"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

While a normal moisture level for drywall is between 5% and 12%, replacement is recommended if you get consistent readings above 17%. At this level, the drywall is likely too compromised by extensive moisture damage to be considered safe. You can replace either the entire sheet or just the affected section. If you are unsure after a visual inspection, it is best to have a contractor or water restoration provider use a professional moisture meter to get an accurate reading.

Most handy homeowners can tackle removing texture from unpainted walls. Removing texture from painted walls is a bit trickier. Paint acts as a sealant, so you can’t soften the texture with water. Instead, you’ll have to add a layer of drywall compound known as a skim coat. This process is messy and takes some practice.

Although they have similar applications, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Their primary differences lie in their composition, consistency, and ideal use cases.

Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it thicker than joint compound. It dries quickly and is easy to sand, which makes it ideal for small wall repair projects like filling nail holes or patching minor damage.

Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum. It is primarily used for large-scale projects, such as taping and finishing the seams on newly installed drywall. It tends to shrink more than spackle and can be more difficult to spread.

While both products can be used to fill small depressions and cracks, spackle cannot replace joint compound for taping and mudding new drywall. Conversely, you can often use joint compound for small patching jobs typically done with spackle.

A local drywall contractor can texture your drywall for you. Drywall contractors are a better choice than general handy people because the contractors have a lot of experience working with drywall mud. The process is somewhat of an art thanks to the complexity of working with the mud, so call in a drywall pro who knows what they’re doing.

Yes, applying a texture can hide minor imperfections and irregularities in drywall, but it will not cover significant damage like nail marks or screw holes. The best texture depends on the size of the flaws. For minor imperfections, popular choices like orange peel, sand, or popcorn texture are effective. For larger imperfections, you may need a more prominent style, such as a knockdown or trowel finish, to conceal them effectively.
