"It went very well. Everything was done very quickly. The technician was on time and very professional. He even told me that I would need to get a handyman to replace the worn out drywall around one of the outlets. The total cost was approximately $130.00."

"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

A post-drywall inspection could uncover many problems that weren’t present during the pre-drywall inspection, including insufficient insulation, missing weather stripping, improperly installed plumbing and lighting fixtures, flooring damage, drywall damage, plumbing leaks, aesthetic issues, and more. Structural problems, which are often expensive to fix and are common reasons to walk away after a home inspection, are easier to see before the drywall goes up, but a post-drywall inspection may highlight minor issues with house settling and foundation problems.

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 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.

Furring strips, thin strips of wood or metal, are not always required for ceiling drywall installation. If the ceiling surface is even and in good condition, drywall can be directly attached to the ceiling joists using screws. However, furring strips become essential when dealing with irregular surfaces or when additional insulation or soundproofing is needed. They create a level substrate for attaching the drywall. Ultimately, the decision to use furring strips depends on the condition of the existing ceiling and the specific requirements of the project.

Yes, drywall nail pops are a common occurrence in homes, both new and old, resulting from the settling and shifting of the structure over time. Though not present in every room or on every wall, encountering nail pops in different sections of a home is not unusual, particularly if the temperature, humidity, or foundation has experienced changes.
