"Outstanding representation from Exele and Outstanding service. Work quality was beyond approach. Removed insulation, cleaned, installed new insulation due to a recent mice problem in our attic."
"This is a 1 man show, with a few contractors apparently but I only saw Ramy (?). We had an upstairs with hot rooms and my AC guy said we needed insulation, so I called this guy based on the reviews. He took a look and basically said the cheapest way to go was roof vents so we wouldn't have to demolish the ceilings (no attic, so the drywall would basically get all chopped up). I was a bit skeptical since this guy mentions Jesus every chance he can, but said why not as $800 seemed fair enough for 5 vents based on labor, since he did have to chop holes in my roof and seal up the vents later. He did all of it in around 3 hours the same week (plus maybe an hour later to put on more roof tar), always called ahead, and was on time. He didn't have a temperature probe to measure the work, but since he finished, the rooms are a lot cooler and my wife is happy. I found my temperature gun and it's definitely cooler. So given the AC doesn't work as hard and our upstairs stays cool, I'd say he knows what he's doing. I just ignored his constant references to Jesus and blessings and such as I don't hire contractors to spread their beliefs. The guy sounds like a used car salesman at times, but he does seem to know what he's doing, and he does follow up afterwards. So as far as contractors go that's pretty rare."

"They did a great job. They arrived when they said they would. Completely insulated everything including caulking the windows. Clean up was complete and they took all of the trash away. I highly recommend them."
"TakeAir Houston came to our home to clean our AC vents. After inspection they found we had a mold infestation in all out AC vents and AC unit. Avi gave us a number of photo's to review and told us what it would take to kill the mold and what would be needed to clean the full system once the mold was eliminated. Avi also showed us photo's and videos of our insulation which was contaminated and also missing in quite a few areas of our loft. He then told us what was need to clean out the old insulation, clean the loft and blow 13" of R38 insulation back in. When the guys turned up to do the work they were very respectable of our home and it's contents. They covered everything up and got on with their work. Once everything was completed they showed us the before and after photos and also gave us a video of the loft area showing us the new insulation. All in all they did a wonderful job, quickly, quietly and without any issues whatsoever. They whole team were great and a pleasure to have in our home. I would definitely recommend TakeAir Houston for any mold, cleaning or insulation work you may have at your home"

Yes, taping inside corners is a critical step in the drywall installation process. Properly taping inside corners is essential for achieving a professional look, and an installation that resists cracking and maintains its integrity over time. Taping the corners involves the application of a joint compound along the seam where two drywall pieces meet. This process provides reinforcement, conceals the seam, and prevents future gaps or cracks from developing.
While it’s most common to sand plaster dry, it is possible to wet-sand plaster, too. Doing so can reduce the amount of plaster dust released into the air and make it easier to work in smaller, more delicate areas (such as around wall trim). However, some people find that wet sanding leads to more imperfections, which is why larger walls are more often dry sanded to ensure an even finish.
How you hang the drywall can affect the finishing process. It's often easier to finish horizontal drywall panels, as the seams run across the wall rather than up and down. Standard drywall panels are 48 inches wide, so the seam is easy to reach without bending down or stretching your arms.
Venetian plaster is a highly durable wall finish that becomes a rock-like substance once dried, making it last longer than most other wall finishes. Its lifespan can range from decades to centuries, potentially lasting a lifetime. Key factors influencing its longevity include the quality of the initial application, whether it's properly sealed against moisture, and how the wall is maintained and treated (e.g., how often it is touched or bumped). Due to its mineral content, it can also develop a patina over time.
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.
