"I can?t tell a difference in my energy bill. It is still extremely hot in the upstairs. After paying over $8,000 to have spray insulation done, I thought I would notice a significant change in temperature."
"I had forgotten I had insulation put in one wall that leads from garage to washer/dryer room and had asked them to insulate it as well. I wasnâ t home at the time they started. They informed me that the one wall did have insulation and reduced the price of the whole job. They could have charged me for the job but was honest and let me know that there was insulation already in it. Saved me $195"
"My installer was very knowledgeable and professional. His team promptly installed the insulation and baffles, as I requested, and tried to clean up afterward. I was already sweeping the garage, so I declined. The cost was exactly as quoted. Would be nice if they made it an option to pay online. (Maybe thatâ s possible now.) There was an immediate improvement in the comfort in the home. I would highly recommend this company."

"918 Red Dirt did a great job blowing in additional fiberglass insulation to bring my attic up to R-38 - my previous insulation had been raked away from the center for access, so it was probably like I didn't have any. They redistrubed the old insulation properly and then added the new. They were very careful NOT to block the openings for the soffit vents on my house, critical for allowing my recently installed roof vents to work, as the soffit vents serve as the intakes. My job was probably more expensive than normal, as a low roof with a false roof barrier made access very difficult."
"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!"
Drywalling a garage is a smart decision if you want to protect your garage from fires, moisture damage, and exterior noise. Most garages have flammable supplies that could result in serious damage in the off chance of an accident. Drywall is fire resistant, helping to prevent fires from spreading. Not to mention, drywall can improve the appearance of a dingy, old garage.
There are several benefits to wet-sanding drywall, but the main perk is that it produces far less dust than dry-sanding. As a result, wet-sanding poses fewer health risks and makes less of a mess in your home. Plus, damp sponges are less abrasive than sandpaper, so there’s a smaller chance of scratching or damaging the drywall paper. Wet-sanding also creates a smoother finish than dry-sanding.
In some minor cases, you can DIY drywall repair with minimal time and money spent. This method is best when you have a hole made by a singular problem, such as accidental furniture moving, and not a continuous problem, like a rodent infestation.
Knowing what product to use is crucial. For example, small holes only need spackle, whereas large holes might need a new piece of drywall. You can flex your DIY abilities on this project, but if you’d like a second opinion or have a more significant problem, it’s best to call in a drywall repair pro.
The average cost to apply a skip-trowel drywall texture to walls is $1.25 to $2.00 per square foot. Ceilings cost slightly more because of the increased difficulty of working overhead. Additional cost factors include any drywall repairs and removal of existing textures or wallpaper.
While it’s most common to sand plaster dry, it is possible to wet-sand plaster, too. Doing so can reduce the amount of plaster dust released into the air and make it easier to work in smaller, more delicate areas (such as around wall trim). However, some people find that wet sanding leads to more imperfections, which is why larger walls are more often dry sanded to ensure an even finish.
