"Do yourself a favor, Just call Nick at Premium Insulation!!! He gets to you fast does top notch work and for a VERY reasonable price! The house that he insulated for me is 10 years old and the large master bathroom and closet ran 4-6 degrees hotter than the rest of the house. I tried everything to make those rooms cooler, which is way too many things to list, to no avail the rooms stayed noticeably warmer. One day it dawned on me that I had this same exact problem in 2 previous houses I owned. I thought, surely not again, so I looked at the placard that insulation companies staple up in the attic when a new house is insulated. This placard shows the name of the company, the date, how many square feet of attic space they insulated and the name of the actual person who did the job. Once I saw the name of the company I KNEW what was going on! I quickly grabbed my step ladder and felt the ceilings in both of those hot rooms and they were hot, not warm, HOT!!! This means that there is no insulation, whatsoever, in the attic in those places!!! To confirm this I went into the attic and squeezed my chubby body back into that area and sure enough, NO INSULATION!! Just blank Sheetrock ceilings that the original insulation installer attempted to hide with mounds of insulation to conceal the 2 rooms that were hard to get to. SAME EXACT THING THEY HAD DONE ON 2 OTHER HOUSES I PREVIOUSLY OWNED!!! I contacted this so-called company XXXXXXXX to inform them of what had happened to me for the 3rd TIME to see if they would do anything about it. The lady I spoke to admitted that the insulation technician whose name was on the placard had indeed been an employee there. I asked if they were going to do anything about it and she stated, "If you think we're gonna come finish the job for free that's not gonna happen!" I told her it wouldn't be for free since they were paid in FULL when it was done 10 years ago!! She stated that the "boss" would call me. I asked if he really would call and she said, absolutely. Well, it's approaching a week now and still no call from the "boss" at XXXXXXXXXX. I'm just glad I got on Home Advisor and found Nick at Premium Insulation!! He got to me in 2 days and now the entire house is cool!! I also found the flooring contractors I am going to use from Home Advisor! Thank you Nick and Home Advisor!!"

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

Technically speaking, you can use drywall primer over plasters. However, oil-based primers work the most effectively on wall plasters. Meanwhile, water-based primers work just as well with drywalls. Nowadays, there are also universal primers suitable for drywall and plaster. Overall, you will be fine as long as you are using a trustworthy brand.

A common cause of separation between a wall and the ceiling is truss lift—this can happen to the ceiling of rooms directly under the attic when the seasons change and wood building materials dry out, shrink, and shift. Roof trusses often dry out at different speeds, and if the bottom pieces dry out faster than the top pieces, they can shrink and pull the attached drywall away from ceilings and walls, causing cracks. Fortunately, truss lift is only a cosmetic problem, not a structural problem, and you can fix it by separating the ceiling drywall from the roof trusses, and patching the cracks.

When you are learning how to tape and mud drywall, waiting for things to dry requires a lot of patience. So how long does drywall mud take to dry? On average, it takes about 24 hours. However, it depends on things like the thickness of the mud, as well as the room’s temperature, humidity, and ventilation. Using thin layers of mud in a warm, low-humidity room with good airflow reduces average drying time. You also could speed up drying time by making use of hot drywall mud, which consists of a powder that you mix with water, instead of using pre-mixed mud. 

When choosing materials for finishing basement walls, consider factors such as moisture resistance, durability, and fire resistance. Opt for materials specifically designed for basement environments, like moisture-resistant drywall or cement board. Insulation with vapor barriers can help regulate temperature and prevent condensation. Consider using mold-resistant paints or coatings. 

Research and consult with experts to select materials that are suitable for your specific basement conditions and intended use. Prioritize quality and compatibility to achieve long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing results.

Drying alone can take 1 to 4 hours to dry to the touch per plaster layer, but some types of plaster take several hours longer to dry. However, this doesn’t mean the job is done because plaster doesn’t fully harden until it cures, which can take a few days to a couple of weeks. It may take even longer if you’re building a new, pretty thick plaster wall. Allow the plaster to cure before painting it.
