Customers say: Quick response

"Since we had squirrel damage on some electrical wiring in the attic, we hired them to first remove the old insulation so the electrician could more easily do the wiring repair. Cost more to remove the old stuff (old and worthless), but it saved $500 on the electrical work bill. After the electrical work was done, they came back and filled in the attic with R49. The guys doing the the removal and installation work were great, and it went quickly and efficiently. Terry was a good guy to work with for estimates and scheduling, and Brian for invoicing. Overall, we are very happy. Wish that work with all home contractors went this well."

"Thermal Home Insulation did blown in insulation, air sealing, and radiant barrier work in my attic. The initial estimate took place quickly after my inquiry, and was very informative. Jim was able to get the job scheduled within 1 week as well, and was able to help me take advantage of a material discount and home energy efficiency program discount as well. The house already does a better job of retaining heat and cold. Thank you for the good work in a very timely manner, and for answering my questions along the way and being flexible. Would recommend to anyone with high energy bills due to their attic space temperature balance."

"I was very pleased with the pricing structure (I compared to 2 other quotes). Jason Montgomery also helped me with an issue in another part of the house at no cost. Thanks. My only request would be a picture of completed work (even from his phone) showing the depth of insulation since I don't climb ladders to attic."

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

Most drywall used for interior walls of homes is 1/2-inch thick. This size strikes a balance of being easy to handle and hang while being thick enough for the durability needed on interior wall applications.

Drywall can be installed directly on ceiling joists. In fact, this method is common in many construction projects. Drywall sheets are attached to the joists using screws, ensuring a secure and stable installation. Before attaching the drywall, it's important to mark the joist locations on the ceiling, allowing for accurate screw placement. Proper spacing between screws and careful taping and mudding of joints are crucial to creating a smooth and flawless ceiling surface. If the joists are in good condition and level, installing drywall directly on them is a practical and efficient approach.

This depends on how much plaster is applied and in how many layers, but a decent estimate is around 150 square feet. If you are applying only two coats on a small wall, there is a chance you may only need one or two gallons for the entire project. If you are plastering a large living room wall with high ceilings, using one of the more involved techniques–like Scagliola–that requires several coats, expect the project materials costs to add up quickly. 

When doing a DIY paint job, it can be tricky to achieve the perfect, straight line between your wall and ceiling. There are several methods, including lining it with painter’s tape and using the “cut in” brush tactic. Some homeowners choose to apply a thin line of caulk to the wall-ceiling seam to create the appearance of a perfect line.

Drywall can be toxic to the environment and to humans in some cases. As drywall breaks down in a landfill and comes in contact with other organic chemicals, it can create hydrogen sulfide gas or leach into the groundwater. Additionally, the CDC recommends methods for controlling the inhalation of drywall dust when handled. While the common ingredients of drywall—gypsum, silica, and mica—are naturally occurring, they can cause irritation in some humans.
