"Steve was very helpful and prompt in coming to give us an estimate and also in doing the work. Showed up at the time quoted and did a wonderful job. Cleaned up and vacuumed the area when he finished. I would highly recommend C & M Insulation"
"Hired to insulate the garage roof and 2nd floor attic. Blown wool insulation to really great levels and spread evenly. Team worked on a warm august morning and got things done quickly. Only thing i don't like is the make-shift attic stair tent using taped together silver insulation blanket. Insulation tends to fall out of the attic and on the floor each time i remove the tent to enter the attic."
"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."
"Value for the money invested was extremely high, would strongly encourage those needed spray foam insulation in their homes or businesses to contact Advanced Spray foam for a price. Great people to deal with !"
"These giys came out just as planned..done a great job on spraying my building although it was 90 plus degrees the 2 Days .. they were very professional and cooperative with all my needs!! Highly recommended"
It is more difficult to drywall a ceiling than it is to drywall a wall, but not so hard that DIYers can’t tackle it. One of the main issues with hanging drywall on your ceiling is getting it into place. Drywall isn’t light so, if you are hanging full drywall panels, you will need at least two (it’s better with more) people to hold the panel while you drill it into the ceiling as a single piece can weigh between 40 and 60 pounds and will need to be held in place for up to 10 minutes.
Textured walls can increase the value of your homeif the style is modern and seen as a desirable feature and not something a prospective buyer would need to remedy. A good example of this is popcorn texture versus Venetian plaster. The plaster wall would add value to your home, whereas the popcorn texture may be something a new buyer would want to remove.
While you can put new drywall over old drywall, it’s not always the best option. In some cases, drywalling over drywall can make it harder to find wires and pipes behind your walls and conceal more serious problems with your walls. It can also make the room smaller. On the plus side, putting drywall over drywall can improve soundproofing and insulation. Plus, it’s often less expensive than tearing down and adding new drywall.
A post-drywall inspection could uncover many problems that weren’t present during the pre-drywall inspection, including insufficient insulation, missing weather stripping, improperly installed plumbing and lighting fixtures, flooring damage, drywall damage, plumbing leaks, aesthetic issues, and more. Structural problems, which are often expensive to fix and are common reasons to walk away after a home inspection, are easier to see before the drywall goes up, but a post-drywall inspection may highlight minor issues with house settling and foundation problems.
Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.
