"We bought a two-story brick house with a walkout basement. The entire basement had to be gutted due to a burst water line and the mold and mildew that developed while the house sat empty - even the ceiling had to come down. Although the walls had been insulated with Fiberglass batts, the rim joist had never been insulated. Lots of air leaks at the rim joist, around the windows and around the fiberglass.  Louisville Spray Foam Insulation sprayed closed-cell foam from the top of the rim joist/band joist all the way down to the basement floor. The difference is truly amazing! Our house sits very close to the road and before the spray foam application you could hear cars coming down the road long before they passed in front of the house ? now I only hear them when they are directly in front of the house and only when I am standing right at a window. The foam seals it up very tight! The basement has a totally new warm cozy feeling with no cold corners or any lingering dampness. It just doesn't feel like a basement at all now. The foam applicators were careful to mask off areas where there might be overspray, like our brick fireplace, floor and stairwell. They did a good job of cleanup when they were done and we were able 

I guess what I take away from this process is this: there is no real comparison between fiberglass and spray foam insulation. They may both use "R-Values" to try to explain how well they insulate, but the difference is so much more. The closed-cell spray foam is not just insulation, it is also a vapor barrier that seals every little space. It can't absorb water or get damp or sag over time. Fiberglass is done, part of history. I could never see myself using it again."

"Estimate was fair and Warm Home was available to do the job two days later so I enlarged my scope to address other needs. Plastic was put down to protect carpets. On completion, I was pleased with the quality of their work and clean-up. Satisfied customer. I'd call them again without hesitation."

"The job went fantastic. They were punctual, professional and affordable. I highly recommend them for basement finishing. They did the framing, electrical, and drywall. My husband and I did all the trim work, wainscoting, and light fixtures. Someone else installed the flooring. They were finished in three weeks time. Unfortunately I could not get my photos past the framing to load."

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

In most cases, no, you won’t need a permit to replace drywall. If you’re changing the floorplan of your home by adding or removing walls during the drywall project, then you might need a permit, but replacement or repairs usually doesn’t require a permit. Your drywall professional should be able to confirm whether or not a permit is required for your project. If it is, it’s likely to add between $50 and $150 to your total cost. Keep in mind that you will need permits if you plan to install new electrical wiring or plumbing lines behind your new drywall.

Beadboard is a decorative element and lacks the structural integrity of drywall. It cannot hold much weight and is not meant to be used as an insulator or moisture barrier, like drywall is. In almost all cases, beadboard is placed over an existing wall surface which, in modern days, is usually drywall, but decades ago could have been wood paneling.

You should stagger drywall sheets to help prevent cracking. The joints between drywall sheets are the weak spots, so if you install drywall with seams aligned, you’ll create weak lines that run across the length of the wall and extend from floor to ceiling. But when you stagger drywall, the solid sections of panels will support the joints. This can prevent seams from cracking or separating due to fluctuating temperature and humidity, vibrations from movement inside the home, and gravity.

The best way to make long, straight cuts is to use a utility knife and a T-square to score the sheet, snap along the score, and then finish the cut by cutting through the paper on the opposite side with the utility knife. If you’re making small cuts, curved cuts, or cutouts for electrical boxes or light fixtures, you can use a manual jab saw to keep costs down, but an electric spiral saw or oscillating multi-tool will get the cleanest, fastest cuts possible.

While it’s most common to sand plaster dry, it is possible to wet-sand plaster, too. Doing so can reduce the amount of plaster dust released into the air and make it easier to work in smaller, more delicate areas (such as around wall trim). However, some people find that wet sanding leads to more imperfections, which is why larger walls are more often dry sanded to ensure an even finish.
