"So happy I went with USA Insulation. After learning about foam insulation, I knew it was the right option for my house. They insulated my walls and attic in a day and a half, and I could feel the difference right away."

"Ralph Bertrand from Home Genius Exteriors came out to thoroughly examine our roof. Ralph showed us many photos & a video of our roof, outside & inside. Ralph took the time to answer any questions we had. He explained the various products used & levels of warranty available. We really appreciated the time Ralph spent explaining everything to us, all without pressure to buy. The day of install arrived & the team was on time & ready to work! One thing we liked was that there was someone there from Home Genius Exteriors during the whole time of install. Richard Bowan, the Install Manager, was there to oversee everything & he did an amazing job. They placed large tarps over all our landscaping & got right to work. Rich kept us updated on progress throughout the day & answered any questions we had. In addition to the new roof, we also had new gutters with leaf guards & downspouts installed. When the work was completed, we walked around the house with Rich. Everything was completely cleaned up; there was nothing left behind or out of place. Our home looks amazing. The new roof, gutters & downspouts really look beautiful. We loved our experience with Home Genius Exteriors, especially working with both Ralph & Rich. They were so professional & knowledgeable. We would recommend them to others & if we needed additional work, we would definitely call Home Genius Exteriors."

"l Everyone we dealt with was extremely nice and friendly, including the guys that came out to the house. The person we spoke with initially gave us a cost estimate based on the square footage of our house and how many vents he estimated we had (I hadn't counted and he said he'd guess since it was an estimate). I told him that we had a vent with some nesting-type material that blew up from it when we first turned on the air (this is a new home that had sat empty for two years) and we wanted a company that had the capability to inspect the interior of the ducts that we couldn't see in the craw space. He assured me they could do that as well.
The appointment was rescheduled once, but they warned me that may happen and I wasn't upset at all about that.
They showed up on time and communicated well with us the day of the appointment so we knew when to expect them. When the technician called I asked him if they could also check our two intakes as the duct board was loose on both and causing air to escape into the crawl space and closet. He told me they could do that easily and carried the appropriate tape to easily fix the problem.
For $800, they spent only two hours at our house and only vacuumed out the ducts (of which we have FAR less than the original guess the representative made when quoting the project). No camera was used to check ducts. One week after the cleaning, one duct began blowing insulation that has collected in it's vent cover. They also only repaired one of the intakes with the loose duct board. The other hadn't looked touched, although they assured us they fixed both.
While they were very nice people, I feel quite ripped off and definitely did not get my money's worth. I found out, after the fact, that my mother-in-law had a similar service from another company. Same price, but they were at her house for 7 hours. That's a considerable difference.

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

Look for flaking paint or air bubbles that burst and then flake away. Paint will begin to flake after being exposed to minimal moisture or water, so it’s a good indicator of any water damage. If you notice your paint starting to flake, feel the plaster underneath to see if it is soft or damp.

Drywall tape is made of paper, while drywall mesh is made of fiberglass or metal. Drywall mesh patches are suitable for repairing small holes in drywall, while paper drywall tape holds a crease better for corners. You need joint compound to adhere drywall tape to the wall, while mesh patches may be self-adhesive.

Wall anchors are suitable for drywall and plaster walls, which are common in most homes. However, different wall materials may require specialized anchors. For concrete or masonry walls, you'd typically use concrete anchors. When dealing with other wall types, such as brick or tile, specific anchors designed for those materials may be necessary. Always consult with a hardware specialist or check the manufacturer's recommendations to ensure you select the appropriate anchors for your specific wall type.

Yes, if there is mold in your drywall mud and you then use it to build walls in your house—or if mold develops in your set drywall, like it can in hot and humid areas—it can lead to illness. Mold in your drywall (or other parts of your home) can make existing respiratory conditions or allergies worse, and the effect can be more intense for those who have existing health issues or compromised immune systems.

There are a few ways to figure out if your walls are plaster or drywall, but the pushpin method is probably the easiest option. To try it, choose a part of your wall where you can insert a pushpin or thumbtack without leaving an obvious mark. If it goes in easily, you have drywall. But if the wall is tough to penetrate, that’s plaster.
