"I am an energy auditor and general contractor. I specialize in building science, energy efficiency and performance-based contracting. I recently needed an insulator to finish a project when my regular insulator could not.... I was in a pinch on schedule. American Insulation contacted me and within minutes I had my problem solved. We agreed on price and within 48 hours my project was complete. During the installtion process I found the owner and his crew courteous and professional. Thank you American Insulation, you have earned my business."

"I highly commend this company. Unfortunately I could not have them do the job. He came out, on time, to give me estimate on insulation. He was very honest with me! To do this Job would have required me to have additional projectsâ replace aluminum siding, and holes would be in paneling which was wallpapered over. I am recently widowed and will probably be downsizing in few years. Rather than spending money and doing other projects, decided not to do it. Most companies would have said â oh yes, we can do thisâ and them made a mess! Itâ s nice to know there are still decent, honest companies around."

"I called to get a quote on the removal and installation for insulation in my attic. Erik Bachman was our Home Performance Specialist and was incredibly knowledgeable and honest with the quality of our existing insulation. As new home owners, the investment of installing new insulation can be overwhelming. Erik was very thorough in his inspection and was easy to talk to about what would make most sense in terms of an investment for our home. When the time is right, we will definitely give Insulwise a call for service. I am impressed with the high-level of customer service. I am relieved knowing that there is a local trust worthy company that I can call in the coming months to get the job done."

"The job was extremely difficult due to three different layers of insulation in my attic including blown in insulation. They suggested I go with the foam. I requested they not spend to much time cleaning up because I wanted to clean the entire garage."

"We did not end up hiring Exceptional Exteriors because we elected to go with another contractor that we have worked with before. I was very impressed with the folks from Exceptional Exteriors, they were punctual, very informative and responsive. I would ask them for an estimate again in the future."

Drywall Insulation FAQs, answered by experts

If your home was built before the 1940s and was not remodeled in the past 50 or so years, you probably have plaster walls. Aside from assuming, there are some practical ways to tell if you have plaster walls, including the following: If you knock on the wall and it feels solid, not hollow, if you can’t insert a thumbtack easily, if there are cracks that look like spiderwebs, or if your home has curved, arched, or swirled walls, doorways, or window openings.

If you have an unfinished basement or attic, you could examine the backs of any finished walls to check, too.

You may need to replace drywall because of smoke damage. If the drywall is covered in soot, you may be able to clean it, but it will require a lot of time and effort. You could spend hours cleaning the drywall only to find there is more damage and it needs to be replaced anyway. It’s usually easier and safer to remove the smoke-damaged drywall and replace it.

Yes, small, superficial cracks are normal as homes settle. Older homes have a higher chance of showing signs of settling through hairline cracks from temperature changes, moisture changes, and soil shifting. However, larger cracks, or discolored cracks from water damage, may signify a bigger problem that requires reparations and preventative measures.

If you’re installing new drywall, you may need to skim coat the drywall first for a smooth finish and to allow the primer to adhere to the wall. It’s only necessary if there are imperfections in your drywall due to issues with the studs or improper drywall installation. If you’re refreshing existing walls, you may want to skim coat if there are imperfections across the wall. As an alternative, you can repair your drywall and sand it for a smooth finish before painting.

You can take a few steps to save money on drywall installation, even when hiring a professional to do the bulk of the work for you. These ideas include the following:

  • Buy the drywall and other materials yourself to avoid product markup and delivery fees

  • Ask about discounts if you use the same company to tape, spackle, and paint

  • Hire drywall professionals in the winter when demand is the lowest

  • DIY as many parts of the project as possible, like replacing insulation and painting
