"Cny insulation came to my facility and our attic had very little insulation. They put blown in insulation, cellulose, along with fixing a bathroom vent, and a ventilation pipe. The before and after pictures showed over 15" of cellulose. They left the premises (church) immaculate. I would recommend to anyone. What a great job!"

"Had the underside of my cabin sprayed with foam insulation. I couldn't be happier. The floors were MUCH warmer this past winter. As a couple unexpected bonuses, the floors were much quieter, no creaking and the overall warmth of the cabin was NOTICEABLY warmer.. work was completed sooner than expected at a reasonable price! Thank you! Mike S."

"Scott arrived punctually for our first meeting and thoughtfully and thoroughly analyzed our problem (mold on peak of cathedral ceiling).  He listened carefully to our thoughts and explained his analysis clearly and completely.  He provided us with examples of similar situations he had addressed, successfully, in the past. He also showed us photos of his previous work. He spent over an hour with us, answering all questions and outlining his processes.  

After we agreed to have him do the job, he provided an extensive written contract for the work.  Our lawyer reviewed the contract and made several suggestions.  Scott quickly adjusted the contract to address our lawyer's concerns.  He scheduled the work promptly and it was completed in the agreed upon time frame.  We asked for the new electrical circuit to be labelled, and Scott took care of this without additional reminders, although I don't believe this was part of his usual service. There were no add ons to the bill.

After the work, Scott responded to questions and promised referrals to mold remediation services if required.  We've called him several times with questions, and he has always responded promptly with useful answers.

We have been totally satisfied with Scott Knapp and Rfactor from start to finish and would recommend him enthusiastically and without reservation to anyone with a similar problem."

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

Walls should be as smooth as possible before applying peel-and-stick wallpaper. Although you technically can apply wallpaper on textured walls, the peel-and-stick variety won’t last long without a clean, smooth surface for the adhesive to stick to. If you have textured walls, consult a pro about removing the textured finish before moving forward with wallpaper.

Drywall anchors won’t work on plaster. Instead, they will more than likely cause more damage and pull out the plaster. The best type of anchors to use on plaster walls are the ones that will bite into the surrounding area, such as molly bolts and toggle bolts. Masonry anchors with expanders on the sides also work for lighter pictures.

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.

Technically speaking, you can use drywall primer over plasters. However, oil-based primers work the most effectively on wall plasters. Meanwhile, water-based primers work just as well with drywalls. Nowadays, there are also universal primers suitable for drywall and plaster. Overall, you will be fine as long as you are using a trustworthy brand.

You should wait at least 24 hours for drywall mud to dry before sanding or applying another coat. However, the exact drying time depends on several factors, including the thickness of the application, room temperature, humidity, and the type of compound used. Thicker layers, or projects in high humidity, may require 48 hours or more. Lightweight compounds tend to dry faster than heavier, all-purpose ones. You'll know the mud is ready when it feels completely dry and firm to the touch and has changed to a consistent light color. Sanding too early can cause smudging or gouges, so patience is essential for a smooth finish.
