"Abraham and his team, Will and Josh, did a great job of removing old insulation, sealing air leaks and adding new insulation to the attic in my 46 year old home. The old insulation was blocking air flow through the attic and this needed to be addressed, which they did. They were very professional and hard-working. Communication was excellent and everything was well explained and the process photographed. We are glad we hired Abraham for this project!"

"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"

"Jeff Smith is based at the Waterloo office. He was very good at customer service & responded to my emails in a reasonable time given this is probably a busy time of the year (November) for them. I am having additional blow in insulation behind a knee wall & in the attic to bring me up to code. The work has not been completed yet. I am waiting for an energy audit. That is why I can only rate the company as a 3."

"Abraham and his crew are amazing! He came highly recommended from my best friend that her home insulated. Fantastic communication, easy to work with, even when we had extra questions and concerns due to bad service people we had previously worked with. He eased our minds, he's professional and his crew was polite and cleaned up everything at the end of insulating our 3 attics!"

Insulation questions, answered by experts

R-value stands for resistance value and is a number assigned to insulation that states how good the insulation is at heat transference (insulation). The R-value of injection foam is around 4 which homeowners will be happy to know is actually quite good. Another benefit of injection foam versus fiberglass foam is that the colder it gets, the more injection foam retains its resistance properties, whereas fiberglass tends to lose its efficiency in colder temperatures.

While fiberglass is dangerous to work with, it’s a perfectly safe material once it’s installed. If you’re tackling the installation yourself, make sure you take the proper safety precautions and wear the right gear to avoid skin and eye irritation and lung complications. Working with a professional insulation company can mitigate these risks.

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.

Mold can grow on garage ceiling insulation, which is why it’s important to install a vapor barrier behind the insulation and keep the space cooled and heated as you would your living area. Doing so will more or less eliminate the risk of mold growing on your garage ceiling insulation. You can also install a self-draining dehumidifier to help remove moisture, or opt for a foam board insulation or spray foam insulation that won’t harbor moisture and mold.

Insulation can be made of cellulose, fiberglass, polyurethane, polystyrene, or mineral wool. Radiant barriers are often made of aluminum or other similarly reflective materials, but they will need to be paired with something else because they don’t provide heating benefits. Cellulose is among the most eco-friendly options and may be recycled when it’s past its shelf-life, whereas polyurethane and polystyrene both emit harmful compounds and will need to be handled with care during installation.
