"Very easy to work with. The owner himself came out to give me an estimate. Mark completed the actual insulation. He was quick and he did a great job cleaning up the area after doing the spray insulation. Highly recommend!"

"I communicated with Ron directly and he was determined to solve our insulation problems. He had to remove drywall in our entranceway and add in insulation where there were large gaps and air was getting in. He had a worker drywall and patch up the wall. The drywall worker did an amazing job! 
Ron also fixed an ongoing issue we had in our garage ceiling that was causing our living room floor to be cold and drafty. He worked around our schedule and made multiple visits to our home to fix the issue. We are happy customers and happy to say that the problem is fixed. We were very pleased with Ron and his company and do recommend him highly.

"Courteous, diligent, professional and fair priced. Without reservation I would highly recommend Q-insulation. They installed rock wool insulation in all the ceilings and on the vertical attic walls in our historic brick victorian. They were prompt, on time and treated my home like it was their own. Thank you Valeria and the crew."

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

If the holes in the plaster are small, you can fill them with layers of patching plaster until they’re filled. After it dries, you can sand the plaster and paint over it. If the hole is much larger, consider using bonding plaster first and then a layer of patching plaster, completing the process with sanding and a layer of paint.

If you only have tiny holes in your drywall (for example, dents or nail marks), you probably won’t need a patch kit. Instead, you can plug the hole with a small amount of spackle. Once the spackle dries, you can sand the area and paint over it—just like you would in the steps outlined above.

It doesn’t matter which way you lay drywall, and you can choose to install it horizontally or vertically depending on the size of the wall and how tall the ceiling is. It’s easier to lay drywall sheets vertically if you have a taller ceiling, but laying sheets horizontally makes it easier to apply joint compound.

Although they have similar applications, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Their primary differences lie in their composition, consistency, and ideal use cases.

Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it thicker than joint compound. It dries quickly and is easy to sand, which makes it ideal for small wall repair projects like filling nail holes or patching minor damage.

Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum. It is primarily used for large-scale projects, such as taping and finishing the seams on newly installed drywall. It tends to shrink more than spackle and can be more difficult to spread.

While both products can be used to fill small depressions and cracks, spackle cannot replace joint compound for taping and mudding new drywall. Conversely, you can often use joint compound for small patching jobs typically done with spackle.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.
