"Very Professional job. Adding insulation to the walls of our home has dropped our energy bills. Would absolutely tell somebody else to have this done especially if you have an older home."

"Triangle Radiant Barrier did a great job installing radiant barrier in our unfinished storage and attic. I was pleased with the whole process from the beginning where all the options for treatment were clearly explained, to the professionalism of crew who did the install, and to the final inspection. The insulated zipper door for the attic stairs is great so I don't have insulation falling down every time I touch the pull-down ladder."

"Insulation Commandos insulated my garage drywall, and I had a great experience working with them. Tony was especially helpful in explaining the available options and recommending the solution that best fit my garage and specific needs. He was knowledgeable, professional, and even managed to fit me into his schedule on short notice, which I greatly appreciated."

"MGs Roofing was absolutely amazing to work with from the start! Mike and Matt did all of the leg work for us from inspection to contacting insurance to installation and follow up. Prompt, reliable and professional. In these busy times, it is much needed and refreshing and the model for conducting excellent business! We had a new roof within a week! All work completes in one day. I work from home and besides some hammering, hardly knew they were hereâ ¦. and the outcome is a stunningly beautiful, great quality, architectural shingled roof that adds beauty to our modern farmhouse. The process was simple yet professional from beginning to end. Thank MGs Roofing for our amazing new roof. Pics here donâ t do it justice! Swing on by and have a look. 5701 Cornwallis Road in Garner, NC. Highly recommend MGs Roofing for all your roofing needs!"

"We recently worked with Evergreen Foam & Insulation on a new construction project where they applied spray foam insulation to the walls and roof deck. Their team was professional, efficient, and maintained clear communication throughout the process. The quality of their work met our expectations, and they completed the job on schedule without any issues. The attention to detail during application was excellent, and the site was left clean and ready for the next phase of construction. We’re pleased with the results and look forward to working with Evergreen Foam & Insulation on future projects."

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

The tool you use to sand plaster will depend on the size of the project. If you’re just working on a small section of your wall to get rid of an uneven spot on the surface, hand-sanding might work. However, for larger projects, a drywall sander can make a huge difference when it comes to both time and elbow grease—and an orbital sander can help for detailed areas such as around ceiling fans.

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.

Yes, it matters which side of drywall you use. One side is smooth, and the other is rough. The smooth side should be facing outward, toward the room, while the rough side should be hidden and facing the studs and framing of the house. The smooth side will be easier to apply tape, joint compound, and, later, paint to.

The easiest way to cut holes in drywall for electrical boxes is to use a spiral saw with a drywall router bit. Hang the drywall without cutting out a hole for the box, but make sure you measure and mark where the box is located on the wall. Once you screw in the drywall sheet, drill a small hole into the box void, insert the spiral saw bit, and move it around the edge of the box using the inside wall as a guide. You can also use an oscillating multi-tool with an electrical box cutout for fast, professional results.

Drywall can be toxic to the environment and to humans in some cases. As drywall breaks down in a landfill and comes in contact with other organic chemicals, it can create hydrogen sulfide gas or leach into the groundwater. Additionally, the CDC recommends methods for controlling the inhalation of drywall dust when handled. While the common ingredients of drywall—gypsum, silica, and mica—are naturally occurring, they can cause irritation in some humans.
