"Nothing but great things to say about their work. They have done work in two of our houses and always extremely professional and great results. On our first house Rocael completely remodeled our 1950's bathroom and did great tile work. On our second house he added a small deck for our grill which looks great and a fence/gate. He also remodeled our entire basement. Installing new drywall and insulation, new exterior/interior doors, new bathroom remodel (with excellent tile work) - Did duct work, and demo entire existing plaster ceiling and replaced it with drywall and added can lights. Created a nook under the stairs with great wood work, and also a great paint job throughout. Rocael also will make sure you are happy with the work he's done, and would make any adjustments if needed."

"Bledar and Vasil did a fantastic job on our home! Initially, we had issues with some rotted wood on an exterior door, but we also had some concerns with our home's exterior. Bledar and Vasil came over and gave us a comprehensive explanation of what needed to be repaired on our house. More importantly, they told us honestly what could wait. We were on a budget, so having someone be so candid was very refreshing. Even more helpful was that Balteza was willing to agree to convenient financing terms that allowed us to repair some very serious issues on our home within our budget and on a timeline that worked best for our family. In terms of the work itself, we were blown away by how amazing our home looked once Balteza's projects were complete. They painted our entire home, all the trim, made extensive repairs to damaged areas on the exterior of our home, and completely rebuilt our front and side stoops with beautiful stone. We couldn't be happier with how things turned out from beginning to end! Bledar and Vasil were super approachable with questions and were always willing to text or call to explain their work. Bledar even lent me yard equipment to do some landscaping that I'd been putting off. Overall, we were incredibly pleased with their work and absolutely recommend them for any home project!"

"I highly recommend Alex and his team. I hired them for my downstairs remodel for drywall, carpentry, tile work, doors, floors and trim. Numerous times they went above and beyond to help me with just little things like patching the drywall around plugs when there were gaps. I found him to be very fair and honest. I gave them the access code and they showed up and cleaned up as well. He also had great communication about when he would or would not be there. I will be hiring him for the remaining work on my home!"

"I had a burst pipe on Christmas Day. Mark was able to come out and assess the damage and walked me through what he and his crew were going to be able to do starting that upcoming Tuesday. I will say that everyone that works for Mark is professional and they are very careful about cleanup and making sure that nothing gets damaged. My latest project included: water and mold remediation, new pipes, new outside spigots, new drywall, baseboard, crown molding, and painting. Mark's crew put all of my furniture back where it was and then even hung back up my curtains."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Although they have similar applications, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Their primary differences lie in their composition, consistency, and ideal use cases.

Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it thicker than joint compound. It dries quickly and is easy to sand, which makes it ideal for small wall repair projects like filling nail holes or patching minor damage.

Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum. It is primarily used for large-scale projects, such as taping and finishing the seams on newly installed drywall. It tends to shrink more than spackle and can be more difficult to spread.

While both products can be used to fill small depressions and cracks, spackle cannot replace joint compound for taping and mudding new drywall. Conversely, you can often use joint compound for small patching jobs typically done with spackle.

If you want to reduce sound transmission throughout your home, soundproofing drywall is a better choice than standard drywall. However, simply installing soundproofing drywall may not completely block out noise. You’ll get the best results from incorporating it into a larger soundproofing plan that includes proper insulation and framing studs.

Yes, you can speed up the time it takes for plaster to dry, but it's important to do so carefully to avoid issues like cracking or crumbling. Proper ventilation is key; open a window or use a fan to circulate air in the room. Heat can also accelerate drying, but be cautious, as too much heat can cause the plaster to dry too quickly and crack. Check the plaster's packaging for the recommended drying temperature and set the room's thermostat accordingly. While managing humidity is important, avoid using a dehumidifier, which can remove moisture too aggressively and result in crumbly plaster.

Whether you need a drywall anchor depends on the specifics of your project, particularly what you're hanging and where. You do not need a drywall anchor if you can screw or nail the object directly into a wooden stud, as the wood provides sufficient support and stability. However, if there are no studs in the location where you plan to hang the item, you should use drywall anchors to ensure it is securely supported. For very lightweight objects, like small pictures, adhesive picture hanging strips can be a suitable alternative to anchors.

You can repair plaster ceilings yourself after the cause of the ceiling damage has been addressed. However, the repair can easily take 5 hours and can be slightly challenging for those without previous experience. If you do decide to flex your DIY muscle, have a helper to help hold the ladder and pass you the tools for safety purposes.
