"I highly recommend using Reliable Insulation for your home needs. I used them for attic insulation, underfloor insulation, vapor barrier, and putting a screen over the vent in my attic. They were very professional, honest, and hardworking. They did a thorough inspection and estimate and were very honest about what my house needed. They were in constant communication with me about what was going on. They were able to add on a few extra projects like adding a 2nd attic access and putting a screen in the attic. They were careful to lay down tarps to cover the bed and items when they were going to cut drywall, and left my house cleaner than when they came. I would absolutely use Reliable Insulation again!"

"I very much enjoyed my experience with C&S Fencing and Insulation. All my interactions with them were pleasant; their bid was easily the best I got; and when Shawn arrived he got the job done very quickly by himself. I like watching an expert at work, and today was an education in efficiency. Kudos to C&S Fencing and Insulation!"

"They were prompt in following up on my inquiry for quote. I was given a time for when they would be available for the site visit. They showed up when scheduled-inspected my attic for what I needed to do to obtain the suggested R rating. I elected to accept their quote & was scheduled for installation within a week. They showed up on time & work was done in timely manner. They reviewed the pictures of the insulation they blew in -measure tape -I required an average of 10? -due to the settling of the 20 year old insulation that was put in at time my unit was built. The crew was very professional, courteous & respectful. They did a great job and I was pleased with everything & everyone I worked with during this project."

"The owner came down to give us an estimate on what it would take to fix standing water issue in a house we were looking at purchasing. He performed a thorough inspection on what was causing the water to sit in the crawlspace and went over what would be required to keep the moisture and water from affecting the structural integrity of the house. While we did not end up purchasing the home, we greatly appreciated his willingness to come down and do an inspection and give us an estimate. They were recommended by my stepdad who had them do a crawlspace encapsulation on his house. He said they perform first class workmanship and were professional. The owner also came back after the work was finished to ensure that everything was done correctly. Would recommend to anyone needing any work done on their crawlspace."

"Two pros expressed concern about forcing foam or blown insulation into the vaulted ceiling with old bat insulation. The Reed pro offered workable solutions that would meet the goal but unrealistic in their scope."

"Excellent work (cleanup after raccoons, removed old insulation, repaired vents, installed both blown-in and batt new insulation) by great staff. Exceptional cleanup; very hard-working skillful crew. I would highly recommend this company and their billing and construction staff. I plan to hire them to do additional work this fall."

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.

Drywall can be installed directly on ceiling joists. In fact, this method is common in many construction projects. Drywall sheets are attached to the joists using screws, ensuring a secure and stable installation. Before attaching the drywall, it's important to mark the joist locations on the ceiling, allowing for accurate screw placement. Proper spacing between screws and careful taping and mudding of joints are crucial to creating a smooth and flawless ceiling surface. If the joists are in good condition and level, installing drywall directly on them is a practical and efficient approach.

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.

A 50-pound mirror can be hung on drywall, but only if it has the support of strong hardware. Ideally, you can find the studs behind the drywall and attach the mirror to them; this will give your mirror better stability. Otherwise, confirm that you are using anchors appropriate to the weight of the mirrors. Another technique is to use French cleats—two pieces of wood that fit together, with one piece attached to the wall and the other to the mirror. This allows the weight to be distributed over a wider area.

You should leave a gap between drywall sheets because they naturally expand and contract along with the building framing as temperature and humidity change. Most pro drywall installers leave a gap of about ⅛ inch between drywall sheets, allowing the sheets to expand, contract, and shift without cracking or becoming damaged. If you don’t leave enough gaps between slabs, the edges will press against each other when they expand, and the pressure can cause visible cracks.
