"FoamCo recently insulated our basement walls. Before, we couldn’t use the basement in the winter time. We noticed an immediate difference once the insulation went in, and now our basement is our favorite cozy hangout spot in the house. They were great at explaining exactly what kind of insulation I needed and were actually the best priced bid we got."

"The company Carico drywall installed new drywall under my carport and painted all around also painted the poles made it look beautiful. Also installed insulation. The workers Tim and his helpers worked so hard in the hottest days of the year and the owner Kyle worked with me and and they had this project done earlier than expected. I would definitely use them again."

"One of the best experiences we've had with work done in our home. Zac and the team from Foam Co went above and beyond for our project - removing the old insulation from our attic and installing new insulation. They arrived exactly at the agreed on time, took care to protect our home from any mess or damage, and completed the entire project in just a few short hours. All of the team members were polite and kind. They went above and beyond to clean up at the end of the project and to make sure we were satisfied with their work. We will absolutely hire them again in the future!"

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

Plaster ceilings can sag for several reasons. In some cases, the plaster and other building materials shift and come apart over time, which is why you’ll commonly find drooping plaster ceilings in older homes. Improper installation, foot traffic, and water damage—often from a leaky roof or a broken pipe—can also cause plaster ceilings to sag.

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

There are six levels of drywall finish, from 0 to 5, that refer to the amount of work performed during the finishing process.

Level 0: Drywall is hung with no finishing work.

Level 1: Tape is placed over the seams between drywall sheets.

Level 2: A thin layer of mud is applied over the tape and screw holes. This level is common for utility rooms or walls that will be covered.

Level 3: A full coat of mud covers the screw holes and tape, but the surface is not sanded. This is often used in garages.

Level 4: This is the most common finish for visible interior walls. It involves applying two coats of mud over seams and screw holes, with sanding between each coat, creating a smooth surface ready for flat paint.

Level 5: This is a high-end finish for luxury homes. It includes full taping, mudding, and sanding, plus a final skim coat over the entire surface before painting.

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.

This depends on how much plaster is applied and in how many layers, but a decent estimate is around 150 square feet. If you are applying only two coats on a small wall, there is a chance you may only need one or two gallons for the entire project. If you are plastering a large living room wall with high ceilings, using one of the more involved techniques–like Scagliola–that requires several coats, expect the project materials costs to add up quickly.
