Customers say: True professional

"My husband and I chose True Building Performance because of their 5-star rating. We were very impressed with Paul’s timely responses to our calls and questions and the team’s professionalism throughout the process of insulating our attic. Paul and Joe took the time to show and explain to us exactly what the job would entail, and we trust that their work was completed in an excellent manner. It was a pleasure to interact with their team, who were punctual, respectful and considerate of our home. They demonstrated competence and congeniality when interacting with each other which we greatly appreciated. They offered a fair price for the job, and there were no surprises with additional costs. We gladly concur with the 5-star rating!"

"The team from The Climate Chief were very professional from day one. They laid out plastic sheeting to protect our recently refinished hard wood floors. Cleaned up any messes from the blown in insulation. Covered the doorway by utilizing TEVEC house wrap and tape so we would not lose much heat when the hoses were running. At the end of each day one of the employees would pick up the plastic sheeting and sweep the floors and they would pick up all the tools so not to leave a cluttered workplace inside and outside. Billy Mike, and crew were very happy and cheerful while at work. Very knowledgeable about how to seal up any of the existing open areas. They removed all the existing fiberglass insulation before replacing with 18 inches of cellulose R60. A very professional job we are very pleased to say. We noticed a warmer difference in room temperatures right away! We would strongly recommend them to others!"

"Dealing with drafty walls and escalating heating costs was a persistent issue in our home, until we discovered Saratoga Cellulose & Foam. The difference they made was nothing short of miraculous. What sets them apart, aside from their exceptional service, is the depth of knowledge and expertise that Travis, the owner, brings to the table. Travis and his team tackled a significant challenge in our home â removing old fiberglass insulation that had been severely damaged by mice. Not only did they efficiently clear out the old material, but they also replaced it with top-notch cellulose insulation containing borate. This choice was ingenious, as the borate makes the insulation unappealing to mice and insects, effectively addressing our pest problem alongside the insulation upgrade. The transformation in our home was immediate and profound. The drafts that once made living spaces uncomfortable are now completely gone. Our house is not only warmer and cozier but also healthier and more energy-efficient, leading to noticeably lower heating bills. I'm thoroughly impressed by the professionalism and skill demonstrated by Travis and his team. Their work didn't just improve our home; it enhanced our daily living quality. I highly recommend Saratoga Cellulose & Foam to anyone looking for top-tier insulation services. They don't just do the job â they do it with excellence and a deep understanding of what your home needs."

"Asked for a quote on removing an old deck, replacing with a larger one. Price quoted was fair, and we accepted. We're very pleased with the final product, and the whole ordeal was hassle-free for me and my wife. Every worker involved was very professional. Communication from start to finish was excellent, and I feel the job was completed faster than we had expected. Will be using this company in the future for other projects."

"Matt was exceptional. He did a great job. Mice in the attic. He secured the areas outside where the mice were getting in. Then he set traps and replaced a vent in the attic. His price was very reasonable and he offers a warranty. I would highly recommend Matt from Got It!!"

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

It’s highly recommended to use studs for a TV mount. The last thing you want is to be watching your favorite show when the TV falls off the wall. Studs are much stronger than drywall and quite a bit stronger than drywall anchors but, if you can’t find the studs or there simply aren’t any where you need them, you can use drywall anchors. It’s extremely important to make sure the anchors are rated for the load of the TV. We recommend using anchors that are rated far beyond the weight of whatever you’re hanging. Our suggestion is metal drywall toggle anchors. 

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. 

You should leave a gap between drywall sheets because they naturally expand and contract along with the building framing as temperature and humidity change. Most pro drywall installers leave a gap of about ⅛ inch between drywall sheets, allowing the sheets to expand, contract, and shift without cracking or becoming damaged. If you don’t leave enough gaps between slabs, the edges will press against each other when they expand, and the pressure can cause visible cracks.

Beadboard is a decorative element and lacks the structural integrity of drywall. It cannot hold much weight and is not meant to be used as an insulator or moisture barrier, like drywall is. In almost all cases, beadboard is placed over an existing wall surface which, in modern days, is usually drywall, but decades ago could have been wood paneling.

Brick and stucco are a lot more different. You must use picture hanging clips designed for brick walls, or use a plaster rail system with adjustable hooks. Any other type of hanging hardware will cause damage to the bricks behind. You won’t be able to really use nails, either, because they’re not strong enough to go into the bricks.
