"I can fully recommend 918 Red Dirt insulation! Carlos quoted our job and explained multiple options, as well as the how and why of blown insulation. Not only was Carlos' assessment of our job more thorough than other providers, his estimate was also the best. When he returned with an apprentice for the installation, they took great care in protecting the house, cleaned up perfectly, and walked me through everything they did for my confirmation."
"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!"
"After some heartfelt discussion, our miscommunications were rectified and we now have a solar system that is producing excess electricity, and the EnPhase monitoring system is top-notch! The staff at Solergy is always pleasant, respectful, and always works diligently within their roles. Roderick is very smart and has fulfilled his commitments. Based upon referrals from friends and our satisfaction with our solar installation we can recommend Solergy for a home solar power system."

In most cases, no, you won’t need a permit to replace drywall. If you’re changing the floorplan of your home by adding or removing walls during the drywall project, then you might need a permit, but replacement or repairs usually doesn’t require a permit. Your drywall professional should be able to confirm whether or not a permit is required for your project. If it is, it’s likely to add between $50 and $150 to your total cost. Keep in mind that you will need permits if you plan to install new electrical wiring or plumbing lines behind your new drywall.
The amount of drywall you need for a 1,000-square-foot basement depends on the ceiling height, angles, number of doors and windows, and more. To find the wall square footage, multiply the width and height of each wall, minus any gaps from windows or doors, and add the totals together. You’ll also need enough drywood nails or screws to install the drywall correctly.
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.
