"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."

"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

While not always necessary, you can glue a drywall ceiling in addition to using screws or nails. Drywall is typically secured to ceiling joists with fasteners, which is often sufficient. However, adding construction adhesive can offer benefits like preventing sagging, bridging gaps, and reducing air leaks for better energy efficiency. It may also be used for specific acoustic or insulation needs. On the other hand, many professionals advise against it because properly placed screws make the drywall structural, glue doesn't add strength, and it makes future repairs or replacements significantly more difficult. Ultimately, it's best to follow local building codes and project-specific requirements to decide if adhesive is right for your ceiling.

While certain types of textured walls can seem dated (looking at you, popcorn), textured walls are a common sight in both older and more modern homes. The main reason textured walls may be here to stay is that they are an excellent way to hide minor imperfections on a wall and give it a finished appearance. Some homeowners think a coat of paint on drywall is a bit industrial-looking. However, that look works perfectly in modern home design

Yes, you can install drywall over plaster, but there are important factors to consider. While it can create a smooth, flat surface, it is often not the best approach. Installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall's thickness, which can cause issues with existing window and door frames that may no longer fit. You might also need to adjust power outlets to keep them accessible. A better, though more expensive, option is to remove the old plaster and lath entirely before installing new drywall. Drywalling directly over plaster seals in the old material, and if any problems arise later, you will need to remove both layers down to the structural beams for repairs. Given the potential complications, this job is best handled by professionals.

The tool you use to sand plaster will depend on the size of the project. If you’re just working on a small section of your wall to get rid of an uneven spot on the surface, hand-sanding might work. However, for larger projects, a drywall sander can make a huge difference when it comes to both time and elbow grease—and an orbital sander can help for detailed areas such as around ceiling fans.

The easiest way to cut holes in drywall for electrical boxes is to use a spiral saw with a drywall router bit. Hang the drywall without cutting out a hole for the box, but make sure you measure and mark where the box is located on the wall. Once you screw in the drywall sheet, drill a small hole into the box void, insert the spiral saw bit, and move it around the edge of the box using the inside wall as a guide. You can also use an oscillating multi-tool with an electrical box cutout for fast, professional results.
