"I had BC Enterprises blow in insulation in my attic. They did an excellent job of blowing in 16 inches of pink insulation. They cleaned up very well and couldn't even tell they were here. They also fixed a couple of leaked around my chimney and one at the back door. I will definitely use them in the future as they are very friendly and do fantastic work!!"
"After putting our project on Home Advisor, we got a call from Tyler from Insulation 360 a few hours later, and got an estimate scheduled for the next day. At the estimate, since they had a flexible working schedule, we found out they could complete our insulation work that same day. Since it was 13 degrees on the day we did this, the insulation was much needed and the speediness was much appreciated. Tyler and his team did a great job on insulating the whole roof space with blown in insulation (including the hard to reach spaces). Their budget friendly prices and customer experience are why weâ d recommend using them for your insulation needs. We already have scheduled more work for them to insulate our unfinished wall spaces!"
"We contacted Angie’s List for recommendations for Blow-in Insulation to refresh older insulation in our attic. Three companies we recommended to us. Two phoned the next day. I never heard from the third. I told both I was gathering information and would call to schedule an estimate. I called and scheduled two companies, including USA Insulation, to come make an estimate. One company called one minute before scheduled and wanted to re-schedule. Chris from USA was on time. We were pleased with his offer and accepted. He scheduled the installation for the next day. William and his helper arrived, set everything up, and went to work. I checked regularly and photographed the attic. When they were through, they thoroughly cleaned the area. We were quite pleased. Shortly after completion, Michael, a company inspector, arrived to check the work. I would give the company an A+."

"When I called, I spoke with the owner Mike and he was very helpful. I explained we had discovered water damage coming in from an occupied basement/bedroom wall and because of mold and health issues, he was here promptly the next day to look at it. We had removed the carpeting and cut away small sections of drywall until we found a foundation crack and a large drill hole with a satellite cable running through it that was not sealed properly. He tested the area to be sure that was where the leak was coming from. He then assured me that the damage looked minimal and should be a simple repair. What a blessing! He also discovered that part of the water erosion issues were being caused by poor downspouts. He called back and e- mailed with a reasonable estimate that day. Due to upcoming rain, he had his crew here doing the job within 2 days. The employees were very polite, professional and thorough. They had to trim out a large shrub and move a lot of gravel because of the landscaping next to the wall. They excavated approx. 24'' down and even with the tight working space...they took care and saved the shrub, repaired the crack, sealed the cable hole and cleaned the area back up. I had such a positive experience and would highly recommend ARW in the future. Thank You!"

"It was a small job. They sealed the vents to the crawlspace, then, since there was already solid insulation panels on the walls, put a vapor/moisture barrier, in the form of a tarp, 4 feet wide and as long needed, completely around the crawlspace. It was then sealed to the walls with "nails" and adhesive. This seals the wood frame of the house from the 'Outside", the ground, which is the floor of the crawlspace. A 20 mil thick, quite heavy, "floor" was installed, also in the form of a tarp, It went up the walls about 3 feet and was taped to the 'tarp" on the walls, using a tape made for this application. The piers were wrapped with the same stuff and taped to seal the inside from the outside. the "floor" is also a vapor/moisture barrier, but, heavy enough to walk on if needed. This basically makes the crawlspace another room, rather than the outside. Our house is one year old and was already getting mold on the floor joists. Since the air in the crawlspace will now be heated in the winter and cooled in the summer, just like the rest of the house, the mold and cold (52 degrees) floors we experienced last winter will hopefully be eliminated. We shall see when dumb winter gets here."
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.
Yes, applying a texture can hide minor imperfections and irregularities in drywall, but it will not cover significant damage like nail marks or screw holes. The best texture depends on the size of the flaws. For minor imperfections, popular choices like orange peel, sand, or popcorn texture are effective. For larger imperfections, you may need a more prominent style, such as a knockdown or trowel finish, to conceal them effectively.
To maintain plaster walls, inspect them regularly for cracks and seal them early. Clean the walls by dusting regularly or using a gentle, damp cloth. It's also important to avoid moisture exposure. Repainting as needed will help maintain the wall's appearance and longevity.
Yes, you can hammer a nail into a wall stud. But before you do, it’s important to confirm that you’re actually nailing into a stud—and not wiring, pipes, or ductwork. To check, find a few more studs in the wall, then measure to make sure they’re either 16 or 24 inches apart.
While every home has its own unique needs, ceiling drywall installation typically follows a staggered or stepped pattern to enhance structural integrity and reduce the visibility of seams. Starting from one corner, sheets are placed perpendicular to the ceiling joists, with the ends of adjacent sheets meeting along the center of the joist. The next row begins with a half sheet, ensuring joints don't align vertically. This alternating pattern, combined with proper taping and mudding, creates a seamless appearance and strengthens the ceiling structure, minimizing the risk of cracks over time.
