"Instal insulation . Very friendly, fast and clean. Tech's very professional and as I had to pick up my son from school, I left them alone. They were gone when I got home and every thing was done with no mess."
"I've had ice dams for years. I finally researched it enough to realize it was an insulation problem (I wish I had been smart enough to figure it out sooner). Anyway Speciality Insulation came out and gave me a truly reasonable estimate. The technician found an uninsulated heating pipe, missing batts, in addition to the original find of inadequate insulation. They fixed all of that. I have a room that was perennially cold, it's warm now, no ice dams and I am sure my gas bill will go down. They cleaned up after themselves and were very pleasant people. Very pleasant, efficient and did what they said they could do for an affordable price."

"Sky Line was very flexible with scheduling. Work was competed in a reasonable amount of time. Overall I was very pleased with the work. My heating bill was down this month. Only negative was the amount of insulation materials that the service left. Not just the dust from the drilling of holes, but the fluffy insulation stuff was everywhere. Quite a bit of it. I would warn someone to expect and be prepared for some major clean up."

"Overall, Jim and his crew worked efficiently and long hours (7:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.) When they couldn't figure out how to manage taking the air handler through the crawl space opening, they called Randy. It had to be disassembled, which is one of the positive features of the Amana, and then reassembled on spot.
I am very glad that we had the duct cleaning company also do pest control, because the ACI crew discovered hobo and brown recluse spider carcasses in the crawl space, as well as dried cat urine on the visqueen and in the insulation.
We had not realized how much damage the cat urine had done to the ductwork until the ducts were removed. There were rusted holes and corrosion streaks throughout the ducts!
The first day was spent mostly by removing the old equipment, which apparently had been installed used and incorrectly, ductwork, visqueen, and insulation. They were very concerned about keeping the house clean and tidy. The second day was spent with the installation of the new components and getting it in working order. The crew had to come back an extra day, because they lacked the necessary supplies, such as enough visqueen and insulation, to complete the final steps. The entire crew was friendly and answered both my questions and spoke with my husband, via telephone. Very nice, indeed.
Just today, October 20, Jim came back to show me how to work the thermostat because "replace air filter" scrolled across the screen.
Randy, when showing us the possible equipment to be installed, explained the Avista rebate and tax credit that would be available with the purchase of the new equipment. He is handling the Avista rebate, which is what I call substantial. We haven't received it yet. He also worked with us to make replacing the system more affordable.
As a side note, we did not know at the time of purchase that the seller had purchased the house from a person, who had bought it from a lady who had 13 cats. He flipped the house. We found this information out from neighbors. We didn't notice any cat urine smell because each time we visited the house all the windows and doors were wide open; we attributed it to the fact that that was the way the seller liked living. We have since found urine smell on the walls in many of the closets and near the vents. We have used Nature's Miracle, which seems be helping. There should be house-fax just like carfax. I thought that was what inspectors and real estate agents were supposed to do.
All in all, we are glad that the work is done and that ACI did it and that we found them, and other companies, through Angie's List. Thank you. "
Whether to repair or replace water-damaged plaster depends on the scale of the damage. For small, limited areas, you can often perform a repair yourself. If you choose to paint over small patches, ensure the surface is completely dry and apply a coat of antifungal primer first to prevent mold growth. However, simply painting or plastering over the damage is only a temporary solution that doesn't address the core problem. For more extensive or long-term damage, the plaster may be compromised, and there is a risk of mold. In these cases, it is recommended to remove the damaged section of plasterboard and replace it. You may consider hiring a professional for the repair, and it's worth noting that water damage is often covered by home insurance.
In most cases, plaster repair will improve your home’s energy efficiency because a solid barrier of the insulative material helps keep conditioned air inside your home. Major plaster repair jobs like repairing large cracks or crumbling sections of plaster or applying a skim coat might make a noticeable difference in your heating and cooling bills. Not only can plaster repairs improve efficiency, but they can also reduce strain on your HVAC equipment, potentially saving you money on maintenance and repairs.
Yes, if there is mold in your drywall mud and you then use it to build walls in your house—or if mold develops in your set drywall, like it can in hot and humid areas—it can lead to illness. Mold in your drywall (or other parts of your home) can make existing respiratory conditions or allergies worse, and the effect can be more intense for those who have existing health issues or compromised immune systems.
You can plaster over regular drywall, but it's essential to prepare the surface properly. Before plastering, the drywall should be clean, free of dust, and any loose or peeling paint should be removed. Applying a primer specifically designed for plastering can improve adhesion. Some professionals recommend applying a base coat of plaster or joint compound to create a better surface for the plaster to adhere to. Proper preparation ensures a smooth and durable plaster finish over regular 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.
