"I got several estimates from several providers. The pricing seemed just ok with those other providers but something seemed off. Good Life came in and made sure that I was getting the correct amount of insulation (where the other service providers had under estimated) and helped me to get into a loan through the utility company for the cost of the insulation. Good life is a qualifying contractor for this and it saved me a lot of out of pocket expense. They came in and did what they had to do. They were professional and made sure the work was done well."
"They did a great job of blowing the insulation in my attic. They were efficient and courteous of our needs very happy with the work performed. I would highly recommend it. I will be calling them to insulate my walls this spring."
"Stu and his team did an excellent job. They were very professional and quickly, efficiently and cleanly put new blown insulation on the attic floor of my old house. He also explained clearly how the insulation works, the R values and benefits. Thank you Discount Insulation."
"My experience with everyone was excellent. It started with an energy assessment followed up with spray foam insulation throughout my home. Good customer service and follow-up. All was explained thoroughly throughout the process and they welcomed my questions. I highly recommend this service."
"High quality work, timely, responsive and professional. Insulation, sheet-rocking and some electric for large freestanding garage. Would hire them again for other jobs."
"Fausto and his team were great! I would have no hesitation in using them again. I had the attic space of a two-family building insulated with blown-in cellulose. I had already used Tigasi Home Improvement for a smaller Rockwool basement ceiling job and they were very reasonable in price, thorough and clean so I turned to them for this project. Again they gave me what I thought was a reasonable quote for removing old insulation, sealing gaps and then insulation, and Fausto explained the process well. He was very patient and understanding with my tenants' concerns, as access was via a drop down ladder in one unit's hallway. I also wanted an extended platform for storage in the attic and they were able to sort this out for a reasonable price.The team kept the job site extremely tidy and they were pleasant throughout. I would not hesitate to use Tigasi gain for another project. Plus I found them to be just really, really nice guys! A before pic and some after here."
"Joe and his team were extremely knowledgeable - he thoughtfully explained our options and walked me through the benefits of each. Would recommend Koala for your insulation needs."
"I'm a General Contractor (Jon Beer Contracting is my company) and recently worked with Corey and his team from Prestige Energy Solutions. We are doing a combination of a gut renovation and a new build on my own personal home that had a lot of tricky details and moving parts. From start to finish his team was professional, attentive, clean and skilled. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him for our future insulation needs."
"The consultation went great. Cary came out and spent about an hour measuring and evaluating our basement. He left me with a quote the same day as well as my options. Although a little pricey we decided to go for it. The guys came out a few weeks later to insulate and were here all day. No issues there. However, the basement has not warmed up since and we spent quite a bit of money and were told it would be about 60-65° down there. It only increased by maybe 5° and still isn’t even close to 60/65°. I emailed the guy Cary who came out and was told he’d talk to his guys about it. No response. I had to follow up. Then he said he’d send someone out. Never got a call or anything to schedule it. Again I had to reach out. Weeks later he finally said he’d come out on 3/18/21 at noon. It’s now almost 1pm and he’s still not here. Their service was great when they wanted our money but now that we have paid, it seems we are not longer a priority and they don’t care to come fix whatever the problem may be. Very disappointing. We spent thousands of dollars and our basement still feels very cold!"
"project was to remedy conditions in large crawlspaces. Removed existing insulation, encapsulated floor and walls, addressed mold issues, and installed new ventilating equipment. entire crew was a pleasure to work with. arrived on time,left area spotless when through, and resolved all issues. highly recommend"
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.
Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.
There shouldn’t be any gaps between your walls and ceiling. These can be fixed with joint compound but that is only a fix, and it’s much better if your drywall fits correctly in the first place. Sometimes gaps can appear if your foundation shifts significantly but if this is the case, you have a much bigger problem than patching drywall.
Drywall texture refers to the techniques used on the surface of drywall to create a pleasing visual or tactile effect. Depending on your desired outcome, drywall texture can range from incredibly subtle to a focal point of a room. Textures play a significant role in interior design and are an excellent and relatively cost-effective way to change the feeling of a room.
Yes, applying a texture can hide minor imperfections and irregularities in drywall, but it will not cover significant damage like nail marks or screw holes. The best texture depends on the size of the flaws. For minor imperfections, popular choices like orange peel, sand, or popcorn texture are effective. For larger imperfections, you may need a more prominent style, such as a knockdown or trowel finish, to conceal them effectively.
