"Charles and his crew did an awesome job. They were prompt and professional. They cleaned up and took the time to explain everything they did and why. Their knowledge of R values and how to properly insulate for best results is second to none. Top Notch installed both blown in insulation and rolled in insulation in my attic. Part of my attic had exposed floor joists. They build a walkway so I could easily access the unfinished portion of my attic. They offered advise and guidance for additional projects. They were flexible with my schedule and were able to squeeze me in so my other projects would not fall behind. Charles and his team sincerely have the customers best interest at heart and genuinely care about the quality of work they do. I had a pleasurable experience working with the Top Notch Team and would highly recommend them. Thank you Charles for all your hard work and I look forward to working with you again. Sincerely Amanda"

"Not the best, but I guess not the worst either.
They did the door blower test which revealed different air leaks in the house. They sealed around some of the doors in the home, installed some door sweeps, caulked around baseboard registers etc. However, the work was far from consistent and less than professional in quality.
There are 15 registers / returns in the home and we were told they would caulk around them all, they caulked around 7. 2 of which the caulking was so thin that it cracked before the next morning.
There are 3 sinks in the house where pipes were supposedly "foamed and insulated" on their report. There is no additional insulation visible anywhere that I can see.
We are entitle up to 40 CFL light bulbs in the home, however, even the 30 they said they changed were not completed.
For example:
-there are 2 nightstand lamps in the bedroom. One lamp received a CFL and the other wasn't touched.
-there is a hallway ceiling light that was supposed to be changed out with CFLs, but still has the same old bulbs.
-downstairs bathroom still has all three original bulbs
-two bedroom ceiling fans that take regular "A" type bulbs all have the same bulbs
I sent an email to the gentlemen who came out to the house asking if we could at least receive the extra bulbs. He did respond and said yes, but never got back in touch with me. After the general overall experience I did not bother chasing after them for a few more dollars worth of bulbs. However, the whole point is not the money, its the fact that these were all listed on the report and not completed accordingly.
They did recommend an insulation company to come in and give us a quote and also told us about different programs offered from the state which would allow us access to rebates for making home energy improvements. All in all, I guess it helped us to know where the air leaks were in the house, but the overall performance of the team was simply sub-par. They were nice, polite and somewhat informative but by no means "wowed" me.

"The technician who came was a pleasant, competent professional who examined the unfinished attic to evaluateit w/r/t insulation only or insulation as part of a full finishing of the space. He took measurements and scratched out some information on his pad.. I told him that I intended to review my options before any decision. I offered payment at that time and he told me there was no charge for this service. It struck me as odd that he told me that what I had agreed to pay $19.00 for was actually free but I asumed billing would accompany an actual report/proposal. A month on I've never seen anything like a report although I have been charged via credit card for the inspection service. Perhaps the report-recommendation is still on its way? PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS REVIEW FORM REQUIRES A YES/NO HIRE AGAIN RESPONSE. I WOULD HAVE PREFERRED TO ANSWER UNDECIDED."

"Roberto was the technician and he was very professional, polite, and personable. He inspected the rest of our system and told us things that needed to be changed or repaired. He showed me pictures of everything. Everything he told me about was accurate. He quoted me a price for R38 insulation , Some of our ducts were plastic and he recommended them to be changed. I agreed completely and didn't know they were plastic. I would have had them done the work but I had no price comparisons to make and besides I didn't have the money right then. So he just finished the vent cleaning and left his card. He did a great job on the vent cleaning and was happy with the work."

