"We called Home Seal to consult on weatherization and insulation for our 1920s bungalow. The advice was great and we hired them to insulate the rim joists between our basement and first floor as well as adding cellulose insulation to our attic space. The communication throughout this project went well and the work was completed as scheduled. We would highly recommend Home Seal for weatherization and insulation projects."

"Ryan, Miguel, Luis and staff did a great job removing old insulation, inspect, clean & disinfect, spray foam, and blow in new insulation. They were efficient, kept me informed, cleaned up well, and addressed minor issues after the completion was complete. I had planned to also spray foam the basement, but we could not vacate the house (fumes) with a member in hospice. This will be done as soon as we are able. Highly recommended!"

"Raul and his team were very professional and polite. The price was very fair. They did the installation in a timely manner and cleaned up after themselves very well. The crew was friendly and respectful and communicated well. My only concern was that after the insulation was installed, they mudded over the drywall that had been cut, and did not smooth it out at all. The painters who came later were super-annoyed. They had to rent a high-powered sander to get the ceiling to the point where they could prep it for painting. It would have been very easy for the contractor to just scrape the mud flat instead of leaving it to dry with jagged peaks all over. A little more training of the crew would fix this. Or just request it when the crew is there."

"Ryan did our estimate, and was very efficient. Andrew and Evan did the insultation work and did a fantastic job! It was a large area to get prepped and then to insulate and they did a great job every step of the way! Our entire home is now at a R50+ insulation level, as opposed to the R25-30 and 0 values we had before. It will be interesting to see what sort of impact the newly insulated garage and 3 season porch has on the comfort level in the main house. The team did a great job for us and I would recommend them to anyone considering insulation!"

"Carl was very prompt with calling me back and actually arranged to fit me in a day earlier than planned. The work was all completed within a couple hours. I guess I expected the spackling to be all set to repaint over, but that will require some touch-ups before painting. Overall, great experience and we will use Specialty Insulators again when we require this type of project."

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

You should leave a gap between drywall sheets because they naturally expand and contract along with the building framing as temperature and humidity change. Most pro drywall installers leave a gap of about ⅛ inch between drywall sheets, allowing the sheets to expand, contract, and shift without cracking or becoming damaged. If you don’t leave enough gaps between slabs, the edges will press against each other when they expand, and the pressure can cause visible cracks.

Whether you can reuse a drywall anchor depends on its type, material, and how it is removed. Plastic anchors, such as expansion or self-drilling types, are generally considered single-use because they are designed to expand and are likely to break or become deformed upon removal. Metal anchors, like toggle bolts, are more durable and can often be reused if they are not damaged during extraction. However, with toggle bolts, the toggle mechanism can fall inside the wall when the bolt is removed, making it difficult to retrieve. If an anchor is damaged or must be cut for removal, it cannot be reused regardless of its material.

You can take a few steps to save money on drywall installation, even when hiring a professional to do the bulk of the work for you. These ideas include the following:

  • Buy the drywall and other materials yourself to avoid product markup and delivery fees

  • Ask about discounts if you use the same company to tape, spackle, and paint

  • Hire drywall professionals in the winter when demand is the lowest

  • DIY as many parts of the project as possible, like replacing insulation and painting

The amount of drywall you need for a 1,000-square-foot basement depends on the ceiling height, angles, number of doors and windows, and more. To find the wall square footage, multiply the width and height of each wall, minus any gaps from windows or doors, and add the totals together. You’ll also need enough drywood nails or screws to install the drywall correctly.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.
