"The Matais team ripped out the old insulation, cleaned the space & installed new insulation as well as vapor barrier. Also installed additional blown in insulation in attic. Accomplished all in one day. Good price & hard workers. Very happy with our experience."
"Price was about average, can't complain - don't remember exactly how much or exact service date (disclaimer). Company screwed up the scheduling. Installer was busy with personal life and we had to work around their schedule. Inconvenient. Came out and sprayed insulation in the garage. They left the door open to the basement so the entire chemical smell inundated the basement. The spray was general even but there seemed to be small holes and spaces generally through out the insulation. When I inquired about the small spaces the response was they generally use the small spray cans you can get at Home Depot\Lowes but that they didn't have any. I said I would take care of it myself, I had enough inconvenience with the screw up in scheduling. Other than that went well - it's not that involved, just spray foam. They did clean up the mess relatively well, but not perfect."
"We had an issue where our subfloor was saturated with moisture and completely covered our crawlspace with mold. We thought we were going to have to rip out our kitchen and subfloor. Moisture Solutions responded quickly and offered short term and long term solutions to our situation. We didn't have to rip anything out, saving tons of money, and now our crawlspace looked better than the day we purchased our home."
The age of your home can clue you in to whether you have plaster or drywall ceilings. Homes built after the ‘70s are more likely to have drywall ceilings and walls, while older homes have plaster. You can also do the pushpin test: A pushpin will go into drywall, whereas it’s much harder to push one into a plaster wall. If you’re still unsure, ask a drywall professional to let you know which type of ceilings and walls you have.
Yes, drywall nail pops are a common occurrence in homes, both new and old, resulting from the settling and shifting of the structure over time. Though not present in every room or on every wall, encountering nail pops in different sections of a home is not unusual, particularly if the temperature, humidity, or foundation has experienced changes.
If you want to reduce sound transmission throughout your home, soundproofing drywall is a better choice than standard drywall. However, simply installing soundproofing drywall may not completely block out noise. You’ll get the best results from incorporating it into a larger soundproofing plan that includes proper insulation and framing studs.
Look for flaking paint or air bubbles that burst and then flake away. Paint will begin to flake after being exposed to minimal moisture or water, so it’s a good indicator of any water damage. If you notice your paint starting to flake, feel the plaster underneath to see if it is soft or damp.
Drywall repair is typically completed within a day, depending on damage extent.
