"Kyle is a professional in all aspects, timely phone calls, getting back to me, and very polite. I reached out to Olmsted Brothers for an insulation quote and he got it back to me right away. I am not ready to proceed right away due to other reasons, but am looking forward to working with Olmsted Brothers in the near future."

"Contacted a few different companies and had two come out to inspect a large crack in the foundation. First company came out and indicated that the foundation had failed and needed piers put in to stablize the foundation. Crawlspace Solutions came in and indicated that they felt there was nothing failing with the foundation and that they could inject the cracks and warranty the work regardless of if there was a larger issue that required piers. Scott was the person that estimated and completed the work. He was extremely responsive and did a very good job of injecting the cracks. When Scott came to quote the work he also offered a price to apply spray foam to the walls and the sill to replace the fiberglass insulation that the previous owner of the house had on the crawlspace walls. Price included in review was to inject 2 cracks and apply the spray foam. Really glad we had the foam insulation put in. Way cleaner, durable and sealed up some areas that the other insulation could not take care of. Scott also spent extra time explaining some other areas to keep an eye out on to help ensure the foundation area is well managed from any further potential issues like down spout discharge locations, hose connections and just general drainage of the property. One of the concerns we had was if we spend all this money on the injection and the foundation ends up needing to have piers put in, how would that impact the warranty. Scott assured us that if any additional settling occurs and the repair fails, they would come back and repair the injected cracks after the foundation was stable."

"Roberto was the technician and he was very professional, polite, and personable. He inspected the rest of our system and told us things that needed to be changed or repaired. He showed me pictures of everything. Everything he told me about was accurate. He quoted me a price for R38 insulation , Some of our ducts were plastic and he recommended them to be changed. I agreed completely and didn't know they were plastic. I would have had them done the work but I had no price comparisons to make and besides I didn't have the money right then. So he just finished the vent cleaning and left his card. He did a great job on the vent cleaning and was happy with the work."

"Excellent, family-run business. I called on Monday afternoon about adding insulation and the job was *completed* within 48 hours. The estimator (company co-owner) recommended reasonable solutions and did not try to "sell" me on things I didn't need. The installers were very courteous, showed up early, cleaned up well, and even put my stuff they had to move right back where they found it. I wish I called them years ago. Very pleased with this job and company."

Insulation questions, answered by experts

Not necessarily. A higher R-value simply means that the insulation has a higher heat resistance and performs better in terms of how much heat passes through the material. This can be better for some homes, or it can be too high of an R-value for other homes. Again, your climate zone determines whether the insulation is better for your home.

Each of the three types of wool insulation has particular disadvantages. While their R-value is higher, they all cost more than fiberglass versions. Installing mineral wool and sheep wool requires protective gear. Because of its vulnerability to insects, chemicals are used in its production. Hemp wool is more costly to install than other types because additional tools and labor are involved.

These two types of foams are similar chemically, but they are applied in a much different way and each has its own pros and cons. Spray foam can only be used if the area where you will be installing the installation is wide open and easy to access. Injection foam should be used where it's cost-prohibitive to remove the walls that are placed over the insulation. Spray foam is a much less expensive process and requires less expertise. 

Most insulation lasts 15 to 20 years, but it really depends on the type of insulation. Spray foam is a permanent insulation material that can last up to 100 years. Fiberglass and cellulose typically settle, shift, or deteriorate around 15 years. Once your insulation reaches the 15-year mark, it's time to check it for signs of needing to be replaced.

The benefits of insulating your pipes include preventing freezing, sweating, and condensation. In addition, insulating your pipes can make your home more energy-efficient by keeping your pipes from losing or gaining heat. You’ll be able to turn the temperature of your water heater down by two to four degrees Fahrenheit. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, this can reduce energy costs by 3% to 4% per year.
