"A&H Insulation did a fantastic job in our attic. Dustin was prompt, informative, and worked diligently to get the job completed as quickly and efficiently as possible. Would definitely recommend!"
"They did an excellent job. They cleaned up after themselves really well. They explained everything in a way that we could understand. If we had any questions they were willing to answer and be really helpful. There sales person really knew his stuff. They painted the metal roof and the place where we went to pick the colors was really nice. They were really quiet when they were doing the work. They screw in the nails instead of nailing them. Also, they put a insulate liner under the metal roof to make the attic cooler. This helps us save money in utilities, and we have actually seen a difference in the bill."
"They gave me very good service. They made sure to enclose the attic space so the impact on the household was minimal. The personnel were very pleasant to deal with. When I had to have the old insulation removed, they did the work quickly and cleanly. There was no residue in the house. I recommend them highly."

You can usually tell if you have plaster or drywall by touch (plaster is harder, colder, and smoother than drywall) or by tapping on it (drywall sounds hollow, plaster does not). If you still cannot tell, peek under an outlet cover and check the cut edges. The rough edges show the composition of the wall. You will see either drywall (two paper sheets sandwiching gypsum material) or only plaster material (no paper sheets).
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.
There are several things you should not do when installing drywall. Common mistakes include: adding too many screws, over-sanding, not adding backing support, and installing drywall unevenly. You also should avoid screwing into the same place twice, installing Sheetrock with tapered edges on the outside, and making too many joints.
Choose a drill bit that is the size of the screws of the anchors you will use. You aren’t drilling through metal or concrete—hopefully—so any standard twist, wooden or all-purpose drill bit will work fine. It’s also important to have a screwdriver capable of drilling through the drywall and into the stud. The good news is most available drills, even the older ones, can do this with no issue.
While a normal moisture level for drywall is between 5% and 12%, replacement is recommended if you get consistent readings above 17%. At this level, the drywall is likely too compromised by extensive moisture damage to be considered safe. You can replace either the entire sheet or just the affected section. If you are unsure after a visual inspection, it is best to have a contractor or water restoration provider use a professional moisture meter to get an accurate reading.
