"We wanted a handyman to seal the soffit and other places around the roof line to keep pests out. Secondly, we wanted to see about repairing some mortar cracks in the brick facade. They kept pushing the time out to come out for estimate until I could not be home. They said they could give a quote without seeing me since it was all exterior work. The first time they were supposed to come out, they did not come. The next time, the quote over the phone was given as $99 for the first hour and $75 each hour afterwards. Estimated 1.5-2 hours/ Plus $45 in materials =$219. Was told the estimator was really good, and I should not have to pay for more time than estimated. I also asked about taking a check since they were doing a by the hour rate. I was pretty sure she said that would be okay. Next, I got a written estimate for same rate, but now 3 hours of work and $50 of supplies =$299. When asked about this, was told it was 1.5 hours for the soffit work and 1.5 for the mortar/brick work. Okay... The handyman showed up and talked to my husband and myself. Now the price is $600 and he needs half in cash before he can start. He used spray foam to fill the holes and reattach the soffit. It made a big mess. A piece of trim fell off the house and broke. He told us that if my husband could glue it back together, he would come back and put it up on Tuesday. We asked about cleaning up the mess, and he said he would do that Tuesday also. He wanted the rest of the money. Tuesday came and went. I called and was told he told us Wednesday. Wednesday night I received a call to say he would be by Thursday. Thursday, he came back with some more people. He had them start cutting the foam that was sticking out away. Then he says, that is putting holes in it and it would defeat the purpose. We should paint over it instead. Asked if he was going to paint over it, and he said he did not want to. Told me he could not put the trim back up because it might fall back off and hurt someone. He finished cutting off foam from front side of house and cleaned it off the driveway and windows it had dripped on. Scraped it off brick on side, leaving big scratches all over the brick. The front has parts that look like snail slime where he cleaned it with Acetone? In the back and sides, he just scraped it though. The brick mortar appears sealed and looks good. The main reason we had him out though looks terrible. Hopefully, where he was cutting it off in the front is still sealed."

"We hired Walls to come out and move our hot water heater that was located in our laundry area to another location in preparation of an addition to my laundry room.  In order to move the water heater an old water softener system would need to be removed and disposed of.  The work was completed in one day and everything was cleaned up very nicely when they were done.  Mark and Brian were extremely professional and friendly to work with."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Yes, a fan can help drywall mud dry faster by improving air circulation and reducing humidity in the room. Drywall mud dries through evaporation, so increasing airflow speeds up this process. However, you should position the fan to blow across the room rather than directly on the wet mud. This helps prevent drying too quickly, which can cause cracking. You should also use a dehumidifier if high humidity is an issue.

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.

There are six levels of drywall finish, from 0 to 5, that refer to the amount of work performed during the finishing process.

Level 0: Drywall is hung with no finishing work.

Level 1: Tape is placed over the seams between drywall sheets.

Level 2: A thin layer of mud is applied over the tape and screw holes. This level is common for utility rooms or walls that will be covered.

Level 3: A full coat of mud covers the screw holes and tape, but the surface is not sanded. This is often used in garages.

Level 4: This is the most common finish for visible interior walls. It involves applying two coats of mud over seams and screw holes, with sanding between each coat, creating a smooth surface ready for flat paint.

Level 5: This is a high-end finish for luxury homes. It includes full taping, mudding, and sanding, plus a final skim coat over the entire surface before painting.

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.

Some textures are easier than others to DIY, but the short answer is yes, you can absolutely texture walls yourself. You’ll need certain materials, like a trowel or paint sprayer, but the most important things you’ll need are patience and time. DIYing wall texture can save money and be a fun, messy project, but homeowners need to know that adding texture to a wall isn’t a quick project.
