"We had them come out to give me a price on adding more insulation to 2 sides of our house. And to put new guttering on the 2nd floor . While here they talked us into insulating the attic too. We agreed the attic would be a good job for the guys to do in the winter. We signed papers and gave them a $2500.00 dollar check for the down payment . The salesman Josh said he be in touch with us the next week to see when they could do it. Josh had come out on sat October 7th. Well I tried to send photos of our house to Josh 2 times . So after a week & half I called the office. And ask did he work there?She said yes she would have him call . But no call . So I called office and she gave me there email and I sent pictures to her. I had.questions on the photos, and asked them to call . Ii called in again to see if anything was being done, and secretary said the boss said they were working on a schedule and someone would call me. At this point we are 3 weeks out from our signing and cant get a call from anyone. We are at this point not happy, and figure our $2500.00 is gone. So my daughter called to see if there was a process to get our money back. And I got my 1st. Phone call . 1 day from being 4 weeks of signing. And this guy as nice as he was said we probably won't get it back because we signed a contract. . I have delt with other companies , and any time I sign a contract ( that big ) some always calls to go over it , or to ask if you have questions. But now I don't want them, I'm just going to get someone else .if I can get my money back. If they can't return my calls, why should I think there going to do what I want them to do?.?"

"Everything was fine until I got the final bill. The estimate they gave was different and the final bill was different. They had put extra charges. When I called them about it, they didn't back down. They also said that because of the extra insulation they used they did they couldn't reduce the cost. Other than that, the job was done fine. At one point, the insulation had blown in, they had a little problem, but that was worked out."

"Neil did the job fantastically and explained what he was doing throughout, always asked for an inspection to make sure it was done to my satisfaction. Pricing was extremely fair and he was timely and quick. Would highly recommend for any insulation work you need done. Can’t speak on the other work he does, but if it’s on par with what he did for me, then you’d be doing well."

Insulation questions, answered by experts

Using plastic shrink film over the window will cut down on drafts, which makes the air inside your home feel warmer. Plastic shrink film doesn’t quite have the insulative properties of a new window or of adding insulation inside the window jamb, but it will help. Plus, it’s a cost-effective solution to keeping your home warmer.

One of the clearest signs that your insulation isn’t working as well as it should be is a noticeable difference in temperature throughout your home. One room might feel icy while another is hot as Arizona—this indicates that some parts of your home are either retaining or losing heat more than others. Additionally, a sudden increase in your energy bills, evidence of pests or rodents, or evident water damage are other signals that warrant a thorough inspection of your insulation and potential replacement.

One of the disadvantages of soffit vents is they can bleed warm air from the attic during winter, resulting in slightly higher energy bills and a colder house. There are ways to mitigate this effect—mostly just closing the vent in the fall. What’s most important is your attic is ventilated to some degree in the winter.

Insulating a stone house is an expensive and involved process because it requires building a double-walled house. The walls don’t need to be the same thickness, but they both need to be thick enough to handle any structural demands and meet fire and safety standards. The insulation (usually foam or fiberglass) is then installed between the two stone walls.

Open-cell foam insulation has a life span ranging between 15 to 25 years when well cared for. However, the material may degrade sooner in areas with high humidity or after prolonged water exposure. Proper installation and maintenance can maximize its longevity but requires close monitoring. Closed-cell foam insulation has a longer life span of 30 to 50 years.
