, old intake holes in ceiling, etc. causing me a lot of health issues. They went above and beyond to get the job done. What was assumed to be a two day job turned into three but they were very professional, polite and accommodating. They sealed around all openings in attic after removal. I would hire them again.
