"Prodent Homes did an excellent job with our attic remediation. They removed the old insulation, sanitized and re-insulated the entire attic. The owner David was easy to communicate. The crew lead Jose was very experienced and communicated well. The job was done professionally. We are happy with the results and will use them again if we have another insulation job."

"The crew that originally came out were very efficient and friendly. They finished almost everything in the time that was stated. The only thing with them that I was concerned with was that they keep asking me what they were supposed to be doing. They knew that they were supposed to doing insulation but didn't have the details. And when i told them that I would have to go back to my paperwork they said that they would call the project manager. On the 3rd day they needed to do one last thing to an outer wall but couldn't do it because it was too cold and they were concerned that if they tried to remove the siding it would crack. They left on a Wednesday telling me that someone would contact me to come back on Saturday to finish the job. Fast forward to Friday, I get a few missed calls and then text messages saying that they had a crew in the area that wanted to come by in 30 mins. I wasn't home but finished up what I was doing to meet them at my house. When they get there they don't even know what the job is that they are supposed to be doing and don't have a ladder tall enough to reach the area. So they decided that they could do the job from the inside and said that they would need to drill a couple holes in my closets to fill the wall with insulation. They were very admit that that the holes would be repaired and the drywall fixed and painted and that someone in the company would call me and a crew would come out to do the drywall repair. So they do their part and leave. After they leave I realize that they put 6 holes in my wall. Not what i was expected but they did a decent job on plugging the hole back up with the piece of drywall that they removed. I waited for someone to call me about fixing the drywall but they didn't call. So after a week of waiting I called the company to ask about it and the mold remediation issue I was having (more on that in a sec). They seemed unaware on the drywall needing to be fixed and said they would send someone out to look at both things. A few days later someone comes out. They were unaware of the drywall repair but were there to look at the mold issue. Now about the mold issue. I will get back to the drywall in a min. So I paid for them to spray something on a strip of mold that we had in our basement and was told that after it has been sprayed that it would like nothing was ever there. Well after them spraying it twice it still looked awful. The wood looked but as black as before they came. So when these guys came to look at it they said that there was definitely no mold there. the problem was with my wood. So much for it looking like nothing was there. Now i have to hire someone else to sandblast it or something. So after these guys looked at the basement they said that they would look at the drywall. They look at it and are like "oh, i don't think we have the materials on our truck to fix this but I will take a look". They did have the materials and would tape it and mud it but weren't really experienced in drywall repairs but they knew enough to do the job. I should have stopped them right there but I thought it would be okay. Well once the mud dried I could tell what an awful job they had done. I will have to either try to fix it myself or hire someone to do it. And I probably should have called them back again but I am really tired of them sending me people that don't know what the job is before they get to my house and are not prepared. Only getting a C because the first crew was decent."

"Founders Insulation has been the best company I've worked with for this type of project. Brian and his team were professional, efficient, and reasonably priced—especially compared to other quotes I received. I could already notice a difference in my house after the installation was complete. I strongly recommend them to anyone looking to insulate their home or business. You will not be disaapointed. Brian is very kind and easy to work with. I will use their painting and drywall services in the future for my home. Thank you so much for the great work."

"After my call to Discount Energy Services, I knew who was coming and when to evaluate my attic insulation. The estimate was prepared on-site with pricing. The workers arrived and knew exactly what they were to accomplish, which they confirmed with me. They prepared the entire path with clean drop cloths and created a plastic drape around my attic stairs. The foreman was glad to explain any aspect of the procedure. My attic was upgraded to R-49 and the difference is notable."

"I am very pleased with how my attic insulation project turned out. when the company came to my house to give an estimate they evaluated my current insulation, told me what I needed to bring my home up to the current standards for attic insulation. (r49) more importantley they told me what I didn't need. I highly recommend this company for your insulation project."

"We are very pleased and satisfied with St. Joseph's roofing. They did a thorough job of assessing the condition of the existing roof, including climbing into our attic to actually see the condition of the plywood under the roof and how well the roof ventilation process was working. That allowed them to make a very good estimate to replace our roof. They also offered a long term guarantee when we used the proper high quality products. They recognized that the original roof had leaked at one time, so they recommended we contract with a company that could assess whether we had any mold or mildew issues and whether we needed to replace any insulation. We did hire a company and St. Joseph's worked very closely with them during the actual roof replacement. St Joseph had to remove part of the roof so that the other company could ***** the insulation and mold situation. Fortunately for us, the leaks had been fixed many years ago and the ceiling drywall and insulation under the roof were totally dry and did not need to be replaced. St. Joseph's completed the job in two days, just as they planned. They cleaned up all debris at the end of the first day so that our driveway and walkways were completely clean. The workers were very professional while they were here and worked non stop from 8 am the 7 pm except for a half hour lunch break. We received complements from our neighbors on how professional the installation crew was. I definitely recommend St. Joseph's roofing company as a high quality, customer focused, professional organization."

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

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.

New plaster must be fully dry and cured before painting. The drying time for plaster ranges from 1 to 4 hours, but the curing process can take more than five days, depending on various factors, including humidity levels, temperature, the amount of plaster used, and airflow in the area. You should always apply primer before painting plaster.

Yes, you can speed up the time it takes for plaster to dry, but it's important to do so carefully to avoid issues like cracking or crumbling. Proper ventilation is key; open a window or use a fan to circulate air in the room. Heat can also accelerate drying, but be cautious, as too much heat can cause the plaster to dry too quickly and crack. Check the plaster's packaging for the recommended drying temperature and set the room's thermostat accordingly. While managing humidity is important, avoid using a dehumidifier, which can remove moisture too aggressively and result in crumbly plaster.

Costs range from $500 to $5,000, depending on damage size, labor, and finishing requirements.

Yes, even if you’re being careful, removing tile can damage your drywall to some degree. However, you can minimize the damage done to it by eliminating a majority of the grout and taking your time prying each tile off. Also, it's worth noting that you might have more drywall damages to deal with if your tile is set into the mortar.
