"These guys did a really excellent job. Completely insulated an overhanging window wall in our front bedroom which had not been insulated by the builder! Sealed it off in the basement so none leaked out onto our floor. Also completely cleaned up all their mess. I was really impressed with them, would gladly hire them again if we ever need more insulation."
"Ron Stead was very friendly and professional on the phone when I talked to him. His son who came out to do the inspection was very knowledgeable and informative. The 2 guys that were sent out to do the insulation were professional, courteous, cleaned up after themselves, and very friendly. I cannot recommend this company enough. They were the lowest quote and by far the best value!"
"DANA Insulation had my attic insulated with blown-in cellulose. Prior to the insulating my attic, my bedroom upstairs felt like a sauna and I always had a miserable time sleeping. I noticed a huge difference and I can now sleep comfortably in the hot summer nights. The crew did a superb job and was very kind to answer my all the curious questions."
"Could not ask for a better experience with a home project. The two young men sent to do the work were most courteous, on-time, professional and thorough in their work keeping us informed of each action and approx. timeline. These young men, and the services performed, truly reflect the service commitment of the owners to their customers like us! We are most pleased with the work and look forward to further benefitting from the work with our insulation needs. Would rehire, if needed. Would, sans hesitation or equivocation highly recommend this service provider - BlownInsulation.comm"
"I spoke with Dan (owner) at Dust Busters who was very professional & honest. He provided a quote, but then explained that it may be less expensive to replace the air duct run rather than replace due to environmental concerns. He provided referrals to other reputable vendors to help. In my experience, he is an honest person who will do what's best for his prospective customers."
"Aarons crew spray foam insulated my garage and did a great job. Spray foam on walls and ceiling has made our garage much more comfortable as well as our mud room connected to the garage. 5 stars to TLC from our family"
Most repairs take 1-3 days, depending on drying times for joint compound and paint touch-ups.
Yes, even if you’re being careful, removing tile can damage your drywall to some degree. However, you can minimize the damage done to it by eliminating a majority of the grout and taking your time prying each tile off. Also, it's worth noting that you might have more drywall damages to deal with if your tile is set into the mortar.
It’s highly recommended to use studs for a TV mount. The last thing you want is to be watching your favorite show when the TV falls off the wall. Studs are much stronger than drywall and quite a bit stronger than drywall anchors but, if you can’t find the studs or there simply aren’t any where you need them, you can use drywall anchors. It’s extremely important to make sure the anchors are rated for the load of the TV. We recommend using anchors that are rated far beyond the weight of whatever you’re hanging. Our suggestion is metal drywall toggle anchors.
Wall anchors are suitable for drywall and plaster walls, which are common in most homes. However, different wall materials may require specialized anchors. For concrete or masonry walls, you'd typically use concrete anchors. When dealing with other wall types, such as brick or tile, specific anchors designed for those materials may be necessary. Always consult with a hardware specialist or check the manufacturer's recommendations to ensure you select the appropriate anchors for your specific wall type.
You can plaster over regular drywall, but it's essential to prepare the surface properly. Before plastering, the drywall should be clean, free of dust, and any loose or peeling paint should be removed. Applying a primer specifically designed for plastering can improve adhesion. Some professionals recommend applying a base coat of plaster or joint compound to create a better surface for the plaster to adhere to. Proper preparation ensures a smooth and durable plaster finish over regular drywall.