"The initial consultation was so informative - Dennis taught us everything we needed to know about windows, gutters and insulation! He took the time to answer our questions and promoted their quality products.   He explained the benefits of spending a little more money on quality windows and having professionals install them so they get done correctly the first time.  From there, everyone we spoke to or dealt with  in the company was so pleasant and professional.  The foreman (Gil) was well-versed in lead paint removal safety standards and did an absolutely beautiful job on the outside trim for the windows.  He's very skilled and finished the complete install over 4 days with the help of only one other equally skilled craftsman.  Any issues we had with the installation (all minor) were promptly corrected to our standards.   He also installed our attic insulation quickly which was no more than a couple of hours' work.  The gutters were installed in 1 day by another 2-person team that was equally skilled and hard-working.  They were also a delight to work with.  I'm sorry that I can't remember their names to give them a shout-out because they were very lighthearted and funny.   There were some miscommunications between the scheduler and the specialists, however, which did affect our schedule.  We're fortunate though that one of us is a homemaker and were able to adjust easily.  We understand that things don't always go as planned, but last-minute changes can be hard for some people don't have the luxury of an open schedule.  A stricter adherence to the schedule and clearer communications in regards to scheduling would have been ideal, but overall we were so delighted to work with this company and look forward to working with them again for our siding!  They have quality products, a skilled and professional staff, and they're local!  Definite recommendation for anyone looking for quality home improvement - worth every penny!!"

"Dave the sales guy came out for an estimate I was a little reluctant, I had 4 other companies come out to give me a quote on the the window and the estimates were all over the border and the quality of the windows from the other companies just weren't making me feel secure about prices. Dave the salesman came in and even though I was only looking to replace one window, he said let's walk around the house just so I can show you the difference between the windows I'm selling and your others, he was able to intelligently show me the way the other windows were installed and things that needed to be changed long term. He wasn't pushy and was able to say these windows don't need to be replaced but here is the difference in quality of what I'm selling you vs what you have in now. He brought a sample window with him with a heat lamp so I could see the difference. He was able to show me the things that would needed to be done to the window as they were removing it. The other companies did not even include in their estimates the border of the window once it was removed, insulation to the window or the replacement warranties. Dave was able to sell me a window with a life time warranttee that could even be turned over to one additional owner should I sell my house. Dave was able to show me the difference in the price of different windows with samples he could sell me the why I would want each of them and why I would not. Everything was put in writing and explained to me with no high pressure of buy this today feeling he told me to take some time and think about it and when I was ready call him. Once I signed the contract, they sent the instillation team to come over to do a final measurement on the window to make sure the measurements were correct. When they came they showed up with flowers for me, and a card which was a nice added tough. The three men that showed up to do the instillation were very professional to do the instillation they explained to me everything that they were going to do before it was done and during the process kept me posted. I took photographs of the before and after, everyone driving by the house says what a facelift the house had by just changing this one window out. I would tell you I was reluctant at first because I had never heard of this brand of window and did lots of research on it before signing the contract. When I did the research it ended up being a top rated brand of windows with high reviews from several people. The price was very reasonable compared to other large bow windows I was looking at. I would highly recommend Dave & Dave.

Insulation questions, answered by experts

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 amount and type of insulation your home needs depends on your location, climate, and the specific installation area (attic, walls, or floors). Your local building code will typically determine the minimum required R-value. For specific recommendations, Energy Star suggests the following R-values: homes in the Southern U.S. should have R30 to R60 in attics and R13 to R25 in floors and walls; homes in moderate climates need R38 to R60 in attics and R25 to R30 in floors and walls; and homes in northern states require R49 to R60 in attics and R25 to R30 in floors and walls.

You do not need to drywall over most types of garage insulation. However, doing so can increase noise reduction, make the space more attractive, and keep children and pets from touching harmful fiberglass insulation. If you’re using cellulose or some other type of blown-in insulation (fiberglass and mineral wool are common), you will need drywall to contain the insulation material.

Ideally, you can add new insulation to your existing insulation. However, some circumstances require you to remove old insulation before adding any new insulation: 

  • If the insulation is over 15 years old

  • If the insulation is wet or moldy

  • If it is vermiculite insulation

  • If you see signs of pest infestation

Removing old insulation is best left to a pro who can safely dispose of potential moldy or asbestos-ridden insulation.

If you have blown-in insulation, using an insulation vacuum will quickly and easily suck up all the insulation. Many come with built-in HEPA filters for added safety. While some people suggest breaking up large batts and feeding them into the vacuum, this can expose you to more fiberglass fibers. With batts and rolls, carefully removing them and placing them into garbage bags is a better process.
