"Gale Samples recommends Casey Insulation Inc. Mid July summer of 2025, my house got so hot I knew I needed some Insulation. I started contacting insulation installers in my area. I live in the Ohio valley south of Steubenville, Ohio. I never got a call back, so I continued my search and found Casey Insulation listed in Pittsburgh Pa. I gave them a call, left a message, and two later received a call from Mr. Casey. He said they were very busy but he would be wiling to talk to me about my insulation problem. We discussed my house and he said would come and check it out. In a week or so he came to my place and we discussed what needed to be done. Later that night as promised, he sent me the estimate. The next day he called me and we discussed the price. Seemed reasonable to me. As busy as his company was he came to my house and took care of my problem very well. They cleaned up everything and were very Shawn and his crew did an excellent job. I know my house is very well insulated n"

"Quality experience from my initial inquiry, to estimate and Tech's explanation of each and every step that they would provide to insure the best job that could be done and for the installation. All three installation workers, that worked on my house, were very professional, very knowledgeable and each took pride in the work they were performing. This was was a full attic insulation, including removal of old and replacement of new, and basement sill plate sealing of a 100 year old home. They politely, and with enthusiasm of their craft, answered my questions about what they were doing, why and how, which just confirmed that I had made the right choice to go with Mincin."

"Their crew is very knowledgeable and helpful. They gave me tips on how to take care of little things to improve around the house in addition to the service they did (fill gaps and blown insulation). They never tried to push me to buy additional services or anything and were very honest as to what needed done at my place. Totally recommend!"

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can apply new plaster over an existing plaster surface, such as a wall or ceiling, provided the old plaster is in good condition. Before you begin, check the stability of the existing plaster. The surface must be clean, free of loose material, and have no peeling paint. It is also recommended to roughen the surface slightly to promote adhesion. For older plaster, applying a base coat like a PVA emulsion or a specific bonding agent or primer is crucial. This step makes the existing plaster less porous and ensures the new and old layers adhere properly for a smooth, long-lasting finish.

You can paint over plaster, but repair any damage to the plaster first, or the paint will crack and bubble. You should also prepare the surface of the plaster to accept paint, which gives your paint job the best chance of looking good and lasting a long time. Before applying the color you want, apply a coat or two of primer. Additionally, use latex paint, and choose a latex paint with a satin finish for areas with dampness, like bathrooms.

There are a few ways to figure out if your walls are plaster or drywall, but the pushpin method is probably the easiest option. To try it, choose a part of your wall where you can insert a pushpin or thumbtack without leaving an obvious mark. If it goes in easily, you have drywall. But if the wall is tough to penetrate, that’s plaster.

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.

There are a handful of reasons why your drywall anchors are breaking. Using the wrong type of anchor is the most common problem, so always make sure you’re using the best option for a particular project. That there are electrical wires or plumbing where you’ve placed an anchor or that your drywall is weak are two other possible causes.
