"Cougar Development did an excellent job creating a living space out of an addition to a home built in 1918. The drywall work was excellent as was the placing of needed electrical outlets and ceiling fan/lighting. Closet space is extremely hard to come by in our neighborhood and Cougar was able to build a 30 sq ft closet that our growing family is able to take advantage of. This room was just a storage space and is now a usable living area after Cougar was done with it. The quality of work for the price I paid was amazing! I have already recommended Cougar to those in my neighborhood and will continue to do so!"
"Exceptional service! We originally called Steve to ask if he could tell us if a certain wall was load bearing, as we'd never had to make that determination before, and didn't want to risk making a mistake if we took on the project ourselves. He said he could, and we arranged a time for him to come to our house. He was prompt, friendly, and professional, and he took a look at the wall (plus another one that we were also considering removing), and let us know that one was safe to remove, while the other wasn't. We thanked him, and asked how much we owed him for his expert advice. He said that we didn't owe him anything. Since that was the only reason he'd come to our house, we were really amazed. Out of curiosity, we asked him how much he would charge to take down the wall and get it ready for paint. He said he'd put together a quote and let us know. We heard back from him the same day with a quote of $1200, and said it would probably take a couple of days to complete the project. We asked if he had a military discount, and he said he'd see what he could do. We heard back from him very quickly, and he said he could give us a military rate of $1100. We decided we were better off hiring him than doing the work ourselves, and made arrangements for him to come out in a week, when he had free space in his schedule. However, a couple of days later, he called and said that upcoming rain had delayed another project, and he asked if we'd like him to come out earlier. We said that would be great, and set up a time. He arrived promptly on time, did the work quickly, kept our home as clean as possible during the project, and cleaned up after himself when he left. He worked essentially 2 1/2 full days, then came back in the evening on a 3rd day to finish sanding after the mud on the drywall was dry. His work and professionalism were exceptional. We also asked him to take a look at an outdoor faucet, which he took apart and then explained which piece was broken and needed replaced. He was willing to do the work, but explained how we could do it ourselves. Because he didn't actually repair the faucet, he again refused to charge us for his advice. The same was true for a couple of other issues in the house--he evaluated them, and told us how to fix them, then refused payment for the advice. He was certainly willing to do the work; he just wasn't going to act like it was something that wasn't simple for us to do on our own. We would absolutely hire him again. He was prompt, honest, set a fair price, and did great work. He was also an absolute pleasure to do business with. "
"I hired South Virginia Drywall for my uncle who is elderly and they came out and did a wonderful job . They were the best and I would recommend them to everyone."
Brick and stucco are a lot more different. You must use picture hanging clips designed for brick walls, or use a plaster rail system with adjustable hooks. Any other type of hanging hardware will cause damage to the bricks behind. You won’t be able to really use nails, either, because they’re not strong enough to go into the bricks.
The cost to texture drywall depends on whether you want to do the work yourself or hire a professional. The cost of the drywall mud is far lower than labor costs for applying it. The labor cost to spray drywall compound onto a wall is between $0.80 and $1.50 per square foot, while you’ll pay between $1.50 and $2 per square foot for the labor to apply the texture by hand.
Yes, applying a texture can hide minor imperfections and irregularities in drywall, but it will not cover significant damage like nail marks or screw holes. The best texture depends on the size of the flaws. For minor imperfections, popular choices like orange peel, sand, or popcorn texture are effective. For larger imperfections, you may need a more prominent style, such as a knockdown or trowel finish, to conceal them effectively.
A common cause of separation between a wall and the ceiling is truss lift—this can happen to the ceiling of rooms directly under the attic when the seasons change and wood building materials dry out, shrink, and shift. Roof trusses often dry out at different speeds, and if the bottom pieces dry out faster than the top pieces, they can shrink and pull the attached drywall away from ceilings and walls, causing cracks. Fortunately, truss lift is only a cosmetic problem, not a structural problem, and you can fix it by separating the ceiling drywall from the roof trusses, and patching the cracks.
Whether you need drywall anchors depends on your specific project, particularly where you are hanging an item. Drywall anchors are not necessary if you can drive a screw directly into a wooden stud behind the wall, as the stud provides sufficient support. However, since studs are not present everywhere in a wall, you will need to use drywall anchors if you are hanging an object in a location without a stud. For very lightweight items, picture hanging strips can also be a suitable alternative.
