"Miguel, with Alpha Insulation, was fantastic to work with. Excellent communication, quality work, and fair prices! Would definitely recommend. If you have any insulation needs, Alpha Insulation is the company to call!"
"Geovany and his team did an amazing job at my house cleaning attic removing all debris lid insulation, sanitizing and air sealing attic, installing new insulation and radiant barrier. Job was done in a clean and professional manner. Team was polite and professional. I would recommend Fibers Insulation to anyone looking to upgrade or replace their insulation or just looking to add radiant barrier to their attic for a cooler more energy efficient home."
"Attic Insulation Labs completed a wall insulation drill and fill at my rental property. The work itself can get pretty messy, drilling so many holes in the drywall and blowing in the cellulose insulation releases a lot of construction dust into the air. However, their workers covered everything really well, set up dust barriers, built a containment hallway with painters plastic and reduced the mess to almost none. They also cleaned very well after they were done. I have only good things to say about them and will strongly recommend them to anyone who's moving in to badly insulated old house."
"The guys did a great job, cleaning up the old insulation and then reinstalling new insulation. They were professional and cleaned up after. I would recommend them."
"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.
"This is the second time we hired Zohar and his people to do remodeling and construction work for us. Last spring he remodeled our master and guest bathrooms and did a great job. This time, the job was much bigger. Zohar worked with us to architect a new kitchen. He is very creative and has seen just about every kind of kitchen, so he gave us a wonderful way to change our kitchen and to open it to our den. He did computer renderings to give us a visual view of his ideas. Sofia, who runs the office, was a wonderful help. She did all of the ordering and scheduling, and even took time on a Saturday to help us shop for counter top granite and back splash tile designs. We were new at it, and her help was greatly appreciated. We ended up with a beautiful new home and an amazing kitchen that my wife and I both love. Zohar is a man of his word, and takes his reputation seriously. Whenever there was an issue, during the long and complex construction period, he had it corrected promptly, and if it was an error on his part, he had it fixed at his own expense. As the job progressed, we did expand the scope in several areas. Zohar and Sofia worked with us and provided us with delta quotes for the extra work. We are thrilled with the end product and the quality of the work that he and his team did. My kudos to Zohar, Sofia, Ruven (foreman), and Nelson who did most of the drywall and painting. I highly recommend Best Builder's Group for any remodeling needs you might have."
"Our recent home remodel was pretty extensive. I knew I wanted to change some things, improve some things, and fix some problems with our house, but I didn't have any idea how to get there. From my initial meetings with Tony, I could tell that he was comfortable with the scope of the project, and that I would be able to work with him through all the challenges that I figured would come with a project of this size. Now that we've finished our project, I can say I'm glad we went with OM Construction. The price was fair, the guys were onsite 6 days a week from start to finish, and the quality of work was very good. During the project, Tony always had a positive attitude, and worked to help us solve a lot of problems with our old house ranging from framing, insulation, electrical, plumbing, doors, and windows. His guys did a good amount of finish work too, including stucco repair, laminate flooring installation, molding installation, drywall/skim coating, and interior and exterior painting. Marcos, Carlos, Josue and Elias were all very respectful while in our house and took extra effort to clean up well at the end of every day. Overall I think the project turned out great, and I'll definitely call Tony the next time I have a project I can't handle on my own."
