"Cny insulation came to my facility and our attic had very little insulation. They put blown in insulation, cellulose, along with fixing a bathroom vent, and a ventilation pipe. The before and after pictures showed over 15" of cellulose. They left the premises (church) immaculate. I would recommend to anyone. What a great job!"

"The owner of the company did my estimate, and was wonderful in explaining things, and at no point did I feel I was being up sold or steered in any direction. The two installers were pleasant, quiet, worked clean and quickly. They left the house as clean as it had been when they arrived, and I am already appreciating a change in the air temperature in my upstairs. I would completely recommend Superior Insulation."

"There was no salesman to pay for like the others that offered estimates. The person that assessed my insulation needs is the person that did the work. I cannot stress enough what wonderful service I received from Polar Bear Insulation. Extra services were done for me that were not asked for. Punctuality, top notch work ethics, and courteousness were demonstrated. I so enjoyed the cheerfulness and laughter I heard while the work was being done. David is the best!!!!"

"Tony is very knowledgable when it comes to insulation and air sealing. We did not want to use spray foam insulation, and he came up with a good solution to airseal and insulate our cape-cod home so we no longer get 6 foot long icicycles in the winter. He/they are reliable and professional and I would not hesitate to recommend them for insulation of any property."

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

Both plaster and drywall are durable wall finishes, but they differ significantly in installation, cost, performance, and aesthetics.

Installation & Cost: Drywall installation is faster and more affordable, typically costing $1.50 to $3 per square foot. It uses premade sheets, making it a more accessible DIY project. Plastering is a labor-intensive craft that requires specialized skills, pushing costs to $2 to $10 per square foot. It involves applying a wet paste over a lath framework.

Durability & Performance: Plaster is generally more durable, longer-lasting, and provides superior soundproofing. It is also a better insulator, which can help reduce energy costs. Drywall is easier to remove for future renovations.

Aesthetics: Drywall provides a smooth, uniform surface ready for paint or texture. Plaster offers a high-end, naturally textured look that can hide imperfections and is often preferred for achieving a classic or historic aesthetic.

Which is better? The choice depends on your priorities. Drywall is ideal for those prioritizing a lower upfront cost, faster installation, and DIY potential. Plaster is the better option for a higher-end project where durability, soundproofing, and a unique, premium finish are more important than the initial cost.

Yes, you can hammer a nail into a wall stud. But before you do, it’s important to confirm that you’re actually nailing into a stud—and not wiring, pipes, or ductwork. To check, find a few more studs in the wall, then measure to make sure they’re either 16 or 24 inches apart.

A utility knife is sharp enough to score the drywall and it may work in a pinch for outlet box holes. However, one of the best tools for drywall when you need to make exact cuts for an outlet box quickly is a drywall saw. This handheld tool has a longer blade than a utility knife, so it penetrates the thickness of the drywall easily. The design of its handle and the teeth in its blade make it easier to control while cutting quicker than you can with a utility knife.

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.

Metal corners, often referred to as corner beads for square corners, are used on drywall installations to provide structural reinforcement to vulnerable outside corners. Their usage safeguards against chipping, denting, or other forms of damage, enhancing the overall durability of the wall. Metal corners also offer a precise and straight edge that facilitates sharp and clean lines, crucial for achieving a polished and professional finish.
