"The project went well. The ladder install made a big mess but all was cleaned up. Decking install was good but area had to be reduced due to obstacles but still turned out to be plenty. Insulation was blown in and that also went well. I had some low gable vents that leaked the insulation that was blown up to them. I don’t think this could have been avoided, but that leakage blew back inside the back door and made a mess in the laundry room and kitchen. They offered to come back and clean this up but I went ahead and did the cleanup myself so it didn’t get tracked throughout the house. All things considered, I am very pleased with the job they did."

"Everyone from sales to installation is great to work with. Friendly, professional, and genuinely interested in doing what was right for our home. Chris and his crew removed old insulation, sealed around vents, and installed new MILO insulation. We had 2500 square feet of attic space that the job took 2.5 days to complete. The entire team was respectful of our property, everything was cleaned up after each day. Chris was excellent to make sure everything was completed properly, any concerns he took care of them. Highly recommend Milo Insulation."
"A lot of people recommended that we just do blown insulation because spray was expensive. After receiving many quotes from a variety of companies I chose Alpa Omega Insulation. The owner came out and was very honest and personable and his quote was reasonable compared to the other companies. During the work I had no problems contacting him whether it was via text or phone call, he always answered and returned my phone calls. During any construction you run into problems that push back the next step and I called him several times to reschedule due to last minute issues and he was always pleasant and professional and never had an issue. I can not say enough highly praised words for this company! I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs any insulation work done!"
"They removed the old blown-in insulation in attic. I had a huge amount of it and it had been seeping into the house through cracks, old intake holes in ceiling, etc. causing me a lot of health issues. They went above and beyond to get the job done. What was assumed to be a two day job turned into three but they were very professional, polite and accommodating. They sealed around all openings in attic after removal. I would hire them again. "
"Can't say enough good about this company. They were very quick to respond to my inquiry and the owner continued to maintain that same level of contact throughout the entire project. In my experience in dealing with contractors this is a rare and admirable quality. It is also indicative of their entire business mantra. I would not hesitate to use them again and definitely recommend them if you are looking for a competent and professional insulation company."

Yes, you can mount a TV on plaster walls—as long as you attach it to the studs. Alternatively, you can use toggle bolts, molly bolts, or another type of hardware that’s strong enough to support a TV.
If you aren’t comfortable with this type of project, you can hire a pro. The cost of mounting a TV to a plaster wall ranges from $25 to $600 (or more), depending on the TV’s weight, size, and other factors.
Costs depend on damage extent of damage, labor, finishing, and whether mold remediation is needed.
There are a few ways to figure out if your walls are plaster or drywall, but the pushpin method is probably the easiest option. To try it, choose a part of your wall where you can insert a pushpin or thumbtack without leaving an obvious mark. If it goes in easily, you have drywall. But if the wall is tough to penetrate, that’s plaster.
While textured walls can elevate a space in many ways, there are a couple of downsides to consider. Namely, they’re hard to clean, and some textures fall out of fashion quickly. Make sure to consider all your options to find one you truly love before diving in.
Choose a drill bit that is the size of the screws of the anchors you will use. You aren’t drilling through metal or concrete—hopefully—so any standard twist, wooden or all-purpose drill bit will work fine. It’s also important to have a screwdriver capable of drilling through the drywall and into the stud. The good news is most available drills, even the older ones, can do this with no issue.
