"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."
"I can’t say enough nice things about Jersey State Insulation. Sebastian and his crew are absolutely amazing. They work very hard and are very conscientious of your home. When they did the insulation on my home they were very careful when moving things around and cleaning up after the job was done. Sebastian is very friendly and made every effort to explain everything and make sure I was happy with the work being done. I met with other insulation companies, but none seemed nearly as competent as Jersey State. The others wanted to charge me a lot more for something I didnt think I needed. The others though my problem was only the attic. Sebastian inspected the attic and said there was nothing it needed. Other contractors didn’t even want to attempt blow-in insulation, but Sebastian and his crew did it and the result is fantastic"
"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.
"Hired Retro Foam of Philadelphia to install foam insulation on 3 sides of my townhouse on Wildwood Crest. They did a great job, the team of Frank, Mike, Kevin and Keith were very respectful of our property, They were very friendly and mannerly during the process. when they left, you did not even know they were at my home. Great Job Bob/Jackie Marnie"
"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!"
"This is my second experience with work performed by Atticare. Alex T. Project Manager & his crew performed roof replacement & upgraded attic insulation.

Drywall anchors won’t work on plaster. Instead, they will more than likely cause more damage and pull out the plaster. The best type of anchors to use on plaster walls are the ones that will bite into the surrounding area, such as molly bolts and toggle bolts. Masonry anchors with expanders on the sides also work for lighter pictures.
Whether you apply the drywall mesh before or after drywall mud depends on the type of patch it is. For self-adhesive patches, you’ll put the patch down first and then coat it with mud. Mesh patches that are not self-adhesive will require you to put mud down first and then press the mesh into it, followed by additional coats of mud.
According to the EPA, mold grows within 24 to 48 hours if left untreated after a water leak. So unless you notice the leak and stop it right away, you only have a day or so before mold is a real concern. If you don’t notice the leak, it can take about three weeks for the mold spores to become visible. That means you’ve likely had an active mold infection for a few weeks by the time you notice discoloration.
To maintain plaster walls, inspect them regularly for cracks and seal them early. Clean the walls by dusting regularly or using a gentle, damp cloth. It's also important to avoid moisture exposure. Repainting as needed will help maintain the wall's appearance and longevity.
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.
