Customers say: Super punctual

"The team from McLaughlin Weatherization, who completed the work from my Mass Save Program energy audit to install insulation in my attic was AWESOME! They were a team of 3, who ensured the job got done efficiently and well. Professional, courteous and personable! I was very pleased with how they entered my home, treated my home and me while in it and when they left they even brushed up the very last of any dirt they might have brought in. I cannot rave enough about how great the experience was because I was able to work downstairs and stay out of their way but they definitely went above and beyond in my opinion! I didn't know the front door would get a package of weather stripping too. So while that was nice, the guy in charge of the team of 3 not only removed the old to install the new, the front door closes properly now! I cannot thank you enough for this small act of kindness (even if it was fixed with the new trim) because I had been so worried about my kitties getting out one day because the latch would not catch to keep the door closed. Also, the senior member leading the team demonstrated his years of experience and knowledge and explained everything to me and answered all my questions. I highly recommend this company as a partner for Mass Save and I would personally pay them for any future work needed if not covered by Mass Save."

"Our central air conditioning system failed during the worst heat and humidity streak in more than a decade. When our AC contractor arrived to look at replacing the system, he pointed out that none of our 3 attics were insulated. We called Coleman Spray Foam. The put a highly knowledgeable rep on-site in less than 24 hours. One day later we received and signed their proposal. Crews arrived 2 days later and worked in unbearable heat and humidity in our attics until we had R50 insulation (needed for AC/Heat Pump). I would have them back in a heartbeat and highly recommend them for anyone in need of spray foam insulation."

"Clean Tech Construction was terrific! The team arrived slightly before the scheduled time, removed the old, poorer quality insulation, installed new insulation, including areas that a previous company had not been able to reach, and cleaned up everything before they left for the day. When I initially contacted them about the work, they answered my phone calls within 15 minutes and continued to respond to any calls/questions quickly and politely. I would hire them again in a heartbeat."

"We are beyond pleased with the services provided by Hughes. Their workers were exceptional. They showed up on time, were polite, explained the process as the job progressed, answered all our questions and were extremely respectful of our home. They cleaned up as they went along and were very quiet. This was not an easy job. The slant roof and small space must have made this job all the more challenging because you can't stand up straight. The guys still managed to get it done within the time frame they had committed to and never once complained. The works looks very professional and our home feels so much more comfortable than it was before we insulated."

"MEL did a spray foam insulation of my attic last fall. This was a complex job as it required careful co-ordination with separate HVAC and electrician teams (we were also replacing HVAC, which is located in the attic, and upgrading our electric wiring infrastructure). The MEL team was a blast to work with and did an outstanding job - and I don't use such adjectives freely when describing contractor work around our house. First, Mo went to great lengths to assess our attic and propose the right solution .. for example, during the proposal process, he was the only one out of 5 contractors who crawled into a narrow space in a distant part of the attic to inspect it. Second, the work the team did, was truly first class .. we went from massive ice dams before to literally not a single icicle hanging from the roof last winter! I was also very pleased with the clean-up they did, with two rounds of detail-like vacuuming of the attic. Third, MEL's co-ordination with HVAC and electricians was very effective, in spite of major hiccups with our HVAC contractors. Finally, these guys really understand and live the concept of 'customer focus'; their communication is very professional, and it is not unusual that they respond within an hour! The only weakness I would point out was their carpentry subcontractor (Adilson), who left a small piece of work unfinished and I felt he overcharged us for a minor change order. This spring, I hired MEL again to do a smaller project involving rim joint insulation in the basement. Josue led the project, while Mo was on vacation. The experience was as positive as the attic experience. I would recommend MEL without any reservations."

"Roland did an excellent job. He explained the things I needed and those that I didn't. He was right on time and finished the job in the time he stated. He was very professional and knew what he was doing. If you are looking for a straight shooter without any of the sales frills (and the larger cost) then Sav-On Insulation should be your choice."

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

You can paint over plaster, but repair any damage to the plaster first, or the paint will crack and bubble. You should also prepare the surface of the plaster to accept paint, which gives your paint job the best chance of looking good and lasting a long time. Before applying the color you want, apply a coat or two of primer. Additionally, use latex paint, and choose a latex paint with a satin finish for areas with dampness, like bathrooms.

Yes, a fan can help drywall mud dry faster by improving air circulation and reducing humidity in the room. Drywall mud dries through evaporation, so increasing airflow speeds up this process. However, you should position the fan to blow across the room rather than directly on the wet mud. This helps prevent drying too quickly, which can cause cracking. You should also use a dehumidifier if high humidity is an issue.

Whether to repair or replace water-damaged plaster depends on the scale of the damage. For small, limited areas, you can often perform a repair yourself. If you choose to paint over small patches, ensure the surface is completely dry and apply a coat of antifungal primer first to prevent mold growth. However, simply painting or plastering over the damage is only a temporary solution that doesn't address the core problem. For more extensive or long-term damage, the plaster may be compromised, and there is a risk of mold. In these cases, it is recommended to remove the damaged section of plasterboard and replace it. You may consider hiring a professional for the repair, and it's worth noting that water damage is often covered by home insurance.

It doesn’t matter which way you lay drywall, and you can choose to install it horizontally or vertically depending on the size of the wall and how tall the ceiling is. It’s easier to lay drywall sheets vertically if you have a taller ceiling, but laying sheets horizontally makes it easier to apply joint compound.

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.
