Customers say: Super punctual

"We hired McLaughlin & Williams through the MassSave program, which had performed an energy saving audit for our house and made a clear checklist of work to be done that we could confirm with the contractors. We scheduled the job months in advance, but they were flexible when we needed to reschedule at relatively short notice. Jay and his team showed up early the first day, and clearly laid out the work they were going to do, and why. When weather and scheduling issues prevented work on the second day, they sent a double team on the third to make sure everything got done within the scheduled time. In general, the workers took good care. The exterior siding that was removed for injection was cleanly replaced, though some shingles that were already damaged or waterlogged were a little worse off. Despite all the dust that comes with blown cellulose, there were only a few traces inside. They also made sure our cats didn't get out. During the course of the job, they also found that there was already some wall insulation in one section of our house, and only charged us for the work done."

"Rob was a great communicator and his promptness and knowledge were one of the main reasons we went with him over a slightly lower estimate we got. His sons did a good job of doing the work we required, which was messy work, and they left the place in pretty good shape with just some leftover bits of insulation here and there. If I have any additional insulation needs, Calnan would be my first call."

"I would highly recommend John P. Insulation. I got three quotes for my insulation job and they were the most professional during the estimate. They provided pictures of what they were going to do. They fully explained the job and what I should expect. The quote was fast and equal or lass than the others. On the installation day, they arrived when they said they would, covered my floors and completed the work exactly as they said they would. I had them foam seal, blow in insulation, install soffit vents and vent a bathroom fan. You will not be disappointed in the quality."

"I highly recommend Green Way. The folks from Green Way were professional and they delivered high quality work at a great price. The work involved applying foam to exposed roof deck in the attic, and applying blow-in insulation between unexposed roof deck the interior walls. I'm very pleased with the outcome."

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

The average cost to apply a skip-trowel drywall texture to walls is $1.25 to $2.00 per square foot. Ceilings cost slightly more because of the increased difficulty of working overhead. Additional cost factors include any drywall repairs and removal of existing textures or wallpaper.

You should start looking for a drywall installer by choosing a local company with positive online reviews and ratings with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Next, confirm that the professional is properly licensed using Angi’s contractor licensing tool, and ask the installer if they are fully insured. It’s a good idea to ask for recent customer references and call them to get their honest opinion about the contractor and their work. You can also ask the installer if they guarantee their work or provide a workmanship warranty.

You can technically just paint over hairline cracks in plaster since these cracks are often harmless, but this will mostly be a waste of paint. Paint will only hide the hairline crack for a few months before it shows up again. The best solution is to repair the crack with flexible filler or joint compound before repainting.

Costs depend on damage extent of damage, labor, finishing, and whether mold remediation is needed.

You can put certain types of plaster over other types, but doing so isn't always the best idea. For example, putting a coat of gypsum over lime plaster is possible, but doing so will limit the lime plaster's breathability and potentially affect its performance.

Since cement plaster tends to leave a textured surface, no matter how much you smooth it, some people prefer to use gypsum plaster as a topcoat over cement plaster, creating a smoother surface.
