"We were so happy with our experience with Randy from Paragon Services, we have had him out 2 times in the last month to address both the attic and the crawl space of our new home. After Randy and his team replaced our fiberglass insulation in the crawl space with spray foam, it raised the average air temperature on our first floor by over 15 degrees! I has made a HUGE difference right away and I can’t wait to see the $$ we save on our heating/air conditioning. Paragon Services is fast to respond to messages and phone calls. Randy was able to come out for a quote within a few days we were on the schedule within a week or two. On installation day, the crew was on time and professional. I was blown away by Randy’s knowledge and honesty. I never felt rushed during our conversations or pushed to commit to a purchase. He took his time to investigate the issues, develop an appropriate plan of action, and prepare a thorough quote. He went over everything with me to make sure I understood what he was proposing and why. I learned so much just in our few conversations. I also loved that he not only addressed the issue I called him out for, but made sure any related issues were addressed as well. The prices are very reasonable and their customer service is excellent! I definitely recommend Randy and Paragon Services!"

"It went really well. Robert Carroll really knows his stuff. Hire this guy. I say that without reservation of any kind. Don't look any further, believe me, I did. This is the smartest guy. He is honest, dependable, offers fair pricing, and his team can do all the work. I got several estimates from A+ rated insulation companies, but Robert was more knowledgeable than the other companies. He was the only one to point out that my soffits were not vented. Apparently, my house was built on the day no one was inspecting. The builder never cut open the soffits. That meant there was zero airflow going through my attic. The attic fan could run all day, but without air to move, it would not do any good. Only Robert noticed this and offered a solution to fix the problem! I asked some of the other A+ companies if they would vent the soffits and they all said they don't do that work, but they would be happy to add more insulation, which would not fix the problem if the attic was not vented."

"Brian S did a great job diagnosing issues with my water heater. He was able to schedule one of their plumbers to come out and install a new water heater the next day. I would highly recommend Perma Seal for any future waterproofing and plumbing needs."

"Literally a truckload of dirt and old insulation was removed from a crawlspace under a town house. Openings in the foundation were sealed or covered, the floor was swept clean and the crawlspace walls sprayed with insulating foam. 2-day job in tough conditions and with limited city parking, professionally and efficiently executed, indeed resulting in a perfect crawlspace. Top marks. Thanks to Greg, Jim, and the crew.

They explained the variety of options available for our applications, with pros and cons for each choice (including the cost and installation time.)"

"After a bad storm in 2017 we had contractors all over our subdivision looking for work. As a rule if you knock on my door I won't use you. We had 6 door knockers and contacted 5 others. We actually started working with two different contractors first. One didn't have the proper insurance and one came in very expensive. They did get the insurance process started but were not what we wanted. I contacted 3 more contractors. One of them was Professional Home Improvement. Mel came over reviewed what the insurance company had approved and realized that they had missed several items that needed to be included but was left out. He also came up with an estimate right away. It was a good estimate and included several items that the other companies had not so we went with his company. He contacted the insurance company and got the additional items approved. He also had his insurance company send his proof of insurance directly to us instead of just giving us a copy. We had to wait a few weeks for them to start the roof which was fine since it had been almost a year since we started looking for a contractor. I also felt that good contractors are busy so there would be a wait. The old roof was torn off and the new on was installed with ice and water shield in one day. The crew did a great job and even went around the house with a big magnet to pick up any nails that were in the grass or on the deck. A few weeks later they started on the siding and window trim. after removing the siding they installed 3/8's of an inch of insulation and wrapped the house in Tyvek. When installing the siding there were a few issues that came up but since I was there while they were doing the install we were able to solve them right away and continue on. They even pointed out that on the gutters, which had been installed 17 years ago, The nails were starting to pull out of the brackets. So while they were installing the siding I was fixing the loose gutters. The finished product looks great. I've even had neighbors stop by just to tell us that how nice the house and the siding look. I am very happy with the job that was done."

"

I have an apartment building in which the garden unit had previously suffered water leakage.  I had the outside sealed previously, but wanted to get the inside sealed while the apartment was empty.  Chuck came out and offered three different solutions all with various price points.  We agreed to sealing just the inside for now, and if there were future leaks, we would consider the alternate solutions proposed.  In all 6 cracks were discovered.  Chuck had the cracks sealed and each of the tie bars sealed. 

I will be using them again for my other apartment units.

Insulation questions, answered by experts

Yes. Proper, complete insulation will ensure that you trap the most cool or warm air inside your home, preventing high energy bills. In addition, insulation tends to settle and compress, leaving gaps over time; the more you insulate completely during the initial installation, the less you’ll need to do down the line.

The best type of insulation for your home depends on your specific needs, climate, and the area you are insulating. For new construction, structural insulated panels are a highly energy-efficient option that is easy to install during the building process. In very warm climates, reflective insulation can be a cost-effective choice. For cold climates, fiberglass is an excellent option due to its high R-value and resistance to settling over time. Spray foam works well in humid environments because of its moisture-resistant properties. For standard attics, loose-fill, spray foam, or blown-in insulation are all suitable options.

Drywall insulation costs around $1,800, on average, but prices can range from $500 to $4,500, depending on a few different factors. The following things are important considerations to make when pricing out your insulation project:

  • Square footage of insulation

  • Type of insulation 

  • Climate in your area and the insulation R-value required

  • Whether or not your walls are already finished

  • Accessibility of the area 

  • Whether or not you need old insulation removed first

Whether plaster walls should be insulated depends on whether the walls are at particular risk of moisture problems. In many cases, you can insulate plaster walls, while in others, it's a poor decision because of the lack of a vapor barrier. Choose a reputable insulation contractor to help you decide if and how to proceed to increase your home's energy efficiency.

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.
