"Jake did an outstanding job with our recessed lighting installation. He was very attentive to detail and making sure the lights were aligned and symmetrical, and that nothing was damaged during the work. He managed through hard work and persistence to install six units without damaging our drywall. He also looped me into decision-making at the right times, and was great at communicating the pros and cons of different choices. I was able to provide the canisters, lights, and dimmer myself which allowed me to research and choose exactly what I wanted and avoid markups, but used their wiring. I got the full day deal and was also able to have Jake swap out an old light switch for a Lutron paddle switch for check into some other electrical issues in another room. Installing this lighting was a stress-free experience, and it's made our space so much more livable and usable. I plan to use Murphy Family Services again for some additional updates."

"We recently hired T & S Precision Painting to paint our finished basement, and the results were absolutely fantastic. The ceiling was painted a matte black and the walls a neutral grey and the transformation is stunning. The contrast between the black ceiling and grey walls gives the entire space a sophisticated, modern look, far beyond what we imagined. From start to finish, the painter was punctual, professional, and incredibly detail oriented. They took great care to prep the space properly, ensuring clean lines and a flawless finish and they protected everything thoroughly and left no mess behind. Their expertise and suggestions really showed their professionalism and expertise. If you're looking for a painter who delivers high-quality results with a professional touch, we highly recommend T & S Precision Painting We couldn’t be happier with the outcome!"

"
We are very pleased with the work.  Jodie and his crew were professional and very polite.  He addressed any questions we had about the structure.  We were very impressed.  They worked in rain, cold, and it even snowed on the last day of the job.  They began the job sooner than we first thought they would be able. They finished the job when they said they would have it finished."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can install drywall over plaster, but there are important factors to consider. While it can create a smooth, flat surface, it is often not the best approach. Installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall's thickness, which can cause issues with existing window and door frames that may no longer fit. You might also need to adjust power outlets to keep them accessible. A better, though more expensive, option is to remove the old plaster and lath entirely before installing new drywall. Drywalling directly over plaster seals in the old material, and if any problems arise later, you will need to remove both layers down to the structural beams for repairs. Given the potential complications, this job is best handled by professionals.

The short answer is yes, a sagging plaster ceiling is dangerous. Sagging plaster on a wall is something you should fix immediately, but it isn’t a major concern. If the same type of sagging occurs on a ceiling, however, you could be in danger of your ceiling falling in large chunks. When plaster sags, it loses its strength and ability to hold itself up. The bonds that hold it together are strong, though, so if a sagging area falls, it will take large pieces down with it.

There are a handful of reasons why your drywall anchors are breaking. Using the wrong type of anchor is the most common problem, so always make sure you’re using the best option for a particular project. That there are electrical wires or plumbing where you’ve placed an anchor or that your drywall is weak are two other possible causes. 

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.

You should always hang drywall from the top down. Starting at the top makes it easier to create a straight, tight line between the ceiling and the wall. Any gaps that occur will be at the bottom, where they are easier to manage. You can either cut the bottom piece of drywall to fit the remaining space or cover the gap with baseboard trim. Additionally, starting at the top is physically easier, as you won't have to fit the top sheet into a tight space between the lower sheet and the ceiling, or try to balance the upper sheets on the lower ones while securing them.
