"We have an iron fence that was wearing; needed prepping, and painting. Todd Cartmel reviewed the paint needed and did a specialty treatment on our fence. He sent out a whole crew of guys that completed the fence, as well as our house railings, in one day. A different crew did repairs and patch work on the exterior of our home concurrent to this work. They have painted the entire exterior of our home on three separate occasions, so this was our fourth time hiring them. The crew and their work are top notch, and we would definitely hire them again for all of our painting needs! They are neat, clean, precise, and respectful. Would not hire anyone else. Cannot say enough good things about this crew and their work ethic!"

The repair was quick and the contractor arrived on time."

"Everything went great! Victor is a true professional, and his work reflects that. He skim-coated our ceilings (3 or 4 coats) of joint compound to change from a textured to a smooth finish and then primed and painted them. Victor went above and beyond, fixing several cracks/imperfections in the walls in our largest room, which was beyond the original scope of work. We really appreciated that, as we were getting ready to paint the walls in that room. Our ceilings look so much better. I would definitely hire Victor again."

While it might be tempting to tackle drywall installation yourself, it's a challenging job best left to the pros. Drywall panels are heavy—each one weighs between 50 and 70 pounds—and handling them safely usually requires at least two people. Professional installers have the experience and equipment to align and secure the panels properly, ensuring a smooth, long-lasting finish that meets all code requirements.
Drywall and plaster are two different materials used for walls and ceilings, each with its own advantages. Drywall consists of manufactured panels that can be installed quickly and offer good insulation. It's generally more cost-effective and is great for straight walls and ceilings.
Plaster is applied in layers over a supportive framework called lath. While it requires more labor, plaster provides a unique, smooth finish that's ideal for curved surfaces and decorative details. Your choice between drywall and plaster will depend on your desired look, durability needs, and budget.
Lightweight drywall panels are about 25% lighter than standard ones, making them easier to handle during installation. This can be helpful if you're doing a DIY project or working in tight spaces. However, they might not offer the same level of durability, fire resistance, or soundproofing as regular drywall. If you're looking for superior protection and a finish that lasts, standard drywall may be the better option for your walls and ceilings.
Professionally installed drywall lasts between 40 and 60 years. Drywall longevity depends on installation quality, maintenance practices, and environmental conditions. High-quality work combined with proper care ensures that drywall performs reliably for decades. Factors such as moisture, fire exposure, and physical damage can affect its lifespan, so regular inspections and timely repairs are essential for extending durability.
You don't need a permit to replace drywall if you're just swapping out old panels without making any structural changes. If you're keeping the wall positions the same and not moving any electrical or plumbing, you can go ahead without a permit. However, if your project involves adding or removing walls or altering the home's infrastructure, you'll likely need to get a permit, which can add $50 to $150 to your costs. It's always a good idea to check with your local building department to make sure you're following the rules.
