"Excellent. The JE Mountain team was professional, timely, and did great work on the timeline they promised. Then cleaned up after themselves. They did both spray and batt insulation for me and I recommend them without reservation. They’ll definitely be my first call for my next project."

"We were remodeling our basement for a rental apartment. While we had all of the drywall removed we decided it would be a good idea to sound proof the area for privacy. I did some research online and found a system and company that sold soundproofing supplies. We completed some of the work but we ran into a time crunch and decided that we needed to hire someone to help us finish. Freeman Insulation and Construction and Insulation replied promptly and was very friendly. They agreed to come out at a time that fit my schedule to go over the project in person. When they came out they were familiar with system and had no problem reviewing the instructions of the supplies I had purchased and even provided me with additional suggestions to improve the performance of the soundproofing that I had not even considered. They came back with a quote that was very reasonable after taking the time to find the best deals in town on the remaining supplies required for the project. They completed their work with no delays. The thing that set this company apart from every one else is when they came by to check up on my project and helped clean up after a messy drywall company (not affiliated with Freeman Insulation and Construction) to help me meet my deadline. This was above and beyond my expectations. Overall their communication was excellent, they were friendly, professional and courteous. The end product was better than I expected and most important, I have a happy wife at the end of the project. A huge thanks goes out to these guys for making this the smoothest part of my project!"

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

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.

Plaster itself has a higher R-value than drywall. However, there are other considerations surrounding plaster and insulation. As a general rule, it's easier to obtain consistency in insulating value and quality when working with drywall rather than plaster. Plaster walls often don't contain any insulation behind the wall covering by design, and careful evaluation is necessary when choosing to add it.

New plaster must be fully dry and cured before painting. The drying time for plaster ranges from 1 to 4 hours, but the curing process can take more than five days, depending on various factors, including humidity levels, temperature, the amount of plaster used, and airflow in the area. You should always apply primer before painting plaster.

You should leave a gap between drywall sheets because they naturally expand and contract along with the building framing as temperature and humidity change. Most pro drywall installers leave a gap of about ⅛ inch between drywall sheets, allowing the sheets to expand, contract, and shift without cracking or becoming damaged. If you don’t leave enough gaps between slabs, the edges will press against each other when they expand, and the pressure can cause visible cracks.

Popular wall textures include orange peel, knockdown, spray sand, and smooth finishes. Orange peel and knockdown are particularly common choices for drywall as they are simple and cost-effective. Orange peel texture has a lightly bumpy surface resembling the skin of an orange, while knockdown (sometimes called knockout) looks like a stucco finish with flattened high spots. In contrast, popcorn texture has fallen out of fashion, partly due to its past association with asbestos and a shift toward more restrained interior design styles.
