"Some initial prep information was a bit lacking in detail, which caused rescheduling of work, but went well after that. Insulated crawlspace that was severely lacking insulation from cheap & crappy house builder (HH Hunt). Foam insulation on sides/walls & certain posts/beams, 10 mil drymat on ground, sealed off vents. Workers friendly & professional. Bit pricey but noticeable improvement soon after finish...floors were not cold in certain areas as before."
Unsealed porous foundation walls. Efflorescence has grown along the outside walls.
Plastic is laid out to protect the freshly pained walls and floor.
Open vents in the foundation walls allow outside air and moisture to infiltrate the crawl space, increasing the relative humidity and allowing mold spores to thrive inside.
Spray foam application in progress on warehouse walls.
The dirt floor is exposed, which will allow the moisture from the earth to rise uncontested into the crawl space, adding to the increase in relative humidity.

"I requested a qoute Saturday morning and got a call within 5 minutes. They came by 30min later and gave me a qoute and offered to fix another patch of drywall I hadn't asked them too. They said they would be here about 9am Sunday. They came and went right to work. 3 hours later and my bathroom looks amazing. If I could give them a star rating 5/5 I have attached the before and after."

"I had the pleasure of working with QualityFirst to get my house rental-ready. From start to finish, the team demonstrated professionalism, expertise and attention to detail and quality. With stellar and consistent communication throughout, Ryan and the team were more than willing to answer any questions I had, as well as collaborate with me throughout the entire process. The renovations were prompt, within budget and met to the highest standard of quality. I would recommend QualityFirst to anyone looking for property renovations. I will be looking forward to working with them again!"

"Excellent workmanship friendly and professional work crew. Even helped to clean up recent house project waste in yard near the house. Very helpful sales and follow up on last day of project. Our siding project was done during a trying time for my family and Jim Hickling (owner) was exceptionally helpful and considerate. The couple of questions I had at the end were addressed and I'm very happy with Grace Exteriors . I'll definitely call them back for my remodeling projects in th future. The work crew did an exceptional job cleaning up when finished."

"100% satisfied!! I called to make an appointment to replace ducting insulation and spoke with a wonderful receptionist who made me an appointment with Alex the same day. He gave me three estimates to choose the level of work we wanted. We decided to replace all existing trunks, lines and insulation with the addition of a crawl space encapsulation. When I signed the contract he promised the encapsulation would start the next morning, but the ducting would have to be performed after the holiday. To our joy, the crew showed up three days in a row (including Saturday) and knocked out all of the work! The home is cooler and the air quality has vastly improved since everything is clean and new. I highly recommend this company! We are so pleased! Thank you!!!!"

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

Textured walls can increase the value of your home if the style is modern and seen as a desirable feature and not something a prospective buyer would need to remedy. A good example of this is popcorn texture versus Venetian plaster. The plaster wall would add value to your home, whereas the popcorn texture may be something a new buyer would want to remove.

You can plaster over regular drywall, but it's essential to prepare the surface properly. Before plastering, the drywall should be clean, free of dust, and any loose or peeling paint should be removed. Applying a primer specifically designed for plastering can improve adhesion. Some professionals recommend applying a base coat of plaster or joint compound to create a better surface for the plaster to adhere to. Proper preparation ensures a smooth and durable plaster finish over regular drywall.

The cost to skim coat drywall is $1.15 to $1.35 per square foot. Most of the cost is labor, for the necessary skills to apply the skim coat with precision using high-quality tools. This is a job better left to the professionals for the best outcomes.

Plaster itself has a higher R-value than drywall. However, there are other considerations surrounding plaster and insulation. As a general rule, it's easier to obtain consistency in insulating value and quality when working with drywall rather than plaster. Plaster walls often don't contain any insulation behind the wall covering by design, and careful evaluation is necessary when choosing to add it.

Certain drywall textures, like sand and sometimes popcorn, can be smoothed by applying skim coats, sanding the walls, or chipping away the texture. However, it’s worth considering removing the texture and starting with a blank canvas. Smoothing textured walls requires a lot of sandpaper and elbow grease and can take longer than just outright removing the texture.
