"Matthew was personable and polite. He showed me where I was losing heat in my house and answered all of my questions honestly and thoroughly. At this time, I will not be electing to add insulation, in favor of an easier solution, and I am very appreciative that he didn’t try to sway me otherwise. If/when I elect to add insulation, I will definitely be contacting Matthew!"

"Team was on time, pleasant and easy to work with. They werea also able to work around a delay in another home improvement project that was in process. The team was able to complete the task in a very timely manner. However, the additional access panel was not executed as outlined on the contract and they were able to work with the other contractor and improvised a different access point to install the insulation."

"There were two crews working at the same time.  The insulation crew headed by Jim worked outside for three days in the extreme heat, the 2nd day hitting a temp of 101.  They insulated  inside and out and you would never know they were here.  They cleaned up every last scrap and vacuumed all the residue.  They were efficient, professional and  personable to work with.    The HVAC crew, Mike and Frank had to remove my cast iron furnace that the previous owners had set in cement; (the guys said it looked like the furnace was put in and the house was built around it!)  It was quite a job getting that out of my basement but, they did it!. They were also very professional, friendly and answered all my questions with courtesey and information I could understand.  They even programmed my thermostat and explained how I could change it if needed.    I now have a high efficiency heating and air con system that should decrease my energy bills to a third of what I was paying and I won't have to freeze this winter.    I would highly recommend Green Homes and will call on them again when I am ready to replace my old windows."

Drywall Insulation FAQs, answered by experts

You can put drywall mud over paint to even out the surface or entirely resurface it. Sand the surface with 280-grit sandpaper, vacuum the debris and dust with a shop vac, and clean it with a slightly damp cloth. Allow the surface to dry. Apply drywall primer, especially if you’re skim-coating an entire wall. Apply the right type of drywall mud over the surface and smooth it with a trowel. Allow the layer to cure fully, then sand it before applying another layer or painting it.

New plaster must be fully dry and cured before painting. The drying time for plaster ranges from 1 to 4 hours, but the curing process can take more than five days, depending on various factors, including humidity levels, temperature, the amount of plaster used, and airflow in the area. You should always apply primer before painting plaster.

You can skim coat plaster, but it’s better to repair the plaster itself. A skim coat is a thin coat of drywall joint compound spread over the surface of a wall. The result is a flat finish that looks pleasing, but part of the appeal of plaster is its imperfections and aesthetic. Skim coating is best when limited to drywall applications.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

It’s less costly to drywall a fireplace than shiplapping it since material costs are higher for shiplap. However, if you’re DIYing the project, shiplap is less expensive since you won’t have to pay for labor. With drywall, getting a smooth finish is difficult unless you’re a pro. Shiplap is ideal for an accent wall or unique space, such as around a fireplace, since it adds texture and gives off a cozy vibe.
