"I'm a General Contractor (Jon Beer Contracting is my company) and recently worked with Corey and his team from Prestige Energy Solutions. We are doing a combination of a gut renovation and a new build on my own personal home that had a lot of tricky details and moving parts. From start to finish his team was professional, attentive, clean and skilled. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him for our future insulation needs."

"The end product and results were exactly what we were looking for, I wish we had done it years ago. Scheduling was a bit confusing and although they tried their best, there was more cleanup than I was expecting after they were done. What they do is not easy given the environment and time of year, a hot attic in the heat of summer is a really harsh environment. Would I use them again, YES. Now that I know what to expect."

This review is in progress.... upon reporting my difficulties, a manager was in touch and I felt he heard me completely.  I had written: The Manager, Dan addressed my concerns with great care and processed everyone of my concerns.  I now feel confident that no one else will be exposed to the mistakes this salesman made with me after speaking to the manager.  I also feel I understand what the process of treating my yard will be and the genuine concern they will take to make sure my service is excellent.  My research had revealed they were good at what they did.... I just encountered the wrong salesperson. 

But, the rewritten 2nd contract I received was about the same price even though I was offered a discount over the phone by the manager.   I emailed back that The prices are similar - the answer was the contracts are correct (that wasn't the question).  I heard nothing more until a guy to spray appears with the 1st more expensive contract, ready to spray.  He was told I was a "yes".  So I am waiting for the next contact to work this out. 

So editing this is in progress... My initial review below was based upon my encounter with their salesman last year (which was my only reason for giving them less than A ratings).  I impulsively reviewed Craig Thomas negatively, because I was frustrated by my past dealings with that one salesman and had just gotten bitten AGAIN by a tick (my yard is heavily wooded)  and I got Lyme Disease again.  .  A top Manager from Craig Thomas, Dan, called and emailed me trying to right this. I impulsively reviewed Craig Thomas because I was frustrated thinking about hiring them again, because I was unclear if they were even being effective, because after encountering their salesman, I gave up on going to my yard.  I was light touch about my complaint to their office, not clearly outlining how serious his behavior affected me.   After having dealt with the salesman, I was not sure what services I was receiving monthly, but now am very clear.  


MY ORIGINAL COMPLAINT:

The men who came to spray were professional and friendly. My suspicion is that everyone there is probably good and their product is good, but I cant bring myself to use them again... only because of one experience... one person there....

The reason I gave such a low rating to Craig Thomas and cannot even stomach calling them was their salesman.  I haven't been hustled like that since... well, since I used to dance the hustle in the 70s..  I am sorry to say such things about another human who I know has feelings, but he didn't treat me right at all.

The salesman had people to see (oh, but he said he'd stay longer since I had questions, doing me a favor), but he couldn't answer ANY of my questions (I was so glad I did my research on the company or I would have kicked this "there, there little honey, don't worry your little head about such details" guy out.)  Didn't know what ingredients were in anything - gave flippant answers.  As if he didn't have to know that stuff.  YIKES.  And he boasted about being arrogant: He said that if people call and might want to book the company that comes out fastest, he wouldn't work with those kind of people.  He denigrated those types and laughed that they had to sign a contract first and THEN they could find out when the next booking was.  He felt the company didn't have to operate that way - where people sometimes had needs above the company's.

I asked where they would spray, he couldn't tell me.  I tried to point out specific areas - I thought the foundation would be good and the salesman said that would be a definite.  He then winged it and fabricated what areas would be sprayed. The sprayers said that the foundations didn't have to be sprayed and there was no way that the areas were correct. After all my research, it felt so crummy to be hustled by this self-important man who was only in it for the commissions

When the professional sprayers came, I asked them about the areas they would spray and was dismayed it was all so different, but I was so beaten down I didn't even ask the questions I had had about the products being green or not. 

I found that as it was proceeding I didn't know if the treatments were working or not - I stopped going into my yard completely and I had a real block about paying them.  Not consciously, but there would always be some delay on my end... I didn't mean to do it, but I was unconsciously acting out.  The office would call and describe whatever difficulty they had with my payment and I would straighten it out.  The office staff were always top of the line and so polite to me!!! 

A contract was sent to me without any warning, which made my anger arise again about this. I told someone once in an office, but didn't make it a formal kind of complaint.  So, I'd say the office didn't know what I went through, so it is probably standard procedure. 

REMEDIES: The only way, I guess, I would  continue with them is if I never had to deal with the salesman again and that whatever commission for him that was built into the last and current contracts be returned to me. I'm in the process of getting another service.  If Craig Thomas's office wants to contact me, I will be glad to update this review, if we can work something out before I finalize elsewhere.

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

While every home has its own unique needs, ceiling drywall installation typically follows a staggered or stepped pattern to enhance structural integrity and reduce the visibility of seams. Starting from one corner, sheets are placed perpendicular to the ceiling joists, with the ends of adjacent sheets meeting along the center of the joist. The next row begins with a half sheet, ensuring joints don't align vertically. This alternating pattern, combined with proper taping and mudding, creates a seamless appearance and strengthens the ceiling structure, minimizing the risk of cracks over time.

There are some instances when you can use extra drywall in your garden. Ideally, unused scraps of new drywall are best for amending soil without the concern of additional chemicals or mold. However, drywall with paint, mold, or potential asbestos requires specialized disposal by a professional and should be kept out of your garden.

To properly clean and maintain your skip trowel drywall texture, dust the surface weekly with an electrostatic duster or vacuum with a soft brush attachment. Never scrub the surface. You can remove stains by gently applying a mild detergent solution with a paint roller, removing it with a damp roller, and drying with a dry roller. To cut down on cleaning frequency, avoid indoor smoking and limit the use of fireplaces.

This depends on how much plaster is applied and in how many layers, but a decent estimate is around 150 square feet. If you are applying only two coats on a small wall, there is a chance you may only need one or two gallons for the entire project. If you are plastering a large living room wall with high ceilings, using one of the more involved techniques–like Scagliola–that requires several coats, expect the project materials costs to add up quickly. 

Yes, you can speed up the time it takes for plaster to dry, but it's important to do so carefully to avoid issues like cracking or crumbling. Proper ventilation is key; open a window or use a fan to circulate air in the room. Heat can also accelerate drying, but be cautious, as too much heat can cause the plaster to dry too quickly and crack. Check the plaster's packaging for the recommended drying temperature and set the room's thermostat accordingly. While managing humidity is important, avoid using a dehumidifier, which can remove moisture too aggressively and result in crumbly plaster.
