Shawn was great to work with! He called me right away and came out that day to take measurements for us. Once the materials arrived he scheduled the install with me immediately and did a fantastic job for us. Do yourself a favor and work with Shawn on your next project, he's great!

The roof they installed on our shed is immaculate. They showed up consistently and in a timely matter every day for 2 days to get the job done. The owner is very easy to work with and if you have an issue he will do his best to resolve it. Highly recommend these guys!

Installed our furnace, a/c, water heater, etc. They have been doing all of our work, but unfortunately when I called this year they were just too busy. I have been very satisfied with their work thus far.

They installed a fence a wall, a door, a railing and painted for us. They were quick, professional, respectful of our property and cleaned up after themselves. The best part was after the job was done we didn't need to pay a penny more then what they quoted us!

Doorbell Installation questions, answered by experts

Spreading tin foil over your windows works similarly to radiant barrier insulation, but not as well. It will reflect some of the sunlight that would otherwise come through the glass and warm up the inside of your home, so it might help a little to keep your home cool in the summer. However, the appearance isn’t preferable to blinds or drapes that can offer the same benefits. You might also consider tinting your windows instead, which is a more aesthetically pleasing change that can still block a good portion of the solar heat coming through your windows.

While not every wall requires a vapor barrier, if you do need one and don’t install it, moisture can get between the walls of your home. This can lead to water damage from mold growth or rot, and the excess moisture could also attract pests, including termites, cockroaches, or ants.

Open-cell foam insulation has a life span ranging between 15 to 25 years when well cared for. However, the material may degrade sooner in areas with high humidity or after prolonged water exposure. Proper installation and maintenance can maximize its longevity but requires close monitoring. Closed-cell foam insulation has a longer life span of 30 to 50 years.

If you’re using faced insulation with paper, face the paper toward the inside of the room during the installation process.

A good way to remember this is that the paper should face the “warm side” as it’s the vapor barrier, meaning it should face toward where the heat will be coming from.

Professionals can install a radiant barrier in a day or two, but DIY installation will take several days. The time it takes to install a radiant barrier depends largely on the size of the space and the installation method. Larger homes can take a pro two to three days to finish the job. It’s also quicker to lay foil over existing insulation.
