"This is the second time I have hired L&L. They work fast, clean, and they know their stuff. I was wanting to insulate my vaulted ceiling that I suspected had very little insulation in it from the house being built 30 years ago. Other contractors wanted to rip all the drywall down to install but L&L said they could do a packed insulation that would warm the space and be air tight to avoid condensation issues. I have noticed a huge difference and at a fraction of the cost of others. I already have them lined up for another insulation project in the basement."

"I was very pleasantly surprised when they showed up the said I didn't need to do a whole insulation. Only needed to add to some corners that was missing insulation for about $150."

"A pleasure to work with. Communication was great. The crew arrived on time, were professional, and wore masks. We insulated the ceiling of our garage so the bedroom above would be more comfortable and it has made a dramatic difference! When the crew arrived they moved my trash cans from the end of the driveway so they could get their truck in the drive. Unfortunately, the cans were not moved back in time and it caused us to miss the normal trash day pickup. They acknowledged it was their fault and went above beyond to make it right- they picked EVERYTHING out of our full tote and took it to the dump so I had an empty tote for the next week. I really appreciated the kind gesture. L&L Home Solutions is an honest company with a wonderful crew- I highly recommend."

"The installers were careful, courteous, & thorough. They left the premises clean & uncluttered. I can't wait to see the difference in our heating bill. They installed spray foam in the rim joist, a small ceiling in the basement & the walls in a crawl space."

"Well, the first time the replacement was ordered it was the wrong one, which of course, delayed the installation a week. When it was finally installed I had to pay an additional $850 for code upgrades. This I was not informed of by Home Shield. Then we noticed that there was water on the garage floor and found that the pipe coming in from the wall was leaking at the wall so had to call the plumbing company back out to fix it. They first tried to say it was not their fault but since there wasn't a leak before they installed they did fix it. I have used Home Shield a few times before and never had a problem. Some of the companies they use are not the best so you have to research them before you commit. I have found HS service to be good if you do your homework. At the end of the day I was without hot water for almost 3 weeks but it was do to the plumbing company they sent out."

Drywall Insulation FAQs, answered by experts

There are some instances when you can use extra drywall in your garden. Ideally, unused scraps of new drywall are best for amending soil without the concern of additional chemicals or mold. However, drywall with paint, mold, or potential asbestos requires specialized disposal by a professional and should be kept out of your garden.

Yes, a fan can help drywall mud dry faster by improving air circulation and reducing humidity in the room. Drywall mud dries through evaporation, so increasing airflow speeds up this process. However, you should position the fan to blow across the room rather than directly on the wet mud. This helps prevent drying too quickly, which can cause cracking. You should also use a dehumidifier if high humidity is an issue.

You can repair plaster ceilings yourself after the cause of the ceiling damage has been addressed. However, the repair can easily take 5 hours and can be slightly challenging for those without previous experience. If you do decide to flex your DIY muscle, have a helper to help hold the ladder and pass you the tools for safety purposes.

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.

Venetian plaster is a highly durable wall finish that becomes a rock-like substance once dried, making it last longer than most other wall finishes. Its lifespan can range from decades to centuries, potentially lasting a lifetime. Key factors influencing its longevity include the quality of the initial application, whether it's properly sealed against moisture, and how the wall is maintained and treated (e.g., how often it is touched or bumped). Due to its mineral content, it can also develop a patina over time.
