"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.

"I have had a great experience with the services from Master Attic! I contacted the company, for an insulation installation service for my attic. Robert, and his team, were punctual and professional. They came on time, gave a brief consultation after reviewing the space, and completed the work in a timely matter. Not only did they install the insulation in to my attic efficiently, but they also cleaned and sanitized the place after, and removed any pests and rodents! Would highly recommend Master Attic, and Robert, to anyone who needs insulation services done! They were friendly, professional, and really cared about the quality of their work, and the safety of my home. They also went the extra mile, to clean up and make the space rodent-free! There have been no issues throughout the service. 5 STARS!"

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

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.

A nail in drywall cannot hold very much—usually only a few pounds. A nail in a stud can add support and hold around 20 pounds. If you are trying to hang something heavier, get some help from drywall anchors—toggle bolts are very strong and able to withstand more weight.

When you are learning how to tape and mud drywall, waiting for things to dry requires a lot of patience. So how long does drywall mud take to dry? On average, it takes about 24 hours. However, it depends on things like the thickness of the mud, as well as the room’s temperature, humidity, and ventilation. Using thin layers of mud in a warm, low-humidity room with good airflow reduces average drying time. You also could speed up drying time by making use of hot drywall mud, which consists of a powder that you mix with water, instead of using pre-mixed mud. 

In most cases, plaster repair will improve your home’s energy efficiency because a solid barrier of the insulative material helps keep conditioned air inside your home. Major plaster repair jobs like repairing large cracks or crumbling sections of plaster or applying a skim coat might make a noticeable difference in your heating and cooling bills. Not only can plaster repairs improve efficiency, but they can also reduce strain on your HVAC equipment, potentially saving you money on maintenance and repairs.

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.
