"when they finish the job, they clean up after themselves so there is no mess left behind. The project was top of the line. not only did they show up on time, they finished the project is 35 minutes from time of arrival to departure. I had them insulate the garage and breezeway attic. Very satisfied with the quality of their work and their friendly and courteous performance on the job."

"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"

"After contacting Jace, he came and did an assessment. He sat down and gave us a very fair bid on adding blown in insulation to our attic. We accepted the bid and he and his partner were back in a week’s time. They were very timely on arriving and were finished in their estimated time. They cleaned up the area very good. I highly recommend this company for any insulation needs."

"I have had Art come over and install a Solar Tube in our bathroom, which was awesome and not only do I recommend Art, I recommend Solar Tubes in general!!

We moved into a house recently that has 5 skylights in it, all of them were ancient and energy sieves.  I had Art price up replacing with new energy efficient skylights, with solar blinds to add extra insulation.   I'm so glad I did, as the old skylights were not only in bad shape, and energy inefficient, they had leaks, and were poorly installed.   He put down drop cloths wherever he was working, and you'd never know the guys were there after they left.  Can't ask for much more than that!!

My new Solar Tube, Velux skylights and solar blinds are awesome, and I know they were pricey, but wow...totally worth it."

"Well, the first time the replacement was ordered it was the wrong one, which of course, delayed the installation a week. When it was finally installed I had to pay an additional $850 for code upgrades. This I was not informed of by Home Shield. Then we noticed that there was water on the garage floor and found that the pipe coming in from the wall was leaking at the wall so had to call the plumbing company back out to fix it. They first tried to say it was not their fault but since there wasn't a leak before they installed they did fix it. I have used Home Shield a few times before and never had a problem. Some of the companies they use are not the best so you have to research them before you commit. I have found HS service to be good if you do your homework. At the end of the day I was without hot water for almost 3 weeks but it was do to the plumbing company they sent out."

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

If you’re installing new drywall, you may need to skim coat the drywall first for a smooth finish and to allow the primer to adhere to the wall. It’s only necessary if there are imperfections in your drywall due to issues with the studs or improper drywall installation. If you’re refreshing existing walls, you may want to skim coat if there are imperfections across the wall. As an alternative, you can repair your drywall and sand it for a smooth finish before painting.

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.

Regular inspections, repainting, and avoiding moisture exposure help maintain integrity.

Plaster is denser, harder, and more porous than drywall, so it absorbs moisture differently. This means you’ll often need more prep work, such as thorough sanding, patching, and priming with a high-quality bonding primer. Additionally, you may need more coats of paint to achieve even coverage. While the process takes more time, it helps ensure a durable and professional-looking result.

You should always hang drywall from the top down. Starting at the top makes it easier to create a straight, tight line between the ceiling and the wall. Any gaps that occur will be at the bottom, where they are easier to manage. You can either cut the bottom piece of drywall to fit the remaining space or cover the gap with baseboard trim. Additionally, starting at the top is physically easier, as you won't have to fit the top sheet into a tight space between the lower sheet and the ceiling, or try to balance the upper sheets on the lower ones while securing them.
