"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."

"Victor was very thorough, suggesting additional services that I needed but hadn't thought of...namely insulating the water lines in the attic. He not only added the blown-in insulation, but also sealed cracks and replaced or added vertical insulation on skylights and knee walls. All was done at a reasonable price, 25% less than the other bidder."

"I’m extremely satisfied with their service! We hired them to do the clearing and installing for the new insulation in my attic a few months ago. It was very easy to set up an appointment over the phone. Adam, the owner, was very helpful every step of the way. They worked super fast to help install the insulation and disposed of the previous one. Great job and thank you guys!"

"When the initial man came to inform us of options, I knew right away that this is the company I wanted to hire! Very knowledgable from many years of experience. Answered all of our questions . Very professional & EXCELLENT Customer service. One thing we learned is not all Insulation contractors are honest. We learned that our past company (I can't remember their name) did not spray any insulation above our kitchen and the rest of the area was sparse & did not meet standard regulations. 805 Insulation has high standards & price was lower than we expected. We no longer have a draft coming from there! They also insulated the entrance and put in deflectors to direct any outside wind up over the insulation. They are the COMPLETE Package everyone needs to hire!!!!!! Donna D. in Los Osos, CA"

"Adam and his team of workers gave me a great deal on replacing the insulation in the attic. We had a leak in one of the fire alarm sprinklers that caused the insulation to be bad and smelly. 
We spoke to Adam about the problem and he sent his employee (Luis) to come over and check the problem in order to provide us  with a quote.
The quote that Adam was able to give us was very good and we approved the work. He than sent 2 workers to do the job and it was done in 2 days after they had to clean everything in the attic and to try it before they placed the new insulation.

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.

The tool you use to sand plaster will depend on the size of the project. If you’re just working on a small section of your wall to get rid of an uneven spot on the surface, hand-sanding might work. However, for larger projects, a drywall sander can make a huge difference when it comes to both time and elbow grease—and an orbital sander can help for detailed areas such as around ceiling fans.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

Yes, cabinets are installed over drywall. The drywall must be in good condition, and you must ensure that the wall can handle the weight of the cabinets. Secure the cabinets to studs and use proper anchoring devices, like toggle bolts.

You’ll get better results if you soundproof the whole wall. A hole through which light can pass can also let sound waves in. Acoustical or silicone sealant applied to holes and cracks can block enough sound to make a difference. However, the more layers absorb vibrations and slow or stop sound waves, the less noise you’ll have.
