"Weather Shield was professional, thorough and conscientious.... qualities not always found in businesses today. I’m glad I used their service. They did a great job!"
"nick and his crew were experienced and very knowledgeable in their product and the job they are hired for. I like the quick communication and the being on time when it came to perform the job. I would highly recommend hiring NM Enterprises for any job that has to do with insulation. Very professional and they take pride in doing a great job for their customers. Also, did items beyond what they were hired to do like, rerouted my kitchen vent that the builder or roofers did not vent through the roof, also removed some items that were left in attic from another owner. Again, i recommend hiring NM Enterprises for your next insulation job."
"We had ARC Insulation out to our house for mold remediation and insulation installation recently. We would like to extend our appreciation and overall endorsement of their services. Adrian and Eleazar arrived at our house on time and promptly prepared the house for the installation. They took extra care to insure that the procedure would be completed safely, cleanly, and accurately. We were impressed with their professionalism, knowledge, and work ethic. Both employees were personable and displayed a willingness to perform a job which would represent the company in a favorable light. It is reassuring that there are companies which are committed to a high degree of professionalismâ ¦and ARC Insulation is one of them. We highly recommend them for those looking for mold remediation and/or insulation. We would not hesitate to use ARC Insulation again if the need should arise. An enthusiastic five stars."
"Excellent experience working with ARC. Informative and clear instructions on how to prepare for the installation and what exactly the work would entail. The crew was very professional and didn't make a mess. After they were done you couldn't tell anyone had been here. We can feel a difference immediately in the comfort level throughout the house and we no longer have wide temperature differentials between the basement and the top floor."

By making basement and attic areas safer and more livable, they allow you to market these spaces as finished living areas, which increases your property's value. Many homeowners can recover the full installation cost, with some sources citing a return on investment of around 70%. The exact value added depends on your specific home, location, and adherence to local building codes. Beyond financial value, egress windows enhance functionality by adding natural light and comfort.
