"Our home was built in 2016, but not to our specifications. The builder did just the minimum R-34 insulation in the attic, causing the HVAC to run constantly most of the year and the home could not hold its temperature (set to 73 but rose as high as 80 degrees). I sent a request to TLS and (surprisingly) got a call back within minutes from the owner Seth who, despite being on the road in Texas acquiring new trucks, spent a solid 15-20 mins on the phone to understand my situation. His product type is above standard and his prices are extremely fair, so set an appointment. Two weeks later, his brother Tom arrive 10 minutes EARLY for the appointment and his crew quickly knocked out the job in less time that they estimated. Since then our home (now with R-50+ attic insulation) stays cooler, has less humidity and the HVAC isn't working as hard. Hats-off to Seth & Tom at TLS Insulation! I highly recommend this company!!"
"Great company to deal with. We had issues with great room insulation due to another contract not replacing insulation properly after hurricane repairs. Koala cane in, assessed the issue snd quickly came up with a plan to address the issues we were experiencing. Very professional and knowledgeable in all interactions. Repeats just completed. Hope the new insulation insulation does it job."
"We contacted several companies for estimates. TLS was the most professional, honest, and at a reasonable price. We were provided the estimate right away without having to wait. We qualified for a Duke Energy rebate which lowered our cost even further. The installation was done efficiently. The y made sure to vacuum any fallen insulation in the house and the floors and stairs were left clean and meticulous. Thank you for doing an outstanding job."

"David responded quickly to my request for quote, visited in person to scope out the work, and was able to fit me in to his schedule within a week. David was on-site and helping while the work was being done, and his crew all acted professionally. They cleaned up when they were finished and the job exceeded my expectations. Thank you for the prompt, professional, and clean insulation job! Would hire again. (1500 sqft Garage/Workshop, open cell spray foam roof and walls)"
"I had an amazing experience with this spray foam insulation company. From the first phone call, they were upfront, honest, and very knowledgeable. The crew showed up exactly when they said they would and walked me through the whole process before starting. They insulated my attic and part of my garage, and the difference was noticeable the same day ? the rooms stay cooler, and the AC doesn?t run nearly as much"
"Deserves 10 Stars.
Steve went “above and beyond.” He was on sight within 30 minutes of my asking for a quote. He made excellent cost-effective recommendations and completed repairs within an hour. He also pointed out related problems that previous contractor must fix.
Very professional & courteous,
Highly recommend."
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.
Structural insulated panels and rigid foam boards have the highest R-value of any insulation that contractors commonly use, with R-values reaching up to around 8.0. These types of insulation are best in extremely cold climates, but they’re generally preferred for new construction, as they can be challenging to retrofit. Blown-in and loose fill insulation provide the next best insulative value, provided the installation is done properly. It’s important to choose an insulation type that meets your needs based on climate, as maximizing R-value may not always be financially worthwhile if you live in a moderate climate.
Fiberglass is considered dangerous only if your skin comes into contact with it or if you breathe in any fiberglass particles. This is because fiberglass is literally made of tiny fibers of glass that can cut your skin and your organs. While there aren’t many long-term effects, it’s still important to take all the proper safety precautions when working with fiberglass.
Actually, condensation can mean that your windows are more energy efficient because the seal keeps cold air out and warm air in. In some cases, windows with poor seals can lead to more condensation, but they may allow the cold and warm air to mix and reduce condensation. If you’re worried about whether or not your windows are properly insulated, have a pro assess them.
Yes, many professionals offer insulation options, such as insulated siding (including insulated metal siding), to improve your home's energy efficiency.
