Mark Allen Maupin

Detroit, MI -- Mike Deluca Interior painting contractor and drywall installation expert from Troy, Michigan was recently interviewed by Mark Maupin, AKA Mr. Home Repair. Mike has over 15 years experience in the paint and drywall trade, providing commercial, residential, and industrial service for all of Oakland County and the Metro Detroit area.

Mike said "I feel blessed to go to work in a trade that I love; not many people are lucky enough to enjoy the work they do every day. I am passionate about providing quality paint and drywall services. Unfortunately there are a lot of poor drywall repairs out there. I have on many occasions had to replace drywall that a handyman tried to pass of as a quality repair or installation job. I have found houses that were painted the year before that looked like they where 15 year old paint jobs. When you're looking to hire a contractor, remember ‘buyers beware'. There are so many fly-by-night companies out there. Don't be fooled by a slick talking salesman."

"So, how does one go about making sure they are hiring the right contractor to do the job?" asked Mark. Mike responded, "There are 6 key points I tell everyone who is looking to hire a contractor. They are:

1. Use only licensed, insured contractors

2. Use a reputable company; check with the better business bureau
3. Ask for references; they should be more than happy to provide them

4. Look at their previous work; a good contractor will be happy to show photos

5. If your job involves demolition, use a company who is specialized to do this

6. Get a written quote of exactly what will be done and the cost

"A licensed contractor will be more than happy to provide all the above information. He won't be offended if you ask for it; in fact, he will probably volunteer it because he knows he is competing for your business. A good contractor, especially one who does painting, drywall and remodeling jobs, will have before and after photos of his previous work. If the job you need to have done requires demolition, be sure the person you hire is well qualified in this area; a lot of serious damage can be done when you start tearing out walls, especially load bearing walls."

Mark was impressed with the amount of information Mike had to share. "I have been in the brick repair business for 13 years; I've also witnessed the nightmares people have suffered from poor workmanship that cost them big bucks."

The interview concluded with a final comment from Mike, "There are plenty of good painting contractors and drywall installation companies in business. Don't let a con man or handyman taking on more than he can handle ruin your home remodeling experience."

Often Times you may find a large hole in your drywall in need of repair. Here's how to fix it without a drywall repair kit:

Step 1: Cut scrap piece of drywall with utility knife into a rectangle or sqaure a little bigger than hole or damaged area. If you don't have piece of drywall handy yolocal hardware store. Use your piece of drwyall a a template place the patch against damaged area, and lightly trace around it with pencil. Carefully saw outlined area with keyhole saw.

Step 2: To hold wallboard patch in place, install small board about 6 inches longer than long dimension of hole. Put board into hole, center it horizontally, and hold it firmly against inside of wallboard. To help keep it there, fasten ends of board to drywall with flathead screws driven through wall at sides of hole; countersink screws below surface of drywall.

Step 3: Glue your patch into place using spackling compound or wallboard joint compound. Using a six inch putty knife spread compound on back of drywall patch and around edges. Try to get as smooth of a finish on your dry wall as possible. Set patch into hole and adjust it so it's exactly even with surrounding wall. Hold it in place until compound starts to set. Let compound dry at least several hours. Sand the dry wall to a smooth finish and you are ready to paint
