"Gus (owner) came out to provide an estimate. He was in the attic for about a half hour looking over the space so that a complete estimate could be provided. Several weeks later Gus came out and added blown in fiberglass insulation which made the area an R-60. While Gus insulated the attic, he took pictures on his cell phone and showed me the completed work."

"We bought a house in January. The house has a finished basement and looked like it only needed repainting. After a considerable amount of drywall repair, we painted. After 4 days, the paint did not dry and we could wipe it off the walls with our fingers. My wife used a digital thermometer to get readings of 37 degrees at the wall and 35 at the floor. We called Assured Energy Solutions and within a couple of days we discovered there was little to no insulation in most areas of the house. The thermal imaging and vacuum test indicated our nearly 6,000 sq. ft. house was practically an open door. Cal and Tony explained what was wrong and how they would make it right. From day one the guys showed up on time and worked feverishly to complete the day's tasks. Through every step of the way, the progress was explained. If we had questions, the workers would stop immediately and with a smile, explain what was wrong and show us the corrective action that was being taken. Sometimes the workers would call to us to show us what they had done. At the end of each day, we got a tour and a thorough explanation of the work completed and what would be next. Each day the furnace ran less and less. We also noticed the house is much quieter and feels warm and cozy. The work was completed on time. We thought the price was very reasonable. The workers were all very friendly, courteous and respectful. We are very happy customers and highly recommend this company."

"This company cares. They put people above profit. I was in a bad situation, after a nasty winter my roof seemed to be disintegrating before my eyes. It went really fast. Then Daryl stepped up to help me out of a difficult situation. Within hours they expedited the crew, and Walter and Lauren ordered materials and made my roof a priority. Now with three days of rain coming I know my house is protected and it looks gorgeous."

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

You can put drywall mud over paint to even out the surface or entirely resurface it. Sand the surface with 280-grit sandpaper, vacuum the debris and dust with a shop vac, and clean it with a slightly damp cloth. Allow the surface to dry. Apply drywall primer, especially if you’re skim-coating an entire wall. Apply the right type of drywall mud over the surface and smooth it with a trowel. Allow the layer to cure fully, then sand it before applying another layer or painting it.

You should leave a gap between drywall sheets because they naturally expand and contract along with the building framing as temperature and humidity change. Most pro drywall installers leave a gap of about ⅛ inch between drywall sheets, allowing the sheets to expand, contract, and shift without cracking or becoming damaged. If you don’t leave enough gaps between slabs, the edges will press against each other when they expand, and the pressure can cause visible cracks.

Regular dusting, occasional repainting, and avoiding harsh scrubbing preserve the finish.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

New plaster must be fully dry and cured before painting. The drying time for plaster ranges from 1 to 4 hours, but the curing process can take more than five days, depending on various factors, including humidity levels, temperature, the amount of plaster used, and airflow in the area. You should always apply primer before painting plaster.
