Termites
We surely hope that you haven’t encountered an issue with termites, but it can happen to anyone. Termites are fierce, they come in groups, and love to stick around until they are properly given the boot.
Unfortunately termites like to cause significant damage to drywall if given an opportunity. Drywall is made up of thick paperboard in the center, which attracts termite feasting. If you notice signs of termite damage, then we recommend that you call a professional exterminator as soon as possible.
Once you have been given the clear that the termites have left the building, then give us a call. Prestige will gladly come to your home and assess the extent of the damage to your drywall.

Chinese Drywall
Depending on the age of your home, or the last time you had drywall repair or insulation, you may have an issue with Chinese drywall. In between 2004 and 2007 there was a surge and high demand for drywall in the United States. During this time there was a pretty big construction boom, requiring the use of a lot of drywall.
When Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005 it caused a significant amount of damage to a lot of homes and businesses. Of course, this used up a lot of supply of the already limited amount of drywall available, so contractors started looking and buying elsewhere. This is how the Chinese drywall came about.
Drywall contractors were desperate for materials, and there seemed to be an endless, inexpensive, abundance available ready to be shipped in from China. At first, everybody was happy. Homeowners were able to get their homes repaired, companies that installed the drywall continued to have work, and the producers in China were suddenly doing very well with their additional sales.
How do you know if you have chinese drywall?
Well it didn’t take long (2009) before people started to realize there may be an issue with their drywall. Homeowners started reporting a volatile sulfur smell inside their homes. People were suffering asthma attacks, coughing, headaches, and other rotten egg type awful odors lingering.
After extensive research, studies, and testing, it was concluded that the common denominator in these homes were where the drywall came from. China. The way they constructed the drywall is much different then how other companies in the United States makes theirs, therefore, it didn’t respond well in these homes. China’s home structures and climate is much different, so there it’s no problem, but here it was causing lots of concerns.
It’s clearly been many years since this realization but if you feel like you may be having similar concerns or issues, then call us. We will come and find out and if necessary replace drywall where needed. Not many homes in Columbus encountered this drywall because it was shipped into Florida. Mostly southern states are to be of concern. We say it’s better to be safe than sorry!
Mold Remediation Columbus, Ohio
Mold in Columbus can grow abundant, and quickly. We tend to have a great environment to allow mold growth, and it can be hard to stay on top of areas that get out of hand. Often times, damp basements allow for mold to find it’s way in going unnoticed before it’s too late and already caused wall damage.
Mold Removal
We know that nobody wants to live in an unsafe home with mold growing in the same place we spend most of our time. It’s not only unattractive, but it can cause a lot of health problems if you are exposed for an extended period of time. We recommend you have mold removed at first site.
We know schedules can be hectic and remedying a mold growth isn’t something you want to wait on. At Prestige, we will work around your schedule and keep you and your family safe from the toxic harm. We’re experienced and professional in mold removal.
Prestige Insulation & Drywall will gladly repair drywall where mold has taken over, and discard the previous plasterboard.

Fire Resistant Drywall | Type X
Having an extra layer of protection inside your home is always a great idea. You never know when a fire can break out. It may just be a small stove fire, or in a worse case scenario, a full on home engulfing fire. In these type of situations you never know how bad it can get. Fires can be quickly contained or they can burn throughout the night.
If you worry about the occasional small indoor fire that can be extinguished moderately fast, then you may be interested in installing type X drywall. Plasterboard is already produced with a thermal resistance due to the presence of a mineral called gypsum. The difference with the type x is added glass fibers. Glass fibers help reinforce gypsum creating a longer withstanding fire resistant wall.
Unfortunately, fires can be quite destructive, so installing your home with type x will not ensure that you have walls still standing once the blaze has settled. However, it will allow for you and all your loved ones to potentially have more time to safely get out of a home under fire.
Please let us know if you would like to discuss type x installation when we give you our free estimate.
Wall Sound Insulation
Do you have a really cool band about to start up but need a place to practice a bit more? Maybe you have a home business that you’d like a little sound barrier from the remainder of your house. Perhaps you want to create your own home theater. Whatever the reason, we understand that sometimes having sound insulation on your walls are often times desired.
Let us know the area you want and we will get you covered. Wall insulation works best with double layered drywall, so if you already have a layer, then we would add an additional. Often times people think that in order to have sound insulation then they need to have the thickest drywall available. Actually, two layers work best and has been tested and proven so.
Give us a call and we will get your next home project started as soon as possible.
