All Things Drywall

Other small project. Tomorrow is sand/touch up, run the middles of the butts. Then, a light orange peel on the lid. And, on to the next job ! 🎉

Sadly, i am going to have to start charging more for sheetrock delivery & for the texturing/painting phase of jobs i get, for the forseeable future.

Small project. 2 basement bedrooms. Had some water damage. Replaced 4 sheets of ceiling drywall. Scraped off the popcorn texture from existing part, & sprayed a light texted. Then painted. Went pretty smoothly.
And, I havent seen a Murphy bed in years. So, that was pretty cool too. Homeowner is happy with the result. And, so am i !
Small projects are my jam. Not only because most companies wont do them. Because they are more personal. I'm not putting band-aids on, to make it just good enough to rent to the next person. And, I'm not polishing/covering up something & leaving it for the next owner (or tradesman) to deal with.
I like working on peoples' forever homes, or homes they will pass to their kids someday.

So, not much to say about this. Actually, there's ALOT to say, but i will refrain. Except to say this. Just because a contractor gives a ridiculous/high estimate, SEEMS reputable (or just has alot of advertising), or is a great saleman, doesnt mean the work about to be done is worth half a steaming pile of pet excrement.

I have been in nearly every constuction phase there is, over 30 years time. I have NEVER seen a worse trim job in my life. In the entire basement.
I cant think on a low enough level to imagine how this work passed for the contractor to pay them. Unless he paid them Before they did the work. Pretty sure the contractor thought they were getting a great deal. Cheap...for a reason.

So, yet again, i remind all you homeowners, pay attention to the quality level AND make sure you get what you pay for BEFORE YOU PAY ! Dont be afraid to DEMAND your moneys' worth.

Or, dont be afraid to give us little fish a call. I guarentee i can do a better job. I do alot more than drywall. I just prefer drywall.

Warm days like this get me thinking about spring, as i'm sure it does to most of us, up here. I have been working away, in basements, bathrooms & garages all winter. So, i am looking forward to changing up & doing some outside work as well. If you have any upcoming projects, we do alot of things besides drywall hanging & finishing.

I'll take on single story siding, i have 5+ years exp with that. I've shingled more homes than i can count, granted i only have a few people to call on to do that, so it would be a longer time table. We do exterior painting on houses, decks/patios & fences. We can build small structures, we have all the tools & equip for that.

And, we put the same quality into all that work as we do in the drywall work as well. The difference being that i flat out refuse to take shortcuts, substitute lower quality products, or otherwise compromise integrity of any structure i build, or product i apply. If that work fails, i am liable, & That would cost alot of $. I'm not a hack. I warranty my work. I guarentee my work. So, it would cost precious time as well. There is a way smaller margin of error than with drywall...

So, if you have some projects you have been planning on for this spring, call for an estimate. It's never to early to schedule jobs.

Hope you all get to enjoy the nice weekend !

I've been putting off posting for awhile. Letting the holidays pass, and getting back to "normal".

If you have patchwork, room remodels, or new construction, i have the tools, time & talent to get it done. I choose not to overbook my schedule, because that burns me out, & its just not worth it.

I would like to be the 1 to do it right for you. I work according to your schedule, not mine. My prices are flexible, you decide. It's a "Pick any 2" deal right now. Fast, Cheap, Good. I can do any of those 2, priced accordingly. I look forward to working for you someday !

Again, not as many pics as i thought. And, apologies for the lighting. It was a late finish. 😮‍💨
But, it turned out pretty good, all things considered. Most of the patches disappeared & blended in rather nicely.
By the way, it was a basement & main floor remodel. Water damage & foundation repair. Thats why so many little things upstairs. Fixing walls in the basement shifted the house, & caused alot of cracks.
Anyhow, i am available for jobs of all sizes, simple patches to remodels. Or new construction.

This is a rehab house i did awhile back. Admittedly, the end result wasn't the best. Considering the starting point, it was the best i could do.

Quick little repair. Water meter got updated, so had to re-rock & finish the area. Got a few touch up spots, but went well overall...

This was the jigsaw puzzle room. I'm still trying to figure out lighting to show texture tho, so those pics arent on here...
