"We had been living in our house for 5 years and although the kitchen was a new addition, every winter my wife & I had noticed how noticeably the temperature differentiated especially after the winter of 2014/15. And because it was a dirt floor with some wood and old construction debris strewn about. I was not so keen on staying down there. In doing my own investigation there was some piping and insulation under floor. So when investigating estimates we called a number of "green" companies. Out of the three companies that came, only Frank Petrullo with Eco Green Solutions, noticed the mold and a water leak coming from fridge line. He took the time to show me where the water was coming, how mold had proliferated on the wood floor joists and beams. The dirt floor was somewhat moist and light was visible from outside along foundation rim contributing to the mold and moisture in crawl space. He explained each of our options and detailed the steps in sections of each estimate. We opted to have a plumber fix the water leak, then franks crew came in, cleaned up the mold, then layed down the crawl space membrane, finally insulating floor & rim joist. All in under two days. The crew showed up on time, left the open sections of the house clean, and we immediately noticed a difference in kitchen and rest of house. Walking around bare foot in kitchen is more comfortable, the kitchen is less noisy, and house humidity is maintained. "
"They arrived timely and worked with an average of four people for one full week. I had the impression that their quote underestimated the size of this job, especially the dense packing of all exterior walls. They worked extremely cleanly in comparison to all other contractors that had worked for us before. I would contact them again if we had another insulation job to be done.
"Joey and his team are terrific. This is the second time I have hired Federated to come and do insulation. The first time was approximately 2008 and it was to insulate my roof. This time when Joey returned, I mentioned in passing as we were talking about the work I needed done in my basement that I still got some drafts in the top floor. He immediately offered to go up with his infrared camera and see if they missed spots the first time. He acknowledged that because I have a flat roof that slopes in the front, they weren't able to get to certain areas from the top of the roof and offered to come back (at no cost) to insulate the parts of the roof that they missed the first time -- but this time from inside through the ceiling. I hired them to do the basement job, and good to his word, he and his team started on my top floor and spent a considerable amount of time filling the ceiling with insulation and then patching the area to match the existing stucco. Next, they started the basement job. I stood by to see how they worked and am very impressed. They are a good team with clearly many years working together. I asked if they could create certain holes to fill insulation in areas that I suspected there might be gaps. They were willing, ready and able to work with me and comply with my requests. Toward the end, Joey asked that I look at a job he just completed in the gas room (I wanted gaps filled with insulation to prevent gas from coming through my floorboards into my living room). He had done a good job, but I saw some additional areas that were of concern to me (not necessarily a problem, just being a little OCD) and asked that he address it. Even through everything was already back on the truck, he complied. The results? I am very pleased with the service, quality of the materials, professionalism of staff, and Joey's expertise. One additional thing, Joey identified a problem in my boiler room that he suggested I fix immediately. I called my local chimney guy who said that Joey's assessment of the problem was 100% correct, and the chimney guys came to fix the issue at the same time that Joey and his men were here. They were able to coordinate nicely, work on their respective areas, and left the place neat and clean. I was told that the work performed had a life-time guarantee, and I believe it. So, I don't usually go on and on this effusively about work done in my home, but when someone goes above and beyond, I like to recognize them for their efforts. Job well done, Joey. Many thanks you and your team! "

While it’s most common to sand plaster dry, it is possible to wet-sand plaster, too. Doing so can reduce the amount of plaster dust released into the air and make it easier to work in smaller, more delicate areas (such as around wall trim). However, some people find that wet sanding leads to more imperfections, which is why larger walls are more often dry sanded to ensure an even finish.
When choosing materials for finishing basement walls, consider factors such as moisture resistance, durability, and fire resistance. Opt for materials specifically designed for basement environments, like moisture-resistant drywall or cement board. Insulation with vapor barriers can help regulate temperature and prevent condensation. Consider using mold-resistant paints or coatings.
Research and consult with experts to select materials that are suitable for your specific basement conditions and intended use. Prioritize quality and compatibility to achieve long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing results.
The average cost to apply a skip-trowel drywall texture to walls is $1.25 to $2.00 per square foot. Ceilings cost slightly more because of the increased difficulty of working overhead. Additional cost factors include any drywall repairs and removal of existing textures or wallpaper.
Popular wall textures include orange peel, knockdown, spray sand, and smooth finishes. Orange peel and knockdown are particularly common choices for drywall as they are simple and cost-effective. Orange peel texture has a lightly bumpy surface resembling the skin of an orange, while knockdown (sometimes called knockout) looks like a stucco finish with flattened high spots. In contrast, popcorn texture has fallen out of fashion, partly due to its past association with asbestos and a shift toward more restrained interior design styles.
Yes, taping inside corners is a critical step in the drywall installation process. Properly taping inside corners is essential for achieving a professional look, and an installation that resists cracking and maintains its integrity over time. Taping the corners involves the application of a joint compound along the seam where two drywall pieces meet. This process provides reinforcement, conceals the seam, and prevents future gaps or cracks from developing.
