"?????
Excellent drywall installation and finishing! The work was done professionally and the results came out flawless. The walls and ceilings look smooth and perfectly finished, ready for paint. The crew was on time, respectful, and kept the area clean while they worked.
You can really tell they take pride in their craftsmanship. I?m extremely happy with how everything turned out and would highly recommend them to anyone needing drywall installed or finished."
"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."

You should always hang drywall from the top down. Starting at the top makes it easier to create a straight, tight line between the ceiling and the wall. Any gaps that occur will be at the bottom, where they are easier to manage. You can either cut the bottom piece of drywall to fit the remaining space or cover the gap with baseboard trim. Additionally, starting at the top is physically easier, as you won't have to fit the top sheet into a tight space between the lower sheet and the ceiling, or try to balance the upper sheets on the lower ones while securing them.
If you already have plaster walls and ceilings, adding new plaster costs $2 to $10 per square foot. For an average-sized room, that would come out to $1,200 to $10,000. However, the cost to replace plaster with drywall is higher—running between $720 and $1,250 for a 10-by-8-foot wall or ceiling (not including drywall finishing).
Yes, you can use drywall repair techniques for some types of plaster damage. Tiny holes and small cracks in plaster can be patched in similar ways to drywall. You apply the necessary compound to fill the hole, wait for it to dry, then sand it down. For larger damage, like water damage or mold, you need to use plaster-specific techniques and materials.
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.
White walls are the toughest color to keep clean and maintain, as they’re extremely unforgiving when it comes to dirt, splatters, dust, and smudges. Still, many people look past their high-maintenance requirements because they lighten and modernize a space beautifully. If you’re opting for white walls, it’s especially important to keep up with regular cleanings, so they stay pristine.
