"Insulation Commandos is an outstanding company! Excellent communication with Matthew (phone, text and emails), detailed quotes with line item breakdown, photos throughout the process and video, fast service and completion of work. Insulation Commando's went beyond my expectations in my home repairs, I highly recommend them. From the first inspection, material removal, installation of new insulation, air sealing of crawl space, to the attachment of the floor joists.. I knew I made the right decision. They made my house, my home again! I look forward to hiring them to complete additional projects."

"Eddie fully explained the benefit of the planned level of insulation for our attic, uses quality Owen's Corning fiberglass blown in insulation and recommended adding an roof vent attic fan to remove heat/moisture in the summer and moisture in the winter. Currently, we have passive eve vents and roof ridge vent. Cooling inside of the roof with air flow should help extend the life of the shingles by removing stagnant hot air. We chose an electric roof vent fan rather than solar because of the # of cloudy days in our area and humidity. Everything was done quickly on scheduled time, all contacts were professional, kept our home as clean as possible and swept up loose insulation. Pricing was very competitive plus we qualified for TVA energy rebate."

"When I had originally contacted Bia Insulation I was pleasantly surprised at how quick and easy the process was to set up my appointment with them. Once everything logistically was taken care of, insulation install process came and went in a swift manner. I was highly impressed with not only how professional but personable Jeremy was. He was my go to guy from start to finish and that meant a lot to me. Having the one point of contact throughout the whole process was breathe of fresh air. As far as savings go, my wallet and my wife are VERY happy. We noticed savings on our bill within the first couple of months."

"Rep. checked entire system. He found several wires not connected properly and fixed this. He also made recommendations regarding the attachment of the panels to the rood that would provide more stability and leakproofing. The representative appeared to know what he was doing - much better than others, including the representative who was engaged by the roofer (who replaced our rood due to hail damage) to disconnect/connect the panels."

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

The person’s skill will affect how many drywall sheets they can hang in one day. Some people can hang 10 or more sheets in a day, while others may only hang six or seven sheets. It also depends on the framing complexity since custom cutting and fitting the drywall can prolong the process.

Whether you can reuse a drywall anchor depends on its type, material, and how it is removed. Plastic anchors, such as expansion or self-drilling types, are generally considered single-use because they are designed to expand and are likely to break or become deformed upon removal. Metal anchors, like toggle bolts, are more durable and can often be reused if they are not damaged during extraction. However, with toggle bolts, the toggle mechanism can fall inside the wall when the bolt is removed, making it difficult to retrieve. If an anchor is damaged or must be cut for removal, it cannot be reused regardless of its material.

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.

The easiest way to remove texture from walls is the soak-and-scrape method. You’ll need to spray a section of the wall with water and let the water soak in and soften the texture. Then, you need to scrape the texture off using a drywall taping knife. This method works best with unpainted walls since paint prevents water from saturating the textured joint compound.

While a normal moisture level for drywall is between 5% and 12%, replacement is recommended if you get consistent readings above 17%. At this level, the drywall is likely too compromised by extensive moisture damage to be considered safe. You can replace either the entire sheet or just the affected section. If you are unsure after a visual inspection, it is best to have a contractor or water restoration provider use a professional moisture meter to get an accurate reading.
