lol. Yes, I've seen a lot of ... different fixes over the years. There's a lot of 100+ year old homes here in NB, mostly plaster, and you can kinda patch it, or replace it. Patching plaster though.... ugh.

I'd say 50% of my initial calls / contact are for ceiling replacement, usually end up doing the painting as well. Once people find you are drywall / tape specific they don't even question it. MOST of the drywall to finish work down here is done by painters ; and they want to paint it all white because it hides everything.

I love it, and I'm beyond grateful and thankful I can be home and do this ( on my own terms at that ) and not have to back out West.

Did that a few years ago ; I went back to Calgary, she stayed home here. Now, with her job as fuel delivery, which is 12-14 hours a day to be available to take care of the 4 dogs and parrots, she couldn't do it. We have cats too but they're ok if you're not home much ha ha.
