"I had old asbestos insulation in a new house that we were moving into that we wanted removed and replaced. Dakota was quick to respond, come out to do a free quote, schedule and execute. I was worried that it would be expensive due to it being hazard cancer causing materials. But he had everything he needed to get it done quickly and safely and affordable! Amazing job!"

"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

If you have bubble wrap lying around the house and you don’t care about the odd look, taping bubble wrap over a window is a very affordable way to insulate it. Another inexpensive option for insulating windows is to add new caulk around the glass. This step quickly cuts down on air drafts for older windows, and a tube of caulk only costs a few dollars. Adding plastic shrink film around the glass is another cost-effective option. You can purchase a kit of plastic film for a few dollars per window.

The heat loss through a poorly insulated attic when you’re running your furnace or heat pump during cold weather can be as high as 25%. This means you could see significantly higher energy costs to make up for this heat loss. The cost of adding insulation to the attic may eventually pay for itself through lower energy bills. If you decide to add a radiant barrier too, the radiant barrier cost may also pay for itself over time.

Whether you should remove old insulation before blowing in new insulation depends on your particular situation. Fiberglass insulation attracts insects and mold over time, so if it has been decades since your last insulation upgrade, consider removing the old materials before placing the new ones. However, most types resist mold, insects, and mildew, so once you get the go-ahead from your contractor that your space is free from all three, feel free to install the new insulation directly on top of the pre-existing materials.

Traditional clapboard siding, particularly with panels made from wood, is not a significant insulator on its own. However, you can keep your home cooler in summer and warmer with "insulated clapboard siding," which is a type of vinyl clapboard siding with a built-in foam insulation. Consult a local siding contractor to determine whether insulated siding is right for your home.

Exposed ductwork can sweat just like ductwork placed behind walls, sometimes even more so. Ductwork sweats—like a cold drink on a hot day—because of a temperature imbalance between the air in the duct and the air in the room. In a crawl space or wall, this temperature can equalize faster due to the small space but in lofts and open rooms, that wouldn’t happen as quickly. Many people insulate their ducts for this reason.
