This company did very careful and professional work.  As I said, it's a huge job.  They draped the rooms with plastic sheeting so that we wouldn't have too much plaster dust everywhere (some always escapes, but it was minor).  They patched all the holes that they made. My recollection is that they did the job in 2 - 3 days.  (I'm writing this review several years later).
One issue we ran into, which was not their problem, but you should consider it, is that when they started spraying in the foam, we discovered that we needed tuckpointing done, as the foam started oozing out like toothpaste in a few spots on the outside.

I had three different people groups in who came in and gave me an estimate and what might be needed and what they discovered is that for some reason when the house was built 16 years ago, they did not really do adequate insulation.  I did feel very comfortable with Precise & Snug.  They were good about being able to show me pictures.  They showed how it looks up on the attic.  When you are in the process, the told us that they can do this and that and it would cost so much and the final bill was $20,000.  I would not use their service in the future.

Knowledgeable, polite, professional, easy to work with Shane is polite, efficient, and knowledgeable about the different types of insulation products, and their applications. Steven and Shane, a father and son team, provided an accurate estimate of cost and installation time. They explained the variety of options available for our applications, with pros and cons for each choice (including the cost and installation time.)

Everyone should know that a home insulation job is fraught with potential pitfalls, from mess to confusion to finding surprises behind walls. I was on the site during the whole job, and was impressed by the work and the crew. They took care of the house top to bottom, consulting with me all the way and encouraging inspection of the work as we went along. They cover the whole inside of your house with thick plastic, so it is like living in a cocoon during the process...but the good result is that when they peel the covering away, your house looks pretty much as it did before...maybe a minor "ding" here or there, but with all the ladders and equipment, this is not surprising. They arrived on time or early every day. One of the best parts of their process is an on-site older crew head who knows the business inside and out and is YOUR contact....he not only supervises the workers, but you can go to him at any time with questions or for explanations. These are nice people to have on your property in such an intimate way....as a woman alone, I really appreciated that. Also, they communicate at all times thru their cellphones and headphones, so guys in the attics know what is going on with the rest of the house. The workers are of fine character, at least those on our job.

Steve Saunders and his crew were very professional, punctual, and careful in the work they did. Steve came out promptly to give an estimate. He was very thorough in examining the house and took extensive measurements to determine the amount of material and labor needed. This type of insulation is not inexpensive, but after the research I had done, I was persuaded it was the way to go, and Steve's professionalism helped convince me. When they came to do the work, a large crew put up plastic sheeting and drop cloths to protect the rest of the house. All of the workers were polite and careful. The work involves drilling holes in every stud cavity, so there was a lot of dust. They cleaned up afterwards very well. There were a few stray drips of the foam material that were missed, but overall I was very impressed. Precise and Snug rough patches the holes, but you have to be prepared to replaster and paint separately.

Steve was on time for estimates and work. His crew was very polite and neat and took the time to answer all of questions and explain to me what was being done and why. Overall a very good experience and I would certainly hire them for work again.

Steve was very prompt and helpful from the beginning. His crew was professional and cautious. The price was higher than I had hoped, but after seeing the process and the results, I understand why. The mess left behind from the foam was a bit more than I had expected and we had some problems when the foam came in contact with the electrical.

VERY RELIABLE, PLEASANT CREW. ALSO GOOD WITH FOLLOW UP, SOME QUESTIONS CAME UP AFTER THE JOB WAS ALREADY COMPLETED AND PAID FOR, THE ROOFERS HAD SOME QUESTIONS. ALSO THEN A VERY PROMPT SERVICE WAS PROVIDED. PRICE WAS HIGHER THAN OTHER COMPANIES, BUT IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT THE COMPANY HAD MORE EXPERIENCE AND USED BETTER MATERIAL. WHEN I SAW WHAT TOOLS AND EFFORT IT TAKES TO DO THE INSULATION, THE PRICE WAS JUSTIFIED.

I THOUGHT THEY DID EXCELLENT WORK, BUT THEIR PROFESSIONALISM COULD HAVE BEEN A LITTLE BETTER.
