"After meeting with Joe (Robert) for an initial assessment of what was needed to bring my attic insulation up to code. There was only 6” of insulation in the attic. We scheduled an appointment for the work to be done. RJL showed up to do the job as agreed and they did an excellent job. We already notice the difference on the second floor if my house. It no longer gets warm upstairs as it did before on warm days and its not cold on the cold nights. I highly recommend RJL for insulation needs."

"We found mold in the first floor of our 3 family home due to a pipe breaking/freezing. I was very concerned since there were 2 children living in the apartment and i know some molds are very dangerous. I have had very good luck with Angie's list companies and I liked the reviews that stated the man doing estimates was honest. I got a verbal ballpark of 1800-2500 when on site and i was told the quote would come within the hour. I asked them to move forward with a HEPA filter and close off the area later that day then. They dis not want to give me a quote and preferred to deal with the insurance directly. When I outright asked for it before any more work was done, it had been raised to $4500! Since i had already asked them to put the filter and i was very worried about the mold we moved forward, but i honestly feel they took advantage of our predicament. There was poor communication from the office and the people doing work and the quote had lots that were not done. Very disappointed!"

"We did not go with them because they were too expensive. They were very kind, very punctual and the gentleman was very thorough. Everything was good as far as the overall coming out and giving the estimate. The price for the evaluation was perfect for what I needed."

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

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.

This depends on how much plaster is applied and in how many layers, but a decent estimate is around 150 square feet. If you are applying only two coats on a small wall, there is a chance you may only need one or two gallons for the entire project. If you are plastering a large living room wall with high ceilings, using one of the more involved techniques–like Scagliola–that requires several coats, expect the project materials costs to add up quickly. 

Both plaster and drywall are durable wall finishes, but they differ significantly in installation, cost, performance, and aesthetics.

Installation & Cost: Drywall installation is faster and more affordable, typically costing $1.50 to $3 per square foot. It uses premade sheets, making it a more accessible DIY project. Plastering is a labor-intensive craft that requires specialized skills, pushing costs to $2 to $10 per square foot. It involves applying a wet paste over a lath framework.

Durability & Performance: Plaster is generally more durable, longer-lasting, and provides superior soundproofing. It is also a better insulator, which can help reduce energy costs. Drywall is easier to remove for future renovations.

Aesthetics: Drywall provides a smooth, uniform surface ready for paint or texture. Plaster offers a high-end, naturally textured look that can hide imperfections and is often preferred for achieving a classic or historic aesthetic.

Which is better? The choice depends on your priorities. Drywall is ideal for those prioritizing a lower upfront cost, faster installation, and DIY potential. Plaster is the better option for a higher-end project where durability, soundproofing, and a unique, premium finish are more important than the initial cost.

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.
