"The owner of the company Jason Taylor spent time in my attic before we contracted with them so he could give me good and correct information. He also participated in the work of shooting in the insulation. He was very hands-on. Donâ t usually expect this attention from the owner/boss Was very pleased."

"Yes. Billy said everyone was great on install date. Omar was helpful and communicated effectively. Team worked well together and were efficient. Team was respectful of our property and cleaned up after work done. All of the team members being available was excellent to get install in one day. We hopefully will enjoy the benefits of the insulation and all went as anticipated with install. Very glad we had it done. Leo was excellent with pre install quote and arranging for install. We got a few quotes . We paid highest quote to have the work done quickly which met our needs. Thank you for the excellent service"

"Rafael and his company are great people to work with. Their in-depth estimate and assessment of the attic is unparalleled, not to mention competitive. They were very flexible with accommodating our needs on our schedule. Very responsive Manager too, would reply to my calls and text almost immediately. I really appreciate how hard working and efficient these guys are. I had other workers doing work on our house at the same time and they were also impressed at how clean they left the attic before installing the new insulation. Rafael values your business and his work and attitude definitely demonstrate it. Call them you won't regret it."

"I spent thousands of dollars on a popular pest control company and three months later the problem was worse! I canceled the year long contract they put me on and contacted California Attic and build. Ben and Dan came out and professionally assessed my situation and guaranteed the work they would do. Within a few days the problem was solved. I can finally sleep at night!"

"Rob was amazing! I wanted to get my attic insulated, my house was built in the sixties and had never been updated to current standards. Was able to get an estimate within 2 days and when he came he inspected throughout to see if there were other problems which he found from when we replaced out AC ducts. Estimate was extremely reasonable and was able to get a insulation date the following week. Luckily we were able to get this done before the heat waves started and I already have noticed the improvement on retaining ideal temperature and my AC runs much more efficiently and has to run for less time. Cant recommend this company enough!"

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

The best tool for skim coating drywall is a skim coating blade, which can smooth out joint compound in wide stretches. While you could use a smaller drywall knife for skim coating, the smaller size means it’ll take longer to smooth out each section. Instead, consider investing in a skim coating blade for the quickest application.

If you only have tiny holes in your drywall (for example, dents or nail marks), you probably won’t need a patch kit. Instead, you can plug the hole with a small amount of spackle. Once the spackle dries, you can sand the area and paint over it—just like you would in the steps outlined above.

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.

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 put drywall mud over paint to even out the surface or entirely resurface it. Sand the surface with 280-grit sandpaper, vacuum the debris and dust with a shop vac, and clean it with a slightly damp cloth. Allow the surface to dry. Apply drywall primer, especially if you’re skim-coating an entire wall. Apply the right type of drywall mud over the surface and smooth it with a trowel. Allow the layer to cure fully, then sand it before applying another layer or painting it.
