"Over all good timely work just thought when they came to inspect the job they would remove some old (already bagged) insulation for free, then never received a quote and after they finished the job I was billed $125 to remove the insulation if I had gotten a quote I would have gotten rid of it myself."

"They did a very good job. I first noticed water in my dining room which had never happened before in 12 years of living at this house. Come to find out, the shingles I had were defective (New Horizons) so a new roof was really the preferred solution rather than a fix. Steve, the owner, first had someone come to the house and do a measurement/analysis. Then someone else came to do a minor repair to keep the water from coming in (cost of which was deducted from roof cost). Then Steve came to the house to provide the estimate. He is very thorough...he built this company and has been doing roof work since a teenager. He knows his stuff. Frankly, I did not get multiple bids just due to the hassle factor. The cost seemed fair, given all that needed to be done and the size of the house. The replacement itself was done same-day the next week. Workers were very nice and professional. Clean up was terrific. Paperwork and financing was a breeze, and they even provided the name of someone to do drywall for me. Very responsive and professional. Would not hesitate to use them again. "

Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.
In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.
Certain drywall textures, like sand and sometimes popcorn, can be smoothed by applying skim coats, sanding the walls, or chipping away the texture. However, it’s worth considering removing the texture and starting with a blank canvas. Smoothing textured walls requires a lot of sandpaper and elbow grease and can take longer than just outright removing the texture.
Which style of corner bead you choose—whether metal or paper-faced—depends on your preference and if you’re comfortable using metal-cutting tools and a hammer. Metal bead offers superior strength and durability but its installation is slightly more involved. We’d say for most cases, it’s better to use metal bead but if you’re not comfortable working with metal, paper-faced bead will work just fine.
In most cases, plaster repair will improve your home’s energy efficiency because a solid barrier of the insulative material helps keep conditioned air inside your home. Major plaster repair jobs like repairing large cracks or crumbling sections of plaster or applying a skim coat might make a noticeable difference in your heating and cooling bills. Not only can plaster repairs improve efficiency, but they can also reduce strain on your HVAC equipment, potentially saving you money on maintenance and repairs.
