        "text": "Yes, adding insulation before hanging garage drywall is the most cost-effective time to do it. Installing fiberglass batts or mineral wool between the wall studs and ceiling joists moderates extreme temperature swings, lowers utility costs for adjacent rooms, and dampens outside sound. Once drywall is hung, taped, and finished, insulating requires cutting access holes or blowing in insulation at higher labor expense. Before drywalling, confirm that all rough electrical wiring, outlets, and wall framing adjustments are completed while the open wall cavities remain accessible.",
