"I would recommend Home Insulation Experts, Inc for insulation services. They came to my house installed the insulation we needed and did a great job."
"Mike initially came and looked over the property. He advised me what he could do and what was needed. I told him I would only be doing part of what he suggested at this time and he had no problem with my plan and gave me two invoices---one for the exterior walls and one for the attic. He was excellent in explaining what was needed and could not have been nicer and more patient. A few days after I accepted the bid, his crew arrived. They could not have been more professional or nicer. The crew foreman took the time to explain to me what they were doing and answered all my questions. By the end of the day, the job was finished. The project could not have gone more smoothly. I simply cannot properly express how pleased I was with Mike and his crew. I plan to engage Acorn next year to insulate my attic and I would have no reservation about recommending them to anyone.
"This was an amazing process which I was anxious about doing. Everything went smoothly and it was done in a timely manner. David was professional and he explained the process. His team worked hard . Plastic liner was laid down to protect the carpet. The old insulation was taken away. An estimate was given. I had to reschedule the cleanup date; there was no problem."
"RetroFoam of Michigan deserves more than five stars. The representative who gave me an estimate was prompt and professional. The office staff who called to tell me installers were ahead of schedule was kind and courteous as I answered during a busy day at work. The crew who came to insulate my garage was extraordinary. They made sure my garage was left clean. They even mopped the garage floor before they left! The crew leader explained the process of insulating with foam and exactly how the holes in my walls would be patched before the team left. I am an educator of 30 years and a licensed builder. I've remodeled and flipped homes and have rental units. I'm used to swinging a hammer alongside others. This company is made up of hard-working people who charge a fair price and do exceptional work. I have advice for those that run the company - take care of your installation crews! They are exceptional! If you've read this far and are interested in having your house/garage insulated give them a call now. You will be happy you did. Now...I'm looking forward to enjoying a warm man-cave garage on cold nights!"
"We couldn't be more pleased with Acorn's services. We had insulation blown in from the outside, as well as our attic done, and we feel a huge difference. The team that came to our house to do our insulation, Nate, Rajan and TJ, was the best! They were incredibly friendly, polite, and most importantly - thorough, both in the job that they did and also in tidying up. We can't say enough good things!"

Yes, you can use drywall repair techniques for some types of plaster damage. Tiny holes and small cracks in plaster can be patched in similar ways to drywall. You apply the necessary compound to fill the hole, wait for it to dry, then sand it down. For larger damage, like water damage or mold, you need to use plaster-specific techniques and materials.
Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.
Yes, you can speed up the time it takes for plaster to dry, but it's important to do so carefully to avoid issues like cracking or crumbling. Proper ventilation is key; open a window or use a fan to circulate air in the room. Heat can also accelerate drying, but be cautious, as too much heat can cause the plaster to dry too quickly and crack. Check the plaster's packaging for the recommended drying temperature and set the room's thermostat accordingly. While managing humidity is important, avoid using a dehumidifier, which can remove moisture too aggressively and result in crumbly plaster.
This depends on how much plaster is applied and in how many layers, but a decent estimate is around 150 square feet. If you are applying only two coats on a small wall, there is a chance you may only need one or two gallons for the entire project. If you are plastering a large living room wall with high ceilings, using one of the more involved techniques–like Scagliola–that requires several coats, expect the project materials costs to add up quickly.
Costs range from $500 to $5,000, depending on damage size, labor, and finishing requirements.
