DRYWALL AND INSULATION

Drywall and Insulation

Never skimp on a drywall project – you’re going to be looking at the finished product for as long as you live in the house – the last thing you want is a rough finish or worse still – cracks.

If you need a contractor to fix existing cracks or holes in your walls from door handles etc make sure the immediate area is broken away and taped before plastering.

Consider mouldings such as crown dentals and baseboards or ceiling roses to add value and beauty to your rooms.

When posting your project mention what kind of finish you want – maybe you want it painted or wallpapered and how long before the new work can be decorated.

When it comes to moldings either measure the rooms or ask for a cost per foot and again make sure to include links to what you’ve seen. This will give your contractor enough details to give you an out-the-door bid.

Specify also if you want prefinished PVC or plaster moldings that you can paint straight after installation.

Insulation

Insulation is vital in a home whether you’re trying to trap heat in your home or keep the burning heat out.

Ask your contractor about R Values and what are the legal requirements in your city.

Insulation comes in many forms – rolls of fibreglass, it can be poured, blown-in, sprayed or laid like blankets.

Check out this article from department of energy and decide which insulation you think you want.

When posting your project include measurements of the areas you want to have insulated. Mention if it’s a single or double garage and include the address so the contractor can find your house on google maps and measure your attic for a more detailed bid.

If you’re not sure which insulation you want just ask your contractor for their recommendation and compare it against the other contractors bidding to earn your business.

Hiring anyone to carry work in your home can be daunting. Letting strangers into your home is even more scary. While many homeowners may go into detail about pricing and materials and quality of work – they rarely ask their contractor for their license details and never ask about their possible criminal background or if their staff are felons.
