"So far very good. Itâ s just completed hopefully this will make a difference. Feel good about having the old insulation removed after 38 years. Old insulation was breaking down like sawdust. Attic is clean now no critters or bugs to worry about. Everyone was professional & efficient. Ask again in one year for an update on performance & customer service if needed."

"I hired Gary from EcoSystems in order to increase my attic insulation from R38 to R49 and I wasn't disappointed. He used all the SRP rebates available in order to reduce the price for me. I contacted a few more companies and Gary was the cheapest by $300-$600 so I hired him. He came promptly at the time set and after a few questions he started the work. After an hour or so the attic was recovered of cellulose. I took a quick look and it looked fantastic. The crew cleaned up after themselves and the entire experience was painless. I would recommend Gary if you are in the Phoenix area. Also he told me that if I had talked to my neighbors and someone else would have had their insulation done the same day, price would have been lower so I'm passing this information along."

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

There are six levels of drywall finish, from 0 to 5, that refer to the amount of work performed during the finishing process.

Level 0: Drywall is hung with no finishing work.

Level 1: Tape is placed over the seams between drywall sheets.

Level 2: A thin layer of mud is applied over the tape and screw holes. This level is common for utility rooms or walls that will be covered.

Level 3: A full coat of mud covers the screw holes and tape, but the surface is not sanded. This is often used in garages.

Level 4: This is the most common finish for visible interior walls. It involves applying two coats of mud over seams and screw holes, with sanding between each coat, creating a smooth surface ready for flat paint.

Level 5: This is a high-end finish for luxury homes. It includes full taping, mudding, and sanding, plus a final skim coat over the entire surface before painting.

Most handy homeowners can tackle removing texture from unpainted walls. Removing texture from painted walls is a bit trickier. Paint acts as a sealant, so you can’t soften the texture with water. Instead, you’ll have to add a layer of drywall compound known as a skim coat. This process is messy and takes some practice.

There are several things you should not do when installing drywall. Common mistakes include: adding too many screws, over-sanding, not adding backing support, and installing drywall unevenly. You also should avoid screwing into the same place twice, installing Sheetrock with tapered edges on the outside, and making too many joints.

Drying alone can take 1 to 4 hours to dry to the touch per plaster layer, but some types of plaster take several hours longer to dry. However, this doesn’t mean the job is done because plaster doesn’t fully harden until it cures, which can take a few days to a couple of weeks. It may take even longer if you’re building a new, pretty thick plaster wall. Allow the plaster to cure before painting it.

A common cause of separation between a wall and the ceiling is truss lift—this can happen to the ceiling of rooms directly under the attic when the seasons change and wood building materials dry out, shrink, and shift. Roof trusses often dry out at different speeds, and if the bottom pieces dry out faster than the top pieces, they can shrink and pull the attached drywall away from ceilings and walls, causing cracks. Fortunately, truss lift is only a cosmetic problem, not a structural problem, and you can fix it by separating the ceiling drywall from the roof trusses, and patching the cracks.
