"Prompt, professional and personable. Rob messaged me within minutes of my quote request, gave me a date within the same week, and was flexible when I asked him to reschedule. Impressive, but far more so when he came by. It was a small job but he treated it like the most important job of all- he prepped the area making sure my floor and furniture would be protected, he worked quickly, and because I happened to be working in the same area, he engaged me in pleasant conversation while working. Rob also offered me advice on the project I was working on and gave me supplies I would need to patch up the wall afterward. I highly recommend Rob and his team at RJL Insulation."

"Once the weather cooperated and the team was able to do the work, it was done very quickly and it all looks great! Vista sent in different people with different specialties for each piece of the job. The only thing that didn't come out quite as well as we would have liked was the drywall repair on the ceiling -- if we look closely, we can see the seam, but it wouldn't be noticeable to others. The same person who did the ceiling drywall did the drywall where the sliding doors were and the wall turned out beautifully. Also, the door did not shut correctly after initial installation, but Vista sent someone out -- without hesitation -- to repair it within two weeks and it works perfectly now. The team cleaned everything up as they went, so we only had very few nails and scrap materials to pick up.



We've already recommended Vista to neighbors and friends. The owner takes pride in the work his team does and it was clear in his follow-up to the job.

"Roberto was the technician and he was very professional, polite, and personable. He inspected the rest of our system and told us things that needed to be changed or repaired. He showed me pictures of everything. Everything he told me about was accurate. He quoted me a price for R38 insulation , Some of our ducts were plastic and he recommended them to be changed. I agreed completely and didn't know they were plastic. I would have had them done the work but I had no price comparisons to make and besides I didn't have the money right then. So he just finished the vent cleaning and left his card. He did a great job on the vent cleaning and was happy with the work."

"Hired Pro Tech to spray foam insulate my 12x20 gym in my shed after I installed a mini split it was constantly running due to losing the cold air. Saving money now by running it much less in turn keeping my electric bill down. Stuck to his quoted price which was more than fair and completed the job in less than a day. Will be hiring them again for any future needs."

Drywall Insulation FAQs, answered by experts

You can put certain types of plaster over other types, but doing so isn't always the best idea. For example, putting a coat of gypsum over lime plaster is possible, but doing so will limit the lime plaster's breathability and potentially affect its performance.

Since cement plaster tends to leave a textured surface, no matter how much you smooth it, some people prefer to use gypsum plaster as a topcoat over cement plaster, creating a smoother surface.

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.

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.

Deciding whether to repair or replace drywall can be tricky, but your top considerations should be the extent of the damage and what caused the damage. For instance, if you need to repair a small hole caused by a doorknob that hit the wall, you can safely patch it without a second thought. However, if you have significant drywall damage caused by water damage, it’s best to thoroughly remove the drywall to inspect and repair the pipes behind it before replacing it.

Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.
