"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

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.

Furring strips, thin strips of wood or metal, are not always required for ceiling drywall installation. If the ceiling surface is even and in good condition, drywall can be directly attached to the ceiling joists using screws. However, furring strips become essential when dealing with irregular surfaces or when additional insulation or soundproofing is needed. They create a level substrate for attaching the drywall. Ultimately, the decision to use furring strips depends on the condition of the existing ceiling and the specific requirements of the project.

You should leave a gap between drywall sheets because they naturally expand and contract along with the building framing as temperature and humidity change. Most pro drywall installers leave a gap of about ⅛ inch between drywall sheets, allowing the sheets to expand, contract, and shift without cracking or becoming damaged. If you don’t leave enough gaps between slabs, the edges will press against each other when they expand, and the pressure can cause visible cracks.

A local drywall contractor can texture your drywall for you. Drywall contractors are a better choice than general handy people because the contractors have a lot of experience working with drywall mud. The process is somewhat of an art thanks to the complexity of working with the mud, so call in a drywall pro who knows what they’re doing.

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.
