"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

Most insulation lasts 15 to 20 years, but it really depends on the type of insulation. Spray foam is a permanent insulation material that can last up to 100 years. Fiberglass and cellulose typically settle, shift, or deteriorate around 15 years. Once your insulation reaches the 15-year mark, it's time to check it for signs of needing to be replaced.

Glass fibers are often used in HEPA filters because of their high efficiency, durability, and thermal stability. Some HEPA filters are made with synthetic fibers, but they may not be as effective. While there is some fiberglass shedding, as long as the HEPA filter is intact and not cut open, the amount of fiberglass released by a HEPA filter is well below the breathable particulate matter.

Yes, exposure to fiberglass insulation can cause harm to your skin and eyes. However, this typically refers to the fiberglass insulation that is mostly used in walls and attics. Fiberglass doors don’t pose risks for fiberglass exposure because they're fully encased in polymer cladding.

To cover your HVAC ducts and air vents during construction, use plastic sheets or drop cloths secured with painter's tape. Be sure to cover all supply vents on your floors and walls, as well as the larger HVAC return vent, which is typically on the ceiling. While canvas drop cloths can also be used, they may not catch all the fine dust. It is crucial to shut off your HVAC system or at least the zone where construction is happening. Running the system with vents sealed can put significant strain on the blower motor and air handler. For additional dust containment, you can also hang plastic sheets over doorways to separate the construction area from the rest of your home.

EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System) siding can last from 20 to 60 years, with some properly maintained systems lasting even longer. The exact lifespan depends heavily on several factors, most notably the quality of the initial installation and the consistency of maintenance.

Factors that can shorten the life of EIFS include:

  • Improper or poor-quality installation

  • Moisture intrusion

  • Damage from high winds, storms, or hail

  • Damaged flashing and sealant

  • Lack of regular maintenance and unfixed damage

To maximize the lifespan of your EIFS, it is crucial to hire an experienced and qualified professional for the installation. Additionally, regular maintenance—such as cleaning, repairing small cracks or blisters, and having the system professionally inspected—will help identify and resolve issues quickly, preventing long-term damage.
