"Koala Insulation did a great job for our family. They were on time, very clean and did a great job. They weren't pushy and helped us understand what our house needed. We would recommend them to all of our friends and family."

"Well, the first time the replacement was ordered it was the wrong one, which of course, delayed the installation a week. When it was finally installed I had to pay an additional $850 for code upgrades. This I was not informed of by Home Shield. Then we noticed that there was water on the garage floor and found that the pipe coming in from the wall was leaking at the wall so had to call the plumbing company back out to fix it. They first tried to say it was not their fault but since there wasn't a leak before they installed they did fix it. I have used Home Shield a few times before and never had a problem. Some of the companies they use are not the best so you have to research them before you commit. I have found HS service to be good if you do your homework. At the end of the day I was without hot water for almost 3 weeks but it was do to the plumbing company they sent out."

"I had them come over and do a price on a rental property basement. The house is worth about 80k and I explained to him that as an appt I didn't want to invest a lot of money. Tenants do not usually care for things the same way the homeowner would. He came back with a price of 15 to 20k. For simply drywall and plaster. I asked him to break down the PLASTER only price...and was quoted 5k. I had my 1st floor done last year...full kitchen and dining area and a large stairway with 20 foot ceilings. I was charged just over 700 for the work through my contractor. I would have had them working again but they are tied up for 6 months and I couldn't wait. After telling him I thought the price was awfully high for the small area. He then made me fell like I was a total CHEAPSKATE. In tough economic times and with all his great reviews I was very disappointed in his attitude. I think the man was a sales rep for the company. But was a bit of a smart*expletive*. Which just wasn't the attitude I would want from anyone doing work for me. BTW I own 4 rental properties...and I put 25k into the upper floor remodel. So I really don't consider myself CHEAP. But I'll keep my 20k in my pocket and spend 8 with another contractor."

Drywall Insulation FAQs, answered by experts

A nail in drywall cannot hold very much—usually only a few pounds. A nail in a stud can add support and hold around 20 pounds. If you are trying to hang something heavier, get some help from drywall anchors—toggle bolts are very strong and able to withstand more weight.

Costs depend on labor, material quality, wall preparation, and finishing requirements.

According to the EPA, mold grows within 24 to 48 hours if left untreated after a water leak. So unless you notice the leak and stop it right away, you only have a day or so before mold is a real concern. If you don’t notice the leak, it can take about three weeks for the mold spores to become visible. That means you’ve likely had an active mold infection for a few weeks by the time you notice discoloration.

All plaster walls will crack over time due to normal house settling and expansion and contraction from temperature and moisture changes. Small, thin hairline cracks are generally not serious and are mostly a cosmetic issue. However, larger or more significant cracks can indicate structural problems.

Here's how to tell the difference:

  • Cosmetic Cracks: Cracks that are 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) or thinner are typically cosmetic.

  • Structural Cracks: Cracks wider than 0.5 cm, excessive or deep cracks, multiple cracks in the same area, or cracks that span around corners can signify a structural or foundation issue. Cracks along the joints where walls meet the ceiling also warrant attention.

For cracks wider than 0.5 cm, structural repair is needed. If a crack is 2.5 cm (1 inch) or wider, or if you notice any signs of a structural problem, it is best to contact a plaster repair professional to assess the damage.

Whether a drywall anchor can be reused depends on its material, type, and the method of removal. Plastic anchors, including expansion and self-drilling types, are generally designed for single use as they tend to break or deform upon removal. Metal anchors, such as toggle bolts, are more durable and may be reusable if they are not damaged during extraction. However, with toggle bolts, the toggle piece can fall into the wall cavity when the bolt is removed, making it difficult to retrieve. If an anchor is damaged during removal, for instance by having its head cut off, it cannot be reused regardless of the material.
