"I needed insulation put into existing walls without any remodel. They came and did blown in fiberglass from the exterior walls. They did a great job and were super friendly. Some issues came up during the job with my interior drywall because the sheetrock was installed incorrectly. They didn’t hesitate to come in and fix the problem. They cleaned up after themselves before leaving where you couldn’t even tell they were there. I noticed an immediate difference in sound and comfort in the house. I am very impressed with how friendly and professional they were. The job was quick and effective. Highly recommend."

"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."

"I recently had Home Shield install new insulation in my home, and I couldn't be happier with their work! From start to finish, they were professional, punctual, and efficient. They arrived right on time and completed the job in a timely manner without cutting corners. What really stood out to me was how clean they left everything. They made sure to clean up thoroughly after themselves, which is always appreciated. Additionally, their expertise was evident—they not only knew exactly what needed to be done but also took the time to explain what steps we could take to keep our home warm during the colder months. Overall, their excellent service and attention to detail exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend them"

"Quick effective and right to handling the job at hand. Clean up was exactly what I expected and the cost although was a costly repair I think was fair for the amount of work that was performed. I hope I don't need them but I know who to call if I do."

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

You should always hang drywall from the top down. Starting at the top makes it easier to create a straight, tight line between the ceiling and the wall. Any gaps that occur will be at the bottom, where they are easier to manage. You can either cut the bottom piece of drywall to fit the remaining space or cover the gap with baseboard trim. Additionally, starting at the top is physically easier, as you won't have to fit the top sheet into a tight space between the lower sheet and the ceiling, or try to balance the upper sheets on the lower ones while securing them.

The best tool for skim coating drywall is a skim coating blade, which can smooth out joint compound in wide stretches. While you could use a smaller drywall knife for skim coating, the smaller size means it’ll take longer to smooth out each section. Instead, consider investing in a skim coating blade for the quickest application.

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.

The amount of drywall you need for a 1,000-square-foot basement depends on the ceiling height, angles, number of doors and windows, and more. To find the wall square footage, multiply the width and height of each wall, minus any gaps from windows or doors, and add the totals together. You’ll also need enough drywood nails or screws to install the drywall correctly.

Some painters will repair minor drywall damage. For repair work of any kind, it’s a good idea to hire the professional required for the job. Many painters will have the materials on hand and can add them to the total cost. While you may save some money, there is a chance the work will be subpar compared to a professional who specializes in drywall.
