"The staff at Home Insulation Experts, Inc are very knowledgeable and willing to explain how and why certain methods/processes are used. They spent the time necessary for preparation and cleanup to the extent that even the drywallers were impressed. The crew was quick, efficient, and courteous. We will ABSOLUTELY hire them again for any insulation needs"
"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."
"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"
"The job was very well done. Gustavo and his crew were EXCELLENT. Dealing with the project Manager Taylor was EXCELLENT. One of a kind company. A unique feature that was used for installation was the inclusion of BOTH Sanford insulation and housewrap. I have not had another contractor offer me both of those. It’s always either one or the other. Home Genius is backed by the better business bureau and is a James Hardie certified installer for those looking for one."
"We hired Mark and his team to install new spray foam insulation in our attic to meet the higher demands and code compliance required that you can not get with old style bat insulation. The spray foam sealed all of the leaks we had and made our home less drafty. They also put in new solar attic fans to keep the heat down so our HVAC did not have to work so hard. Great Job Koala!"
"This is my second experience with work performed by Atticare. Alex T. Project Manager & his crew performed roof replacement & upgraded attic insulation. The crew was professional & respected my property. No stress for me & after the job completed and the cleanup was 100%. Thank you for a job well done!☺️"

Most handy homeowners can tackle removing texture from unpainted walls. Removing texture from painted walls is a bit trickier. Paint acts as a sealant, so you can’t soften the texture with water. Instead, you’ll have to add a layer of drywall compound known as a skim coat. This process is messy and takes some practice.
You should always hang drywall from the top down. Starting at the top makes it easier to create a straight, tight line between the ceiling and the wall. Any gaps that occur will be at the bottom, where they are easier to manage. You can either cut the bottom piece of drywall to fit the remaining space or cover the gap with baseboard trim. Additionally, starting at the top is physically easier, as you won't have to fit the top sheet into a tight space between the lower sheet and the ceiling, or try to balance the upper sheets on the lower ones while securing them.
You can take a few steps to save money on drywall installation, even when hiring a professional to do the bulk of the work for you. These ideas include the following:
Buy the drywall and other materials yourself to avoid product markup and delivery fees
Ask about discounts if you use the same company to tape, spackle, and paint
Hire drywall professionals in the winter when demand is the lowest
DIY as many parts of the project as possible, like replacing insulation and painting
Yes, professionals often repair minor wall openings made for insulation injection to restore the surface.
Plaster is denser, harder, and more porous than drywall, so it absorbs moisture differently. This means you’ll often need more prep work, such as thorough sanding, patching, and priming with a high-quality bonding primer. Additionally, you may need more coats of paint to achieve even coverage. While the process takes more time, it helps ensure a durable and professional-looking result.
