"I wanted to get my attic insulated. First, I reviewed what materials would be best to use, what a quality inspection of the work to be done should consist of, estimates for the work to be done. Then I obtained three proposals for the jobs. One was ridiculously high. The lowest was based on a cursory inspection and accompanied by legalese language mentioning that the initially quoted price was subject to change, that a lien could be placed on the property, etc. I selected JJ&Kâ s proposal. It was based on a thorough inspection, and the price was in line with my expectations. Alfredo Oleasâ team was professional and courteous. They did what I would consider a quality job. They followed required safety precautions and cleaned up after the work. Alfredo was a pleasure to work with, and I highly recommend his company."
"As a retired contractor I can say that these guys do it right. Estimator/salesman (Jay) arrived right on time for his appointment and sent an estimate by email within about twelve hours. Calls were returned, questions answered and proposal was clear and to the point. Appointment was scheduled with no difficulty and the crew - two very tidy men - arrived a few minutes early for the installation. (Jake and a name I did not catch) The job consisted of spraying a confined attic area which contains an air handler and the box beam around the cellar foundation. This was all done cleanly and within a few of hours. Drop clothes were placed every where necessary and the floors were covered more than adequately. When they left, other than the work they had done, I would not have known they had been here.
This was a retrofit to stop heat leakage from the attic area which contains the air handler and which was causing enormous icicles over the front entrance and cold infiltration from the cellar. This was something of an experiment to see what difference the insulation will make this winter. They have other insulation services and I will be calling them to price a couple of other projects as time and cash flow allow. Keep in mind, spray foam is lumpy. It does not present a flat surface when finished and no one should expect it to disappear into the background unless it is behind sheetrock. That is another kind of installation.

"Quartz Insulation, Inc team installed foam insulation in our attic. They were professional, effective, and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend this company for your attic insulation or similar work."
"Comprehensive estimate, especially compared to another estimate that I got which was cheaper. I ended up getting our house insulated with MetroNY given how detailed and the time and effort spent on giving me the right estimate for the job. The insulation was professional and the manager, Billy, was super polite and took extra time to understand what was going on in between the walls and floors. We now have the added benefit that the noise from the train that runs through our back yard is muffled thanks to the insulation. We await the cold of the winter to see if it worked. Antoinette"
A common cause of separation between a wall and the ceiling is truss lift—this can happen to the ceiling of rooms directly under the attic when the seasons change and wood building materials dry out, shrink, and shift. Roof trusses often dry out at different speeds, and if the bottom pieces dry out faster than the top pieces, they can shrink and pull the attached drywall away from ceilings and walls, causing cracks. Fortunately, truss lift is only a cosmetic problem, not a structural problem, and you can fix it by separating the ceiling drywall from the roof trusses, and patching the cracks.
If your home’s foundation shifts slightly over time, any seams in the drywall represent the weakest point in the wall, leading to cracks. If your home has significant changes in temperature and humidity, this can cause the drywall to swell and contract slightly, causing a crack at the weak point of the seam. If your drywall installer did a poor job securing the panels to the wall studs, this could cause a weak layout and cracks in the seams.
The person’s skill will affect how many drywall sheets they can hang in one day. Some people can hang 10 or more sheets in a day, while others may only hang six or seven sheets. It also depends on the framing complexity since custom cutting and fitting the drywall can prolong the process.
In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.
It’s always better to follow proven drywall repair tips and fix the seams that look bad. However, if you simply want to make them less noticeable until you have time to fix them, you can use paint. A darker color of paint makes bad drywall tape seams less noticeable than light-colored paint. Matte paint hides bad seams better than glossy paint does, too.
