"From the date of the estimate to the actual installation everything was great. Very professional group. Some of the nicest people as far as contractors I have had in my house. Very clean and very polite. All work was done in a professional and clean manner. Arrived on time and finished when they said they would."
"I had spray foam insulation in my crawl space basement installed. M&R was helpful with answering questions and completed the work in a high quality manner! I will hire them again in the future!"
"Real pros! They also installed new hot water boiler, a/c unit and improved basement insulation at my place. Would definitely hire again and strongly recommend"
"We had a moisture issue with our skylights in our vaulted ceiling. After talking over several options, decided that a tear down and closed cell spray foam application was the most permanent solution to this problem. We met with several companies about the job and ran into an issue getting a comfortable feeling with each contractor until we met Paul. The job required a tear-down of the ceiling, the batt and cellulose insulation, spray foam application, some shims on the rafter for the new drywall to replace the thickness by some previous foam board, drywall, texture, and then multiple coats of paint and primer. There were a lot of angles around the skylights as well to top it off. When we met with Paul he went through the steps he would take to complete the job. He talked a lot about the prep work and what that process entailed (an important step for us since we just repainted the walls, installed some bookcases, and put in new hardwood floors) and most importantly, instilled in us a sense of confidence that he could and would get the job done. The job was not scheduled to start right away due to the cold weather so our confidence in Paul was demonstrated by his follow-up and follow-through when we were ready. It was a good feeling for us, as in the past we've had contractors bail out after waiting a period of time and also change their quotes. Paul was true to his word. We are thankful for the diligent prep work. The house was closed off in that section and it was like bomb had gone off inside of it. The blown-in cellulose was everywhere and then when the drywall dust came, you had to wonder if the finished product would ever look like it used to! The crew was very respectful and they really busted their backs getting the job done. My wife felt very comfortable with them in the house with our two little kids and we even felt comfortable leaving the house to them while they worked. When the process was finished, my wife remarked at how it looked as if nothing had ever happened! We were very appreciative to Paul and his crew for the work that they did. They showed great accountability and service and we got a good sense of their integrity. We are very thankful to have found him and we will be using him for future projects. "

Drywall can be toxic to the environment and to humans in some cases. As drywall breaks down in a landfill and comes in contact with other organic chemicals, it can create hydrogen sulfide gas or leach into the groundwater. Additionally, the CDC recommends methods for controlling the inhalation of drywall dust when handled. While the common ingredients of drywall—gypsum, silica, and mica—are naturally occurring, they can cause irritation in some humans.
Options include bricks, natural stone, and concrete blocks. Choose based on durability, aesthetics, and budget.
The amount of drywall you need for a 1,000-square-foot basement depends on the ceiling height, angles, number of doors and windows, and more. To find the wall square footage, multiply the width and height of each wall, minus any gaps from windows or doors, and add the totals together. You’ll also need enough drywood nails or screws to install the drywall correctly.
Pros ensure smooth finishes and lasting repairs, avoiding visible patches.
Eco-friendly options reduce environmental impact and often improve indoor air quality.
