"It is rare these days to find a great company with good values. This is one of those instances; I cannot say enough, good things about the professionalism of the employees at the office and those that showed up on site to install wall insulation. They showed up at the beginning of the two hour window, which was fantastic and explained everything with upfront pricing. We even asked for additional insulation and they were able to accommodate. Our home walls are now insulated and we even noticed a difference right away. From the time of arrival to completion they were nothing but exemplary. Thanks again for running an honest and professional team! Highly recommend to anyone out there looking to insulate your home!!! Notability, they were well below other companies on pricing too!!!"
"Attic Insulation Lab worked at my house adding insulation to the walls in the garage and covered them with drywall. Their price was within our budget and we heard good things about them as well. Eran and his team of 3 additional workers did the whole job and they worked each day till they finished it. The office personal were good too. They were very flex with us in regards to the work hours and days. We do recommend this company and mainly Eran."
"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."
"They were very professional & very knowledgeable. Straight forward about the service needed and provided. After they serviced our furnace we took them up on their recommendation to properly insulate the attic, sanitize and seal. Happy with service and they really tried to work with us and our budget as much as possible. Will def hire them back and would def recommend."
"My insulation project was more difficult than is typicaly expected, access to far corners of previous insulated attic. 805's crew was successful in insulationing previous overlooked area's. I am experiencing 4 - 5 degrees more warmth this winter reducing my heating costs 15 -20%. John S. SIMENZ & COMPANY CONTRACTING SERVICES INC."
"Joseph and his team were all so helpful and educated. My home was very hot upstairs even with the AC on. After E&E Insulation finished attic cleaning and installing R38 insulation I feel such a big difference in the temperature. The temperature stays the same throughout the whole home. I don’t have to have my AC blasting all day anymore. They saved me so much money on my energy bills. Thank you for everything!"
"Me and my husband live in a condo in Los Angeles. About 6 months ago the neighbors upstairs rented their condo. The new neighbors are a family with two kids who are very sweet, but like to wake up early and throw stuff on each other. (At least thatâ s what itâ s sounds likeâ ¦) we talked to a few different contractors, most have offered us to inject insulation to the ceiling. We tried it, as it was not expensive, but, this did almost nothing. My husband who has very light sleep kept waking up every day at 5, what made our life very difficult. We did some due diligence and realized we need a much serious approach. When we talked to Eli at ELM, we understood right away thisbis the right contractor for us. His level of knowledge exceeded everyone else's, and he was wiling to make everything as clear as possible for us. The price wasnâ t cheap, as the construction included demo, installation of many materials and even lowering the ceiling. The project took about 2 weeks and we could see the difference right away. We could barely hear any thing!! What a huge difference! The crew were cleaning after every day of work and were very professional. I highly recommend ELM (make sure Eli is meeting youâ ¦.) for every Sound Proofing project. Thank you Eli (and pedro!)"
"This business is great to work with! They showed up early and got right to work. They laid down protective plastic as we have blown insulation that gets everywhere. They installed attic and subfloor. I thought they would be here all day. They were down in about 3 hours. Quality work, professional and very informative and clean!"

There are several benefits to wet-sanding drywall, but the main perk is that it produces far less dust than dry-sanding. As a result, wet-sanding poses fewer health risks and makes less of a mess in your home. Plus, damp sponges are less abrasive than sandpaper, so there’s a smaller chance of scratching or damaging the drywall paper. Wet-sanding also creates a smoother finish than dry-sanding.
The easiest way to remove texture from walls is the soak-and-scrape method. You’ll need to spray a section of the wall with water and let the water soak in and soften the texture. Then, you need to scrape the texture off using a drywall taping knife. This method works best with unpainted walls since paint prevents water from saturating the textured joint compound.
If your home was built before the 1940s and was not remodeled in the past 50 or so years, you probably have plaster walls. Aside from assuming, there are some practical ways to tell if you have plaster walls, including the following: If you knock on the wall and it feels solid, not hollow, if you can’t insert a thumbtack easily, if there are cracks that look like spiderwebs, or if your home has curved, arched, or swirled walls, doorways, or window openings.
If you have an unfinished basement or attic, you could examine the backs of any finished walls to check, too.
Although they have similar applications, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Their primary differences lie in their composition, consistency, and ideal use cases.
Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it thicker than joint compound. It dries quickly and is easy to sand, which makes it ideal for small wall repair projects like filling nail holes or patching minor damage.
Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum. It is primarily used for large-scale projects, such as taping and finishing the seams on newly installed drywall. It tends to shrink more than spackle and can be more difficult to spread.
While both products can be used to fill small depressions and cracks, spackle cannot replace joint compound for taping and mudding new drywall. Conversely, you can often use joint compound for small patching jobs typically done with spackle.
Costs range from $500 to $5,000, depending on damage size, labor, and finishing requirements.
