"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!!"

"Koala was great, they suggested an alternative solution which was priced much better than the doom and gloom contractors that bid before them. I would hire them again."

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.

A nail in drywall cannot hold very much—usually only a few pounds. A nail in a stud can add support and hold around 20 pounds. If you are trying to hang something heavier, get some help from drywall anchors—toggle bolts are very strong and able to withstand more weight.

To maintain plaster walls, inspect them regularly for cracks and seal them early. Clean the walls by dusting regularly or using a gentle, damp cloth. It's also important to avoid moisture exposure. Repainting as needed will help maintain the wall's appearance and longevity.

Furring strips, thin strips of wood or metal, are not always required for ceiling drywall installation. If the ceiling surface is even and in good condition, drywall can be directly attached to the ceiling joists using screws. However, furring strips become essential when dealing with irregular surfaces or when additional insulation or soundproofing is needed. They create a level substrate for attaching the drywall. Ultimately, the decision to use furring strips depends on the condition of the existing ceiling and the specific requirements of the project.

Popular wall textures include orange peel, knockdown, spray sand, and smooth finishes. Orange peel and knockdown are particularly common choices for drywall as they are simple and cost-effective. Orange peel texture has a lightly bumpy surface resembling the skin of an orange, while knockdown (sometimes called knockout) looks like a stucco finish with flattened high spots. In contrast, popcorn texture has fallen out of fashion, partly due to its past association with asbestos and a shift toward more restrained interior design styles.
