"Those people were great. I knew them by their names because I knew them. They were actually recommended to me by the company I hired to add insulation to my attic. They told me about these 2 guys that had the business. I told them that I re-caulked my house every 2 or 3 years and they mentioned these guys to me. I called them and they came out; it was a father and son. I went around with them and they showed me what I have been doing wrong. It was roughly half of their retail price I paid. It was a big deal purchase. They had a special on the window sills; the normal caulking around the windows. The people I bought the house from had a glazing company come in and replace some of the windows with the wrong thickness of dual pane glass. The aluminum frame was made for one-half inch think dual pane windows. It was ready made in the factory. They put in three-eighths so I had an eighth of an inch gap about 4 of my windows. The seal had been compromised and there was fog inside the windows. I had the previous owner fix all that but he did it with the wrong glasses. Rhino Energy Solutions showed me that problem. Then I had him go in with a life time silicone caulk which is different than the normal caulking they use. He did the best fix he could do; it was short of replacing the window for all of the ones that was installed wrong. Two of them are in the living room. My wife and I immediately noticed that the amount of cold air blowing in from the north windows was reduced by them doing that. I had no idea that I even had that leak around the window. It takes somebody who knows glasses to see that there was an error over there. They did this in the same week I went from a 9 to a 39 R rating in my attic. It wasn’t possible to figure out how much I saved on my electric bill because of the caulking. I could feel the difference in the house. I went around with the father and the son and watched them do everything they did. They were pretty careful. This craftsman was willing to teach me part of his trade. I have been caulking my home myself since I bought it. He showed me how important it was to dig out the old caulk. He told me putting new caulk over old caulk doesn’t really work; it may be aesthetic. Their responsiveness was excellent. They showed up when they said they would be here."

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

It doesn’t matter which way you lay drywall, and you can choose to install it horizontally or vertically depending on the size of the wall and how tall the ceiling is. It’s easier to lay drywall sheets vertically if you have a taller ceiling, but laying sheets horizontally makes it easier to apply joint compound.

There are six levels of drywall finish, from 0 to 5, that refer to the amount of work performed during the finishing process.

Level 0: Drywall is hung with no finishing work.

Level 1: Tape is placed over the seams between drywall sheets.

Level 2: A thin layer of mud is applied over the tape and screw holes. This level is common for utility rooms or walls that will be covered.

Level 3: A full coat of mud covers the screw holes and tape, but the surface is not sanded. This is often used in garages.

Level 4: This is the most common finish for visible interior walls. It involves applying two coats of mud over seams and screw holes, with sanding between each coat, creating a smooth surface ready for flat paint.

Level 5: This is a high-end finish for luxury homes. It includes full taping, mudding, and sanding, plus a final skim coat over the entire surface before painting.

Applying plaster to a wall will usually cost between $2 and $10 per square foot for both the material and labor. The cost will vary based on the quality of the plaster you’re using and whether or not prep work is required before the work begins. Wall prep can add up to about 10% to your total costs. Plastering exterior walls can be more expensive in many cases because they are taller and require scaffolding and safety equipment.

The two most common drywall thicknesses for ceilings are 1/2-inch and 5/8-inch. For most standard residential applications, 1/2-inch drywall is sufficient and widely used. It provides adequate support and is lighter and easier to handle during installation compared to thicker sheets. However, 5/8-inch drywall is often used for specific cases where additional benefits are needed. It is heavier but provides superior sound dampening and fire resistance. You should consider using 5/8-inch drywall for ceilings in commercial buildings, between a garage and a living space, or above a finished basement to meet building codes or for enhanced soundproofing.

Both plaster and drywall are durable wall finishes, but they differ significantly in installation, cost, performance, and aesthetics.

Installation & Cost: Drywall installation is faster and more affordable, typically costing $1.50 to $3 per square foot. It uses premade sheets, making it a more accessible DIY project. Plastering is a labor-intensive craft that requires specialized skills, pushing costs to $2 to $10 per square foot. It involves applying a wet paste over a lath framework.

Durability & Performance: Plaster is generally more durable, longer-lasting, and provides superior soundproofing. It is also a better insulator, which can help reduce energy costs. Drywall is easier to remove for future renovations.

Aesthetics: Drywall provides a smooth, uniform surface ready for paint or texture. Plaster offers a high-end, naturally textured look that can hide imperfections and is often preferred for achieving a classic or historic aesthetic.

Which is better? The choice depends on your priorities. Drywall is ideal for those prioritizing a lower upfront cost, faster installation, and DIY potential. Plaster is the better option for a higher-end project where durability, soundproofing, and a unique, premium finish are more important than the initial cost.
