Customers say: Super punctual

"After we invested in a whole house energy audit by Rhett Major, the Energy Doctor, he referred us to Andy Haak and Insulwise because "they will do it right". Insulwise insulated our third floor (ceiling, knee walls and floors), and sealed and repaired the leaky duct work of our HVAC system. They also sealed the rim joists in the basement of our 100 year-old house. Andy and his team were responsive, they worked hard, they were good communicators, and they cared about getting details right. More importantly, when something went wrong (our drywall ceilings were not up to code and were water damaged, and cracked under the weight of the insulation), Andy was honest and worked hard to help us get the situation repaired and to have new insulation installed in a timely way once the ceilings were replaced. The longer we worked with Insulwise, the more they earned our respect. We highly recommend them!! We're looking forward to warm winters and cool summers and lower energy bills in our insulated house."

"Bob and his team were great. Bob gave honest advice on the best option to insulate my attic and crawl spaces. The main issue we had was our infants bedroom which had brick walls and 2 windows making it very drafty. While the insulation made a noticeable difference overall, our sons room was still a bit drafty which we expected due to the brick outer walls. Still worth every penny."

"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."

"Zach stopped by shortly after I called to measure and gave me an estimate quickly. I acquired several other estimates and Zachs price was competitive (about in the middle).  I informed Zach that I was interested in his services and the date I wanted to start. Zach and his crew (Him 2 other roofers and a laborer) actually got started a little early and it happened to be on one of the days it was close to 100 degrees. Even in that heat they worked promptly and professionally so I bought them a case of water and had it on ice for them to drink plus my daughter offered freeze pops occasionally and they greatly appreciated it. Once they removed the top half of the shingles and sheathing they laid tow boards for the Mold company to be able to remove all the old insulation and do their work. At night because my house was fully vulnerable to the elements of nature (rain) Zach covered my house with a brand new Tarp big enough to cover everything to ensure no water if it did rain would enter and do damage. Zach and his crew had to wait until all the mold remediation process was done and then removed the rest of the shingles and sheathing. Then they installed all new sheathing (3/4 OSB), shingles(Owens Corning Duration Dimensional Shingles) gutters, downspouts, drip edge, and new aluminum covered fascia boards and covered Gable trim with aluminum then at  the end installed new Ridge Vent (Owens Corning Vent Sure Ridge Vent). When the job was completed they cleaned up very nicely.
I was very impressed how Zach and his crew was able to work with the other contractors, work in extreme temperatures, and clean up very nicely. I would definitely recommend "Always Perfect Contracting" and actually will have Zach coming back to my house for another job very soon."

"They worked long days to make sure the roof was finished before weather changed for the worst. Very impressed with quality of finished job. We then asked them to quote on 2nd house that required rebuilding a large porch roof, cladding a rear addition with vinyl (to hide insul-brick), and removing box gutters & rotted supports from a rear porch to make the porch function & look better. This project on Chislett St was so successful and improved the usual appearance of the house that people walking by the property would comment how beautiful the "new" porch was in the front. It was amazing transformation! Both houses date back to the 1920's so there was a good deal of rotted wood that had to be removed and replaced. These jobs were not for amateurs to tackle!"

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

You can usually tell if you have plaster or drywall by touch (plaster is harder, colder, and smoother than drywall) or by tapping on it (drywall sounds hollow, plaster does not). If you still cannot tell, peek under an outlet cover and check the cut edges. The rough edges show the composition of the wall. You will see either drywall (two paper sheets sandwiching gypsum material) or only plaster material (no paper sheets).

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.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

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 put drywall mud over paint to even out the surface or entirely resurface it. Sand the surface with 280-grit sandpaper, vacuum the debris and dust with a shop vac, and clean it with a slightly damp cloth. Allow the surface to dry. Apply drywall primer, especially if you’re skim-coating an entire wall. Apply the right type of drywall mud over the surface and smooth it with a trowel. Allow the layer to cure fully, then sand it before applying another layer or painting it.
