"This work was performed in Groveland, FL, 34736. Capstone Insulation was great. The VP came out, went through the attic, and described the work to be done. This included thermal imaging to find air transfer locations, air sealing between the attic and living spaces, installing baffles over the inside soffit vents, installing and air sealing recessed lighting covers (for fire safety), installing new insulation, and pre- and post-insulation air flow testing. The installation crew was very competent and friendly. They performed the initial air flow test and all the pre-insulation work on day 1. They came back the next day to install the insulation and perform the final air flow test. The VP provided me with a video of the Day 1 work and a video of the final outcome. All of this work was done at a price point that I thought was reasonable (about $2/sq. ft.)."

"Fair price an on-time service. But I should have checked the job..... there were a few spots in the attic that did not get any insulation. (not the garage..... that does not need insulation..... but a few spots over heated space were not covered). But their price was better than other estimates. I also requested the chemical that detracts rats and mice..... I do not know if it was included...... I hope so."

"My house has never been properly insulated and Jeff was very kind he knows my tragic losses and was very comforting and bless me. I told him I would recommend your company to anybody in my neighborhood who has not had insulation like myself. I’ve been here close to 40 years and I will continue to honor your name for quality work and professionalism. That deserves a commercial I recoup my expenses on my commercial with you people."

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

The amount of drywall you need for a 1,000-square-foot basement depends on the ceiling height, angles, number of doors and windows, and more. To find the wall square footage, multiply the width and height of each wall, minus any gaps from windows or doors, and add the totals together. You’ll also need enough drywood nails or screws to install the drywall correctly.

Both plaster and drywall are durable wall finishes, but they differ significantly in installation, cost, performance, and aesthetics.

Installation & Cost: Drywall installation is faster and more affordable, typically costing $1.50 to $3 per square foot. It uses premade sheets, making it a more accessible DIY project. Plastering is a labor-intensive craft that requires specialized skills, pushing costs to $2 to $10 per square foot. It involves applying a wet paste over a lath framework.

Durability & Performance: Plaster is generally more durable, longer-lasting, and provides superior soundproofing. It is also a better insulator, which can help reduce energy costs. Drywall is easier to remove for future renovations.

Aesthetics: Drywall provides a smooth, uniform surface ready for paint or texture. Plaster offers a high-end, naturally textured look that can hide imperfections and is often preferred for achieving a classic or historic aesthetic.

Which is better? The choice depends on your priorities. Drywall is ideal for those prioritizing a lower upfront cost, faster installation, and DIY potential. Plaster is the better option for a higher-end project where durability, soundproofing, and a unique, premium finish are more important than the initial cost.

In most cases, no, you won’t need a permit to replace drywall. If you’re changing the floorplan of your home by adding or removing walls during the drywall project, then you might need a permit, but replacement or repairs usually doesn’t require a permit. Your drywall professional should be able to confirm whether or not a permit is required for your project. If it is, it’s likely to add between $50 and $150 to your total cost. Keep in mind that you will need permits if you plan to install new electrical wiring or plumbing lines behind your new drywall.

The easiest way to cut holes in drywall for electrical boxes is to use a spiral saw with a drywall router bit. Hang the drywall without cutting out a hole for the box, but make sure you measure and mark where the box is located on the wall. Once you screw in the drywall sheet, drill a small hole into the box void, insert the spiral saw bit, and move it around the edge of the box using the inside wall as a guide. You can also use an oscillating multi-tool with an electrical box cutout for fast, professional results.

You should wait at least 24 hours for drywall mud to dry before sanding or applying another coat. However, the exact drying time depends on several factors, including the thickness of the application, room temperature, humidity, and the type of compound used. Thicker layers, or projects in high humidity, may require 48 hours or more. Lightweight compounds tend to dry faster than heavier, all-purpose ones. You'll know the mud is ready when it feels completely dry and firm to the touch and has changed to a consistent light color. Sanding too early can cause smudging or gouges, so patience is essential for a smooth finish.
