"Reed’s insulation is awesome they showed up on time, they did the work in less than 4 hours , cleaned up. My house is better than ever well insulated. Would highly recommend this company."
"Very well. Workers arrived promptly and worked steadily. They inspected for mold in my basement, removed duct cover where mold was found, built a new cover, applied mold preventive to the whole basement, and did an awesome clean-up, including vacuuming the whole basement. I was pleased that the job was done well and finished in a day. One worker returned two days later to sand the drywall, which had needed time to dry completely. I appreciate how they explained everything they were doing."

"Wanted to increase attic insulation to R49 & have ceiling can lights covered so they would not touch insulation. (Home Inspector told us can light covers were needed.) Logan assessed existing insulation and said we needed to add only R13 to get to R49. (A competitor wanted to add R19.) Logan also suggested that the can lights were rated such that they did not need can light covers. My electrician checked the can lights and confirmed that Logan was correct. I very much appreciate getting an accurate assessment from Logan. The Mullins crew arrived on time and blew pink fiberglass insulation into my attic, increasing the depth and evening out the coverage. The attic now looks very snug, as though it is covered in pink snow. The job cost about $600 to improve attic insulation for a 2500 sq. ft. house."

"Sky Home does excellent work! Most recently, we hired Sky Home to replace our front door, frame, and storm door, roof soffits,and replace and wrap the fascia board on the exterior of our townhome in Centreville, VA. Ben went the extra mile wherever he could to ensure that the work was top notch, effective for purpose and pleasing to the eye, including even helping our neighbor out a bit, which showed tremendous character. The house looks incredible. We started working with Ben and Sky Home last year. As new homeowners, the ownership part quickly became a harsh reality after we'd sprung a serious roof leak, which resulted in a terrible encounter with a bad roofer who did more damage than any good to our roof. Long story short, the bad contractor wouldn't fix it. We knew we were in need of a new roof anyways and in our search, we discovered Sky Home. We were so grateful to have found them. Ben and Sky Home were AWESOME from his estimate to the end product. They worked as early or as late as required to get the job done right, on time and to our specifications. He knocked it out of the park and if he says he's going to do something, he does it. Ben and team are worth every single dollar and they go above and beyond. For example, we also had him re-insulate our attic and for a little bit more cash, he managed to build for us some adequate storage space around the newly blown insulation using spare wood from the roof replacement, which was a huge help to us. Dude is killer. We couldn't recommend him any higher!!"
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.
You can put drywall mud over paint to even out the surface or entirely resurface it. Sand the surface with 280-grit sandpaper, vacuum the debris and dust with a shop vac, and clean it with a slightly damp cloth. Allow the surface to dry. Apply drywall primer, especially if you’re skim-coating an entire wall. Apply the right type of drywall mud over the surface and smooth it with a trowel. Allow the layer to cure fully, then sand it before applying another layer or painting it.
Your walls are likely cracking due to fluctuations in the temperature outside. Drywall tends to expand and contract when temperatures and humidity levels change, and this repeated movement can lead to cracks in your walls, particularly around door frames. If you have multiple diagonal cracks, you may want to have your foundation inspected, as cracks can also be a sign of a bigger issue.
Yes, it matters which side of drywall you use. One side is smooth, and the other is rough. The smooth side should be facing outward, toward the room, while the rough side should be hidden and facing the studs and framing of the house. The smooth side will be easier to apply tape, joint compound, and, later, paint to.
Vinegar and bleach are effective options for removing mold from drywall. Vinegar is a better choice if you have a smaller mold issue while bleach is best if you have a larger mold problem. If the area you're cleaning has limited ventilation, using vinegar would be a better option. In that case, you could mix vinegar with baking soda to remove more stubborn mold growth.
