"I hired Eagle Insulation to come out and give me an Inspection. They were highly recommended to me and boy they did not disappoint. Dustin is very passionate about what he does, and it shows. Dustin deployed his crew on a Friday thinking it would be one day job, I had a few concerns and he came out with the crew next day "Saturday" and stayed until I was happy. 6pm Saturday evening. I really hope Dustin, Justin and Eagle are successful, hard to find honest people like them anymore around. C. Broussard"
"Insul Pro Solutions visited our house and made recommendations for the insulation type and installation method.
The work was done in 1 day with excellent results. We have had issues with our house losing heat in cold weather. It is currently in the 30s and we have only lost 4 degrees in 48 hours vs 10 degrees in 12 hours before installation. Additionally, our garage is maintaining temperature after insulating the ceiling.
They were efficient, economical and timely. I would hire them again to do my insulation."

"They were unable to do the actual insulation work I needed but did use them to add additional insulation in the attic- they did a good job on that. I based my rating on that work even though they had assured me that they could do the original work after phone conversations and photos."
"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."
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.
Which style of corner bead you choose—whether metal or paper-faced—depends on your preference and if you’re comfortable using metal-cutting tools and a hammer. Metal bead offers superior strength and durability but its installation is slightly more involved. We’d say for most cases, it’s better to use metal bead but if you’re not comfortable working with metal, paper-faced bead will work just fine.
Depending on the place where the cutting error occurred, you may be able to fix it. Learning how to patch a hole in drywall is challenging, but if you can tape and mud drywall, you can do it. Having said that, patching is time consuming. Early in the installation process, you may find that it’s easier and far less time consuming to just start over with a new sheet of drywall, cutting a new hole in the right spot. You may be able to use part of the incorrectly cut piece elsewhere, so it’s not completely wasted.
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.
The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.
