How To Fix Popped Drywall Screws

One of the most annoying home problems involves one of the smallest bits of the construction materials. Popped drywall screws are a real pain, especially if they’re coming through beautifully painted walls. The problem usually happens when the lumber to which the drywall is attached shrinks, especially if it was installed while the wood contained a large amount of moisture. Screws popping out can be especially bad when you have the heat running in winter, but any time the frame warps or changes shape can cause this problem.

You should never ignore popped screws. They are a sign that the sheet of drywall is no longer properly secured to the frame. Luckily, repairs are pretty easy!

How To Level Flooring Before Installation

One of the trickiest parts of installing flooring yourself is getting the floor level before installation. The subfloor, the layer (usually made of plywood) that provides you a surface over the joists, might look flat to the untrained eye. But across the width of the room, the levels can grade just a fraction of an inch, and while it might not seem too bad, it can seriously affect your finished flooring.

Without a level subfloor, your hardwood or tile flooring can buckle and crack, damaging these expensive materials. Prevent this by taking the job of levelling your floors seriously!

By choosing to go with a renovation at this time of year, you could be saving yourself some money!

Of course, the cold weather makes some projects more realistic than others. Here are some ideas for the best winter renovations!

Fall Renovation Ideas

Fall is a great time to begin a few renovations to prepare for the winter. The atmosphere is crisp and clean, and the temperatures are usually manageable. In the fall, we tend to overlook how much a few renovations can help our energy bills.

I knew I called the right company to do work for me at my house. Alan and Simon are wonderful people to talk to and they explain how the process goes on each and every project. I have been a happy, satisfied, and devoted customer since you did work on my house a year ago…

SensiBuild has completed my home renovations and I am so happy with the work. They installed new laminate flooring, renovated my full bathroom with custom tile work and tub installation, as well as a full basement update complete with flooring, trim work, and a custom entertainment unit. Highly recommend!

We couldn’t be happier with the quality of the deck. Alan and Simon did a fantastic job turning our vision into a reality. You can tell by the finished product that they care about the workmanship and quality as if they are completing a job on their own homes. Getting a call back can be a challenge but keep in mind they are a two-man operation and once they started the job they were on site working everyday until it was completed. I highly recommend

Simon and Alan were courteous and helpful the whole time they were working on our project. They knew the timeline really mattered to us and ensured everything was done on time even when it meant driving to Toronto to pick up a bathtub that had been delivered to the wrong place. I really appreciated that they had good suggestions for things we didn’t know about and did everything in their power to make the things we did have strong preferences about work out exactly how we wanted. They also used high-quality materials and were very careful with our budget. Our bathroom turned out amazing and I could not be happier with it. These guys are extremely considerate people and have a very high attention to detail with their work. Would highly recommend, and definitely would hire again.
