"I am very happy with the honesty and professionalism of this company. They were going to use the foam insulation in the bedroom, but were unable to access it. They took pictures of the attic space before and after they pumped in the spray insulation. The house is feeling cooler now as we had no insulation in the attic under a metal roof."
"I?ve seen the results of Cornerstone Insulation LLC?s work on several homes in our area, and the craftsmanship is excellent.

"James and his guys from A&V Insulation took care of us after the Flooding from Hurricane Milton. They removed and replaced the duct work, insulation and moisture barrier in the crawl space below our home as well as thoroughly treating for mold until they were sure it was all gone. They did all this in a very professional and timely manner and at and extremely fair price. I urge anyone looking for an insulation company to use A&V Insulation, you will not be disappointed. I will be recommending them to all of my family and friends. Thank You A &V Insulation."
"Kyle and his helper were prompt efficient and did an excellent job. He explained everything quite clearly and did a great job upgrading my attic insulation to R 38. The improvement in the comfort of my condo was amazing."
"Rodney and Terry arrived on time 8:30AM. Rodney answered questions/concerns I had about insulation. They proceeded getting the job done. I was having this done as my garage gets very hot in the summer, no ventilation in attic. Rodney recommended a solar fan on roof. Will have this done is the spring time. I got recommedations and quotes from several other companies. They were recommending other types of insulation that cost a lot more. Was very happy with price and service I got with Reichel Insulaltion. "

Natural fiber batts and spray foam insulation both work great for soundproofing. Newer materials, such as hemp batts, are more expensive but more effective for insulation and sound blocking. They are also more sustainable. There is also a professional system called Blow-In Blanket Insulation (BIBS) that is soundproof and moisture-resistant. However, BIBS must be installed professionally and can be a costly investment.
A plastic vapor barrier should completely cover your basement to prevent water from penetrating through the walls. This typically goes before installing insulation to prevent moisture from building up and becoming trapped on the inside of your insulation, where it can collect and lead to mold damage. Installing insulation after the vapor barrier allows for any moisture to exit the walls for better ventilation.
Traditional clapboard siding, particularly with panels made from wood, is not a significant insulator on its own. However, you can keep your home cooler in summer and warmer with "insulated clapboard siding," which is a type of vinyl clapboard siding with a built-in foam insulation. Consult a local siding contractor to determine whether insulated siding is right for your home.
The amount of insulation you need will vary depending on where you live. Energy Star recommends certain minimum insulation values in different geographic regions. In most cases, however, even adding a little insulation is better than not adding any.
For your safety, you should always wear a mask when cutting batts of fiberglass insulation. We also recommend wearing eye protection, safety gloves, and long sleeves to protect your skin. Properly suiting up helps you avoid several fiberglass issues, such as cuts from the tiny shards of glass and inhaling small bits of fiberglass.
