"Knowledgeable, hardworking, friendly and professional folks. They did a terrific job with our added attic insulation and explained each step. Also answered all my questions and sent photos of the work. Cleaned up afterwards too."
"I wish you'd listed the work category correctly. I asked for (and got) blown fiberglass insulation. But my real recommnendation will be available once I've seen how well the new insulation works."
"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"
"Fast and efficient and cleaned up when finished. Showed us pic's as work progressed so we could see the space after old insulation removed, and after new foan insulation was installed showing even application and depth."
"From the consultant, Joe, to the five men that came to my home, I was impressed with the professionalism and respect for my home. Tyler,Jake, Chuck, Dustin and Scott made sure everything was installed with exceptional precision and attention to detail. It took a full day to accomplish. They arrived on time, and cleaned up afterwards throughout my home and garage. Protective covering on their feet with additional protective materials on my floors and walls were used. Their care and respect went above and beyond. The product is eco friendly, fire retardant and mold resistant. And my home is warm and cozy. Removing all the old and filthy insulation that is 37+years old and leaving my attic space and foundation areas sealed and cleaned just makes everything feel buttoned up and tight. Highly recommend! Special shout out to Makaila and Katie, office personnel that kept in touch and applied for eligible rebates to help keep costs down as well. Thank you!"
"They made my bathroom easier and safe for me. They were a pkeasent company to work with and the installation crew were the greatest, they were on time, very conscious of there work which was outstanding, they were very hard workers. No complaints on them at all, and I would have them come back for another job anytime"
"I hired Zebra Insulation to add 12 inches of insulation to our attic. The crew was very respectful, they showed up on time and cleaned up their mess when they were done. The whole process was seamless. I was glad that they took the time to explain why i was experiencing areas of inconsistent temperature through-out my home. They provided the best solution to fix the temperature issues I was experiencing. I highly recommend Zebra Insulation."
Furring strips, thin strips of wood or metal, are not always required for ceiling drywall installation. If the ceiling surface is even and in good condition, drywall can be directly attached to the ceiling joists using screws. However, furring strips become essential when dealing with irregular surfaces or when additional insulation or soundproofing is needed. They create a level substrate for attaching the drywall. Ultimately, the decision to use furring strips depends on the condition of the existing ceiling and the specific requirements of the project.
Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.
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.
The cost to skim coat drywall is $1.15 to $1.35 per square foot. Most of the cost is labor, for the necessary skills to apply the skim coat with precision using high-quality tools. This is a job better left to the professionals for the best outcomes.
You may need to replace drywall because of smoke damage. If the drywall is covered in soot, you may be able to clean it, but it will require a lot of time and effort. You could spend hours cleaning the drywall only to find there is more damage and it needs to be replaced anyway. It’s usually easier and safer to remove the smoke-damaged drywall and replace it.
