Why hire a contractor?

We may be a little biased regarding this question! If you already have all of the necessary tools on-hand and you are a capable Do-It-Yourselfer, you may be able take on the repair yourself. On the other hand, you may prefer to save time and hassle by turning the job over to a qualified contractor, who has proven experience in the field of drywall repair.

Does a poor insulation job affect the Drywall?

A poor insulation job can negatively affect the drywall installation. Sagging insulation in ceilings can make properly attaching the drywall impossible. Usually the insulation will need to be stapled up higher along the inside edge of the framing. Over stuffing insulation in a narrow bay may make attachment in that area difficult. Sometimes an entire ceiling is overstuffed because the framing is not deep enough to accommodate the high R value. The thickness of the paper edge along with the protruding staples creates a problem for fastening. These are possible factors resulting in poorly attached drywall and an increase in fastener pops.

What should I do about cracks in the stucco in my house?

Nothing, in most cases. Small, hairline cracks are normal and generally won’t compromise stucco’s integrity. Stucco is not waterproof; it is inherently breathable so moisture can leave the wall cavity. It is the tar paper layer that protects the interior of your home from the elements while the stucco protects the tar paper. Two things can damage the tar paper moisture barrier: ice or cracks caused by structural shifting. If cracks are more than 1/8” wide or there is an accompanying bulge, call us to take a look and get a free estimate. Please note that caulking cracks won’t seal the moisture barrier and will make a re-stucco job more difficult and costly.

We encourage you to feel free to talk with your estimator, crew leader, or project manager if you have changes that you would like to make or additional work that you would like to have completed. In most cases it is more cost-effective for us to issue Change Orders or Additional Work Orders during the course of the project than for us to come back after the project is complete. We are always happy to accommodate your requests!

Can damaged drywall be recycled once it is removed?

Yes, it can usually be recycled. Since gypsum makes up about 90% of the weight of a piece of drywall, the gypsum can be recovered from the drywall and most of the material can be recycled. Scrap gypsum drywall is currently being recycled at a few locations in Phoenix and Tempe. However, moldy drywall cannot be recycled and should be handled with care. We wear rubber gloves, eye protection, and a respirator during removal and dispose of it in well-sealed plastic bags.

Why is having a clean job site important before, during, and after a renovation project is done?

In most homes, drywall is everywhere. The drywall contractor has to get into every room and every corner of every room, including closets. The panels are long, heavy, and cumbersome. After the drywall is attached, the tapers have to apply three or four coats of compound, followed by sanding. The tapers have to stay focused on their work. If there are tools, materials, and debris scattered all over the job site, the quality and pace of the work suffers. When drywall work is complete, the next contractors should not have to deal with scraps of drywall, dropped joint compound, filled electrical boxes, and piles of dust. The client should notice the quality of the work performed rather than the mess left behind.
