"** This review is posted on behalf of my friend who recently used their service ** I can't say enough good things about Rich, Conrad, and his entire crew. First and foremost, these guys are 100% professionals. Do not overlook professionalism. I received other quotes from people who were either unwilling to do the full spectrum of work requested or not thorough in the initial review. We recently moved into a 1920s home that had old and brittle insulation laid around knob-and-tube wiring. So not only was the attic insulation ineffective, it also presented itself as a fire hazard. To make matters worse, there was a relatively inaccessible portion of the attic (i.e. access through a child-sized square cutout) they'd have to work their way into. At the very day/time of the appointment, Rich had already gotten to the house early (let in by our floor guy) and already ventured up into that tiny crawl space in the attic to assess the work. He made all of his notes and took photos before I even realized he was there. Keep in mind, insulators from other companies did not even bother to poke their heads into that space. When I mentioned what our ideal timeline was, Rich said that if they couldn't fit the work into our schedule, they would refer us to other companies they trust. Needless to say, I was impressed by his honesty. After receiving a quote via email from Conrad - who is on top of everything with phone and email communications and reminders - we decided that they were worth the three weeks wait. I signed the quote and we agreed on a start date. Conrad sent a reminder email a few days before the work was to start. The guys came on time and worked all day to remove the old crumbled insulation. By the end of the day, they were covered in black fiber/soot. They found all types of things around the attic that we weren't aware of - head boards, window screens, lumber, etc. They even removed most of the junk for us. A week later (after we brought in the electricians to update the wiring), they came back to lay the insulation batts, apply the batts to the walls where stated, air seal openings, and create a seal for the attic crawl space access cutout). They were able to complete the job over the course of a full day (9am to 7pm). They are professional, honest, thorough, responsive (emails were always returned timely and in that one week away, Rich returned my call to answer an insulation question), always on time, fairly priced (better, even), and skilled. And on top of everything else, the whole crew was fun to talk to. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I would recommend them as your #1 choice for your insulation needs."

"They were fantastic! From Elaine who took my call to Eric who came to the house, the professionalism, courtesy, responsiveness and service I got from Diamond was top notch. On one of the hottest days of the summer when our A/C went out (naturally), they went out of their way to get to me ASAP. Then when Eric came to do the service call, he was efficient and thorough and very clear about what he was doing and why. 
I couldn't recommend this company more.

"Very good customer service. They were able to install insulation into an area in my attic that had no insulation within hours of giving me an estimate. The business owner was honest by letting me know that I didn t need it in my entire attic but just in one area. They were very neat and clean and took pride in their work."

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

You should wait at least 24 hours for drywall mud to dry before sanding or applying another coat. However, the exact drying time depends on several factors, including the thickness of the application, room temperature, humidity, and the type of compound used. Thicker layers, or projects in high humidity, may require 48 hours or more. Lightweight compounds tend to dry faster than heavier, all-purpose ones. You'll know the mud is ready when it feels completely dry and firm to the touch and has changed to a consistent light color. Sanding too early can cause smudging or gouges, so patience is essential for a smooth finish.

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.

You can take a few steps to save money on drywall installation, even when hiring a professional to do the bulk of the work for you. These ideas include the following:

  • Buy the drywall and other materials yourself to avoid product markup and delivery fees

  • Ask about discounts if you use the same company to tape, spackle, and paint

  • Hire drywall professionals in the winter when demand is the lowest

  • DIY as many parts of the project as possible, like replacing insulation and painting

While not always necessary, you can glue a drywall ceiling in addition to using screws or nails. Drywall is typically secured to ceiling joists with fasteners, which is often sufficient. However, adding construction adhesive can offer benefits like preventing sagging, bridging gaps, and reducing air leaks for better energy efficiency. It may also be used for specific acoustic or insulation needs. On the other hand, many professionals advise against it because properly placed screws make the drywall structural, glue doesn't add strength, and it makes future repairs or replacements significantly more difficult. Ultimately, it's best to follow local building codes and project-specific requirements to decide if adhesive is right for your ceiling.

While certain types of textured walls can seem dated (looking at you, popcorn), textured walls are a common sight in both older and more modern homes. The main reason textured walls may be here to stay is that they are an excellent way to hide minor imperfections on a wall and give it a finished appearance. Some homeowners think a coat of paint on drywall is a bit industrial-looking. However, that look works perfectly in modern home design
