"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."

I was extremely impressed with Jonathan's professionalism and knowledge.  He has a background in home inspection and the evaluation included an examination of the exterior and interior of the house, including the attic and basement/garage/crawlspace.  His chief worker had worked as an electrician and he checked the wiring.  With these two, I felt I had a mini home inspection and electrical inspection included in this evaluation.  I had many questions about houses and insulation and I received clear answers, with reference to current building codes in my jurisdiction.  Jonathan and his crew arrived on time (or slightly early) for the appointments and Jonathan was very responsive to communication via phone or email.  They worked with my schedule and were considerate of my formerly feral cats, including the new foundling in the bathroom.  The work took place over two days and the crew cleaned up after the work and even repaired the ill-fitting access hatch to the attic. 

I learned that, in older homes, there is much leakage of winter cold air into the walls since the tops in the attic are not sealed and that there are many areas in the floors and walls for cold air to come into the house from the basement/crawlspace, around wiring and plumbing.  These were all sealed and insulated.  The areas of ductwork around the point where it goes into the house (behind the grates) were replaced and sealed with insulating foam.  The hatch to the attic and the area around the whole house fan were insulated and weather stripped.  Weather stripping was placed around the doors and a blanket covered the hot water heater in the basement.  Insulation was blown into the attic.

The first thing I noticed upon coming into my house was how quiet it is now!  There are no drafts, even as cold as it's been this week (in the teens and 20s at night).  I'm sure the energy bills will be lower.

I highly recommend Jonathan and the Eco Three team!

Insulation questions, answered by experts

Mold can grow on garage ceiling insulation, which is why it’s important to install a vapor barrier behind the insulation and keep the space cooled and heated as you would your living area. Doing so will more or less eliminate the risk of mold growing on your garage ceiling insulation. You can also install a self-draining dehumidifier to help remove moisture, or opt for a foam board insulation or spray foam insulation that won’t harbor moisture and mold.

Selling a house with spray foam insulation can be challenging due to concerns about improper installation or its compatibility with the home's structure. If not applied correctly, spray foam can cause issues such as moisture buildup, cracking, or damage to wiring and plumbing. If the insulation didn't cure correctly, there are also flammability concerns. Removing or repairing this type of insulation can pose risks as well.

Air duct insulation typically lasts for 10 to 15 years or even longer, depending on the material and maintenance. It's important to conduct periodic inspections to check for signs of deterioration, such as water damage, tears, or general wear. If you find any of these issues, it may be time for repairs or a full replacement. You might also consider upgrading your insulation even if it's in good shape to improve your home's energy efficiency and enhance your HVAC system's performance with newer, more effective materials.

The best type of insulation for your home depends on your specific needs, climate, and the area you are insulating. For new construction, structural insulated panels are a highly energy-efficient option that is easy to install during the building process. In very warm climates, reflective insulation can be a cost-effective choice. For cold climates, fiberglass is an excellent option due to its high R-value and resistance to settling over time. Spray foam works well in humid environments because of its moisture-resistant properties. For standard attics, loose-fill, spray foam, or blown-in insulation are all suitable options.

On average, insulating an attic costs about $2,500, with a typical range of $1,500 to $3,500. The final price often depends on the attic's size, with costs generally falling between $1 to $3 per square foot. For example, insulating a 1,800-square-foot attic would likely cost between $1,800 and $5,400.

If the project involves removing old insulation, this can add an average of $900 to the total cost, bringing a full removal and reinsulation project to around $3,000.

Several factors influence the overall cost:

  • Insulation Type: Prices per square foot vary significantly by material.

  • Reflective: $0.50–$1.50

  • Blown-in: $1–$4

  • Batt: $2–$4

  • Loose-fill: $2–$5

  • Spray foam: $2–$5

  • Structural insulated panels (SIPs): $4–$7

  • Project Complexity: Factors like sealing air leaks, poor attic accessibility, and required inspections can add to the cost.

  • Removal Issues: The discovery of mold, asbestos, or pests during the removal of old insulation can substantially increase the price.
