"Had a visit today from Primary Home Improvements! Great team and awesome service! We now have insulation in our attic. The guys that came today were awesome! Have you ever expected a contractor and they showed up hours later than planned. These guys were not only on time but immediately began working. They were done in plenty of time and even vacuumed leaving our home in better shape than when they arrived! We highly recommend Primary Home Improvements for your insulation needs"

"We originally had Home Genius do our roof last year, so when it was time to do our siding a few months ago we called them again because of their exceptional service and professionalism. And now we just had some windows replaced and will be calling them for any future needs."

"I highly commend this company. Unfortunately I could not have them do the job. He came out, on time, to give me estimate on insulation. He was very honest with me! To do this Job would have required me to have additional projectsâ replace aluminum siding, and holes would be in paneling which was wallpapered over. I am recently widowed and will probably be downsizing in few years. Rather than spending money and doing other projects, decided not to do it. Most companies would have said â oh yes, we can do thisâ and them made a mess! Itâ s nice to know there are still decent, honest companies around."

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

You can skim coat plaster, but it’s better to repair the plaster itself. A skim coat is a thin coat of drywall joint compound spread over the surface of a wall. The result is a flat finish that looks pleasing, but part of the appeal of plaster is its imperfections and aesthetic. Skim coating is best when limited to drywall applications.

You can usually tell if you have plaster or drywall by touch (plaster is harder, colder, and smoother than drywall) or by tapping on it (drywall sounds hollow, plaster does not). If you still cannot tell, peek under an outlet cover and check the cut edges. The rough edges show the composition of the wall. You will see either drywall (two paper sheets sandwiching gypsum material) or only plaster material (no paper sheets).

Plaster is denser, harder, and more porous than drywall, so it absorbs moisture differently. This means you’ll often need more prep work, such as thorough sanding, patching, and priming with a high-quality bonding primer. Additionally, you may need more coats of paint to achieve even coverage. While the process takes more time, it helps ensure a durable and professional-looking result.

When you are learning how to tape and mud drywall, waiting for things to dry requires a lot of patience. So how long does drywall mud take to dry? On average, it takes about 24 hours. However, it depends on things like the thickness of the mud, as well as the room’s temperature, humidity, and ventilation. Using thin layers of mud in a warm, low-humidity room with good airflow reduces average drying time. You also could speed up drying time by making use of hot drywall mud, which consists of a powder that you mix with water, instead of using pre-mixed mud. 

Drywall tape is made of paper, while drywall mesh is made of fiberglass or metal. Drywall mesh patches are suitable for repairing small holes in drywall, while paper drywall tape holds a crease better for corners. You need joint compound to adhere drywall tape to the wall, while mesh patches may be self-adhesive.
