"I contacted six companies for estimates to remove attic insulation, air seal and sanitize the attic, and blow in new insulation to R49 specs. Air-Tight's estimate was in the middle of the pack. Justin Wolfe, owner and CEO of Air-Tight LLC, gave me an estimate over the phone, answered every one of my follow up questions, and scheduled my work within the week. He stopped by at the beginning and end of the job. The crew did exactly what he said theyâ d do and were very mindful of my property. My neighbors commented on how nice they left the area. He even sealed an area under my steps and at the back of my home where Iâ d seen chipmunks enter and had an opportunity to sell more work when I asked him to check the attic above my garage but said I didnâ t need it and stayed with his original estimate. I recommend Air-Tight LLC without hesitation and am thankful I chose them."

"The crew at Bullseye did a great job adding additional insulation to my attic space. They got my home back up to the proper Rvalue, they also added some vents to help with air flow. Very professional and clean up was great. Can't wait to see the savings on my heating and cooling bills!"

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

Some painters will repair minor drywall damage. For repair work of any kind, it’s a good idea to hire the professional required for the job. Many painters will have the materials on hand and can add them to the total cost. While you may save some money, there is a chance the work will be subpar compared to a professional who specializes in drywall.

Plaster itself has a higher R-value than drywall. However, there are other considerations surrounding plaster and insulation. As a general rule, it's easier to obtain consistency in insulating value and quality when working with drywall rather than plaster. Plaster walls often don't contain any insulation behind the wall covering by design, and careful evaluation is necessary when choosing to add it.

Drying alone can take 1 to 4 hours to dry to the touch per plaster layer, but some types of plaster take several hours longer to dry. However, this doesn’t mean the job is done because plaster doesn’t fully harden until it cures, which can take a few days to a couple of weeks. It may take even longer if you’re building a new, pretty thick plaster wall. Allow the plaster to cure before painting it.

The best tool for skim coating drywall is a skim coating blade, which can smooth out joint compound in wide stretches. While you could use a smaller drywall knife for skim coating, the smaller size means it’ll take longer to smooth out each section. Instead, consider investing in a skim coating blade for the quickest application.

While it’s most common to sand plaster dry, it is possible to wet-sand plaster, too. Doing so can reduce the amount of plaster dust released into the air and make it easier to work in smaller, more delicate areas (such as around wall trim). However, some people find that wet sanding leads to more imperfections, which is why larger walls are more often dry sanded to ensure an even finish.
