"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."
"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."
"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 !"
"Awesome experience. Purchased home with open crawl space that was deteriorated with hanging insulation, and breeding ground for rodents and waste. Researched crawl space options and interviewed several companies to compare. Greg was honest, informative and provided an option that encapsulated the raised crawl space, complete with dehumidifier and thick vapor barrier. He promised to come by annually to check and make any necessary adjustments and stood by his word - we had the project completed in 2015 and he came back in 2016 adding some sealer to small gaps that occured and will be scheduled him again to return soon for 2017 service. VERY happy we completed - the house smells much better (they disinfected underneath and spent time ensuring joists were clean), air quality and comfort level is greater and greater peace of mind with rodent exclusion. Would HIGHLY recommend Greg and his crew"
"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"
Plaster provides a durable, soundproof, and moisture-resistant finish compared to drywall.
The cost to texture drywall depends on whether you want to do the work yourself or hire a professional. The cost of the drywall mud is far lower than labor costs for applying it. The labor cost to spray drywall compound onto a wall is between $0.80 and $1.50 per square foot, while you’ll pay between $1.50 and $2 per square foot for the labor to apply the texture by hand.
You should always hang drywall from the top down. Starting at the top makes it easier to create a straight, tight line between the ceiling and the wall. Any gaps that occur will be at the bottom, where they are easier to manage. You can either cut the bottom piece of drywall to fit the remaining space or cover the gap with baseboard trim. Additionally, starting at the top is physically easier, as you won't have to fit the top sheet into a tight space between the lower sheet and the ceiling, or try to balance the upper sheets on the lower ones while securing them.
A jigsaw is commonly used to cut holes in drywall. It offers versatility and precision, making it suitable for creating circular or irregular openings. When equipped with the right blade, a jigsaw can swiftly and cleanly cut through drywall, making it a good choice for DIY projects.
Certain drywall textures, like sand and sometimes popcorn, can be smoothed by applying skim coats, sanding the walls, or chipping away the texture. However, it’s worth considering removing the texture and starting with a blank canvas. Smoothing textured walls requires a lot of sandpaper and elbow grease and can take longer than just outright removing the texture.
