"the tech milled around for about 45 minute with half the time he was outside of my home by his truck. The tech at the end of the 45 minutes reported he could not locate the problem. he told me that he would have to break into my wall and wire my outlets to a near by light switch. He also stated he could do this for $395 plus parts. He also stated that this work would take 3 to 4 to complete and I would be responsible for the repairs to the drywall. This repair did not sound correct. outlets should not be put on the line with the switch. the tech took my payment for doing absolutely nothing. i was not left with a receipt after payment. I called this company minutes after the tech departed. I was informed that the tech would be contacted and they would get back to me. Two weeks later, three text and two additional phones this company has not responded"

"He was supposed to be and out by October 10th because I had a painter scheduled for the 13th of October.  My painter even gave him a couple more days to get done and that did not help.  The painter had to try and work behind him as he finished each part of the job.  He even waited until the painter had his drop cloths down and started sanding the walls.  He spent a day putting the basement door in instead of getting the work done upstairs so the painter could paint.  The painter had to finally leave and wait until the work was done to come back and finish painting.  There were days when he was supposed to be here and he never showed.  If you choose to hire him make sure you explain to him that you do not use the foul language that he does when he is in someone's home.

"The initial consultation was scheduled online and the company was very prompt to respond and schedule a home visit.  They arrived as scheduled and were very detailed in explaining options.  They also came when scheduled for follow up visits for measurements, inspections, etc.  Some personal matters resulted in me delaying the start of the work by several months and the company was very understanding and willing to work with me.  Once the work was actually scheduled to start, the installer arrived as planned.  He was professional and diligent in performing the work, which took about 2 weeks to finish.  As the first phase of the demolition started, he identified some things that could be done to open the main room up, which were good suggestions that were accepted.  He also performed other repairs that were identified along the way, like unforseen cracks in walls that he patched, and rotting wood that needed to be replaced to install the new windows.  The cost estimate that was initially quoted was the true final cost, in spite of the little adjustments that had to be made along the way.  There were no issues with the county inspections, which they coordinated at each phase.  They did not disrupt my neighbors as the work progressed and cleaned up at the completion of the job.  About half way through the job, I received a call from the representative that had set up the initial contract just to check in and see how things were going.  I really appreciated that.  The entire Remodel USA team, from the initial consultation, to the delivery of the materials, and the actual installation, was well communicated and coordinated.  I would definitely consider using this company again for remodeling and renovation work.  The cost was a little higher than a traditional remodel with drywall installation, etc. but the basement system is of the highest quality and well worth the extra cost, plus it comes with a warranty.

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.

Plaster is denser, harder, and more porous than drywall, so it absorbs moisture differently. This means you’ll often need more prep work, such as thorough sanding, patching, and priming with a high-quality bonding primer. Additionally, you may need more coats of paint to achieve even coverage. While the process takes more time, it helps ensure a durable and professional-looking result.

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.

Plaster itself has a higher R-value than drywall. However, there are other considerations surrounding plaster and insulation. As a general rule, it's easier to obtain consistency in insulating value and quality when working with drywall rather than plaster. Plaster walls often don't contain any insulation behind the wall covering by design, and careful evaluation is necessary when choosing to add it.

It's generally recommended to hang drywall on the ceiling first before moving on to the walls. This sequence allows the ceiling sheets to provide support for the vertical wall sheets. By attaching the ceiling drywall initially, you establish a solid framework to align and attach the wall panels accurately. This method ensures a seamless and sturdy connection between the ceiling and walls, resulting in a more professional finish.
