"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."

"Reeds reinsulated our attic of 70 years. The former insulation had settled well below the rafters. The work crew vacuumed out the old, sealed around all openings to lights, fans, etc and then blew brand new fiberglass insulation to knee depth. We now have lofty, R-40 rated protection in a 2600 sq' house that heats evenly through out. Reeds will return to encapsulate our crawl space in one month!"

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

Many homeowners choose to install tongue and groove over drywall. The great thing about this type of ceiling is that it hides imperfections. If your drywall is a little bit wonky or has some minor damage, the tongue and groove planks should cover it and give it an even appearance. Installation is simplest if you install battens over the existing framing before installing your tongue and groove planks.

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.

Options include bricks, natural stone, and concrete blocks. Choose based on durability, aesthetics, and budget.

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.

You should wait at least 24 hours for drywall mud to dry before sanding or applying another coat. However, the exact drying time depends on several factors, including the thickness of the application, room temperature, humidity, and the type of compound used. Thicker layers, or projects in high humidity, may require 48 hours or more. Lightweight compounds tend to dry faster than heavier, all-purpose ones. You'll know the mud is ready when it feels completely dry and firm to the touch and has changed to a consistent light color. Sanding too early can cause smudging or gouges, so patience is essential for a smooth finish.
