"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!!"
Textured walls are a great way to hide imperfections left over by drywall installation, but many homeowners feel like it’s an outdated look, despite there being so many types of drywall texture. And while the textured walls of today are a far cry from the popcorn ceilings and faux stucco of our grandmother’s homes, if you want a more modern look or you want to install wallpaper, it’s time to smooth out your walls.
Brick and stucco are a lot more different. You must use picture hanging clips designed for brick walls, or use a plaster rail system with adjustable hooks. Any other type of hanging hardware will cause damage to the bricks behind. You won’t be able to really use nails, either, because they’re not strong enough to go into the bricks.
The short answer is yes, a sagging plaster ceiling is dangerous. Sagging plaster on a wall is something you should fix immediately, but it isn’t a major concern. If the same type of sagging occurs on a ceiling, however, you could be in danger of your ceiling falling in large chunks. When plaster sags, it loses its strength and ability to hold itself up. The bonds that hold it together are strong, though, so if a sagging area falls, it will take large pieces down with it.
While a normal moisture level for drywall is between 5% and 12%, replacement is recommended if you get consistent readings above 17%. At this level, the drywall is likely too compromised by extensive moisture damage to be considered safe. You can replace either the entire sheet or just the affected section. If you are unsure after a visual inspection, it is best to have a contractor or water restoration provider use a professional moisture meter to get an accurate reading.
To properly clean and maintain your skip trowel drywall texture, dust the surface weekly with an electrostatic duster or vacuum with a soft brush attachment. Never scrub the surface. You can remove stains by gently applying a mild detergent solution with a paint roller, removing it with a damp roller, and drying with a dry roller. To cut down on cleaning frequency, avoid indoor smoking and limit the use of fireplaces.
