"They were very professional and thorough. They helped us solve multiple issues with mice in attic, poor ventilation and not enough insulation. They replaced the fiberglass insulation with cellulose, air sealed the attic and properly vented the attic. They answered all our questions to our satisfaction and explained the process for the project in detail. Highly recommend!"

"First : I was concerned with the negative reviews .So i contacted them and asked for an explanation ..I was satisfied with what they had to say ..and I thought their honesty was refreshing 
My electric bills were 2 times more than my neighbors 
2) i scheduled a home assessment .. and even though we had a schedule change communictaion was always good 
3) after assessment they suggested $5000 plus in upgrades , but gave no pressure to use their service ..I researched the cost of DYI vs. using them and consulted with Ameren to advise ..I decided Peterson was about 25% more than doing the job myself and was satisfied that was worth not doing the job myself 
4) but I saved a little by doing the easiest job myself ...Insulating  my open basement rim joists 
5) The workers were quick /clean/courteous/and professional ...THEY CLEANED AFTER THEMSELVES !!!
6) Work was complete and I am 100% satisfied 
I have waited a few months to see if my energy costs went down (before reviewing) ... It is hard to accurately quantify savings ...but in comparison to neighbors it seems to have a 35-40% reduction in electric use during warmer months ...That said I would still have a few years to break even with  cost of insulation ...BUT the comfort level in our house was well worth the costs ..We used to have a warm upstairs and used a a/c window unit to keep up ..We no longer need window a/c and everyone is happier and house temps are more moderate on each level 
Final assessment : It was expensive but well worth it and Peterson was a very good provider of advise and services

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

It's generally recommended to hang drywall on the ceiling first before moving on to the walls. This sequence allows the ceiling sheets to provide support for the vertical wall sheets. By attaching the ceiling drywall initially, you establish a solid framework to align and attach the wall panels accurately. This method ensures a seamless and sturdy connection between the ceiling and walls, resulting in a more professional finish.

If you suspect black mold is inside your walls, do not punch a hole in the drywall yourself to look. Call a mold inspection expert to help you. Some signs of a potential black mold infestation inside the wall include an unexplained musty, damp smell. Some people liken it to rotting vegetables. You may smell it most strongly through a wall outlet. If you and your family are experiencing constant coughing or symptoms that feel like an unexplained allergy, it could indicate black mold behind a wall.

There are several benefits to wet-sanding drywall, but the main perk is that it produces far less dust than dry-sanding. As a result, wet-sanding poses fewer health risks and makes less of a mess in your home. Plus, damp sponges are less abrasive than sandpaper, so there’s a smaller chance of scratching or damaging the drywall paper. Wet-sanding also creates a smoother finish than dry-sanding.

Many homeowners choose to install tongue and groove over drywall. The great thing about this type of ceiling is that it hides imperfections. If your drywall is a little bit wonky or has some minor damage, the tongue and groove planks should cover it and give it an even appearance. Installation is simplest if you install battens over the existing framing before installing your tongue and groove planks.

Whether you can reuse a drywall anchor depends on its type, material, and how it is removed. Plastic anchors, such as expansion or self-drilling types, are generally considered single-use because they are designed to expand and are likely to break or become deformed upon removal. Metal anchors, like toggle bolts, are more durable and can often be reused if they are not damaged during extraction. However, with toggle bolts, the toggle mechanism can fall inside the wall when the bolt is removed, making it difficult to retrieve. If an anchor is damaged or must be cut for removal, it cannot be reused regardless of its material.
