"I worked with Olmstead Brothers to have my pole barn spray foamed. I was so happy throughout the entire process. I have worked with several insulators through years of home construction, but Kyle and his crews bring a level of professionalism that is not typical in the residential construction industry. Kyle was extremely knowledgeable and easily answered all of my questions. The crew arrived right on time and did a great job of protecting all the surfaces to keep foam off my floor, lights and doors. They cleaned up nicely and were a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Olmstead Brothers to anyone interested in insulating a home, barn or any other structure!"

"Thanks to them, our bedroom in our new home was toasty for the first time since the temps dropped below freezing! They were fast, friendly, scheduled us quickly, and cleaned up every scrap of dust afterwards. The price was great, too. We will be working with them again on our basement insulation shortly, and would heartily recommend them to anyone who needs insulation work in this area."

Insulation questions, answered by experts

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.

One of the biggest disadvantages of glass garage doors is that they are not the best at insulating your garage. In the summer, heat can enter through the glass, while in the winter, heat can escape through the glass, increasing your electricity and gas bills as you crank up your HVAC unit. You can help mitigate the poorer insulation by investing in insulated glass and insulating your garage.

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.

Yes, even though frost-free and freeze-proof faucets are designed to withstand winter weather, it is still recommended to cover them with an insulated cap, especially during periods of extreme cold. These faucets work by keeping excess water inside the home's heated space and using a downward slope to drain, but this protection can be compromised. For the faucet to work correctly, you must always disconnect any attached hoses before temperatures drop below freezing, as a hose can trap water and lead to freezing. Ultimately, covering all outdoor faucets, even freeze-proof models, is the best way to prevent frozen and burst pipes.

A DIY blown-in insulation project in a typical attic should take you no more than a week to complete. Experienced homeowners can blow an entire attic in one or two days.
