"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."

"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"
"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)"
"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."
Three signs that you need crawl space insulation are drafts, high energy bills, and mold. Drafts can start in crawl spaces and cause hot or cold air to spread to the rest of your home through holes in the floors and walls. And even if your entire home is well-insulated, you can still feel an unchecked draft from your crawl space and in your utility bill. Uninsulated crawl spaces can let in air and moisture, and because they’re built directly on the ground and difficult to dry out, they are hotspots for mold and mildew.
Rockwool insulation can last up to 100 years, but just how long this insulation lasts in your home depends on how well it's maintained. Poorly installed insulation may last only 30 years, so be sure to regularly inspect your home's insulation for water damage, settling, and pests to give your insulation the best chance of having a long lifespan.
The R-value is a rating that measures an insulation's thermal resistance—in other words, how well it insulates. A higher R-value provides more protection for your pipes, and all pipe insulation materials should have an R-value listed on the product description or label. Each insulation type has its own R-value, which typically falls between one and five for most pipe insulation. When making a selection, Energy.gov recommends choosing a pipe wrap that is at least one inch thick, and the International Code Council (ICC) suggests choosing a material with an R-value of at least 3.
Insulating your basement walls offers numerous advantages that make the project well worth it. By adding insulation, you can reduce the chances of moisture damage to the house's structure and lower the odds of mold growth. You'll also add comfort to the space by reducing temperature swings and increasing your home's energy efficiency, potentially reducing your energy bills to earn your investment back.
The lifespan of insulation depends on the material type. Fiberglass can last between 80 and 100 years, but it is important to start checking it around the 15-year mark. Spray foam has a lifespan of up to 100 years, and mineral wool can last up to 100 years. Cellulose, an eco-friendly option, has a lifespan of 20 to 30 years.
