"From the initial interaction through sweeping up - the insulation inc team were thorough in explaining their bid, the cellulose insulation product- and the process. They showed up on time - blew our garage attic and left the garage clean."
"Exactly as the same as the first time I air sealed my attic in my previous house. Last year when we decided to sell our house I was inspecting my house as I would have if I was purchasing it. I noticed a small (1/4") gap between the master bathroom vent fan grill and the ceiling. I could not adjust it. Upon further inspection I realize it was because the foam that was installed when my attic was air sealed had expanded creating the 1/4" gap. I had that work done two years prior by Houle Insulation. I contacted Arne and inquired if he had any suggestions. His only suggestion was that he would correct the problem. Two days later he had two workers in my attic correcting the issue. Just like the first time, they were prompt and cleaned up after the work. I offered to pay, he would not have it. He said he should have noticed when the job was originally completed two years prior. There was no discussion or haggling, he simply said he would correct it. As impressed as I was with the lower energy bill, I was more impressed with how he and his team comported themselves. Also my house was more comfortable because the temperature was more uniform within my house. This year when we moved into our new house, built in 1992, the first thing I did was call Arne to air seal the attic. My choice of whom to hire for air sealing my attic was a no brainer, Houle Insulation. They also performed a blower door test. They also sent in all the information required for me to receive an energy rebate from my utility company. The best recommendation I can make is that when I decided to air seal our new home the first person I called was Arne. He made a wise decision to correct what needed with correcting without any questions. He did what should have been done, and therefore he got my repeat business and I was happy to give my business to him!"
"The pricing was very reasonable. I had my attic insulated. The blown in insulation took less than an hour. They were very friendly. I would use this company again for future work."
"We needed an inspection by a knowledgable pro with ventilation and insulation. We got great information back on what is causing some issues and how we can address it. Because they were so helpful and honest (without a hard sell), I will be using them again."
"We had a small job, just adding a foot of insulation over about 2000 square feet. USA insulation scheduled my job in conjunction with other work, so that it could be done economically. The work was done quickly and efficiently."
"Aaron was so helpful from the get go. We had two other attic insulation companies assess our issues when we had mold and water damage along the outside joists of the house. He was very knowledgeable and through and got the the causes of the issue. eRoof cleared out the plugged up soffets, sealed them, put in the needed baffling, and brought the blown in insulation up to the new code. Aaron had connections and we were able to get very efficient peers of his to do the mold removal, dry wall replacement, and painting. I would highly recommend this company and Aaron in particular. He was available to answer questions and help me think through this complex project."
"We’ve had a great experience working with this company on several projects. They’ve completed batt insulation, spray foam, and blown-in insulation for us, and the quality of their work has always been excellent. Their team is knowledgeable, reliable, easy to work with, and does a great job keeping things clean and professional on the jobsite. We appreciate their attention to detail and consistent communication and would highly recommend them for any insulation needs!"
"Had ceilings repainted and are extremely happy with results. I like the fast response and communication throughout the project. Punctual and on schedule."
Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.
Mudding drywall is a DIY-friendly project, but patience and practice are required for perfection. If you’re working in a highly visible area and want the best possible finish, hiring a professional drywaller is worth the cost. Pros have the tools and know-how to ensure a smooth surface with fewer sanding sessions and less cleanup.
You can skim coat plaster, but it’s better to repair the plaster itself. A skim coat is a thin coat of drywall joint compound spread over the surface of a wall. The result is a flat finish that looks pleasing, but part of the appeal of plaster is its imperfections and aesthetic. Skim coating is best when limited to drywall applications.
The person’s skill will affect how many drywall sheets they can hang in one day. Some people can hang 10 or more sheets in a day, while others may only hang six or seven sheets. It also depends on the framing complexity since custom cutting and fitting the drywall can prolong the process.
If you only have tiny holes in your drywall (for example, dents or nail marks), you probably won’t need a patch kit. Instead, you can plug the hole with a small amount of spackle. Once the spackle dries, you can sand the area and paint over it—just like you would in the steps outlined above.
