"Tim and Jeff were very fastidious in setting up, cleaning, and making sure the house was in good order when they left . We also had an Aeroseal treatment which followed with James and Connor. It did take some time to set up after the vents were cleaned and blown out, but the application of this polymer to close gaps in lthe galvinized steel ducts was remarkable."

"Everything about Paul and Mindy Peterson and their son Anthony is professional and well done. Mindy came out and gave a thorough report with pictures, never a hard sell. I went with the medium option (not the most expensive with all the bells and whistles and did not go with the basic). She was informative and honest. A family owned local business who works really hard at the integrity of the business. Anthony arrived and so impressed with how they were concerned with the respect of my home. They draped the floors with painters cloth and super duper careful on walls, doors, etc. The job was completed in timely manner and if I had any issues - which I don't , they are the kind of people who want to make it right and would come back in a heartbeat. They are great people and in today's world, it is really hard to find ethical suppliers who also care about the customer. Job well done and HIGHLY recommend. Look no further, they are the real deal."

"I’m a land lord of 72 residential properties and the biggest head ache other than common upkeep was the constant battle with roaches and insects inside the units, I had Triple B come out and put their pest control infused insulation at 10 of my properties and within 3 weeks the tenants were in shock at how affective it was, they went from seeing them everyday to hardly ever, I ended up getting them to do all my units and also my own house, this will be a must at any property I ever purchase, highly suggested for new home owners/buyers"

"The fellows did a great job with this house.  The work is really quite excellent, and they kept us informed with how long it would take, how it was going, and could speak in understandable sentences.  They were polite and they worked very quickly.  
We were amazed and how quickly they did this job, as it was perfect and not at all sloppy, which you easily see in others who are quick and sloppy.  They were anything but.   They cut around several outlets and exterior items on the house and that was done well.  I would definitely recommend to anyone.  We also cannot believe how much WARMER THE BACK OF THE HOUSE is now - especially as it faces NORTH and was quite cold for the last 15 years.  We hope to be able to have them do the rest of the house as we like the insulation put in and the type and quality of siding that was used.  We would recommend most definitely."

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

You can plaster over regular drywall, but it's essential to prepare the surface properly. Before plastering, the drywall should be clean, free of dust, and any loose or peeling paint should be removed. Applying a primer specifically designed for plastering can improve adhesion. Some professionals recommend applying a base coat of plaster or joint compound to create a better surface for the plaster to adhere to. Proper preparation ensures a smooth and durable plaster finish over regular drywall.

Installing or repairing plaster on ceilings differs slightly from performing the same motions on a wall. You’ll apply slightly less plaster to lower the overall weight of the ceiling. Wall texturing is common, whereas most ceilings are smooth plaster. Tough coat plaster is strong, meaning you can use less while retaining a solid surface.

When you are learning how to tape and mud drywall, waiting for things to dry requires a lot of patience. So how long does drywall mud take to dry? On average, it takes about 24 hours. However, it depends on things like the thickness of the mud, as well as the room’s temperature, humidity, and ventilation. Using thin layers of mud in a warm, low-humidity room with good airflow reduces average drying time. You also could speed up drying time by making use of hot drywall mud, which consists of a powder that you mix with water, instead of using pre-mixed mud. 

You should do a little bit of sanding between adding coats of mud. Knock down any ridges or significantly imperfect areas through sanding, which should help you apply the next coat of mud smoothly. If your first coat of mud is pretty smooth after it dries, a quick sanding is all you’ll need. Don’t forget to wipe away any dust after each sanding process.

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.
