"Great service from a great company! Jonathan and his team are professional, skilled, efficient, and reliable! Came by for a free check of current insulation (there was none!!) and arrived 15 minutes earlier than his scheduled start time! Our house is built in the early 50s with no insulation and old walls, but him and his team worked quickly and efficiently, and the difference was HUGE! Before these guys, the AC ran about 19-22 hours a day (my Nest tracks this stuff) to try to keep temperature at 74 and it almost never actually reached it till maybe 3am, then was off for an hour, then on again. During the day, house temperature would go up instead of down despite the AC's best efforts! Don't even get me started on the 500+ electric bill for a 1200 Sqft home! Now, a day after their full wall insulation from the outside (no damage to interior AT ALL), the house stayed at 73 even though the AC was powered off from 4:30pm until now, 10:20pm, and was even off most of the time before that, only coming on for a few minutes every few hours to bring it down 1 degree, the way it's supposed to work. Outside it was 90s with hot gusts of wind. I could not be happier with their work, level of expertise and professionalism, friendly demeanor, and GREAT pricing!! Masterful job, Marathon Insulation. Will definitely refer you to all my friends and family, well done and thank you for coming thru before the heat got even worse!! Props Jonathan and crew, wish you all the best."

"Mr Lee was great to work with. He showed up on time and his work was terrific. Afterwards he made sure to clean up everywhere he worked so you couldn’t even tell he was here (except for the repaired work). He replaced drywall from a plumbing issue and also fixed some holes we had in drywall."

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

When used correctly, drywall patch kits can work well. However, there are limitations. Specifically, these kits can only cover holes up to 5 inches in diameter. For anything larger than that, you’ll need to cut out the affected section of drywall and replace it with a new piece. That’s a far more complicated process that involves buying the right type of drywall, finding the wall studs, cutting into your wall, and screwing the replacement drywall in place.

You can paint over drywall mud about 24 hours after application, but the exact timing depends on factors like humidity, temperature, and the thickness of the mud. For the best results, ensure the mud is completely dry to the touch and has changed from a darker gray to a lighter, chalky white. Don’t forget to sand and prime the drywall surface before you paint to create a smooth, even finish.

If you plan on heating your garage, you must install a vapor barrier when drywalling the garage. A vapor barrier protects your garage from frost and mold that can occur through condensation. If your garage is unheated, you don't need to install a vapor barrier. The only exception is if you regularly crank the heat in your car before getting in it. In this case, you may still want to install a vapor barrier, as your car can heat your garage.

The amount of drywall you need for a 1,000-square-foot basement depends on the ceiling height, angles, number of doors and windows, and more. To find the wall square footage, multiply the width and height of each wall, minus any gaps from windows or doors, and add the totals together. You’ll also need enough drywood nails or screws to install the drywall correctly.

Plaster is a pretty tough surface, but it can still sustain damage from things like bumping against it, water issues, dampness, extreme humidity changes, and plain old age. Most plaster walls last hundreds of years and will only be taken down to the base layer when major repairs are required. Being cautious around the wall, not placing furniture against it, and ensuring stable humidity are all great ways to reduce possible damage.
