"They did a good job, did over spray in one air duct ( we removed for ease of entrance to crawlspace). Made sure I got my 2" of insulation and then a little extra. Overall good experience. Thank you."

"They promptly returned my initial call...came for the consultation...returned with the estimate and began the work within FOUR days!!! (We were lucky they were able to fit us in between some bigger projects they had scheduled) They came at 8:30 AM every morning..(the first morning in the last April snow) and did not leave for other jobs until my porch was done. They built the new north wall and closet....did all the drywall, electrical, floor tile and wood finishing. Perfectly matching the woodwork and closet doors to the rest of my house. From the outside (and inside) it looks like it was original. They were professional, personable, and expertly skilled at all phases of the construction. My cold, open, north facing cement porch has been transformed to a beautiful, functional "Entry Foyer". I can't wait to plan my next project for them!!""

"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."

"Had a water leaking through my roof from Ice dams and damage on whole wall on the west side of my living room.  They had to replace all dry wall, insulation and match the half of my ceiling to the other half that was not damaged.  Also replace a huge 1960 window with 3 new energy  windows.   Great work you would never know that the half of the room had been redone match all the paint and knock down on the ceiling to a tee.  Very knowledgeable, professional and kept me updated on all the process that was going on."

"We have used Golden Rule before and have been impressed with their work. We called and were able to have a new water heater installed the next day. They aren't the cheapest, but they give an estimate upfront and stick to it. They do excellant work.

They wore shoe covers in our house, cleaned up after the work was done and disposed of the old water heater."

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.

A 50-pound mirror can be hung on drywall, but only if it has the support of strong hardware. Ideally, you can find the studs behind the drywall and attach the mirror to them; this will give your mirror better stability. Otherwise, confirm that you are using anchors appropriate to the weight of the mirrors. Another technique is to use French cleats—two pieces of wood that fit together, with one piece attached to the wall and the other to the mirror. This allows the weight to be distributed over a wider area.

You can paint over plaster, but repair any damage to the plaster first, or the paint will crack and bubble. You should also prepare the surface of the plaster to accept paint, which gives your paint job the best chance of looking good and lasting a long time. Before applying the color you want, apply a coat or two of primer. Additionally, use latex paint, and choose a latex paint with a satin finish for areas with dampness, like bathrooms.

You may need to replace drywall because of smoke damage. If the drywall is covered in soot, you may be able to clean it, but it will require a lot of time and effort. You could spend hours cleaning the drywall only to find there is more damage and it needs to be replaced anyway. It’s usually easier and safer to remove the smoke-damaged drywall and replace it.

The two most common drywall thicknesses for ceilings are 1/2-inch and 5/8-inch. For most standard residential applications, 1/2-inch drywall is sufficient and widely used. It provides adequate support and is lighter and easier to handle during installation compared to thicker sheets. However, 5/8-inch drywall is often used for specific cases where additional benefits are needed. It is heavier but provides superior sound dampening and fire resistance. You should consider using 5/8-inch drywall for ceilings in commercial buildings, between a garage and a living space, or above a finished basement to meet building codes or for enhanced soundproofing.
