"Our large church / school facility required insulation upgrades due to high utility costs and severe gutter icing. We chose Installed Services due to their favorable bid, ability to provide knowledgeable explanation of our insulation issues, and responsiveness to questions / communications. Work was completed in a timely manner. We would likely hire them again if we need further services in the future."

Torsten Hansen has the patience of a saint.  As I was considering my options with other companies, I bombarded him with a multitude of questions which he answered thoroughly and in a timely manner.

His price was the best.  



 I have one complaint.  I have a bedroom above an unheated garage.  We removed the old drywall and fiberglass insulation which was riddled with squirrel mess.  We also added air conditioning to the house.  There are heating/air conditioning ducts running at the side of one garage wall and across 3 areas of the garage ceiling. The HVAC contractor said to make sure those were well insulated or humid air would condense on the ducts and damage the new drywall.  I thought that foam would be the best option.

Pure Seal did a really good job of insulating the side vents with high density foam. I had the ceilings and walls done in medium density foam.  But, they left the bottom halves of the ducts across the ceiling unfoamed.  In all but a few spots there was a good 2 inches or more space from the bottom of the vent to the end of the joist.  I measured it . Torsten went out and looked at it from the ground and said there was nothing they could do.  He said if I was worried about condensing water dripping onto the underside of the drywall when the air was on, I could staple some plastic over the areas.  Not a good solution.

 

I tried to foam the vents myself with Great Stuff, but it would not stick to the horizontal surface of the ceiling ducts.  It kept falling off.  So I wound up ripping the vapor barrier off of some fiberglass insulation and tapping it up in the cavity below the ceiling vents.  I then covered the fiberglass with reflectix stapled to the joists.  I told Torsten what I did and he thanked me for taking care of it but stuck by his decision that they could not have done anything.

 

I was disappointed because this was one of the main reasons I wanted foam. 

 



They also cut a wire in trimming the foam but he did offer to pay to fix that. My electrician was doing something else for us so he did not charge us.  That kind of stuff happens and I would not fault him for that but they should have caught it when they inspected their job instead of me having to tell them about it.

"We scheduled to have an estimate done for insulating our house due to the drafts in our house. The man doing the estimate was on time and professional. and more importantly was honest and told us our house was insulated adequately. There were a few spots above the windows that were lacking insulation. He told us we could spend money to fill those few spots but it wasn't a big problem. We appreciated his honesty and not looking to make a quick buck.

"Our experience was with Berry Insulation was wonderful. From the initial insulation evaluation with Paul through the completion of the project with Steve and his team, I was met with professionalism, competency, attention to detail, and respect. Paul, the sales evaluator, alerted me to rebate opportunities from Dominion and made multiple trips to the house, answered email quickly, and made numerous invoice revisions. Regarding the work itself - I was so very impressed with Steve and his project team. He truly was incredibly conscientious in doing a great job. He answered questions and kept me apprised of all steps of the process. Steve was kind and completely professional. The team with Steve -- each and every one of them -- was so very wonderful. Alex did an impeccable installation of the gable vents and the register vent and in all of the rest of his work. Anthony and Andrew were equally as capable and equally as expert in all of their work. I was truly blown away by every person on-site. Truly this was a great team and the house is already noticeably more comfortable! Thank you for all of the service from start to finish."

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

Both plaster and drywall are durable wall finishes, but they differ significantly in installation, cost, performance, and aesthetics.

Installation & Cost: Drywall installation is faster and more affordable, typically costing $1.50 to $3 per square foot. It uses premade sheets, making it a more accessible DIY project. Plastering is a labor-intensive craft that requires specialized skills, pushing costs to $2 to $10 per square foot. It involves applying a wet paste over a lath framework.

Durability & Performance: Plaster is generally more durable, longer-lasting, and provides superior soundproofing. It is also a better insulator, which can help reduce energy costs. Drywall is easier to remove for future renovations.

Aesthetics: Drywall provides a smooth, uniform surface ready for paint or texture. Plaster offers a high-end, naturally textured look that can hide imperfections and is often preferred for achieving a classic or historic aesthetic.

Which is better? The choice depends on your priorities. Drywall is ideal for those prioritizing a lower upfront cost, faster installation, and DIY potential. Plaster is the better option for a higher-end project where durability, soundproofing, and a unique, premium finish are more important than the initial cost.

It is possible to apply plaster on the interior or exterior of your home, but we don’t recommend it. Plaster is easy to apply in theory, but in reality, it can be a challenging material to work with, and it’s difficult to get the finished product to look clean, even, and smooth. Many DIYers end up calling in a professional afterward to touch up the area or even redo it entirely because of mistakes they made in the process. Hiring a plaster pro will cost more, but it’s usually the best option to achieve high-quality results.

Popular wall textures include orange peel, knockdown, spray sand, and smooth finishes. Orange peel and knockdown are particularly common choices for drywall as they are simple and cost-effective. Orange peel texture has a lightly bumpy surface resembling the skin of an orange, while knockdown (sometimes called knockout) looks like a stucco finish with flattened high spots. In contrast, popcorn texture has fallen out of fashion, partly due to its past association with asbestos and a shift toward more restrained interior design styles.

You should stagger drywall sheets to help prevent cracking. The joints between drywall sheets are the weak spots, so if you install drywall with seams aligned, you’ll create weak lines that run across the length of the wall and extend from floor to ceiling. But when you stagger drywall, the solid sections of panels will support the joints. This can prevent seams from cracking or separating due to fluctuating temperature and humidity, vibrations from movement inside the home, and gravity.

In many cases, installing new drywall will boost your home value. Replacing old, damaged, cracked, or wavy drywall is a great way to improve the look and feel of your home, as new drywall installed by a professional shouldn’t have any imperfections. Additionally, removing old drywall means you’ll have open walls, so you can install new insulation and address exposed issues with plumbing and electrical systems running behind the walls. All of these fixes will also add to your home’s value.
