"I had a water leak in our church’s lower women’s bathroom, and once the area was repaired and dried, Davis and his crewtook care of the drywall, painting, and rubber base installation so we could be ready for services. Davis answered my call right away and immediately started making plans to get everything back to normal. He and his crew were respectful, courteous, and kept the work area clean, even while working in a busy place. I really appreciate the quality of their work and would definitely recommend them."
"Rick and his crew were great. They showed up earlier than expected, which I really appreciate. The whole job was on time and under budget. I plan to hire him again with another drywall job."
"This is a great company that I will definitely hire again! I had a list of random small and one large projects I wanted to get done around my home and Scott happily checked them off for me. Including taking down a large tree in my front yard, adding new bathroom window trim, installing recessed kitchen lighting, plumbing water to the refrigerator, and a complete over-haul to turn my standard garage into a fun extended living space. Garage included insulation and drywalling the attic area and the walls, and a new concrete floor. The only thing Scott didn't do was replace the garage doors. But he advised and talked with the installers I hired for that work. Scott was great at going through each project, asking and listening to what I wanted, and then describing what each project would entail and the plan to complete each one. Darkstar Construction is an incredible company and Scott is very easy going and a delight to work with! I highly recommend them to anyone needing literally anything done around their home or yard!"
"My project was finishing out a former shower stall into a future storage space. This entailed mud and tape to the sheetrock to a “ready to paint” status and lay new engineered tile flooring over the subfloor. Prior to hiring Torin, he was shown the space and what was needed in order to provide an estimate. The estimate met my needs and budget. He was always a couple minutes early, was genuinely friendly and professional. Each day he started by insuring his work area protected non-workareas from spills or other damage. His work was top-notch, and since the work took several days he made sure he always left with his areas cleaner than before. If I could give him 6 stars, I would. We are already in discussion about finishing this new space into a shelved storage area for the bathroom."

"Despite small scope of job, the company was able to respond quickly to fit into our schedule in remodeling our master bath.

"Mike was awesome! He was very helpful and knowledgeable with my project overall. I had some lighting installed and needed drywall repair.

"Pro Innovations did an absolutely fantastic job at my house! They were immensely professional about checking every decision with the drywall, as well as having a quick start time. They also worked with me to fit within my budget for the job, which was an additional benefit to see a company like this work in collaboration with their clients to help them out.

"Lee installed drywall in an external shed and did an excptional job. He is professional, easy to wok with, and completed the work when he promised. His drywall work is the best I have personally seen and is better than in my house. He obviously is skilled in his trade and does the best possible job. I had some difficult small windows that he made look great. I would highly recommend him for any drywall work."
There are several things you should not do when installing drywall. Common mistakes include: adding too many screws, over-sanding, not adding backing support, and installing drywall unevenly. You also should avoid screwing into the same place twice, installing Sheetrock with tapered edges on the outside, and making too many joints.
If your home’s foundation shifts slightly over time, any seams in the drywall represent the weakest point in the wall, leading to cracks. If your home has significant changes in temperature and humidity, this can cause the drywall to swell and contract slightly, causing a crack at the weak point of the seam. If your drywall installer did a poor job securing the panels to the wall studs, this could cause a weak layout and cracks in the seams.
Beadboard is a decorative element and lacks the structural integrity of drywall. It cannot hold much weight and is not meant to be used as an insulator or moisture barrier, like drywall is. In almost all cases, beadboard is placed over an existing wall surface which, in modern days, is usually drywall, but decades ago could have been wood paneling.
Some textures are easier than others to DIY, but the short answer is yes, you can absolutely texture walls yourself. You’ll need certain materials, like a trowel or paint sprayer, but the most important things you’ll need are patience and time. DIYing wall texture can save money and be a fun, messy project, but homeowners need to know that adding texture to a wall isn’t a quick project.
The short answer is yes, a sagging plaster ceiling is dangerous. Sagging plaster on a wall is something you should fix immediately, but it isn’t a major concern. If the same type of sagging occurs on a ceiling, however, you could be in danger of your ceiling falling in large chunks. When plaster sags, it loses its strength and ability to hold itself up. The bonds that hold it together are strong, though, so if a sagging area falls, it will take large pieces down with it.
