Can I use fiberglass insulation to soundproof a room?

• <div><p>We do not recommend fiberglass insulation for soundproofing purposes, especially if you are working on a room that’s part of your living space. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/diy-dangers-fiberglass-insulation-hazards.htm">Fiberglass insulation is dangerous</a>, and the installation process is hazardous. It is also harmful to the environment. When there are so many newer, healthier non-fiberglass alternatives in the market, the lower cost of fiberglass insulation simply doesn’t justify the harm and danger it poses.</p></div>

Q: What type of insulation do I need in my home?

• <div><p>The type of insulation you need in your home depends on your location, the installation site, and your region&rsquo;s climate. According to Energy Star, insulation in homes in the Southern United States should have an R-value of between R30 and R60 in attics and R13 to R25 in the floors and walls; homes in moderate climates require R values of R38 to R60 in attics and R25 to R30 in floors and walls; and homes in northern states require an R value of R49 to R60 in attics and R25 to R30 in floors and walls.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to hire an electrician when I have insulation installed?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re moving wires, installing new wires, or installing new fixtures in the space you&rsquo;re insulating, then you will need to <a href="https://www.angi.com/companylist/electrical.htm">hire a licensed electrician</a> to do that portion of the job for you. However, if you just intend on replacing old insulation or adding new insulation over existing insulation, then you don&rsquo;t need to hire one. Your insulation installer will work around wiring, fixtures, outlets, and switches, even if they&rsquo;re installing fiberglass batts in the voids where wires run. However, you will need an electrician if you suspect a problem with your wiring during the insulation work.</p></div>

Q: Can I install insulation behind drywall myself?

• <div><p>Yes, you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-install-insulation.htm">install insulation</a> behind drywall yourself, but only if your walls are not finished. If your studs are exposed, installing fiberglass insulation in roll or batt form is very straightforward and just requires a few tools and some safety equipment. If your walls are already finished and you&rsquo;re looking to add insulation, it&rsquo;s better to hire a professional, as you&rsquo;ll likely need blown-in insulation, which can be dangerous to work with and a challenge to get into the proper areas in your wall voids.</p></div>

Q: How does a radiant barrier work?

• <div><p>In addition to adding insulation to your attic, you may want to add a radiant barrier. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-does-radiant-barrier-work.htm">A radiant barrier works</a> by using reflective material, such as foil, on the attic floor. As heat penetrates the roof and enters the attic, the radiant barrier reflects the heat upward and back through the roof. If you receive a lot of direct sunlight on the roof, using both a radiant barrier and insulation in your attic can provide significant benefits.</p></div>

Excellent work at removing our mold problem. The only thing that we were unaware of is that if they need to cut out drywall, they do not repair it so we had to hire another contractor but overall great work.

He did an excellent job. It was very good. It wasn't much because it was actually redoing some drywall on the lower half. I have a split level so it was drywall over block, so it was just a small area.

He does good work. He is dependable and definitely not a fly-by-night type of guy. He is very honest and affordable. He's also done drywall and painting for us. He's also installed a new furnace. I've done a lot of remodeling and have used Dave for a lot of work.
