"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."

"Had to file a claim for new clothes dryer, and repairs on fridge. Foothills Star Appliance came to look at both. Eric was the repairman. He was friendly, answered all my questions, and very professional. I would highly recommend his company."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

On average, drywall installation costs around $2,000, with a typical range of $400 to $6,000, including materials and labor. The final price depends on several factors. The most significant is the size of the area, as many contractors charge per square foot. Other cost factors include the complexity of the job (e.g., cutting around multiple windows and doors, corners, or curved walls), accessibility, location, the thickness of the drywall, the height of the room, and the desired level of finish. The level of finish can range from simply hanging the drywall to taping and mudding the seams and painting the walls.

Technically speaking, you can use drywall primer over plasters. However, oil-based primers work the most effectively on wall plasters. Meanwhile, water-based primers work just as well with drywalls. Nowadays, there are also universal primers suitable for drywall and plaster. Overall, you will be fine as long as you are using a trustworthy brand.

With its breathability and flexibility, lime plaster is among the most durable of all plaster types. It's also fire-resistant and has a proven track record, as people have been using it for thousands of years.

However, all plaster types will last for many years with the right care and treatment. Proper preparation and installation will also help ensure your plaster walls look great for as long as possible.

Plaster itself has a higher R-value than drywall. However, there are other considerations surrounding plaster and insulation. As a general rule, it's easier to obtain consistency in insulating value and quality when working with drywall rather than plaster. Plaster walls often don't contain any insulation behind the wall covering by design, and careful evaluation is necessary when choosing to add it.

A jigsaw is commonly used to cut holes in drywall. It offers versatility and precision, making it suitable for creating circular or irregular openings. When equipped with the right blade, a jigsaw can swiftly and cleanly cut through drywall, making it a good choice for DIY projects.
