General Questions
Insulation is a material used to reduce heat transfer between the inside and outside of a building. It is important because it improves energy efficiency, reduces heating and cooling costs, enhances comfort, and can provide soundproofing and fire resistance.
We offer closed cell and open cell spray foam, cellulose, rock wool, and fiberglass insulation.
The best type of insulation depends on various factors including your specific needs, the area being insulated, climate, and budget. Our experts can assess your situation and recommend the most suitable option.
The cost of insulation varies depending on the type of material, the size of the area to be insulated, and the complexity of the installation. We provide free estimates to give you an accurate idea of the cost for your project.
The duration of the insulation process depends on the size and complexity of the project. Most residential projects can be completed within a day, while larger commercial projects may take longer.
Installation Process
Our installation process typically involves assessing your property, recommending the best insulation type, preparing the area, and then installing the insulation using specialized equipment and techniques.
In most cases, you can stay in your home during installation. However, for large projects or spray foam insulation, it might be more comfortable to leave for a short period due to the equipment and materials used.
We take steps to minimize mess and clean up thoroughly after the installation. Some types of insulation, like spray foam, can be more contained and less messy compared to others.
Yes, we can install insulation in both new constructions and existing buildings. Retrofitting insulation into an existing building can improve energy efficiency and comfort.
Yes, we offer warranties on our insulation installations. The length and terms of the warranty depend on the type of insulation used and the specifics of the project.
Benefits and Performance
Proper insulation can reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 50%, depending on your current insulation levels and the type of insulation installed.

Yes, installing high-quality insulation can significantly improve a building’s energy efficiency rating, which can increase property value and reduce environmental impact.
Maintenance and Upkeep
A: Most insulation materials are designed to last for many years, often the lifetime of the building. However, factors like moisture, pests, and physical damage can affect its longevity.
Signs that your insulation may need to be replaced include uneven temperatures, high energy bills, drafts, and visible damage or mold. An energy audit can also help determine if your insulation is performing effectively.
Yes, additional insulation can often be added to existing insulation to improve its effectiveness. However, it’s important to assess the condition of the existing insulation first.
Insulation generally requires little to no maintenance. However, it’s a good idea to periodically inspect it for signs of damage, moisture, or pest infestation.
Safety and Health
