"Gregorio is truly a master painter and an honorable business person. My painting job had some changes (like many do) which caused some repainting. Gregorio absorbed additional costs on my job and he offered to stick to his original approved bid. I ended up paying him more, as it was truly unusual to deal with a contractor that sticks to his word and desires for the client to be completely satisfied and happy with his work and the experience. Because of this, I ve asked Gregorio to paint my lower basement and exterior, as well. Gregorio has a long term and relationship focus. I highly recommend United Master Painting!"
"Brennan is a true pro. We contacted him on short notice to repair some drywall throughout our house and install new drywall in our bathrooms as part of a remodel. We had a narrow window to get the work done, and he fit us into his schedule and got it done on time. He did excellent quality work. His pricing is transparent and easy to understand. His communication was excellent and reliable, which was very important as we were trying to coordinate several moving pieces at once. We ended up moving the goalposts on him a couple times during the project, and he rolled with each one graciously. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing drywall work."
"We were in need of a new paint job for our house, and we could not have asked for a better experience than we had with The Right Choice!! Issac, Wilson, and Rodolfo were fast and clean, and helped along every step of the way to make sure the process was pleasant and professional. We would recommend them to anyone looking to make some upgrades to their home. We will definitely call them for our next project!"
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.
Plaster walls typically last between 30 and 70 years, but depending on the quality of the materials and the moisture levels in the building, they can last for over 100 years. With expert application and consistent maintenance, plaster can even last for centuries. To extend its lifespan, it is important to have the plaster professionally installed, address any water damage promptly, and repair small cracks as they appear. Regular inspections by a professional can help identify and address concerning cracks before they become significant issues.
The amount of drywall you need for a 1,000-square-foot basement depends on the ceiling height, angles, number of doors and windows, and more. To find the wall square footage, multiply the width and height of each wall, minus any gaps from windows or doors, and add the totals together. You’ll also need enough drywood nails or screws to install the drywall correctly.
While a normal moisture level for drywall is between 5% and 12%, replacement is recommended if you get consistent readings above 17%. At this level, the drywall is likely too compromised by extensive moisture damage to be considered safe. You can replace either the entire sheet or just the affected section. If you are unsure after a visual inspection, it is best to have a contractor or water restoration provider use a professional moisture meter to get an accurate reading.
You can put drywall mud over paint to even out the surface or entirely resurface it. Sand the surface with 280-grit sandpaper, vacuum the debris and dust with a shop vac, and clean it with a slightly damp cloth. Allow the surface to dry. Apply drywall primer, especially if you’re skim-coating an entire wall. Apply the right type of drywall mud over the surface and smooth it with a trowel. Allow the layer to cure fully, then sand it before applying another layer or painting it.
