"

Insulating the exterior walls of our two story, 1700 sq ft house, involved drilling holes between each stud, blowing in insulating material, plugging the holes, spackling over the holes, priming and finally painting the holes.  Two man crew was very efficient in setting up scaffolding and then doing the work described.  We got a chance to see what the insulation looks like inside the wall when the force of the insulation popped out a built-in bookcase that was not secured.  Its a solid blanket of insulation, filling in the entire space.   Very impressive.  The results have been very noticeable.  The house feels more comfortable, and the heater turns on less frequently.  We should have done this years ago. 

Last part of the project was to blow additional insulation into the attic, which went very quickly.  Overall, the project took 2 very long afternoons/evenings to complete.  It makes a mess around the outside of the house, but they did a good job of cleaning up each day.

"Prompt service and good work. The drilled holes in the stucco and the patch work was excellent, can't easily see the patch, if at all in some cases. The only negative is that since they finished after dark, the cleanup wasn't as good as I would have liked."

"American Attic was everything they promised. Met with the owner , Sam, within a day to get a quote for removal of old insulation, rodent control and install of new insulation. He was professional and explained everything in detail of what was work was going to be done and how long it would take. We scheduled within a week at a reasonable price. His crew were neat, organized and finished on time! We were notified of some extra things that were found while they were on the job but were not pressured to have those things done. We recommend American Attic to friends or family and would definitely use them again."

"When Insulation Alliance came, they were very professional. They laid down plastic everywhere in the hallway and the bedroom. They cleaned out the whole attic. They took out the old insulation and put in the new Insulation which was R 44. They cleaned up everything and everything was clean when they left. They also sanitized the attic. You will not be disappointed that you hired."

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

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.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

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.

If you suspect black mold is inside your walls, do not punch a hole in the drywall yourself to look. Call a mold inspection expert to help you. Some signs of a potential black mold infestation inside the wall include an unexplained musty, damp smell. Some people liken it to rotting vegetables. You may smell it most strongly through a wall outlet. If you and your family are experiencing constant coughing or symptoms that feel like an unexplained allergy, it could indicate black mold behind a wall.

Plaster is a pretty tough surface, but it can still sustain damage from things like bumping against it, water issues, dampness, extreme humidity changes, and plain old age. Most plaster walls last hundreds of years and will only be taken down to the base layer when major repairs are required. Being cautious around the wall, not placing furniture against it, and ensuring stable humidity are all great ways to reduce possible damage.
