I was extremely impressed with Jonathan's professionalism and knowledge.  He has a background in home inspection and the evaluation included an examination of the exterior and interior of the house, including the attic and basement/garage/crawlspace.  His chief worker had worked as an electrician and he checked the wiring.  With these two, I felt I had a mini home inspection and electrical inspection included in this evaluation.  I had many questions about houses and insulation and I received clear answers, with reference to current building codes in my jurisdiction.  Jonathan and his crew arrived on time (or slightly early) for the appointments and Jonathan was very responsive to communication via phone or email.  They worked with my schedule and were considerate of my formerly feral cats, including the new foundling in the bathroom.  The work took place over two days and the crew cleaned up after the work and even repaired the ill-fitting access hatch to the attic. 

I learned that, in older homes, there is much leakage of winter cold air into the walls since the tops in the attic are not sealed and that there are many areas in the floors and walls for cold air to come into the house from the basement/crawlspace, around wiring and plumbing.  These were all sealed and insulated.  The areas of ductwork around the point where it goes into the house (behind the grates) were replaced and sealed with insulating foam.  The hatch to the attic and the area around the whole house fan were insulated and weather stripped.  Weather stripping was placed around the doors and a blanket covered the hot water heater in the basement.  Insulation was blown into the attic.

The first thing I noticed upon coming into my house was how quiet it is now!  There are no drafts, even as cold as it's been this week (in the teens and 20s at night).  I'm sure the energy bills will be lower.

I highly recommend Jonathan and the Eco Three team!

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

The age of your home can clue you in to whether you have plaster or drywall ceilings. Homes built after the ‘70s are more likely to have drywall ceilings and walls, while older homes have plaster. You can also do the pushpin test: A pushpin will go into drywall, whereas it’s much harder to push one into a plaster wall. If you’re still unsure, ask a drywall professional to let you know which type of ceilings and walls you have.

You should leave a gap between drywall sheets because they naturally expand and contract along with the building framing as temperature and humidity change. Most pro drywall installers leave a gap of about ⅛ inch between drywall sheets, allowing the sheets to expand, contract, and shift without cracking or becoming damaged. If you don’t leave enough gaps between slabs, the edges will press against each other when they expand, and the pressure can cause visible cracks.

The easiest way to remove texture from walls is the soak-and-scrape method. You’ll need to spray a section of the wall with water and let the water soak in and soften the texture. Then, you need to scrape the texture off using a drywall taping knife. This method works best with unpainted walls since paint prevents water from saturating the textured joint compound.

Only use spackle on plaster walls when the imperfection is small. It’s best used for nail holes or small dings in the plaster. Spackle dries quickly, allowing you to continue the repair process shortly after using it. Plaster can be tricky to repair, though, so if you run into issues, call a pro so that you don’t risk further damage.

It doesn’t matter which way you lay drywall, and you can choose to install it horizontally or vertically depending on the size of the wall and how tall the ceiling is. It’s easier to lay drywall sheets vertically if you have a taller ceiling, but laying sheets horizontally makes it easier to apply joint compound.
