"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."

"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."

"The team was on time and very friendly. They explained what they were going to do and got right to work. They laid out materials to cover our belongings in the bedroom as well as the carpet. After they had installed the insulation they patched the holes really well. I won't have to do any extra work! They even vacuumed after they were done which was really appreciated and a sign they care about the quality of the work they complete. I will hire them again in the future to complete more insulation of our attached garage. I would also recommend them to friends and family!"

"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."

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

On average, drywall installation costs around $2,000, with a typical range of $400 to $6,000, including materials and labor. The final price depends on several factors. The most significant is the size of the area, as many contractors charge per square foot. Other cost factors include the complexity of the job (e.g., cutting around multiple windows and doors, corners, or curved walls), accessibility, location, the thickness of the drywall, the height of the room, and the desired level of finish. The level of finish can range from simply hanging the drywall to taping and mudding the seams and painting the walls.

Knowing what causes drywall damage can help stop it before it starts. Here are some of the most common causes of drywall damage: 

  • Water damage from roof leaks or leaky pipes. 

  • Small holes caused by doorknobs, minor accidents, and rodent infestations. 

  • Wall dents stemming from moving furniture and minor accidents. 

  • Wall cracks that form from a settling foundation or seismic activity. 

  • Nail pops from nails and screws in the walls. 

  • Large holes that are caused by accidents with heavy objects, children and pets, or sporting equipment.

You should always hang drywall from the top down. Starting at the top makes it easier to create a straight, tight line between the ceiling and the wall. Any gaps that occur will be at the bottom, where they are easier to manage. You can either cut the bottom piece of drywall to fit the remaining space or cover the gap with baseboard trim. Additionally, starting at the top is physically easier, as you won't have to fit the top sheet into a tight space between the lower sheet and the ceiling, or try to balance the upper sheets on the lower ones while securing them.

A nail in drywall cannot hold very much—usually only a few pounds. A nail in a stud can add support and hold around 20 pounds. If you are trying to hang something heavier, get some help from drywall anchors—toggle bolts are very strong and able to withstand more weight.

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.
