"...first and foremost, mr gragg is an exceptional person...this was my first time hiring a professional contractor and boy did i hit the jackpot!...i needed a main floor half bath saved (yes, SAVED) in a home i recently purchased...hidden behind the main wall where toilet sat was an aging, damaged sewer line from upstairs...in the process of having that replaced, i became aware of just how much damage had occurred...i had a floor rotted to the point the toilet had sank...i had rotted studs...my walls were original sheetrock with plaster covering it and wire mesh in every corner and they were crumbling from the leak...oh, and the floor joists sloped a half inch...the list goes on and on...i tell you all of this so you can visualize what a daunting task lay ahead!...i don't need to tell you everything mr gragg accomplished to save my half bath, but i will tell you this, i got some new joists, some raised joists (not shimmed for the new floor, new studs with new head and bottom boards, new shored (i think that is the correct word) up edges for new floor, reinforced toilet area, the main wall had all the sheetrock removed and drywall installed, two layers of flooring , then a new waterproof locking vinyl floor and my toilet put back in place...now on to mr gragg's knowledge and skill level: HE KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK!!...need i say more...yes i do, for he is darn near a perfectionist in my book and it shows in the quality of work he puts forth...he gave me options and was straight forward on his recommendations without compromising the intent of the project...on to the cost of this dying bathroom: while i have no prior knowledge of what one considers a "fair" price, i do know this, i got my money's worth!...let's be realistic, we can always get numerous free estimates and base our decision on that or we can accept the fact that we hire a contractor for a reason, we need their expertise and we simply cannot handle the job ourselves...i honestly, truly honestly, believe mr gragg gave me more than what i was expecting at better than expected price...i will never, ever use any other contractor...EVER!!!...finally, you do not want to know how many times i have gone into that bathroom, repeatedly jumped up and down on the floor , just to watch the toilet NOT move"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can hammer a nail into a wall stud. But before you do, it’s important to confirm that you’re actually nailing into a stud—and not wiring, pipes, or ductwork. To check, find a few more studs in the wall, then measure to make sure they’re either 16 or 24 inches apart.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

Look for flaking paint or air bubbles that burst and then flake away. Paint will begin to flake after being exposed to minimal moisture or water, so it’s a good indicator of any water damage. If you notice your paint starting to flake, feel the plaster underneath to see if it is soft or damp.

Yes, you can apply new plaster over an existing plaster surface, such as a wall or ceiling, provided the old plaster is in good condition. Before you begin, check the stability of the existing plaster. The surface must be clean, free of loose material, and have no peeling paint. It is also recommended to roughen the surface slightly to promote adhesion. For older plaster, applying a base coat like a PVA emulsion or a specific bonding agent or primer is crucial. This step makes the existing plaster less porous and ensures the new and old layers adhere properly for a smooth, long-lasting finish.

When choosing materials for finishing basement walls, consider factors such as moisture resistance, durability, and fire resistance. Opt for materials specifically designed for basement environments, like moisture-resistant drywall or cement board. Insulation with vapor barriers can help regulate temperature and prevent condensation. Consider using mold-resistant paints or coatings. 

Research and consult with experts to select materials that are suitable for your specific basement conditions and intended use. Prioritize quality and compatibility to achieve long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing results.
