"Professional and courteous. The folks on site took time to answer any question, wore masks and cleaned up well. They did great job painting the stucco after insulation and patching - house looks great. The insulation is already making huge difference in my 1911 house in Minneapolis- not sure the boiler will kick in till December."

"John and his team did amazing work removing the old, insufficient insulation in the attic of my nearly 120 year old home and replacing it with a much higher R-value blow-in insulation. The difference in the look of the attic is phenomenal, and I am confident it will be good for the energy efficiency of our home as well. The entire project took around 8 hours and the team even cleaned up to the point where you could hardly tell any work was done. I found dealing with John and Spray Foam Insulation Systems to be a very pleasant experience. Very honest and forthright, while offering a very fair rate for the work. I highly recommend working with them."
"The estimator for our garage insulation project from Home Pro, Lyndsay Praml, was excellent. She was extremely knowledgeable regarding the type of insulation to use and the attic venting needs. Lyndsay actually climbed into the attic space over the garage to inspect and measure the space. We would have used Home Pro had not our overall kitchen/garage contractor come up with their own contractor."

"Excellent Job! Couldn't recommend them enough. Excellent responsiveness to inquiries, excellent work on the insulation, very thorough clean job with attention to detail and excellent pricing."
In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.
Whether it’s better to screw or glue drywall depends on your specific budget and project timeline. Professional drywall installers are more likely to use screws and fasteners than adhesives, but it takes longer. But if you are DIYing your drywall installation, glue is a perfectly fine choice if you’re willing to pay extra for adhesive.
There shouldn’t be any gaps between your walls and ceiling. These can be fixed with joint compound but that is only a fix, and it’s much better if your drywall fits correctly in the first place. Sometimes gaps can appear if your foundation shifts significantly but if this is the case, you have a much bigger problem than patching drywall.
Only use spackle on plaster walls when the imperfection is small. It’s best used for nail holes or small dings in the plaster. Spackle dries quickly, allowing you to continue the repair process shortly after using it. Plaster can be tricky to repair, though, so if you run into issues, call a pro so that you don’t risk further damage.
Yes, you can mount a TV on plaster walls—as long as you attach it to the studs. Alternatively, you can use toggle bolts, molly bolts, or another type of hardware that’s strong enough to support a TV.
If you aren’t comfortable with this type of project, you can hire a pro. The cost of mounting a TV to a plaster wall ranges from $25 to $600 (or more), depending on the TV’s weight, size, and other factors.
