"They gave an estimate to replace the sump pump motor. The first guy who came estimated it at $875 after a coupon discount and I gave him a (check) deposit on the work. Ten minutes after he left he rang the doorbell to say that he'd talked with the owner and since I lived so far from their office (I'm in Montgomery County, MD; they're in PA) they couldn't do the job for less than $1800. I replied that if they only wanted to do local jobs then they shouldn't advertise so far from home! I declined the $1800 price. A couple of weeks later I got a call from a woman at the company saying the owner had reviewed the bid and could do the job for less than $1800. No matter how many times I asked, they wouldn't give me a price over the phone. Finally I scheduled a second estimate appointment and the new guy said they could do it for $1700. Whoo-hoo, a whole $100 savings. This new estimate included a new sump pit and a french drain, no doubt added to justify the higher price. After some misgivings I decided to go ahead and use them rather than act as my own subcontractor to hire a plumber AND a drywall person AND a mold killer. One yahoo (Tom) and another non-yahoo (name unknown) showed up to do the work. As soon as they brought in the new pit cover my forehead creased as I realized there was no way that cover was going to fit in the space (way too big). Apparently I was the only one able to come to this conclusion so quickly because an hour later yahoo Tom announced that the 18 inch pit they'd brought wouldn't fit in the space available between the furnace and the water heater. (Coulda told you that at one glance, Tom!) I suggested that perhaps other sizes of pits were available even though that was the only size Thompson carried. He squinted at me for several long seconds before concluding that I needed to talk with "the office" about that. I did, and Keith agreed that other sizes might be available. He said he'd check with my nearby Home Depot while Tom took himself off to said Home Depot to try to get the pit. He came back, announcing that Home Depot only had the same size as his, so they would just replace the motor. He didn't offer any discount considering that they weren't replacing the pit. This required another call from me to the office, where Keith announced he'd knock $100 off the price as that was the price of the pit. He didn't offer a discount off the labor, but agreed to knock an additional $100 off the job. They did a nice job on the french drain and finished more quickly than I'd expected. In his sum-up instructions, Tom told me I needed to wait a month (not a week as the salesman had said) to replace the drywall in order to allow the mold killer to "bloom". When I asked him how I'd know if the mold killer had "bloomed" Tom said "I don't know cuz I ain't never seen that." Wow, that was helpful. If I'd known I'd have to wait a month to replace the drywall and more importantly re-hook up the washer and dryer I'd no doubt have made other laundry decisions pre-job. Three weeks post-repair, with no sign of anything resembling "blooming' in the treated area, I called the company and eventually spoke to Keith, who said he didn't know what Tom was talking about and that it would have been safe to replace the drywall after a week. BOTTOM LINE: unless you have a major waterproofing job to be done, avoid this company. The second estimator pointed out to me that their job minimum is $2500, so they were clearly stooping (my phrasing) to do my job."

"Rob and his assistant were friendly, hardworking, and competent. I was extremely pleased with the doorway that they installed from our garage into our entry way. For some reason, the previous homeowners had made the entry from the garage into the house to go through a tiny bathroom. So, we had Rob wall in the existing door in the bathroom and cut a new entrance at a more appropriate location. The new door looks fantastic and was installed very well. Cutting the new door opening required rerouting some wiring which Rob was competent to handle. He also added insullation into the wall wherever he pulled off paneling, so overall there was much improvement to the room. He drywalled the new wall in the bathroom / garage and I was pleased with the result. I was less pleased with the paneling that was reinstalled on the interior of our entryway. This is partially my fault as I purchased too-cheap paneling. However, I would have appreciated being better advised by Rob on the matter ahead of time. Furthermore, he did not glue it down and the paneling bubbled up after it was painted. Furthermore, along one edge it was installed with no backing stud - leaving a very large gap along that edge. In defense of Picture Perfect, When I called Rob he offered to come back up and fix it. At that time I thought it would be more trouble than it was worth, but in hindsight, I should have had him come back out. I think he should have foreseen that the cheap paneling would buckle, and definitely should have added some sort of backing along the one edge. Overall, I would recommend Picture Perfect for basic home repair and remodeling at a good price. He is very friendly and eager to please the customer. He even lent me his power-washer for several weeks at no cost. "
Depending on how much adhesive was used as well as the strength of the adhesive, you may have some drywall damage when removing a mirror. You can typically repair most drywall damage if it’s small by sanding the damaged area, applying spackle to smooth the damaged section so it’s flush with the rest of the wall, and repainting the area.
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.
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.
If you’re looking for a reliable plaster repair company, you should start by researching local companies in your area and reviewing their status with the Better Business Bureau. Next, you can contact the potential companies to ask about experience levels, get a list of references, and ask for examples of past work. If you have a textured wall, consider asking if they have examples or references for that particular texture. This method should help you narrow your search even further. You may also want to ask each company if they provide a warranty for their work.
All plaster walls will crack over time due to normal house settling and expansion and contraction from temperature and moisture changes. Small, thin hairline cracks are generally not serious and are mostly a cosmetic issue. However, larger or more significant cracks can indicate structural problems.
Here's how to tell the difference:
Cosmetic Cracks: Cracks that are 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) or thinner are typically cosmetic.
Structural Cracks: Cracks wider than 0.5 cm, excessive or deep cracks, multiple cracks in the same area, or cracks that span around corners can signify a structural or foundation issue. Cracks along the joints where walls meet the ceiling also warrant attention.
For cracks wider than 0.5 cm, structural repair is needed. If a crack is 2.5 cm (1 inch) or wider, or if you notice any signs of a structural problem, it is best to contact a plaster repair professional to assess the damage.
