"We badly needed insulation in our attic. We got three quotes. Weather Shield was not only the most reasonable, but the only company in which the owner both gave us the quote and installed the insulation with colleague. We could not have asked for more professionalism or better service. Would highly recommend Gus."

"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."

"I am very pleased with my new windows. I used Home Genius Exteriors to do my roof, gutter protection, and now Windows. This is an absolute amazing company, my salesman brendan was very helpful, Devan the Project Manager helped make sure everything went smoothly. Walter and Mike also from production were very friendly and professional. And Shawn, the window installer was polite,knowlagable, and efficient. And even cleaned up on his way out. Next on the agenda is to get a new door taken care of. Highly recommend HGE"

"Wonderfully. Ryan was a very knowledgeable pro and gave me an insulation estimate on the same day. He also found an antique Dutch Oven in the attic dating from 1920, so we've gotten an heirloom in the bargain."

"I believe the price was too high for the quality of work. The dry wall that was put up was not a smooth finish. They did not cover up my possessions as they said they would. They did not clean up very well. I found at least 8 nails on the ground & some insulation was left in the garage. Had I not swept the floor I probably would have Gotten a flat tire. They used my ladder & my broom without asking."

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

Drywall insulation costs around $1,800, on average, but prices can range from $500 to $4,500, depending on a few different factors. The following things are important considerations to make when pricing out your insulation project:

  • Square footage of insulation

  • Type of insulation 

  • Climate in your area and the insulation R-value required

  • Whether or not your walls are already finished

  • Accessibility of the area 

  • Whether or not you need old insulation removed first

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.

If you already have plaster walls and ceilings, adding new plaster costs $2 to $10 per square foot. For an average-sized room, that would come out to $1,200 to $10,000. However, the cost to replace plaster with drywall is higher—running between $720 and $1,250 for a 10-by-8-foot wall or ceiling (not including drywall finishing).

Yes, you can speed up the time it takes for plaster to dry, but it's important to do so carefully to avoid issues like cracking or crumbling. Proper ventilation is key; open a window or use a fan to circulate air in the room. Heat can also accelerate drying, but be cautious, as too much heat can cause the plaster to dry too quickly and crack. Check the plaster's packaging for the recommended drying temperature and set the room's thermostat accordingly. While managing humidity is important, avoid using a dehumidifier, which can remove moisture too aggressively and result in crumbly plaster.

You’ll get better results if you soundproof the whole wall. A hole through which light can pass can also let sound waves in. Acoustical or silicone sealant applied to holes and cracks can block enough sound to make a difference. However, the more layers absorb vibrations and slow or stop sound waves, the less noise you’ll have.
