"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!"

"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."

"The process went quickly and smoothly. Jonathan Handey came to our house to look over our current issues with our insulation, attic, and overall efficiency of our home built in 1948. He recommended that we seal all the top plates in the attic, insulate and air seal our duct leaks, blow new loosefill insulation over our entire attic to upgrade our insulation, air seal the open ares around our floors, windows, and doors, and install weather stripping on all of our doors.
The work took a total of two days and we barely noticed the workers in our home despite the fact that I work from home. They were hard at work in our basement and attic for 8-10 hours each day and got everything completed in a quick and thorough manner. Once they were completed they tested out the home to see if there was any energy loss coming through the top plates, ducts, etc. and the tests showed that my home's performance had been greatly improved. 
Jonathan and his crew were incredibly professional and kind at the same time. They provided an itemized list with costs of each improvement they were to make in the initial bid process of the job and they communicated clearly and effectively throughout the process as to the timeframe and what we were to expect. 
I would work with them again.

Insulation questions, answered by experts

In addition to adding insulation to your attic, you may want to add a radiant barrier. A radiant barrier works by using reflective material, such as foil, on the attic floor. As heat penetrates the roof and enters the attic, the radiant barrier reflects the heat upward and back through the roof. If you receive a lot of direct sunlight on the roof, using both a radiant barrier and insulation in your attic can provide significant benefits.

Buying a house with vermiculite insulation is not recommended without going through a proper testing process. Vermiculite insulation can potentially contain asbestos, which poses health risks when disturbed. While it is possible to purchase a home with vermiculite insulation, you should have it tested for asbestos, and ensure proper containment if asbestos is present. If asbestos is present, you will want to hire a professional to remove it, ideally before you move in.

Blown-in insulation works, but only for unfinished attics. Also, it isn’t the longest-lasting nor the most effective option. For better options, look into spray foam insulation or natural fiber batts. They typically have a longer lifespan, better heat resistance, and stronger sound-proof abilities. Spray foam insulation costs about $1.25 to $1.50 per square foot, but can go up to more than $4 per square foot. Fiber batt pricing varies depending on the material.

At a minimum, blown-in insulation lasts 20 to 30 years. Cellulose and sheep’s wool come from natural materials, so they likely max out at around 30 years. Fiberglass and rockwool feature artificial materials that boast lengthy lifespans, up to 50 years, or even longer in some cases. As always, this timeline assumes you don’t run into any issues, such as flooding or mold, that shorten the lifespan.

There are two reasons why cellulose insulation repels rodents (and insects). First, the insulation has been treated with boric acid, which is a natural pest-repellent. In addition, the loose-fill style of cellulose creates less-than-ideal conditions for mice and other rodents to nest and burrow, helping to keep them at bay.
