I was, at first, less than impressed with Terra. The A/C unit they had quoted in the estimate was "unavailable" for at least a month. Terra tried to sell me a brand of A/C I'd never heard of at the same price as the Rudd they'd quoted me. I informed them that this was a bait and switch and I wouldn't put up with it. Terra came back with a proposal for a slightly larger Rudd brand unit that they had on hand for a greater cost. I agreed and work started within the week on installation. Terra got both units totally installed and working in only two days. This pleased me. Two workmen were present, both spoke English, but one spoke it much more fluently than the other. I was asked for input several times, which made me very happy as I was able to get one of the fan coils rotated so that pipes wouldn't be in a walkway. I was not at all pleased that the new, larger, Rudd fan coil unit did not fit on the preexisting cement pad. Terra offered no help in pouring or adjusting the cement pad. In fact, the installer was perfectly willing to let it dangle in space by four inches. When I said that was unacceptable we both went looking for a base. We found a cement block which the technician jammed under the edge of the unit. The unit was now uneven by over an inch. The technician was fine with this, which was SERIOUSLY unprofessional. I may not know much about A/C units, but I strongly suspect they ought to be level. I finally (temporarily) solved the problem by using scrap wood to brace up the side to the correct height. Terra said that when I get around to expanding the cement base they'd lift the unit, not move it so I can re-pour the entire base, mind, but lift it temporarily. Also, one of the technicians built an air return over a hole in the drywall. No patching, no coming to get me so that I could patch it myself, he just built the return. He didn't seem to see any problem with air rushing into the inside of the walls. He said, "You were supposed to handle dry wall." Yeah. Very typical craftsmanship for South Texas. This is why I am not rating them higher. They did what they said they would do and not a single bit more. In conclusion, I would recommend them, but only if you are willing to stand there and WATCH them work. They cannot be trusted to do a quality job unsupervised. However, if you are physically present and know what the work OUGHT to look like so you can correct mistakes, Terra is a good company.

The crew that did the actual A/C unit install went as far as inspecting the new units I had purchased online for damage from shipping. To me this is above and beyond and is indicative of folks who really care. The same crew actually READ the A/C unit installation directions and FOLLOWED them to a and quot;Tand quot;. Let me begin this next paragraph and talk about the after work clean up. It was as if they were never there. I even joked with the crew about their prep work, stating it looked like a clean room you'd see in the computer or hospital industry. No kidding folks it was as if they were never there.
In closing, the estimator was on time, polite and very knowledgable. If something changed the estimate, he explained it and put it all in writing.

I just acquired two 500 sq. ft. apts. They needed new A/C systems. I'd had about 5 different estimates done and, due to some tricky duct work, most of them recommended re-ducting the apartments or knocking holes in the (brick) walls so that a different style of unit could be installed. The...

Drywall questions, answered by experts
You can drywall over plaster, but there are some things to consider. First, installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall’s thickness. This could create challenges for window and door frames that no longer fit the wall’s thickness. You may also have to adjust power outlets so they are accessible. When done right, drywall can create a smooth, flat appearance, but it’s best when handled by professionals.
While you can put new drywall over old drywall, it’s not always the best option. In some cases, drywalling over drywall can make it harder to find wires and pipes behind your walls and conceal more serious problems with your walls. It can also make the room smaller. On the plus side, putting drywall over drywall can improve soundproofing and insulation. Plus, it’s often less expensive than tearing down and adding new drywall.
A nail in drywall cannot hold very much—usually only a few pounds. A nail in a stud can add support and hold around 20 pounds. If you are trying to hang something heavier, get some help from drywall anchors—toggle bolts are very strong and able to withstand more weight.
Mudding drywall is a DIY-friendly project, but patience and practice are required for perfection. If you’re working in a highly visible area and want the best possible finish, hiring a professional drywaller is worth the cost. Pros have the tools and know-how to ensure a smooth surface with fewer sanding sessions and less cleanup.
Here’s another instance of where the answer is you could, but that doesn’t mean you should. Yes, part of the issue is getting the drywall to stay in place on the tiles, and it’s understandable that screws will crack the tiles and cause them to crumble. That’s why it’s a much better idea to screw drywall into studs, not your porcelain or ceramic tile. But aside from issues with attaching the drywall, it’s also about ensuring a smooth application without trapping moisture inside.
