"I bought a Angie's List deal of Handyman Service for $79.  I will say up front that this was worth the money, although if I had been paying full price I might not say that.
I bought the deal and tried to schedule the service for April 7-9, but the first he had available at first was in early May.  Luckily, John had something come open April 23 at 10.  In the back and forth with respect to scheduling, John was prompt in getting back to me.
On April 23, he did not show up at 10.  I realize that workmen frequently have little control over their time when they are on a job. When things go wrong which turn a 20 minute job into 2 hours, they cannot simply leave because the time is up, so I understand tardiness due to those kinds of situations.  By 11:30, I just wanted to get an ETA, so I called him.  I live northeast of Plano in Wylie, in Collin County.  He was half way to Waco.  He had my address and zip code, so I don't know where the confusion arose, although at that time Google Maps was having a problem finding my exact address. He had to turn around and drive in the opposite direction from which he had set out that morning.  It was almost 1 pm before he showed up.  It was not his fault that Google Maps couldn't tell him where to go, but I feel that he should have called me for directions when there was a question.  That is why I rated punctuality as D.
When he arrived, I explained that the first thing that we wanted was drywall repair.  We had a hole where an electric box had been, as well as 3 small cracks above a window and a doorway that appeared the summer we had the 42 days of 100+ heat.  Those areas also needed to be textured, as well as an area about 2&1/2 feet in diameter which had already been repaired.
At that point, he asked where the materials were, because according to the terms of the deal we had to provide our own materials.  I hadn't realized that--I am accustomed to workmen having the materials and charging me for them.  I thought that I had some drywall repair in the garage, but I didn't.  I didn't have the texture for sure.  It was my fault for not reading all of the details, but it might have been nice had he mentioned it when the final date for the work was confirmed.
So, while my husband ran out to Home Depot, with a shopping list, John started by doing some caulking in my bathroom (which I did have the materials for).  When my husband returned, John patched the areas that needed patching, and then finished the caulking as well as doing a couple of other small jobs (I forget what) while the drywall repair dried.
Even though it should have set in 20 minutes, it was still very wet after 45 minutes, and could not be textured.  We asked if he could come back to finish the texturing and we would pay him for the extra time at normal rates.  He agreed.
When I contacted him around June 25 to find out when he could return to do the texturing, he indicated that he could come back May 5, after we wanted to get our house on the market.  I scheduled it, but my realtor called in a favor, so on June 26, I cancelled the May 5 appointment.   (In the end, we got a guy that does dry wall repair exclusively to texture, and he brought in a machine.  It was done before May 1, and the job that he is probably better than anything that could be accomplished with canned texture.)  
We did get the 2 hours of work that we paid for.  John was pleasant enough, but I think I would try someone else before I used him again.  (Although he does know how to get to my house now.)  If I had been given a choice of "Might use again," (rather than a Yes or No to the question would you use him again?), I would have chosen that.

"Well, the first time the replacement was ordered it was the wrong one, which of course, delayed the installation a week. When it was finally installed I had to pay an additional $850 for code upgrades. This I was not informed of by Home Shield. Then we noticed that there was water on the garage floor and found that the pipe coming in from the wall was leaking at the wall so had to call the plumbing company back out to fix it. They first tried to say it was not their fault but since there wasn't a leak before they installed they did fix it. I have used Home Shield a few times before and never had a problem. Some of the companies they use are not the best so you have to research them before you commit. I have found HS service to be good if you do your homework. At the end of the day I was without hot water for almost 3 weeks but it was do to the plumbing company they sent out."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

The cost to skim coat drywall is $1.15 to $1.35 per square foot. Most of the cost is labor, for the necessary skills to apply the skim coat with precision using high-quality tools. This is a job better left to the professionals for the best outcomes.

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.

Depending on the place where the cutting error occurred, you may be able to fix it. Learning how to patch a hole in drywall is challenging, but if you can tape and mud drywall, you can do it. Having said that, patching is time consuming. Early in the installation process, you may find that it’s easier and far less time consuming to just start over with a new sheet of drywall, cutting a new hole in the right spot. You may be able to use part of the incorrectly cut piece elsewhere, so it’s not completely wasted.

If you only have tiny holes in your drywall (for example, dents or nail marks), you probably won’t need a patch kit. Instead, you can plug the hole with a small amount of spackle. Once the spackle dries, you can sand the area and paint over it—just like you would in the steps outlined above.

Certain drywall textures, like sand and sometimes popcorn, can be smoothed by applying skim coats, sanding the walls, or chipping away the texture. However, it’s worth considering removing the texture and starting with a blank canvas. Smoothing textured walls requires a lot of sandpaper and elbow grease and can take longer than just outright removing the texture.
