"This was a tricky project requiring reaching the top of the 24 foot vaulted ceiling in our den. Hector and his assistant did a very fine job. I was impressed their safe work practices and with the care they took with our home furnishings. They also cleaned up the workspace completely before leaving. I will definitely keep Hectors Handyman Service in my list of favorites."

"Very nice man! Responsive and quick! Keeps you in the loop at all times with texts and pictures. No doubt knows what he is doing. Gave me quote for one room and the whole house- hired for one room to test him out. His guys came in and 45 minutes later were done. Several problem areas and sloppy work. Took pictures and sent to him the problem areas but didn't get any feedback about the issues. I did try and give his guys an excuse by saying that with paint most would be concealed to see if this level of workmanship by his team was acceptable to him. He just said "ok". Paid him immediately because I am not interested in fighting with anymore contractors. I am competent in Sheetrock-taping- floating and texturing and was just having issues with my homes old style texture. I doctor'ed the few problem areas myself knowing that with paint the untrained eye would never be able to tell. I expected quality work the first time and am not interested in harassing a professional to come do jobs several times wasting both our time, killing their profit and making people mad- I expect it right the first time. Told him I wasn't interested in further work due to the workmanship seen and nothing more was said."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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.

You can put drywall mud over paint to even out the surface or entirely resurface it. Sand the surface with 280-grit sandpaper, vacuum the debris and dust with a shop vac, and clean it with a slightly damp cloth. Allow the surface to dry. Apply drywall primer, especially if you’re skim-coating an entire wall. Apply the right type of drywall mud over the surface and smooth it with a trowel. Allow the layer to cure fully, then sand it before applying another layer or painting it.

When choosing materials for finishing basement walls, consider factors such as moisture resistance, durability, and fire resistance. Opt for materials specifically designed for basement environments, like moisture-resistant drywall or cement board. Insulation with vapor barriers can help regulate temperature and prevent condensation. Consider using mold-resistant paints or coatings. 

Research and consult with experts to select materials that are suitable for your specific basement conditions and intended use. Prioritize quality and compatibility to achieve long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing results.

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.

A utility knife is sharp enough to score the drywall and it may work in a pinch for outlet box holes. However, one of the best tools for drywall when you need to make exact cuts for an outlet box quickly is a drywall saw. This handheld tool has a longer blade than a utility knife, so it penetrates the thickness of the drywall easily. The design of its handle and the teeth in its blade make it easier to control while cutting quicker than you can with a utility knife.
