"Pro is an important part of their name, and they live it! Protech Environmental is a top notch contractor. We hired them to safely remove vinyl flooring that contained asbestos, after we found them on the WA state Labor & Industries Certified Contractors List. Use this list in combination with Angi before you have any asbestos remediation done. Protech's bid was the lowest bid we received, but that was not the only reason we chose them. Each time we contacted them, they responded within a few hours. We sent Protech and the other bidders questions about their plans for the job, including their workers' vaccination status (they are all vaccinated), how long the work would take, and other things. They responded promptly and completely, and came to the house in advance of the work to make sure they knew exactly what we needed. On the day of the job, they called us several hours before they were to begin, to tell us they had to deal with an equipment problem and would be here about an hour late. They weren't that late, only about 40 minutes. Once they began, they worked efficiently, finishing the work in less time than expected. An important part of asbestos abatement is the clean up at the end of the project, and they did a wonderful job. They did a great job of removing their barriers with only a few spots where their tape took small amounts of paint from the walls. Any staples were removed and the woodwork was not harmed. We are very pleased with Protech's work. We will recommend them to anyone we know and the next time we need a contractor we will look at them first to see if they offer the services we need."

"They seem to know what they’re doing and they are just straight up about things.  We are gathering information to provide them like cabinet sizes and countertop material.  They can’t submit the bid until we have all that other stuff gathered up and we can tell them what they want in the way of appliances, countertops, and cabinets."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

The easiest way to cut holes in drywall for electrical boxes is to use a spiral saw with a drywall router bit. Hang the drywall without cutting out a hole for the box, but make sure you measure and mark where the box is located on the wall. Once you screw in the drywall sheet, drill a small hole into the box void, insert the spiral saw bit, and move it around the edge of the box using the inside wall as a guide. You can also use an oscillating multi-tool with an electrical box cutout for fast, professional results.

The age of your home can clue you in to whether you have plaster or drywall ceilings. Homes built after the ‘70s are more likely to have drywall ceilings and walls, while older homes have plaster. You can also do the pushpin test: A pushpin will go into drywall, whereas it’s much harder to push one into a plaster wall. If you’re still unsure, ask a drywall professional to let you know which type of ceilings and walls you have.

Depending on the place where the cutting error occurred, you may be able to fix it. Learning how to patch a hole in drywall is challenging, but if you can tape and mud drywall, you can do it. Having said that, patching is time consuming. Early in the installation process, you may find that it’s easier and far less time consuming to just start over with a new sheet of drywall, cutting a new hole in the right spot. You may be able to use part of the incorrectly cut piece elsewhere, so it’s not completely wasted.

A utility knife is sharp enough to score the drywall and it may work in a pinch for outlet box holes. However, one of the best tools for drywall when you need to make exact cuts for an outlet box quickly is a drywall saw. This handheld tool has a longer blade than a utility knife, so it penetrates the thickness of the drywall easily. The design of its handle and the teeth in its blade make it easier to control while cutting quicker than you can with a utility knife.

There are several benefits to wet-sanding drywall, but the main perk is that it produces far less dust than dry-sanding. As a result, wet-sanding poses fewer health risks and makes less of a mess in your home. Plus, damp sponges are less abrasive than sandpaper, so there’s a smaller chance of scratching or damaging the drywall paper. Wet-sanding also creates a smoother finish than dry-sanding.
