"Bruce and Seth did an excellent job painting my house from prep to paint to clean-up. They not only paint but do needed repairs. Most painters just want to paint and move on. Bruce gives a warranty on his work, and his price is very reasonable. I plan on hiring him to paint another house next year. I recommend Bruce W. Nichols Painting whole heartedly."

"Less than 24 hours after discovering my fence had partially fallen down after a storm it is fixed. New post installed and panel boards put back up securely. Very prompt and professional team, thank you so much! To go from call to estimate to fixed in 8 hours? Amazing!"

"Jesse and his crew did an overall great job from start to finish - prep (all floors were covered well), work (repairing drywall to prepare for painting was A+, and they even painted some spots that I forgot), and clean up. I appreciated that Jesse asked me if I was satisfied numerous times along the way. I would hire them again!"

"The work was finished nice and very clean. The price is very competitive. Come to work onsite as planned. One thing to improve is communication. I called several times , voice message is full and can not leave message. Emails communication is fast. I had one mis communication with them on the emails for setting up work schedule. Overall I would reccomend them and satisfied with their work."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Plaster is a beautiful finish but is labor-intensive to install and remove. It’s vulnerable to cracking and more sensitive to moisture variance than drywall. Installing plaster on a new wall is an expensive process that can take days to weeks, depending on the scope. Removing a plaster wall can also be quite expensive and time-consuming.

All plaster walls will crack over time due to normal house settling and expansion and contraction from temperature and moisture changes. Small, thin hairline cracks are generally not serious and are mostly a cosmetic issue. However, larger or more significant cracks can indicate structural problems.

Here's how to tell the difference:

  • Cosmetic Cracks: Cracks that are 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) or thinner are typically cosmetic.

  • Structural Cracks: Cracks wider than 0.5 cm, excessive or deep cracks, multiple cracks in the same area, or cracks that span around corners can signify a structural or foundation issue. Cracks along the joints where walls meet the ceiling also warrant attention.

For cracks wider than 0.5 cm, structural repair is needed. If a crack is 2.5 cm (1 inch) or wider, or if you notice any signs of a structural problem, it is best to contact a plaster repair professional to assess the damage.

When you are learning how to tape and mud drywall, waiting for things to dry requires a lot of patience. So how long does drywall mud take to dry? On average, it takes about 24 hours. However, it depends on things like the thickness of the mud, as well as the room’s temperature, humidity, and ventilation. Using thin layers of mud in a warm, low-humidity room with good airflow reduces average drying time. You also could speed up drying time by making use of hot drywall mud, which consists of a powder that you mix with water, instead of using pre-mixed mud. 

If you’re installing new drywall, you may need to skim coat the drywall first for a smooth finish and to allow the primer to adhere to the wall. It’s only necessary if there are imperfections in your drywall due to issues with the studs or improper drywall installation. If you’re refreshing existing walls, you may want to skim coat if there are imperfections across the wall. As an alternative, you can repair your drywall and sand it for a smooth finish before painting.

Yes, you can hammer a nail into a wall stud. But before you do, it’s important to confirm that you’re actually nailing into a stud—and not wiring, pipes, or ductwork. To check, find a few more studs in the wall, then measure to make sure they’re either 16 or 24 inches apart.
