"I called Austin Insulation after checking with a few other local competitors. I figured since my name is Austin, these guys HAVE to be the best around. Rob was able to get the job done today within days of my initial call which was HUGE because everyone else was weeks to months out. I think people are passing Austin Insulation because of the small amount of Google reviews; don't make that mistake. They had the best price and fantastic service, please give them your business"

"Another contractor had moved things around so much, that it botched my previously scheduled insulation appointment with another insulation company. In a panic, I reached out and was properly given an estimate work completed within days. They arrived earlier than first estimated and that was more than welcome. Handled with care and our property was protected and insulated with care."

"We received 2 quotes. Good Sam was our second quote, they came into our home, they put on booties for our floors, actually went up in to the attic and took pictures. They showed us all the area's that were not insulated. They went through the whole process of what needed to be done to create the necessary air flow. We got quite the education. We were not up to code with our insulation. Their pricing was better and they were doing far more than the 1st quote. They were here on a Tuesday, we were done by 11 am Thursday. Cleaned up everything, swept out the garage where they went into the attic. Calling them back in a few months to do a deck!"

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

A 50-pound mirror can be hung on drywall, but only if it has the support of strong hardware. Ideally, you can find the studs behind the drywall and attach the mirror to them; this will give your mirror better stability. Otherwise, confirm that you are using anchors appropriate to the weight of the mirrors. Another technique is to use French cleats—two pieces of wood that fit together, with one piece attached to the wall and the other to the mirror. This allows the weight to be distributed over a wider area.

It’s not a good idea to plaster over broken plaster (unless by broken you’re referring to cracked, in which case that’s perfectly fine). However, broken plaster can be a sign of a larger underlying issue like foundation damage or severe damage to the lath holding up the plaster, so it’s worth investigating before you simply plaster on top of the damage.

If your home was built before the 1940s and was not remodeled in the past 50 or so years, you probably have plaster walls. Aside from assuming, there are some practical ways to tell if you have plaster walls, including the following: If you knock on the wall and it feels solid, not hollow, if you can’t insert a thumbtack easily, if there are cracks that look like spiderwebs, or if your home has curved, arched, or swirled walls, doorways, or window openings.

If you have an unfinished basement or attic, you could examine the backs of any finished walls to check, too.

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.

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.
