"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."

"On initial inspection, they discovered that our old heat registers were the kind with asbestos (house built in the 60's), so they had to sub out the abatement part of the job. Once abatement was complete, the workers showed up each day at the time they said they would arrive. They were all friendly and professional. They kept everything clean. The took pictures in the attic to show me before, during, and after the work. They explained what they were doing and showed me the new ducting they were installing (quiet ducts) and explained the more "up-to-date" way of putting in the duct work than what we had. After the work was complete, we noted that the furnace ran much quieter (due to new ducting), and it ran WAY less often. The house stayed much warmer while running the furnace much less often. Best of all, our gas bill dropped! Now that we're moving into summer, the house seems to be staying cooler on these warm days. We don't have A/C so we're hoping the new insulation will keep the house cooler as the days continue to warm up. Very happy with the company and all the work they did. I would recommend them!"

"I was impressed I was with the work completed by Attic Shield. From start to finish, the experience was smooth and professional. Even though the company is relatively new, they clearly know their stuff. Justin led the crew and was incredibly courteous, communicative, and knowledgeable throughout the process. They walked me through each step, kept me updated, and made the whole thing stress-free. I appreciated receiving clear before-and-after photos, which gave me full confidence in the quality of their work. Everything was done efficiently and with great attention to detail. This team may be new, but they operate like seasoned pros. They?re organized, take pride in what they do, and they do great work."

"Rafael and the Attic Advisor team were great! Rafael came out to do the free inspection and give us a quote. He was on time, friendly and very knowledgeable about the issues in our attic and what could be done to resolve them. The assessment and estimate were very in-depth, and the price was very reasonable and fair (compared to quotes I got from other companies for the same work). Even before committing to the project, Rafael was very responsive and would take time answer any question I had about the project. The project in my attic called for removing the old insulation, sanitizing, sealing to keep critters and rodents out, replacing old air ducts and installing new insulation. On the day of the project, the Attic Advisor crew was on time, hard working and extremely professional. They were very efficient and thorough, with even the smallest parts of the job, and if I had any questions during the process, they were very polite and happy to answer. I appreciated Attic Advisor’s thorough and complete work. I would highly recommend."

"Great quality work, paid attention to every detail; from laying down plastic to corner guards to cleaning up every last piece of insulation on the ground outside. The owner and his crew, who were his father and family friends were very professional and kind. The best owner and operator business that I would recommend to the next person in line."

"Tyler asked questions and listened to our answers to help us choose the insulation options that made sense for our home. The 3 workers prepared the area to protect our floors and doorways from any damage before they started work. Everyone was professional. Even though they put in a long day everything was cleaned up thoroughly before they left."

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

Certain drywall textures, like sand and sometimes popcorn, can be smoothed by applying skim coats, sanding the walls, or chipping away the texture. However, it’s worth considering removing the texture and starting with a blank canvas. Smoothing textured walls requires a lot of sandpaper and elbow grease and can take longer than just outright removing the texture.

Yes, you can speed up the time it takes for plaster to dry, but it's important to do so carefully to avoid issues like cracking or crumbling. Proper ventilation is key; open a window or use a fan to circulate air in the room. Heat can also accelerate drying, but be cautious, as too much heat can cause the plaster to dry too quickly and crack. Check the plaster's packaging for the recommended drying temperature and set the room's thermostat accordingly. While managing humidity is important, avoid using a dehumidifier, which can remove moisture too aggressively and result in crumbly plaster.

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.

The best way to make long, straight cuts is to use a utility knife and a T-square to score the sheet, snap along the score, and then finish the cut by cutting through the paper on the opposite side with the utility knife. If you’re making small cuts, curved cuts, or cutouts for electrical boxes or light fixtures, you can use a manual jab saw to keep costs down, but an electric spiral saw or oscillating multi-tool will get the cleanest, fastest cuts possible.

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.
