"Great company, quick and very good communication. This is our 3rd project with them. They insulated our attic, shop and subfloor underneath the house. Very pleased with the way the foam looks in the shop and how it keeps it cool. Use them, you wonâ t be disappointed."
"This September I had a home energy audit through Fulkrum Insulation. They said we needed some Ductwork changes and more insulation in the attic. Since having those solutions installed, my electric bill has been dramatically lower than ever before."

"Omar and team did great work. Old insulation was removed and ceiling penetrations sealed on the first day with the new insulation installed on the second day. Omar was onsite the entire time and actually did the new insulation install. I was pleased with the quality of work and recommend."

"RPM did drywall work on my garage ceiling and textured and painted to match the existing ceiling. I can't tell the difference between the old and new - they did a great job."

"My experience with Energy Attic USA went really well. They were very good price wise. They did a good job and they’re the only company that I find that would do a reading and barrier that actually use a metallic foil reading barrier that they would put in instead of spray. That’s what I wanted. It’s supposed to be much better. It’s all under insulation."
"Fort Worth house was FANTASTIC! Our house was an extremely tough job on an excessively scorching hot day. They did a beautiful job. I did have to have them come back and blow insulation where the crawl space to the other half of the house is located. It was understandable to have assumed we wanted it clear of insulation. Since we rarely go up in the attic, it was okay to fill the crawl space with "the pink stuff." They came the next day or so after I called. No hassles, no complaining, no trying to charge me extra for having to come back. They were wonderful! I've recommended them to some neighbors and friends."
Regular dusting, occasional repainting, and avoiding harsh scrubbing preserve the finish.
Yes, you can hammer a nail into a wall stud. But before you do, it’s important to confirm that you’re actually nailing into a stud—and not wiring, pipes, or ductwork. To check, find a few more studs in the wall, then measure to make sure they’re either 16 or 24 inches apart.
Although they have similar applications, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Their primary differences lie in their composition, consistency, and ideal use cases.
Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it thicker than joint compound. It dries quickly and is easy to sand, which makes it ideal for small wall repair projects like filling nail holes or patching minor damage.
Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum. It is primarily used for large-scale projects, such as taping and finishing the seams on newly installed drywall. It tends to shrink more than spackle and can be more difficult to spread.
While both products can be used to fill small depressions and cracks, spackle cannot replace joint compound for taping and mudding new drywall. Conversely, you can often use joint compound for small patching jobs typically done with spackle.
While not always necessary, you can glue a drywall ceiling in addition to using screws or nails. Drywall is typically secured to ceiling joists with fasteners, which is often sufficient. However, adding construction adhesive can offer benefits like preventing sagging, bridging gaps, and reducing air leaks for better energy efficiency. It may also be used for specific acoustic or insulation needs. On the other hand, many professionals advise against it because properly placed screws make the drywall structural, glue doesn't add strength, and it makes future repairs or replacements significantly more difficult. Ultimately, it's best to follow local building codes and project-specific requirements to decide if adhesive is right for your ceiling.
Plaster is denser, harder, and more porous than drywall, so it absorbs moisture differently. This means you’ll often need more prep work, such as thorough sanding, patching, and priming with a high-quality bonding primer. Additionally, you may need more coats of paint to achieve even coverage. While the process takes more time, it helps ensure a durable and professional-looking result.
