"I had been working with Jeff Wells for attic insulation for my mother's house. He was professional, nice and answered any questions we had. We had questions after the quote and he answered them in a timely manner. He setup the schedule for the attic insulation even after we had to reschedule a couple of times. Arnaldo and Juan came out to do the installation. They were prompt, nice and was respectful of property. They were hard working and did a great job. They cleaned up everything when they were done. I am very satisfied with Jeff, Arnaldo and Juan. I will definitely give Jeff a call again for my own house in the future."

"I have been a license bonded contractor for the last 35 years. We built some of your better custom homes and I have used several different insulation companies to include spray foam during this time. This company gave me more, better coverage, to include all cracks and seams, and did a through clean-up afterwards, what more could anyone ask for, they are good. I would highly recommend them to my family and friends, not just the quality but the estimate was several hundred dollars cheaper than the other 2 estimates that I had gotten for the same square footage of coverage. Save time and money and call them, by the way, I never heard of this company until I called Home Advisor. Jim"

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

If the holes in the plaster are small, you can fill them with layers of patching plaster until they’re filled. After it dries, you can sand the plaster and paint over it. If the hole is much larger, consider using bonding plaster first and then a layer of patching plaster, completing the process with sanding and a layer of paint.

Technically speaking, you can use drywall primer over plasters. However, oil-based primers work the most effectively on wall plasters. Meanwhile, water-based primers work just as well with drywalls. Nowadays, there are also universal primers suitable for drywall and plaster. Overall, you will be fine as long as you are using a trustworthy brand.

If you plan on heating your garage, you must install a vapor barrier when drywalling the garage. A vapor barrier protects your garage from frost and mold that can occur through condensation. If your garage is unheated, you don't need to install a vapor barrier. The only exception is if you regularly crank the heat in your car before getting in it. In this case, you may still want to install a vapor barrier, as your car can heat your garage.

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.
