"John the project manager was VERY helpful and knowledgeable in getting things lined up for my basement batt insulation project, the guys did an excellent job and it was complete in less that 2 days."
"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."

"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!!"
Technically speaking, you can use drywall primer over plasters. However, oil-based primers work the most effectively on wall plasters. Meanwhile, water-based primers work just as well with drywalls. Nowadays, there are also universal primers suitable for drywall and plaster. Overall, you will be fine as long as you are using a trustworthy brand.
It’s highly recommended to use studs for a TV mount. The last thing you want is to be watching your favorite show when the TV falls off the wall. Studs are much stronger than drywall and quite a bit stronger than drywall anchors but, if you can’t find the studs or there simply aren’t any where you need them, you can use drywall anchors. It’s extremely important to make sure the anchors are rated for the load of the TV. We recommend using anchors that are rated far beyond the weight of whatever you’re hanging. Our suggestion is metal drywall toggle anchors.
Knowing what causes drywall damage can help stop it before it starts. Here are some of the most common causes of drywall damage:
Water damage from roof leaks or leaky pipes.
Small holes caused by doorknobs, minor accidents, and rodent infestations.
Wall dents stemming from moving furniture and minor accidents.
Wall cracks that form from a settling foundation or seismic activity.
Nail pops from nails and screws in the walls.
Large holes that are caused by accidents with heavy objects, children and pets, or sporting equipment.
You can put certain types of plaster over other types, but doing so isn't always the best idea. For example, putting a coat of gypsum over lime plaster is possible, but doing so will limit the lime plaster's breathability and potentially affect its performance.
Since cement plaster tends to leave a textured surface, no matter how much you smooth it, some people prefer to use gypsum plaster as a topcoat over cement plaster, creating a smoother surface.
Water-damaged drywall should almost always be replaced. Not only does it look bad, it’s a breeding ground for toxic mold. Even if you think the area is dry and there’s no active leak, the only way to be sure is to cut out the damaged area and see for yourself.
