"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."

It is possible to apply plaster on the interior or exterior of your home, but we don’t recommend it. Plaster is easy to apply in theory, but in reality, it can be a challenging material to work with, and it’s difficult to get the finished product to look clean, even, and smooth. Many DIYers end up calling in a professional afterward to touch up the area or even redo it entirely because of mistakes they made in the process. Hiring a plaster pro will cost more, but it’s usually the best option to achieve high-quality results.
Applying spackle is a simple DIY project that most people can complete in just a few hours. Even homeowners who have little DIY experience can complete this project in an afternoon. However, if you're uncomfortable with the project or don't have the time, you can always hire a pro to help.
While not always necessary, you can glue a drywall ceiling in addition to using screws or nails. Drywall is typically secured to ceiling joists with fasteners, which is often sufficient. However, adding construction adhesive can offer benefits like preventing sagging, bridging gaps, and reducing air leaks for better energy efficiency. It may also be used for specific acoustic or insulation needs. On the other hand, many professionals advise against it because properly placed screws make the drywall structural, glue doesn't add strength, and it makes future repairs or replacements significantly more difficult. Ultimately, it's best to follow local building codes and project-specific requirements to decide if adhesive is right for your ceiling.
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.
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.
