I need as much feedback as possible. I had two contractors on my house. First one I caught using interior Birch on my roof. I had built in gutters that rotted out some areas on the outside especially above my sliding door to the outside. Never inside. They were going to replace the CDX around...

Our tenant just informed us of the following issue in our (half above-ground) basement bathroom. There appears to be rust and some mold on the ceiling/wall as seen in the pictures below. I have also included an older picture of the entire bathroom so you can get an idea of the layout: Close up...

Apparently there was wood paneling glued to the drywall. The paneling was ripped off, some terrible plaster job was done (without much sanding), then painted. I'd like to repair and smooth all of these problem areas. I just don't know the best way. Should I try and scrape them off, sand, cut...

When i bought the house couple of the bedrooms had a very poor looking paint job...I dont even thing they used primer. I started peeling off the paint in a dented area, at first it was coming off very easily where they mudded around the window. However once i reached the drywall paper surface...

I recently had a friend approached by a condo unit below them. They showed them a stain that appeared to be completely dry. So I have two questions: 1. How long does drywall retain water after water damage has produced a significant stain? 2. Is their any scientific tests (i.e. via...

Hello all, I hope you can help me with my dilemma. I live in a timber frame house that is 10 years old. The frame has shifted and shrunk in spots, a common phenomenon. As a result, the drywall on an interior partition wall has been compressed where it meets a ceiling beam. The paper face of the...
