"We are extremely satisfied with the whole process of our house being insulated. First we had the walls done, and then a couple weeks later we had our attic insulated. The crew were so nice, friendly, and knowledgeable. We are very satisfied with everything. Thank you, everyone."

"Had our 100 year old home insulated. It has made the biggest difference. Price was a bit higher than other companies we had quotes from.The main reason we chose USA is because they did everything from the outside by taking off pieces of my siding. So happy!"

"I am remodeling my entire home from the foundation up and out of all the jobs I have hired out F.B.I. was by far my best investment. The quality of the work is outstanding, the customer service was amazing (I had a ton of questions about every aspect of the spray foam and they were very patient with me), and to top it off their price was the best around. My husband and I noticed how much better the house was holding heat the day they left. Amazing work. Next year when I put my Addition on I will be hiring them again."

"They came when scheduled to give an estimate. They had no problem when we cut the project back a little bit. Due to some equipment problems thy had to reschedule by one day, but these things happen. They showed up on time finished the work properly. They discovered two areas that we did not figure on during the estimate. They insulated these at no extra charge. When they finished the attic it was no hotter than the rest of the house. It seems their stuff works. The acid test will be in a Pennsylvania winter. LOL"

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

The two most common drywall thicknesses for ceilings are 1/2-inch and 5/8-inch. For most standard residential applications, 1/2-inch drywall is sufficient and widely used. It provides adequate support and is lighter and easier to handle during installation compared to thicker sheets. However, 5/8-inch drywall is often used for specific cases where additional benefits are needed. It is heavier but provides superior sound dampening and fire resistance. You should consider using 5/8-inch drywall for ceilings in commercial buildings, between a garage and a living space, or above a finished basement to meet building codes or for enhanced soundproofing.

The tool you use to sand plaster will depend on the size of the project. If you’re just working on a small section of your wall to get rid of an uneven spot on the surface, hand-sanding might work. However, for larger projects, a drywall sander can make a huge difference when it comes to both time and elbow grease—and an orbital sander can help for detailed areas such as around ceiling fans.

Wall anchors are suitable for drywall and plaster walls, which are common in most homes. However, different wall materials may require specialized anchors. For concrete or masonry walls, you'd typically use concrete anchors. When dealing with other wall types, such as brick or tile, specific anchors designed for those materials may be necessary. Always consult with a hardware specialist or check the manufacturer's recommendations to ensure you select the appropriate anchors for your specific wall type.

This depends on how much plaster is applied and in how many layers, but a decent estimate is around 150 square feet. If you are applying only two coats on a small wall, there is a chance you may only need one or two gallons for the entire project. If you are plastering a large living room wall with high ceilings, using one of the more involved techniques–like Scagliola–that requires several coats, expect the project materials costs to add up quickly. 

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.
