"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."
"The estimator/salesperson Jeremy was excellent. On time, knowledgeable, understood the issues we had and spent a lot of time to recommend the best solution. The install crew of Shawn H and Dustin were prompt, professional and efficient. I would recommend this company and will use them again for my insulation needs."
"Cesar and Elmo arrived right on agreed upon start time, ready with all needed tops and supplies for the job. The quality of the work was excellent and Cezar pointed out and replaced, at no additional charge, a small piece of tube insulation on another HVAC unit that had deteriorated that needed replacement. Cesar has a lovely personality and works very hard to please his customers. I highly recommend Southern Insulation and Services! Thank you Cesar! Dale Nixon"

"I found evidence of termites in a pile of wood in the garage. I called four companies to come out for an inspection and estimate. I chose Clegg's because they didn't try to sell me too much, were not overly aggressive in their sales tactics, and addressed as much as possible concerns I had about not being able to trench within the crawlspace.
I have a sump pump in the crawl space. Because of this, NC law does not allow pest companies to trench inside the crawl space and apply pesticide, as the pesticide will just be pumped out the next time the sump pump works. Because of this, two of the companies that gave me estimates would have had me sign the "North Carolina Waiver of Minimum Requirements For The Control of Subterranean Termites in Existing Structures" before having the work done. Clegg's addressed my concerns about this by drilling on the inside walls of the crawlspace and applying pesticide that way. Because of this, they met the minimum requirements, and I did not need to sign the waiver form.
I requested that they use Termidor instead of Premise, which they generally use. They did this for no additional charge.
Clegg's inspector found evidence of active termites in 3 locations in the garage. He also went into the crawlspace and around the house to see if there was any other evidence. He did not look under the drywall in the garage to see if there were termites there (a possibility, based on the other termite activity), nor did he discuss fixing any possible damage that could have occurred, but none of the other companies that gave me estimates did either.
The inspector was willing to drop by my place of work to have me sign the final contract, which I found very convenient.
The workmen arrived on time. They trenched around the house and garage and did a full drill out -- drilling about every half foot in the garage, the front stoop, and on the inside from the crawlspace the foundation. The work was completed in about 2 hours. They also noticed that we had a lot of mosquitoes in our backyard, and sprayed some pesticide in the yard and under the back deck for them for free.
The workmen had to borrow our electrical extension cord for the work. I can't recall the reason why they did that, but they returned it neatly. They left the area they worked in fairly clean -- they swept in the garage where they did the drill outs, though they accidentally left a drill bit.
I didn't get a bill until a month after the work, which was long enough to have me worry that I had gotten lost in the billing system. The salesman had told me they would do a re-inspection prior to billing, but they did not do that. I didn't think it was really necessary though, so did not complain about it."

"I needed repairs to a skylight from squirrel damage, and shingles replaced and a section of gutters repaired from a large tree branch hitting roof. Found Colbalt Roofing on Angie's List and called to get estimate. Set a time to meet David Francis (Cobalt) at my home to discuss repairs. As soon as David got on the roof he mentioned it looked as though the roof had hail damage. I really didn't pay that much attention to his comment as the roof had been replaced within the last 8-10 years and it looked fine to me other than the damaged area from the tree branch and the skylight. He took notes and said he would work up an estimate and get back with me within 24 hours. The next day he sent me a reasonable estimate $375.00 to repair the skylight, repair damaged section of gutter, and replace small section of wood on roof and put down new shingles. We scheduled a time for the repair. He again mentioned that roof looked like it had hail damage and recommended I consider calling my Insurance Company. Although I had doubts I called them. They asked that I hold off on the repairs until they send a claim adjustor. I notified David and he said no problem and stated he would meet the adjustors when they arrived if needed. The insurance claim adjustor came and confirmed there was severe hail and wind damage to the roof. He demonstrated to me on section in the roof where there were lines in the shingles and he grabbed and flipped them up. He also noticed hail damage to the gutters not caused by the tree branch. There were numerous dents in the gutters and downspouts and numerous scratches and dents in the other four skylights that I thought was just normal wear and tear. Because of the extensive damage on the roof the adjustor asked to look at the inside of the house where he found minor damage and water spots on the ceiling in three rooms. Some needed minor repair to the drywall and repainting. All the repair was covered under my policy other than the damage caused by the squirrel, minus the deductible. David at Cobalt Roofing provided an estimate for repairs with like materials (architectural shingles) within the insurance claim estimate. He also offered the opportunity to upgrade the quality of the roof shingles to a shingle called Presidential Shake because of a surplus he had from a previous job that matched the color of our house. Because of the surplus and with the deep discount I was able to obtain the higher quality shingles at the same cost of the architectural shingles. The roofing crew was very professional and did an excellent job. It did take a little longer than anticipated because of bad weather. Every evening the crew did a thorough cleanup before departing. After the roof was completed the painting crew came in and made repairs to the drywall, painted and cleaned up in one day. My wife and I are extremely pleased with the quality of the work performed. We now have the best looking roof in the neighborhood."

Yes, you can apply new plaster over an existing plaster surface, such as a wall or ceiling, provided the old plaster is in good condition. Before you begin, check the stability of the existing plaster. The surface must be clean, free of loose material, and have no peeling paint. It is also recommended to roughen the surface slightly to promote adhesion. For older plaster, applying a base coat like a PVA emulsion or a specific bonding agent or primer is crucial. This step makes the existing plaster less porous and ensures the new and old layers adhere properly for a smooth, long-lasting finish.
Only use spackle on plaster walls when the imperfection is small. It’s best used for nail holes or small dings in the plaster. Spackle dries quickly, allowing you to continue the repair process shortly after using it. Plaster can be tricky to repair, though, so if you run into issues, call a pro so that you don’t risk further damage.
In most cases, no, you won’t need a permit to replace drywall. If you’re changing the floorplan of your home by adding or removing walls during the drywall project, then you might need a permit, but replacement or repairs usually doesn’t require a permit. Your drywall professional should be able to confirm whether or not a permit is required for your project. If it is, it’s likely to add between $50 and $150 to your total cost. Keep in mind that you will need permits if you plan to install new electrical wiring or plumbing lines behind your new drywall.
The cost to install drywall is between $1.50 and $3 per square foot, while shiplap installation costs between $2 and $7 on average. In most applications, shiplap installations cost more than that of putting in drywall. However, several ways exist to reduce shiplap prices, especially for small locations or accent walls, which can keep the total cost of shiplap competitive with that of drywall.
While textured walls can elevate a space in many ways, there are a couple of downsides to consider. Namely, they’re hard to clean, and some textures fall out of fashion quickly. Make sure to consider all your options to find one you truly love before diving in.
