"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

Textured walls can increase the value of your home if the style is modern and seen as a desirable feature and not something a prospective buyer would need to remedy. A good example of this is popcorn texture versus Venetian plaster. The plaster wall would add value to your home, whereas the popcorn texture may be something a new buyer would want to remove.

The two most common drywall thicknesses for ceilings are 1/2-inch and 5/8-inch. For most standard residential applications, 1/2-inch drywall is sufficient and widely used. It provides adequate support and is lighter and easier to handle during installation compared to thicker sheets. However, 5/8-inch drywall is often used for specific cases where additional benefits are needed. It is heavier but provides superior sound dampening and fire resistance. You should consider using 5/8-inch drywall for ceilings in commercial buildings, between a garage and a living space, or above a finished basement to meet building codes or for enhanced soundproofing.

While not always necessary, you can glue a drywall ceiling in addition to using screws or nails. Drywall is typically secured to ceiling joists with fasteners, which is often sufficient. However, adding construction adhesive can offer benefits like preventing sagging, bridging gaps, and reducing air leaks for better energy efficiency. It may also be used for specific acoustic or insulation needs. On the other hand, many professionals advise against it because properly placed screws make the drywall structural, glue doesn't add strength, and it makes future repairs or replacements significantly more difficult. Ultimately, it's best to follow local building codes and project-specific requirements to decide if adhesive is right for your ceiling.

Most drywall used for interior walls of homes is 1/2-inch thick. This size strikes a balance of being easy to handle and hang while being thick enough for the durability needed on interior wall applications.

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.
