"These guys came out right away, gave me a fair price and did the job great ! The toughest part was removing old insulation, getting it out of my house and cleaning it all up. They did all that and sealed up my basement tight ! Using their foam insulation they filled in all gaps. And they did it in one day ! We now notice our house stays a little warmer and no more mice ! Kyle and his crew were fantastic and I recommend them highly. -- Alan B - Sun Prairie"

"Saunders installed a bath exhaust fan and light as well as attic insulation for us. Very professional and efficient - a timely installation, performed very soon after contract was written. Great people to work with and great cleanup after. Highly recommend. Also Home Advisor worked well; contact was made within hours of submission."

"Contacted a few different companies and had two come out to inspect a large crack in the foundation. First company came out and indicated that the foundation had failed and needed piers put in to stablize the foundation. Crawlspace Solutions came in and indicated that they felt there was nothing failing with the foundation and that they could inject the cracks and warranty the work regardless of if there was a larger issue that required piers. Scott was the person that estimated and completed the work. He was extremely responsive and did a very good job of injecting the cracks. When Scott came to quote the work he also offered a price to apply spray foam to the walls and the sill to replace the fiberglass insulation that the previous owner of the house had on the crawlspace walls. Price included in review was to inject 2 cracks and apply the spray foam. Really glad we had the foam insulation put in. Way cleaner, durable and sealed up some areas that the other insulation could not take care of. Scott also spent extra time explaining some other areas to keep an eye out on to help ensure the foundation area is well managed from any further potential issues like down spout discharge locations, hose connections and just general drainage of the property. One of the concerns we had was if we spend all this money on the injection and the foundation ends up needing to have piers put in, how would that impact the warranty. Scott assured us that if any additional settling occurs and the repair fails, they would come back and repair the injected cracks after the foundation was stable."

"
I wasn't sure this would end up to be a good idea but, it turned out a very pleasant experience. They did it all from start to finish. They spent the first day and a half gathering the trash and debris left by the tenants. They must have pulled four trailers worth of mess out to the dump. Then they went through the whole place; removing nails from the walls, doing the patchwork on the plaster and lathe (where we wanted it repaired and pulled out where we wanted drywall replaced), sanding all the spots and removing the mess. Then they started in with the heavy repairs in the putting in a couple of windows and hanging the drywall where needed, they taped off all the walls, fixtures and windows to ready it for paint. After painting and waiting for it to dry; then they started outside clearing out the brush and debris left behind. They also worked to dress up the yard with great ideas like window boxes and fresh flowers! . They did all the paint work inside the house and finished up by touching up the outside paint. They went back through the house last time and shampooed the carpets, cleaned the stove and fridge, and put fresh new chalk in all the needed spots. I know I may not have all the right terminology but, these folks Really saved the day! When they left the place was spotless and the time and money we spent was well worth giving up the headache of that mess to someone else and finding they'd done a great job! Wonderful!"

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

Yes, taping inside corners is a critical step in the drywall installation process.  Properly taping inside corners is essential for achieving a professional look, and an installation that resists cracking and maintains its integrity over time. Taping the corners involves the application of a joint compound along the seam where two drywall pieces meet. This process provides reinforcement, conceals the seam, and prevents future gaps or cracks from developing.

Yes, you can install drywall over plaster, but there are important factors to consider. While it can create a smooth, flat surface, it is often not the best approach. Installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall's thickness, which can cause issues with existing window and door frames that may no longer fit. You might also need to adjust power outlets to keep them accessible. A better, though more expensive, option is to remove the old plaster and lath entirely before installing new drywall. Drywalling directly over plaster seals in the old material, and if any problems arise later, you will need to remove both layers down to the structural beams for repairs. Given the potential complications, this job is best handled by professionals.

Costs depend on damage size, labor rates, and whether additional services like painting are required.

Drywall tape is made of paper, while drywall mesh is made of fiberglass or metal. Drywall mesh patches are suitable for repairing small holes in drywall, while paper drywall tape holds a crease better for corners. You need joint compound to adhere drywall tape to the wall, while mesh patches may be self-adhesive.

Whether you apply the drywall mesh before or after drywall mud depends on the type of patch it is. For self-adhesive patches, you’ll put the patch down first and then coat it with mud. Mesh patches that are not self-adhesive will require you to put mud down first and then press the mesh into it, followed by additional coats of mud.
