"We have an Older home so some of the construction was differant but Shannon was able to solve any problems and did a great job of Insulating our side walls and the attic. We will now have a warm and cozy home. We can already feel the difference. We are waiting for the first utility bill after this was done to see how much our heating bill goes down. Would highly recommend S and K for insulation services. Dennis J"

"Prevailing came in to insulate my basement and attic. The workers were professional and worked the entire time they were here (which seems like a low standard, but I've had situations where 4 people come to work and 2 stand around talking for most of it from other companies). More importantly, they explained what they were doing as they did it, and cleaned up after themselves before they left! Scheduling the service was quick and easy since they were able to use our Alliant Energy quote to avoid a second home assessment, and they came in under budget. Very satisfied - plan to have them back to blow insulation in the exterior walls before winter."

"The installers were careful, courteous, & thorough. They left the premises clean & uncluttered. I can't wait to see the difference in our heating bill. They installed spray foam in the rim joist, a small ceiling in the basement & the walls in a crawl space."

"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."

Insulation questions, answered by experts

Yes, you need a 1.5-inch to 2-inch air gap in a cathedral ceiling to allow proper air flow and prevent cathedral ceiling venting problems. This amount of airspace allows warm, moist air to properly leave your ceiling to avoid moisture build-up and other issues that put your home at risk. You can also add an air vent for extra air flow.

It’s technically possible to install loose-fill cellulose insulation without a blower, but it’s much more time-consuming, tedious, and dangerous. You’ll need to wear the proper protective coverings to handle the cellulose after it’s been doused in boric acid; use a shovel when you can to transport the material from the bag into the wall cavity.

That said, if you purchase cellulose materials at a home improvement store, ask if they rent out blowers for free or at a discounted rate. In many cases, if you buy the material from the store, they’ll rent out the blower at no extra cost.

Through R-value assessments based on climate and existing insulation.

All garage doors, particularly newly installed models, add value to your home. Higher-quality and higher-priced doors increase the ROI, so a well-insulated custom garage door increases the value of your home more than a poorly-insulated stock model. Updating a garage door boasts the second-highest home improvement ROI, at nearly 95%.

Although spray foam insulation typically has a higher price point than traditional insulation, the benefits often justify the investment. It offers superior sealing properties, which can lead to significant energy bill savings. Spray foam also provides excellent moisture resistance and soundproofing. Other advantages include improved indoor air quality by minimizing allergens, a long lifespan of 80 to 100 years, added structural strength to the home, and a straightforward installation process.
