"They showed up on time and finished earlier than I expected.  Our house was built in 1986 with not enough power outlets in the garage.  Not even capable of installing garage door openers.  We wanted to also hook up a spare fridge and have some outlets for power tools / lawn equipment, etc.  They had to cut open some drywall to make this happen, but they were very neat about it and we will patch that on our own.  They have an outsourced service for those repairs, but we are choosing to to use it.  Everything works and looks great.  For a much lower price than another competitors quote.

"This is my second A review of Rife Remodeling. They also replaced our roof in 2016. There is no better review than a repeat customer! I immediately contacted John when we decided we wanted to fence the yard. He was quick with the estimate, but I had not expected it to be completed until warmer weather. But his crew was here in just a few days to get started. Super nice bunch who do fantastic work and clean up after themselves. Very very pleased with the fence, the price, and the crew. The dogs are loving the yard too! I will be seeing them for the next project!!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

According to the EPA, mold grows within 24 to 48 hours if left untreated after a water leak. So unless you notice the leak and stop it right away, you only have a day or so before mold is a real concern. If you don’t notice the leak, it can take about three weeks for the mold spores to become visible. That means you’ve likely had an active mold infection for a few weeks by the time you notice discoloration.

Plaster that sags or bulges, shows extensive deep cracks, or is crumbling from water damage or simply time may need replacement. Plaster walls can look a little “worn” for a long time before they need replacing. The only real way to know if it needs a replacement is to hire a professional to assess the condition of the plaster.

You can plaster over regular drywall, but it's essential to prepare the surface properly. Before plastering, the drywall should be clean, free of dust, and any loose or peeling paint should be removed. Applying a primer specifically designed for plastering can improve adhesion. Some professionals recommend applying a base coat of plaster or joint compound to create a better surface for the plaster to adhere to. Proper preparation ensures a smooth and durable plaster finish over regular drywall.

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.

Yes, it matters which side of drywall you use. One side is smooth, and the other is rough. The smooth side should be facing outward, toward the room, while the rough side should be hidden and facing the studs and framing of the house. The smooth side will be easier to apply tape, joint compound, and, later, paint to.
