"Attic Elite is BY FAR the most professional insulation contractor. When you are looking at a major purchase (over 10k) it's good to know the contractor isn't "flying by the seat of their pants", especially when asbestos is involved."

"Every person that came into our home from Tri-County was very professional and respectful.  They covered everything with plastic before removing the insulation and again when blowing it back in.  They cleaned up and disposed of the plastic, vacuumed the attic and cleaned up after themselves such that  you would never have known they were here.  The job of sealing the attic was done so well that the inspector made a comment that he had never seen a job done as well as this and ask who had done the work.  He gave them very high praise.  

The salesman we had, Bryan Zailer, was very knowledgeable and helpful.  He would call back immediately if we had a question and stop by to check on things.  I would highly recommend Tri-County to everyone for their insulation needs."

"We had a problem where rats used to get in the attic via the air spaces. This big problem caused an infestation that required us to solve this problem and to replace the insulation.
Adam from Attic master,  was very nice to us and understood the problem very well. He sent to our house one his main guys to check and see how he can help us solving this problem. As part of his great service, he was also able to close all the openings on top of the new insulation. 
I'm very happy that 1 company could solve this problem once and for all.

Insulation FAQs, answered by experts

When installing metal siding, a high-quality house wrap is considered the best protection against condensation and moisture infiltration. House wraps can increase a home's efficiency significantly. However, a house wrap is not a replacement for a vapor barrier because it can be permeable when moist air passes through siding. This is why it's essential to follow manufacturer instructions for insulating siding when installing new siding.

Exposed ductwork can sweat just like ductwork placed behind walls, sometimes even more so. Ductwork sweats—like a cold drink on a hot day—because of a temperature imbalance between the air in the duct and the air in the room. In a crawl space or wall, this temperature can equalize faster due to the small space but in lofts and open rooms, that wouldn’t happen as quickly. Many people insulate their ducts for this reason.

Asbestos has many beneficial properties, including fire resistance, strength, and chemical resistance. It is also an excellent insulator, which is why it was used in pipe insulation and other building materials for decades. For all its benefits, asbestos is dangerous for human health, which is why it was eventually banned from use in certain products.

How to dispose of insulation depends on a few factors, including the condition of the material. While you can simply bag up and throw away many kinds of insulation, some municipalities offer recycling, so it's worth checking with yours. If there are contaminants such as asbestos in your insulation, abatement and specialized disposal are often necessary.

To keep cold out, look for treatments that sit close to the window frame and are made from thick, insulating materials. Thermal curtains, cellular shades, window quilts, and insulated shutters can all help retain heat. Layering window treatments, like pairing lined curtains with cellular shades, can provide even better insulation by further reducing drafts and heat transfer.
