"This was a great experience with a contractor who, quickly made contact, kept me informed of how and when the project be done, showed up on time and kept me aware of any time related issues and did the job professionally and within the time frame projected. The work was exactly what we agreed to and was of sufficient quality that I hired the company for some additional work, painting the spray foam they had just installed, which was done on time and was exactly what they said they would perform. The crew had good customer service skills and were very aware of making sure that I approved of the work they were doing. They were conscious of my property and cleaned up before they left. This was good work. I would highly recommend them for both spray foam and for painting."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with La Familia for my home insulation project, and I couldnâ t be more impressed. From start to finish, they demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a true commitment to quality. The team was incredibly knowledgeable, guiding me through the various insulation options and recommending the best solution for my needs. The installation process was seamless. They arrived on time, worked efficiently, and left the space spotless when they were done. Not only did they improve the comfort of my home, but Iâ ve already noticed a significant reduction in my energy bills. The attention to detail and the quality of their work is truly top-notch. What sets La Familia apart is their dedication to customer satisfaction.

"Not only does the roof look gorgeous it's efficient and quiet! It reduced our electric bill along with being cooler, it much quieter. We went with the insulated metal roofing system, which we would recommend, it takes a bit longer and it's more costly but worth the time and money. Frank and his team are friendly, straight forward, and easy to work with. They were efficient and clean, our neighbors even commented how much they appreciated how well they cleaned up each day to keep our road and driveway clear. We would highly recommend them for any roofing job!"

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

Furring strips, thin strips of wood or metal, are not always required for ceiling drywall installation. If the ceiling surface is even and in good condition, drywall can be directly attached to the ceiling joists using screws. However, furring strips become essential when dealing with irregular surfaces or when additional insulation or soundproofing is needed. They create a level substrate for attaching the drywall. Ultimately, the decision to use furring strips depends on the condition of the existing ceiling and the specific requirements of the project.

Whether you apply the drywall mesh before or after drywall mud depends on the type of patch it is. For self-adhesive patches, you’ll put the patch down first and then coat it with mud. Mesh patches that are not self-adhesive will require you to put mud down first and then press the mesh into it, followed by additional coats of mud.

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.

Drywall insulation costs around $1,800, on average, but prices can range from $500 to $4,500, depending on a few different factors. The following things are important considerations to make when pricing out your insulation project:

  • Square footage of insulation

  • Type of insulation 

  • Climate in your area and the insulation R-value required

  • Whether or not your walls are already finished

  • Accessibility of the area 

  • Whether or not you need old insulation removed first

If you already have plaster walls and ceilings, adding new plaster costs $2 to $10 per square foot. For an average-sized room, that would come out to $1,200 to $10,000. However, the cost to replace plaster with drywall is higher—running between $720 and $1,250 for a 10-by-8-foot wall or ceiling (not including drywall finishing).
