"...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

If you plan on heating your garage, you must install a vapor barrier when drywalling the garage. A vapor barrier protects your garage from frost and mold that can occur through condensation. If your garage is unheated, you don't need to install a vapor barrier. The only exception is if you regularly crank the heat in your car before getting in it. In this case, you may still want to install a vapor barrier, as your car can heat your garage.

In some minor cases, you can DIY drywall repair with minimal time and money spent. This method is best when you have a hole made by a singular problem, such as accidental furniture moving, and not a continuous problem, like a rodent infestation. 

Knowing what product to use is crucial. For example, small holes only need spackle, whereas large holes might need a new piece of drywall. You can flex your DIY abilities on this project, but if you’d like a second opinion or have a more significant problem, it’s best to call in a drywall repair pro.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

You should not leave drywall outside, especially overnight or in a wet, humid climate. Exposure to rain and humidity can damage the drywall, weakening its structural integrity and making it susceptible to mold growth. If you must leave drywall outside during a project, be sure to cover it with a tarp or keep it inside a storage shed to protect it. Even drywall intended for exterior projects requires a protective moisture barrier. For best results, store any extra drywall in a dry area away from the elements.

Most handy homeowners can tackle removing texture from unpainted walls. Removing texture from painted walls is a bit trickier. Paint acts as a sealant, so you can’t soften the texture with water. Instead, you’ll have to add a layer of drywall compound known as a skim coat. This process is messy and takes some practice.
