"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.. ."
"My representative was great... He helped me to understand the solar system, the process of the install and cost. He communicated well throught the entire process by calling and emailing me to keep me informed about when my system would be installed and answered any questions I had filling out paperwork for the contract. He also checked up with me to see if the install was done to my satisfaction and explained how to track my energy consumption from the panels by installing the app on my phone. The representative was professional and I would highly recommend Solergy. Now I'm excited to see how much I will save on electricity!"
Radiant barriers and insulation serve different purposes, so one is not inherently better than the other. Radiant barriers reflect radiant heat, helping keep spaces cool, especially in hot climates, while insulation slows heat transfer through conduction. For optimal energy efficiency, it’s best to use both together.
Radiant barriers can enhance the performance of insulation by preventing heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter. The choice between them depends on specific climate conditions and the building’s design requirements.
In nearly all cases, you are required to install a vapor barrier in your crawl space. However, local regulations will change based on the local climate and the crawl space's susceptibility to moisture. Even if a vapor barrier is not legally required, it is often a good idea to keep your crawl space dry.
The level of insulation is determined by both the material and the thickness of the door. Some garage door materials (such as wood) have natural insulating capabilities, while other materials (such as metal) do not. No matter the material, two-layer and three-layer garage doors have a higher R-value than single-layer garage doors, as insulation is fitted between the panels.
The primary purpose of insulation is to maintain comfortable temperatures in a home, whether that’s cool air when it’s hot out, or warm air in winter, but that’s not all it can do. All options will also minimize heating and cooling needs, lowering both your carbon footprint and energy bills in turn. And some options, like rigid foam boards, even offer soundproofing benefits, too.
For standard 2x4 walls, the ideal insulation has an R-value between R-13 and R-15. This level of insulation, typically around 3.5 inches thick, fits well within the wall cavity. Common options include fiberglass batts and spray foam. The best choice for your home can depend on your climate; use R-value maps, like those from Energy Star, to determine the recommended level for your region. For colder climates, you might also consider adding exterior insulation for greater efficiency. Always check with your local building codes to ensure you meet any required standards.
