"Mr. Barnett spent a good part of an afternoon explaining the options available to me regarding applying foam insulation to my home. His detailed and courteous explanation was fundamental to me making an intelligent decision. He is a knowledgeable and totally honest professional. If you can, hire him for the job!"

"My experience with eco three was the easiest decision I had to make when getting estimates for attic insulation. David was the best and made the installation seamless. The difference in my humidity level in the house has significantly dropped making the house feel much cooler. I know over time the insulation will pay for itself and I highly recommend echothree.."

"Performed insulation work on our home. Vacuumed out the 25 year old blown in insulation on day one, then sprayed in foam for the whole roof to include the attached garage, and cleaned up afterwards. When there was confusion of the work they performed (my fault) Lee called me up to see if we were satisfied and was willing to do more to make me happy, but this was not necessary after he explained the work performed and I agreed that all was good. They came in on the week promised, delivered what was expected, and at a very competitive price. Also for veterans, they do give a veterans discount, so don't forget to ask."

"We have just moved into a three-story house for wheelchair accommodations for our daughter and my mother-in-law. We have been experiencing increasingly high temperatures and very high power bills since we moved in the last couple of months. I called. Jordan and explain to him our situation, and he was out the next week, adding insulation to both our atticâ s, and fixing all of our old insulation. He did an absolutely incredible job, was so professional, his coworkers were very polite, and he even offered some other ideas to help with our cooling issues. They cleaned up everything that they made a mess and I couldnâ t have asked for more professional company. If you need insulation work done, this is the company to call."

"Everything went extremely well and we are highly satisfied with the results!! On initial visit, they discussed with us various options, gave very helpful advice on any of our concerns, and and made a thorough inspection of the basement to plan detail work and address problem areas. They left the place clean and with a nice, thick layer of open-cell insulation. We are very impressed with their work! Would recommend anytime and hire again."

Insulation questions, answered by experts

A garage ceiling needs a vapor barrier if it’s a heated garage or if you’re installing insulation in the ceiling. Without a vapor barrier, you risk moisture issues and mold growth. If you have an unheated garage and don’t plan on installing insulation that could get wet and harbor mold, the ceiling doesn't need a vapor barrier.

It is normal for the attic to be hotter than the rest of the house in the summer, but only by about 10 or 20 degrees. Attics that aren’t properly insulated or ventilated can reach temperatures of 130 degrees or more which can cause damage to the home’s structure, including the roof, wood framing, and HVAC system.

Vapor barriers in attics are a bit outdated and most areas no longer recommend them for attic spaces. For vented attics, the best method is usually to install drywall and cover it with latex paint before attaching insulation fiberglass, cellulose, or foam insulation. When renovating an attic to use as a living space, a contractor can guide you on the best way to cover insulation.

Mineral wool has an excellent life expectancy of up to 50 years, provided it's kept dry and free of pests. Compared to fiberglass, with a life span of 20 to 30 years, mineral wool stacks up well for long-term cost savings. Sheep wool maintains a similar life span to fiberglass, while estimates for hemp wool insulation life expectancies are all over the board, ranging anywhere from 20 to 100 years.

For your safety, you should always wear a mask when cutting batts of fiberglass insulation. We also recommend wearing eye protection, safety gloves, and long sleeves to protect your skin. Properly suiting up helps you avoid several fiberglass issues, such as cuts from the tiny shards of glass and inhaling small bits of fiberglass.
