"This company came in a updated our 40-year old home insulation with new R-38 batting. We were impressed how much attention to detail the company has for removing old insulation, clean-up, disinfection, and installing new insulation. They also replaced a damaged dryer vent in the crawlspace. Nico and Jeremy were a great combo to work with from quote through install. I plan on calling them back in spring for another project."

"I was referred to this company from a friend that used them in the past. I needed to remove part of drywall and replace the insulation inside due to a leak from one of the pipes. At first I called the office and told them what the problem was. The office sent Juan to my house to check and see the job. Juan came over the following day and looked the problem. He was able to give me a quote on the spot. 
The price seem to be fair so I hired them for that job. Juan than scheduled me for 2 days later and he told me that it will take 1 day to complete and another day to paint. 
I was happy with the fact that he came over when he said he will and he did complete the job the same day. The paint work was completed the following day and I?m happy with the results.

"Every person that came into our home from Tri-County was very professional and respectful.  They covered everything with plastic before removing the insulation and again when blowing it back in.  They cleaned up and disposed of the plastic, vacuumed the attic and cleaned up after themselves such that  you would never have known they were here.  The job of sealing the attic was done so well that the inspector made a comment that he had never seen a job done as well as this and ask who had done the work.  He gave them very high praise.  

The salesman we had, Bryan Zailer, was very knowledgeable and helpful.  He would call back immediately if we had a question and stop by to check on things.  I would highly recommend Tri-County to everyone for their insulation needs."

"Job was performed as promised, but in process installer stepped through ceiling causing a large hole about 3x3 ft. over family room. Temporarily fixed, but not finished. Withheld some of the original estimate funds until ceiling is completely repaired. Promised to follow up with another contractor. Insulation was blown in per specification. Have not had time to evaluate the savings in energy costs. Communication between the original estimator and installation crew was lacking some information previously provided. Asked for an afternoon appointment, but came in the morning. Did not matter however, as this was a holiday."

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

You can put certain types of plaster over other types, but doing so isn't always the best idea. For example, putting a coat of gypsum over lime plaster is possible, but doing so will limit the lime plaster's breathability and potentially affect its performance.

Since cement plaster tends to leave a textured surface, no matter how much you smooth it, some people prefer to use gypsum plaster as a topcoat over cement plaster, creating a smoother surface.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

All plaster walls will crack over time due to normal house settling and expansion and contraction from temperature and moisture changes. Small, thin hairline cracks are generally not serious and are mostly a cosmetic issue. However, larger or more significant cracks can indicate structural problems.

Here's how to tell the difference:

  • Cosmetic Cracks: Cracks that are 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) or thinner are typically cosmetic.

  • Structural Cracks: Cracks wider than 0.5 cm, excessive or deep cracks, multiple cracks in the same area, or cracks that span around corners can signify a structural or foundation issue. Cracks along the joints where walls meet the ceiling also warrant attention.

For cracks wider than 0.5 cm, structural repair is needed. If a crack is 2.5 cm (1 inch) or wider, or if you notice any signs of a structural problem, it is best to contact a plaster repair professional to assess the damage.

Yes, you can mount a TV on plaster walls—as long as you attach it to the studs. Alternatively, you can use toggle bolts, molly bolts, or another type of hardware that’s strong enough to support a TV. 

If you aren’t comfortable with this type of project, you can hire a pro. The cost of mounting a TV to a plaster wall ranges from $25 to $600 (or more), depending on the TV’s weight, size, and other factors.

Both plaster and drywall are durable wall finishes, but they differ significantly in installation, cost, performance, and aesthetics.

Installation & Cost: Drywall installation is faster and more affordable, typically costing $1.50 to $3 per square foot. It uses premade sheets, making it a more accessible DIY project. Plastering is a labor-intensive craft that requires specialized skills, pushing costs to $2 to $10 per square foot. It involves applying a wet paste over a lath framework.

Durability & Performance: Plaster is generally more durable, longer-lasting, and provides superior soundproofing. It is also a better insulator, which can help reduce energy costs. Drywall is easier to remove for future renovations.

Aesthetics: Drywall provides a smooth, uniform surface ready for paint or texture. Plaster offers a high-end, naturally textured look that can hide imperfections and is often preferred for achieving a classic or historic aesthetic.

Which is better? The choice depends on your priorities. Drywall is ideal for those prioritizing a lower upfront cost, faster installation, and DIY potential. Plaster is the better option for a higher-end project where durability, soundproofing, and a unique, premium finish are more important than the initial cost.
