"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! "

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.
You can technically just paint over hairline cracks in plaster since these cracks are often harmless, but this will mostly be a waste of paint. Paint will only hide the hairline crack for a few months before it shows up again. The best solution is to repair the crack with flexible filler or joint compound before repainting.
Deciding whether to repair or replace drywall can be tricky, but your top considerations should be the extent of the damage and what caused the damage. For instance, if you need to repair a small hole caused by a doorknob that hit the wall, you can safely patch it without a second thought. However, if you have significant drywall damage caused by water damage, it’s best to thoroughly remove the drywall to inspect and repair the pipes behind it before replacing it.
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.
Glass walls are more expensive overall than their brick or drywall counterparts. However, if you need walls for a building with more than two or three stories, glass walls are the more budget-friendly option.
