"David and his team were very professional and the work they did was excellent---we could tell the difference the next day. The temperature on the 2nd floor is several degree lower than before due to the new insulation and feels much more comfortable. David has solid knowledge regarding insulation and he explains things clearly. Definitely would recommend David and Prudent Homes to my friends and neighbors."

"I've been trying to find an expert in insulation for months to come out and tell me out to properly insulate around a removed chimney and Comfenergy was the expert I needed. Even though the insulation part of the job was too small for Comfenergy (wasn't above their minimum quote value) they were happy to give me their expert advice and I appreciate the time spent as I now know what to ask the roofing contractor to do in order to insulate this correctly. Thanks!"

"We had a great experience with Discount Energy Services. They insulated our entire attic and crawl space, and from start to finish they were professional, responsive, and easy to work with. The turnaround time was impressively quick, the quality of the work was excellent, and we felt the value was very good for the scope of the project. The team was efficient, knowledgeable, and clearly took pride in doing the job well. We really appreciated how smoothly the whole process went and would gladly recommend Discount Energy Services to anyone looking for high-quality insulation work."

"Very easy to work with. Their repncame out and did a free home energy audit in a timely manner. They then go over over everything they find. He walked me through everything he found. The list he came up was priced out but was definitely a little more than I wanted to spend...but he worked with me to figure out what items to fix that would give me the most bang for my buck at the cost wanted to spend. We definitely notice an improvement in the house from the fixes. I would recommend these guys."

"Capital Insulation just finished a two-day project at my home, removing old, poor quality attic insulation and replaced it with 21 inches of blown fiber glass insulation. They sealed joints, insulated and sealed around sky lights, recessed lights, put new covers over recessed ceiling lights, etc. Jon, team lead, is awesome, a true professional, and task focused to deliver superior results. The crew worked together well with a positive work attitude which I admired. You can see that they enjoy their work and take pride in what they do. Since most of us home owners don't get up into our attics much, if at all, it is important to find a company you know will do the work you pay for. This is a high-quality company with integrity that will do outstanding work for you and you will no longer need to worry about what is going on in your attic. Karl, the company owner, was also in the attic doing work at my home and pointing out to me things he found and offered solutions for fixing problems"

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

There are several benefits to wet-sanding drywall, but the main perk is that it produces far less dust than dry-sanding. As a result, wet-sanding poses fewer health risks and makes less of a mess in your home. Plus, damp sponges are less abrasive than sandpaper, so there’s a smaller chance of scratching or damaging the drywall paper. Wet-sanding also creates a smoother finish than dry-sanding.

Plaster is a beautiful finish but is labor-intensive to install and remove. It’s vulnerable to cracking and more sensitive to moisture variance than drywall. Installing plaster on a new wall is an expensive process that can take days to weeks, depending on the scope. Removing a plaster wall can also be quite expensive and time-consuming.

A utility knife is sharp enough to score the drywall and it may work in a pinch for outlet box holes. However, one of the best tools for drywall when you need to make exact cuts for an outlet box quickly is a drywall saw. This handheld tool has a longer blade than a utility knife, so it penetrates the thickness of the drywall easily. The design of its handle and the teeth in its blade make it easier to control while cutting quicker than you can with a utility knife.

The easiest way to cut holes in drywall for electrical boxes is to use a spiral saw with a drywall router bit. Hang the drywall without cutting out a hole for the box, but make sure you measure and mark where the box is located on the wall. Once you screw in the drywall sheet, drill a small hole into the box void, insert the spiral saw bit, and move it around the edge of the box using the inside wall as a guide. You can also use an oscillating multi-tool with an electrical box cutout for fast, professional results.

Whether a drywall anchor can be reused depends on its material, type, and the method of removal. Plastic anchors, including expansion and self-drilling types, are generally designed for single use as they tend to break or deform upon removal. Metal anchors, such as toggle bolts, are more durable and may be reusable if they are not damaged during extraction. However, with toggle bolts, the toggle piece can fall into the wall cavity when the bolt is removed, making it difficult to retrieve. If an anchor is damaged during removal, for instance by having its head cut off, it cannot be reused regardless of the material.
