There are some things he does very well and bathrooms is definitely one of them, it's still not often that I see anything other than dens shield as a tile backer and regular drywall in a bathroom. I've noticed that he always uses durock and humiteck. I've also noticed how he always uses small, local drywall contractors which shows he knows his stuff as a contractor; when it comes to taping, the smaller the company the better the quality.

My issue with his fanatical use of screws is that they simply aren't as strong under certain circumstances and thats why code doesn't allow them to be used for structural framing. An ardox nail will bend and flex with the movement of the house but never actually break clean in two, which is especially important in an earthquake prone area like BC. A screw will sheer clean in two before in bends.

On drywall, subflooring and a other finishing things screws are way better.
