"After talking with several attic clean out and insulation, wall insulation companies, I decided to go with Marathon Insulation. Johnathan was very helpful and professional, gave the best choices for my issues, without trying to upsell like some of the others. After getting the attic and walls insulated (with attic clean out) I can already feel the heat stay in the rooms much longer and the walls much less cold to the touch before. I highly recommend Marathon Insulation! They were always on time, delivered as promised, and cleaned up after."

"Needed the acoustic ceilings removed in our master bedroom. Richard was able to quickly provide an estimate as well as expert guidance on our options. Pedro and Jose were prompt, courteous and meticulously clean and everything was completed within just a few days. Very impressed with how everything turned out and with the efficiency and professionalism at every step in the process. Looking forward to working with System One again."

"I contacted Osvaldo to repair drywall in my ceiling after water damage, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. From the start, they were professional, responsive, and punctual. They quickly assessed the damage, explained the repair process clearly, and gave me a fair and transparent estimate. The quality of the work was outstanding. The ceiling looks like new—seamless and perfectly blended with the surrounding area.They were meticulous with cleanup too, leaving the space spotless when they finished. It’s clear they take pride in their work and care about customer satisfaction. I highly recommend Osvaldo to anyone in need of drywall repair. I’ll definitely be calling them again for future projects!"

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.

A post-drywall inspection could uncover many problems that weren’t present during the pre-drywall inspection, including insufficient insulation, missing weather stripping, improperly installed plumbing and lighting fixtures, flooring damage, drywall damage, plumbing leaks, aesthetic issues, and more. Structural problems, which are often expensive to fix and are common reasons to walk away after a home inspection, are easier to see before the drywall goes up, but a post-drywall inspection may highlight minor issues with house settling and foundation problems.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

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.

Yes, small, superficial cracks are normal as homes settle. Older homes have a higher chance of showing signs of settling through hairline cracks from temperature changes, moisture changes, and soil shifting. However, larger cracks, or discolored cracks from water damage, may signify a bigger problem that requires reparations and preventative measures.
