"We had Lake Atitlan Insulation remove our old insulation and replace it with R-38. I enjoyed working with Nanni from the initial meeting to the final step of installing the insulation. Very knowledgeable lady and truly exceptional customer service. A highly recommended insulation contractor."

"We had a wonderful attic insulation experience with Madrona Home Services! They had the best pricing, including the Puget Sound Energy discount and they managed all the paperwork. We were able to schedule two weeks after the quote, and their team worked fast and efficiently on installation day. They removed old saw dust insulation and laid down batting, as well as going above and beyond by creating an 8x8 storage platform. Our house feels noticably cozier with consistent temperatures. 10/10"

"The entire process from estimating (Kenny) to project management (Walter) to team members (four), was efficient, respectful of our property and extremely communicative. The team went multiple extra steps to make sure our crawl space free of entry points for critters while installing all new insulation"

"We literally been roasted in our house especially on the second floor with that late heatwave going on . Eric from Insulation Pro took care of our attic. Full insulation replacement. Some mold problems and vents to reconnect . I was skeptic I even tested with the thermostat furnace but it literally did the job. Couldn't be happier."

"They sprayed the ceilings of my cargo containers and it worked perfectly. They're warmer in the cold and cooler in the heat. They were prompt, professional and they cleaned up afterwards. It was expensive, but well worth the money compared to me building frame walls and installing batts of insulation and covering with plastic, etc. Their insulation dries hard and even after months, it hasn't been damaged. I'm really picky about good quality work and they checked every box."

He worked with me on scheduling and made sure to keep our project moving even when we had a setback with another repair. I highly recommend them. They will get the job done. Thank you Acorn Attics and Crawl Spaces!!"

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.

Both plaster and drywall are durable wall finishes, but they differ significantly in installation, cost, performance, and aesthetics.

Installation & Cost: Drywall installation is faster and more affordable, typically costing $1.50 to $3 per square foot. It uses premade sheets, making it a more accessible DIY project. Plastering is a labor-intensive craft that requires specialized skills, pushing costs to $2 to $10 per square foot. It involves applying a wet paste over a lath framework.

Durability & Performance: Plaster is generally more durable, longer-lasting, and provides superior soundproofing. It is also a better insulator, which can help reduce energy costs. Drywall is easier to remove for future renovations.

Aesthetics: Drywall provides a smooth, uniform surface ready for paint or texture. Plaster offers a high-end, naturally textured look that can hide imperfections and is often preferred for achieving a classic or historic aesthetic.

Which is better? The choice depends on your priorities. Drywall is ideal for those prioritizing a lower upfront cost, faster installation, and DIY potential. Plaster is the better option for a higher-end project where durability, soundproofing, and a unique, premium finish are more important than the initial cost.

This depends on how much plaster is applied and in how many layers, but a decent estimate is around 150 square feet. If you are applying only two coats on a small wall, there is a chance you may only need one or two gallons for the entire project. If you are plastering a large living room wall with high ceilings, using one of the more involved techniques–like Scagliola–that requires several coats, expect the project materials costs to add up quickly. 

Options include bricks, natural stone, and concrete blocks. Choose based on durability, aesthetics, and budget.

You should leave a gap between drywall sheets because they naturally expand and contract along with the building framing as temperature and humidity change. Most pro drywall installers leave a gap of about ⅛ inch between drywall sheets, allowing the sheets to expand, contract, and shift without cracking or becoming damaged. If you don’t leave enough gaps between slabs, the edges will press against each other when they expand, and the pressure can cause visible cracks.
