"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."
"My wife and I were so pleased with Chris and his team from the work on our crawl space that we hired them to remove and install new insulation in our entire house. Due to a previous leak in the roof the insulation wasn't effective. All About Energy Solutions came in and removed all of the old insulation and put new insulation in. They also added a radiant barrier. Chris is extremely knowledgable and passionate about what he does and wants to teach you about the benefits of the solutions they provide. This has been the second job we have hired Chris for and wouldn't hesitate to hire him or recommend him. Chris continues to go above and beyond for us."
"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."
"Well, the first time the replacement was ordered it was the wrong one, which of course, delayed the installation a week. When it was finally installed I had to pay an additional $850 for code upgrades. This I was not informed of by Home Shield. Then we noticed that there was water on the garage floor and found that the pipe coming in from the wall was leaking at the wall so had to call the plumbing company back out to fix it. They first tried to say it was not their fault but since there wasn't a leak before they installed they did fix it. I have used Home Shield a few times before and never had a problem. Some of the companies they use are not the best so you have to research them before you commit. I have found HS service to be good if you do your homework. At the end of the day I was without hot water for almost 3 weeks but it was do to the plumbing company they sent out."

The age of your home can clue you in to whether you have plaster or drywall ceilings. Homes built after the ‘70s are more likely to have drywall ceilings and walls, while older homes have plaster. You can also do the pushpin test: A pushpin will go into drywall, whereas it’s much harder to push one into a plaster wall. If you’re still unsure, ask a drywall professional to let you know which type of ceilings and walls you have.
When used correctly, drywall patch kits can work well. However, there are limitations. Specifically, these kits can only cover holes up to 5 inches in diameter. For anything larger than that, you’ll need to cut out the affected section of drywall and replace it with a new piece. That’s a far more complicated process that involves buying the right type of drywall, finding the wall studs, cutting into your wall, and screwing the replacement drywall in place.
You should start looking for a drywall installer by choosing a local company with positive online reviews and ratings with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Next, confirm that the professional is properly licensed using Angi’s contractor licensing tool, and ask the installer if they are fully insured. It’s a good idea to ask for recent customer references and call them to get their honest opinion about the contractor and their work. You can also ask the installer if they guarantee their work or provide a workmanship warranty.
You should do a little bit of sanding between adding coats of mud. Knock down any ridges or significantly imperfect areas through sanding, which should help you apply the next coat of mud smoothly. If your first coat of mud is pretty smooth after it dries, a quick sanding is all you’ll need. Don’t forget to wipe away any dust after each sanding process.
Most repairs take 1-3 days, depending on drying times for joint compound and paint touch-ups.
