"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."

"We had St. Louis Insulation seal and insulate the crawlspace in our one-story 3-bedroom brick home in early December. The existing insulation was probably original from the mid-70s and was falling from the ceiling of the crawlspace, about half already on the floor. SLI provided an estimate and described their procedure -- sealing, not just replacing the rolls of insulation but sealing the floor and walls and vents. They described the timeline for the work. The estimate was pricey, but well in line with other providers of the same service, and it's a one-time job, not an every-20-years job. Ultimately we selected SLI as we were impressed by reviews of their work and by their professionalism and the clarity of their description of the work to be done. They arrived punctually and performed the work very fast, considering the nature of the work (removing all old insulation and all the other debris down there, putting in the new plastic and insulation and foam spray). I was very impressed by their politeness, efficiency, and the cooperation they showed in working together. (They're in the crawlspace and so if they had yelled or even been grumpy with each other, I'd have heard it.) They removed approximately 24 very large stuffed trashbags of old insulation (it's a large crawlspace) and stacked them neatly on the driveway, then put everything in their truck and hauled it away. (That was the first day.) They brought in the supplies of the new work -- holy cow, lots of plastic, tanks for the foam spray etc -- and quickly installed all of it. (That was another half-day.) They supplied photos of the work so that I didn't need to get into the crawlspace to see what they'd done. The work was fully completed within the time they had estimated. And everything they did was cleaned up. I would recommend, without reservation, their work. Great people, very professional, and they clearly have done this enough that they are very well organized. Because the entrance to our crawlspace is in the floor of a bedroom closet, they kept that bedroom closed while they were working, and took everything in and out via a window. It kept any mess localized, so that I did have to do a thorough cleaning of the carpet and all surfaces in the room but it was only one room, and I was cleaning the dust basically -- all their supplies and any trash were totally removed. So A+ on that. One small unforeseen issue was that we have small dogs, and we had not thought about the spray foam and any fumes, and SLI did not think of that either, until the day they were going to do the spray foam. We had to quickly move the dogs to another part of the house, and near a window, where they would be less exposed. (They're pugs so I think the fumes would not be an issue for a larger dog -- we just need to be careful because they're pugs.) If you have small dogs, or pet birds, you will want to consider how to keep them safe during the foam spray. Overall, St. Louis Insulation did a great job. They said exactly what they'd do, and they did it. Considering the nature of the work required (bending or kneeling in a crawlspace, hauling huge bags of old insulation and rolls of plastic while bending or kneeling), I am hugely impressed with the professionalism and with their good-natured attitude. They are very good at what they do."

"He was very knowledgeable and professional. After the audit we received an estimate to correct any areas that were discovered. Unlike what we originally thought our issues were not the windows and doors. The estimate was for $4000 to add insulation to the attic, increase airflow in the attic, install foam insulation around our fireplace and throughout the basement as well as removing the attic fan and adding drywall. 
The price is the estimated price for projects to be completed.

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

Although they have similar applications, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Their primary differences lie in their composition, consistency, and ideal use cases.

Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it thicker than joint compound. It dries quickly and is easy to sand, which makes it ideal for small wall repair projects like filling nail holes or patching minor damage.

Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum. It is primarily used for large-scale projects, such as taping and finishing the seams on newly installed drywall. It tends to shrink more than spackle and can be more difficult to spread.

While both products can be used to fill small depressions and cracks, spackle cannot replace joint compound for taping and mudding new drywall. Conversely, you can often use joint compound for small patching jobs typically done with spackle.

Whether you need a drywall anchor depends on the specifics of your project, particularly what you're hanging and where. You do not need a drywall anchor if you can screw or nail the object directly into a wooden stud, as the wood provides sufficient support and stability. However, if there are no studs in the location where you plan to hang the item, you should use drywall anchors to ensure it is securely supported. For very lightweight objects, like small pictures, adhesive picture hanging strips can be a suitable alternative to anchors.

There are six levels of drywall finish, from 0 to 5, that refer to the amount of work performed during the finishing process.

Level 0: Drywall is hung with no finishing work.

Level 1: Tape is placed over the seams between drywall sheets.

Level 2: A thin layer of mud is applied over the tape and screw holes. This level is common for utility rooms or walls that will be covered.

Level 3: A full coat of mud covers the screw holes and tape, but the surface is not sanded. This is often used in garages.

Level 4: This is the most common finish for visible interior walls. It involves applying two coats of mud over seams and screw holes, with sanding between each coat, creating a smooth surface ready for flat paint.

Level 5: This is a high-end finish for luxury homes. It includes full taping, mudding, and sanding, plus a final skim coat over the entire surface before painting.

When sanding drywall mud, you’re going to create a very fine dust that may contain silica. Silica dust contains crystalline silica, which can cause long-term illnesses for people who inhale it in significant quantities. Wear a mask while sanding drywall. Then dampen a drywall sponge to wipe the dust off the drywall, helping to reduce the amount of dust that may become airborne.

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.