"Excellent service and good people to work with! Adam was very generous to us when we contact the office and asked for their help with the problem at our house. The insulation had to be replaced based on an inspector requirements. The replacement work took 3 days in a row and the workers did a good job. we will hire them in the future. "
"We obtained estimates and formulated plans with many different contractors/companies to upgrade our very outdated and non-functional 1960’s kitchen. We almost gave up but then we met Danny Gold from the Encino office of Goodfellas Construction. In our initial meeting with Danny he was able to quickly understand our goals, offer solutions, explain in detail “how” tasks would be performed and “why” they needed to be done in a particular manner. In addition to patiently answering our multitude of questions, Danny offered a great deal more information in our meetings and it was quite clear he had our interests and budget as a priority. He has a delightful personality and he gained our trust by being accessible, promptly scheduling the work, quickly addressing issues and being very customer service oriented. His showroom suggestions helped a great deal when we were selecting materials. We started with the kitchen but as we quickly became comfortable with the quality of the work we added other rooms that were in need of repair and updating. Our project turned out to be fairly large, as it ultimately became a kitchen, dining room and powder room upgrade. Daniel was assigned as our project coordinator. He has a keen eye for detail and was responsible for tying up any loose ends and keeping things moving. With the multiple trades involved we were assigned a general contractor, Amir, who expertly choreographed the various tradesmen in order to minimize downtime as much as possible. We were inundated with workers handling, demo, electricity, plumbing, flooring, drywall and painting, cabinets, countertops, etc. but either Daniel, Amir, or both came almost daily to check on the progress of the various teams, address any issues and answer any questions we had. We have an older house and even though the Goodfellas teams are good at what they do, we learned the hard way that unexpected events are not always created for television ratings! During the process we discovered that our foundation was sinking and unstable due to years of water erosion under the house. Fortunately the timing of the kitchen demo was a blessing in that the foundation was accessible for the repairs. Although pretty much unavoidable, it was exasperating to have so many things in progress simultaneously. However, Danny brought in an expert foundation foreman, Shaul, and his team who worked with our general contractor and project coordinator to expedite the necessary repairs to properly secure our foundation, all the while making sure we were pleased with the work that was done. It would be foolish to embark upon a remodeling endeavor and expect that there would be no issues. Some of our plans required adjustments and creative solutions. Some of the work created a need for additional repairs by other tradesmen. With so many people involved, communication between the various independent tradesmen sometimes became challenging especially when the detailed work of one trade affected another. For these reasons, and to coordinate our portion of the project, we found it very important to be involved throughout the process. No matter what the issues, the best part about working with Danny, Daniel, Amir and the entire Goodfellas team has been their responsiveness and willingness to address everything patiently, professionally, and with a sense of humor that has been very much appreciated. Their mission has been our satisfaction and their work (as well as their work ethic) has reflected that mission."
"The price was fair, the work was completed in one day and included removing all our old insulation, cleaning the ductwork, installing new R-35 batting, and an attic fan, and two ultraviolet lights in our HVAC units. I am very pleased with their responsiveness, and with the quality of the work completed. I would definitely hire them again - highly recommended!"
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.
Drying alone can take 1 to 4 hours to dry to the touch per plaster layer, but some types of plaster take several hours longer to dry. However, this doesn’t mean the job is done because plaster doesn’t fully harden until it cures, which can take a few days to a couple of weeks. It may take even longer if you’re building a new, pretty thick plaster wall. Allow the plaster to cure before painting it.
Eco-friendly options reduce environmental impact and often improve indoor air quality.
All plaster walls will crack over time due to normal house settling and expansion and contraction from temperature and moisture changes. Small, thin hairline cracks are generally not serious and are mostly a cosmetic issue. However, larger or more significant cracks can indicate structural problems.
Here's how to tell the difference:
Cosmetic Cracks: Cracks that are 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) or thinner are typically cosmetic.
Structural Cracks: Cracks wider than 0.5 cm, excessive or deep cracks, multiple cracks in the same area, or cracks that span around corners can signify a structural or foundation issue. Cracks along the joints where walls meet the ceiling also warrant attention.
For cracks wider than 0.5 cm, structural repair is needed. If a crack is 2.5 cm (1 inch) or wider, or if you notice any signs of a structural problem, it is best to contact a plaster repair professional to assess the damage.
To maintain plaster walls, inspect them regularly for cracks and seal them early. Clean the walls by dusting regularly or using a gentle, damp cloth. It's also important to avoid moisture exposure. Repainting as needed will help maintain the wall's appearance and longevity.
