"I got several estimates from several providers. The pricing seemed just ok with those other providers but something seemed off. Good Life came in and made sure that I was getting the correct amount of insulation (where the other service providers had under estimated) and helped me to get into a loan through the utility company for the cost of the insulation. Good life is a qualifying contractor for this and it saved me a lot of out of pocket expense. They came in and did what they had to do. They were professional and made sure the work was done well."
"They did a great job of blowing the insulation in my attic. They were efficient and courteous of our needs very happy with the work performed. I would highly recommend it. I will be calling them to insulate my walls this spring."
"Stu and his team did an excellent job. They were very professional and quickly, efficiently and cleanly put new blown insulation on the attic floor of my old house. He also explained clearly how the insulation works, the R values and benefits. Thank you Discount Insulation."
"Great Customer Service equals great company. This is the first review I have ever written, but I was so impressed with Good Life Energy Savers that I had no option. Based on other internet reviews I hired Good Life Energy Savers to insulate my attic and exterior walls. Based on only a two-year sample I saved about 20% on my oil costs, but that is not why I am writing this review. This past Friday I called Good Life Energy Savers about an issue I found. I was told they would get back to me on Monday, and they did. They asked if they could come by to see the issues the same day, which they did. They acknowledged the issue and simply said they will take care of it, and they did. On Thursday morning a crew came by to fix it. They did an excellent job and went above and beyond to satisfy me (the customer). Having been in the business world for over 40 years, I know not every job goes perfectly, so good customer service is important. This was excellent customer service. I could not believe the effort they put in to make the job perfect. Thank you, Mike and the team Sincerely, Mark O"
"Fausto and his team were great! I would have no hesitation in using them again. I had the attic space of a two-family building insulated with blown-in cellulose. I had already used Tigasi Home Improvement for a smaller Rockwool basement ceiling job and they were very reasonable in price, thorough and clean so I turned to them for this project. Again they gave me what I thought was a reasonable quote for removing old insulation, sealing gaps and then insulation, and Fausto explained the process well. He was very patient and understanding with my tenants' concerns, as access was via a drop down ladder in one unit's hallway. I also wanted an extended platform for storage in the attic and they were able to sort this out for a reasonable price.The team kept the job site extremely tidy and they were pleasant throughout. I would not hesitate to use Tigasi gain for another project. Plus I found them to be just really, really nice guys! A before pic and some after here."
"I recently had the pleasure of working with Energy Evolution for a spray foam insulation job, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Their main technician Cristian, was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly thorough from start to finish. He took the time to explain the process, answered all my questions, and made sure every detail was handled with precision.
If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, skilled, and committed to doing top-notch work, I highly recommend them. Thank you for a job exceptionally well done!"
"Joe and his team were extremely knowledgeable - he thoughtfully explained our options and walked me through the benefits of each. Would recommend Koala for your insulation needs."
"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."

Deciding whether to repair or replace drywall can be tricky, but your top considerations should be the extent of the damage and what caused the damage. For instance, if you need to repair a small hole caused by a doorknob that hit the wall, you can safely patch it without a second thought. However, if you have significant drywall damage caused by water damage, it’s best to thoroughly remove the drywall to inspect and repair the pipes behind it before replacing it.
If you already have plaster walls and ceilings, adding new plaster costs $2 to $10 per square foot. For an average-sized room, that would come out to $1,200 to $10,000. However, the cost to replace plaster with drywall is higher—running between $720 and $1,250 for a 10-by-8-foot wall or ceiling (not including drywall finishing).
The best way to make long, straight cuts is to use a utility knife and a T-square to score the sheet, snap along the score, and then finish the cut by cutting through the paper on the opposite side with the utility knife. If you’re making small cuts, curved cuts, or cutouts for electrical boxes or light fixtures, you can use a manual jab saw to keep costs down, but an electric spiral saw or oscillating multi-tool will get the cleanest, fastest cuts possible.
Glass walls are more expensive overall than their brick or drywall counterparts. However, if you need walls for a building with more than two or three stories, glass walls are the more budget-friendly option.
Whether a drywall anchor can be reused depends on its material, type, and the method of removal. Plastic anchors, including expansion and self-drilling types, are generally designed for single use as they tend to break or deform upon removal. Metal anchors, such as toggle bolts, are more durable and may be reusable if they are not damaged during extraction. However, with toggle bolts, the toggle piece can fall into the wall cavity when the bolt is removed, making it difficult to retrieve. If an anchor is damaged during removal, for instance by having its head cut off, it cannot be reused regardless of the material.
