"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

If you're comfortable hanging drywall yourself, you may be comfortable finishing it. But it's worth noting that finishing drywall adds several steps to the process and a lot of waiting time. Hiring a drywall installer may be the way to go if you'd rather spend your time doing other things or are nervous about leaving a rough surface.

When sanding drywall mud, you’re going to create a very fine dust that may contain silica. Silica dust contains crystalline silica, which can cause long-term illnesses for people who inhale it in significant quantities. Wear a mask while sanding drywall. Then dampen a drywall sponge to wipe the dust off the drywall, helping to reduce the amount of dust that may become airborne.

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.

Yes, you can install drywall over plaster, but there are important factors to consider. While it can create a smooth, flat surface, it is often not the best approach. Installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall's thickness, which can cause issues with existing window and door frames that may no longer fit. You might also need to adjust power outlets to keep them accessible. A better, though more expensive, option is to remove the old plaster and lath entirely before installing new drywall. Drywalling directly over plaster seals in the old material, and if any problems arise later, you will need to remove both layers down to the structural beams for repairs. Given the potential complications, this job is best handled by professionals.

Drywall is safe to cut as long as you follow proper procedures, such as wearing personal protective equipment and using the right tools to score and cut the drywall. When cutting new drywall, it can release dust with silica and other compounds that could pose health risks. Leave cutting drywall to the pros, or wear a high-quality respiratory mask, goggles, and other PPE when handling drywall.
