Should wall insulation be faced or unfaced?

• <div><p>Unfaced wall insulation is easier to cut and install, making it the better choice for a DIY project. It’s also more affordable. But if it’s unfaced, you’ll likely need to add a vapor barrier to reach your desired R-value and efficiency, as it doesn’t offer any moisture barrier.</p><p>Faced insulation uses paper or foil to create a built-in barrier and doesn’t require an extra step. It’s also more fire-resistant and safe. But it’s quite a bit more expensive and a little bit harder to work with as a DIYer.</p></div>

Q: What is the thickest insulation I can put in a 2x4 wall?

• <div><p>2x4 walls can hold R-13 or R-15 batts of insulation, which is usually about 3.5 inches thick. You should also check with your local building codes to see if there&rsquo;s a required thickness you need to adhere to. </p><p>You can also use R-value maps to determine the best thickness and ratings for where you live. For example, someone in Texas doesn&rsquo;t need as thick of insulation as someone in Montana. <a href="https://www.energystar.gov/saveathome/seal_insulate/identify_problems_you_want_fix/diy_checks_inspections/insulation_r_values">Energy Star</a> has a good one you can reference.</p></div>

Q: How do you insulate a stone house?

• <div><p>Insulating a stone house is an expensive and involved process because it requires building a double-walled house. The walls don&rsquo;t need to be the same thickness, but they both need to be thick enough to handle any structural demands and meet fire and safety standards. The insulation (usually foam or fiberglass) is then installed between the two stone walls. </p></div>

Q: Is blown-in insulation worth it?

• <div><p>It depends on your needs and preferences, though many homeowners think it is worth it. Not only is blown-in insulation easy to install, but it is highly efficient with thermal regulation. Most types are mold-resistant, flame-resistant, insect-resistant, and, most importantly, completely safe.</p></div>

Q: Is 55 degrees too cold for a house?

• <div><p>No, 55 degrees Fahrenheit is not too cold for a house, as it&rsquo;s a temperature that will keep your pipes and appliances from freezing. Well-insulated homes can even go to 50 degrees, but check with an HVAC pro before opting for such a low temperature. Stick to 55 degrees to be on the safe side. </p></div>

TL;DR: Craigo lost a legal suit against me and has refused to pay. I contacted Craigo on a referral that he could cut a door in the basement of our house. Though I only got him to talk on the phone once, he agreed he could do the job and then communicated primarily over text after that. He...

"I selected Personal Touch Home Solutions (Jim Burton) from among numerous others who also bid on the job. Jim's rates were reasonable, and his priority was making sure I was happy with the final product. The project was finishing a basement, but this also involved an extensive demo as the house was old and previous attempts to modernize were not well planned or performed. As is typical with a remodel, unexpected challenges presented themselves. Jim enthusiastically developed solutions to each issue. He went the extra mile with custom carpentry to accommodate this basement's unique geometry. Although he was hired to finish the basement, he also made time to address issues and improvements in the remainder of the house. He kept a clean worksite and coordinated subcontractors throughout the project. Highly recommend!"
