"I was impressed with the work. The insulation was done everything was explained pictures were shown to. Us. The men who were here were new. What they were doing."
"I hired Brandon in March 2019 to do the contracting for a complete kitchen remodel on my 1960’s era home. The job included a complete rewire of the kitchen/dining room, moving plumbing, adding insulation and new drywall, tearing out the floors down to the subfloor, new French doors, the list goes on. All of his subcontractors did excellent work and I am beyond happy with the job they did. Brandon did an even better job of keeping everything on budget. When I get ready to redo the bathrooms I’ll be calling Wilson Home Services again."
"We needed repair/replace the insulation under our house. They came, gave an estimate and did the work. Replaced the moisture barrier, cleaned up. We are very pleased."
"Luke was a very personable person, gave me an estimate and that was what I paidâ ¦..No hidden cost or add ons . He was on time and left everything cleaner than he found it! I would recommend Cool Hand Insulation to anyone needing insulation."
"There's no better expert in insulation than someone who has lived in Alaska and did it up there where it's -40. I know it doesn't get that cold here in NWA but if he can insulate homes up there?! Yeah, just talk to Charles for half a second and you'll see he knows more about your insulation needs than anyone else. He sprays perfectly even so there isn't waves, it's all even so the temp stays perfect. He's got all the pictures to show you. If you want some amature insulation don't go here, if you want the absolute best? This is it."

"Would rate very good to excellent. . Personable, professional, punctual. Carpet, furniture, doors, windows and trim well protected before any work was started. Perhaps could have had less drywall damage with wallpaper removal in half of room. Wall surface repaired, primed, prepped for painting including sanding and painted.. ."
"I initially contacted three separate companies about solar panel installation. Solergy is the only one who seemed interested in my business and called me back right away to schedule a consultation. Roderick, the Sales Rep, was able to set up an appointment for the following day. When he arrived, he was very professional and courteous. He explained thoroughly the benefits of having solar panels, the type of superior quality solar panels they install (with individual micro-inverters for each panel) (all with a 25-year warranty), the cost, rebates, and tax incentives involved, and the typical installation process... from local permitting (including submissions to our local HOA), to the physical installation of the panels. By the time he left, I felt my wife and I had all the information we needed to make a decision on how we were going to proceed. Our biggest debate was how big a system we wanted to put on our roof, but Roderick was patient with us while we discussed our options. We felt no pressure to rush things. He gave us the time we needed to make the best decision for our needs and intended purpose for the system. I appreciated that. On the day before installation day, they dropped off the pallets of panels and other hardware. I recommend having an area cleared in your garage or carport for when they drop it off to keep the items secure and the boxes from getting wet and soggy if it happens to rain in your area overnight. They worked quickly and efficiently on installation day, and had the complete system installed on my house in one full day. They got there at 7:30 in the morning, and they were done by 4-5 p.m. that afternoon. The crew was friendly and courteous, and answered all my questions about the installation as the day progressed. I was happy and satisfied with the installation, and it looked professionally done. A day or so later, they provided a system monitoring app I could use to monitor the health of my system, showing information from each individual panel, an overview, and a really cool feature, where you put in the price you’re currently paying (per kilowatt hour) for energy, and it will tell you the equivalent amount you are saving by having the system installed. All real-time information. I think it’s pretty cool. Overall, I think they did an excellent job, from the first inquiry to the follow-up visit and calls during and after the installation. I would and will be recommending them to all my local family, friends, and neighbors. If you like this review, let them know that Don Jones in Haslet, Texas sent you. (When you purchase your system through them, they have a top-notch referral program, too!)"
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.
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.
If you’re using faced insulation with paper, face the paper toward the inside of the room during the installation process.
A good way to remember this is that the paper should face the “warm side” as it’s the vapor barrier, meaning it should face toward where the heat will be coming from.
Yes, even though frost-free and freeze-proof faucets are designed to withstand winter weather, it is still recommended to cover them with an insulated cap, especially during periods of extreme cold. These faucets work by keeping excess water inside the home's heated space and using a downward slope to drain, but this protection can be compromised. For the faucet to work correctly, you must always disconnect any attached hoses before temperatures drop below freezing, as a hose can trap water and lead to freezing. Ultimately, covering all outdoor faucets, even freeze-proof models, is the best way to prevent frozen and burst pipes.
Ductwork sweats due to a temperature difference between the air inside the ducts and the surrounding air, similar to how a cold drink develops condensation in the heat. This sweating is a sign that your HVAC system is not operating at peak efficiency. The best way to keep ductwork from sweating is to wrap it in proper insulation, which also improves your system's energy efficiency. Another option is to close off your crawl space and install a dehumidifier to dry the air and lower its dew point.
