"I needed a portion of Sheetrock replaced and finished due to having some plumbing work done. Workers were reliable and did quality work. They cleaned everything up each time that they worked. After I painted the Sheetrock, you couldn’t tell that anything had been replaced. I’m very pleased."

"Stephen and his crew essentially did a custom apartment for me, in a partially finished basement. There was a large den/family room, small 3/4 bathroom and a 9' x 7' "office" between the two. Also, there were no existing closets. In the office, there was a door that opened under the stairwell, exposing access to some of the ductwork. Well, jackhammers to the rescue, & plumbing was run from that office, into the Bath, making a small kitchen feasible. Also, to fit cabinets in there, the office wall was moved 6", into the den area & I've got a very practical, albeit small kitchen. The shower was rather small, but the crew was able to extend it by one foot, due to lost space in the garage side, & a corner bench was installed & both it and the shower head are custom heights for me. On the den side (my l.r./bedroom), under the stairs, are 3 pull out closets, plus a cubby under the lower end, with that door on the office side, becoming my pantry! A craft Rm. was later added to garage, also."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

You can paint over plaster, but repair any damage to the plaster first, or the paint will crack and bubble. You should also prepare the surface of the plaster to accept paint, which gives your paint job the best chance of looking good and lasting a long time. Before applying the color you want, apply a coat or two of primer. Additionally, use latex paint, and choose a latex paint with a satin finish for areas with dampness, like bathrooms.

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.

While not always necessary, you can glue a drywall ceiling in addition to using screws or nails. Drywall is typically secured to ceiling joists with fasteners, which is often sufficient. However, adding construction adhesive can offer benefits like preventing sagging, bridging gaps, and reducing air leaks for better energy efficiency. It may also be used for specific acoustic or insulation needs. On the other hand, many professionals advise against it because properly placed screws make the drywall structural, glue doesn't add strength, and it makes future repairs or replacements significantly more difficult. Ultimately, it's best to follow local building codes and project-specific requirements to decide if adhesive is right for your ceiling.

Look for flaking paint or air bubbles that burst and then flake away. Paint will begin to flake after being exposed to minimal moisture or water, so it’s a good indicator of any water damage. If you notice your paint starting to flake, feel the plaster underneath to see if it is soft or damp.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.
