"Town Insulation came in on time, inspected and then gave me a quote. Everything was fine. It was really good, it's just that I decided to sell the house instead so I didn't move forward with it. I didn't have any issues with them. I think the price was standard. They were very responsive."

"The company could not have been more reliable. Estimate was thorough and detailed, installers were prompt, neat, professional, and considerate. They took time to explain all equipment to us. Follow-up inspection was timely and identified two issues needing correction, and that work was immediately addressed and completed."

"So far, I'm very impressed. It's a really big building.  Bats and squirrels have been a big problem. The crew came a number of times. They'll return to finish up over the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, everybody's been pleasant, professional, and punctual. I got follow-up calls to see if there were any concerns or questions. They gave me the best price out of 3 quotes.

Drywall Insulation FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you can install drywall over plaster, but there are important factors to consider. While it can create a smooth, flat surface, it is often not the best approach. Installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall's thickness, which can cause issues with existing window and door frames that may no longer fit. You might also need to adjust power outlets to keep them accessible. A better, though more expensive, option is to remove the old plaster and lath entirely before installing new drywall. Drywalling directly over plaster seals in the old material, and if any problems arise later, you will need to remove both layers down to the structural beams for repairs. Given the potential complications, this job is best handled by professionals.

Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.

Yes, any parts of drywall that are wet or overly moist will need to be replaced. Drywall is intended to be dry (it’s in the name, after all.), as excess moisture can lead to mold and mildew and eventually corrode your home’s foundational building pieces. Do regular inspections in your home to make sure all your plumbing is intact and in good condition—this will go a long way toward preventing leaks.

Regular dusting, occasional repainting, and avoiding harsh scrubbing preserve the finish.

Which style of corner bead you choose—whether metal or paper-faced—depends on your preference and if you’re comfortable using metal-cutting tools and a hammer. Metal bead offers superior strength and durability but its installation is slightly more involved. We’d say for most cases, it’s better to use metal bead but if you’re not comfortable working with metal, paper-faced bead will work just fine.
