"Working with Vortex was a great experience. The crew was totally professional and very experienced and did an excellent job spraying closed cell insulation in the new addition to our house. When they were done the job site was left totally spotless. Their prices are very reasonable/competitive. We are very pleased with the work they did and how easy it was to work with them. We will certainly use them again in the future."

"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."

"I was extremely impressed with the service provided by Air Sharks, who replaced my aging furnace and damaged heat ducts. Elizabeth provided a detailed explanation in a friendly, professional and understandable way. Pricing seemed reasonable, and was 25% below a previous estimate. Daniel and his crew did a fantastic job removing and replacing the new furnace and the duct system in a very tight crawl space. They left the furnace looking absolutely beautiful and clean. I highly recommend them"

Drywall Insulation FAQs, answered by experts

When you are learning how to tape and mud drywall, waiting for things to dry requires a lot of patience. So how long does drywall mud take to dry? On average, it takes about 24 hours. However, it depends on things like the thickness of the mud, as well as the room’s temperature, humidity, and ventilation. Using thin layers of mud in a warm, low-humidity room with good airflow reduces average drying time. You also could speed up drying time by making use of hot drywall mud, which consists of a powder that you mix with water, instead of using pre-mixed mud. 

How you hang the drywall can affect the finishing process. It's often easier to finish horizontal drywall panels, as the seams run across the wall rather than up and down. Standard drywall panels are 48 inches wide, so the seam is easy to reach without bending down or stretching your arms.

Small patches can be DIY, but professionals handle large-scale repairs with seamless results.

While it’s most common to sand plaster dry, it is possible to wet-sand plaster, too. Doing so can reduce the amount of plaster dust released into the air and make it easier to work in smaller, more delicate areas (such as around wall trim). However, some people find that wet sanding leads to more imperfections, which is why larger walls are more often dry sanded to ensure an even finish.

Depending on the place where the cutting error occurred, you may be able to fix it. Learning how to patch a hole in drywall is challenging, but if you can tape and mud drywall, you can do it. Having said that, patching is time consuming. Early in the installation process, you may find that it’s easier and far less time consuming to just start over with a new sheet of drywall, cutting a new hole in the right spot. You may be able to use part of the incorrectly cut piece elsewhere, so it’s not completely wasted.
