"I originally reached out to Eagle regarding insulation under my house. We discussed that job and then we discussed attic insulation, which I knew to be a problem, and they were able to complete both jobs at the same time. Dustin is very knowledgeable and able to offer solutions on the spot. All of the people that I have come into contact with, from Dustin and Justin to the workers involved and the salesman and office staff, were pleasant, courteous, and professional. The work was done well and at what I believe was a very fair price."

"Dustin answered the phone quickly. He was very responsive about understanding the problem and offering solutions for it. He is very knowledgeable about insulation, sealing spaces and A/C ducts. He was able to advise while considering budget constraints. His crew was fast, accurate and clean. I would hire him again."
"Mr Dustin and his crew was very knowledgeable about the blown-in insulation we were extremely satisfied with the work that was done would recommend to anyone who needs insulation"
"They were unable to do the actual insulation work I needed but did use them to add additional insulation in the attic- they did a good job on that. I based my rating on that work even though they had assured me that they could do the original work after phone conversations and photos."
"I contacted Florida Parish Foam to come and give me a quote to spray my roof and shop, I have been shopping around for a contractors to do the work, Ronnie came out the next day took and look and gave me a price that was alot lower than all the other contractors. It was 3 days he was set up and spraying my house! The finish product was slick as glass! I highly recommend Florida Parish Foam for all your insulation needs!!!"
Periodic checks for moisture or pest issues ensure consistent performance.
Whether you should remove old insulation before blowing in new insulation depends on your particular situation. Fiberglass insulation attracts insects and mold over time, so if it has been decades since your last insulation upgrade, consider removing the old materials before placing the new ones. However, most types resist mold, insects, and mildew, so once you get the go-ahead from your contractor that your space is free from all three, feel free to install the new insulation directly on top of the pre-existing materials.
You do not always need to remove old insulation before adding new. If the existing insulation is in good condition—not wet, physically damaged, moldy, or infested with pests—you can add new insulation directly on top of it for a compounding effect. You can also mix different types, such as adding blown-in insulation around existing fiberglass batts.
However, removal is recommended if the old insulation is compromised by water damage or pests. You should also remove it if you plan to install a different type of insulation, like switching from roll or batt insulation to spray foam. If the existing insulation is very old or damaged, you will likely get more benefit from removing it and starting fresh.
Opting for insulated ducts can lead to significant long-term savings on your energy bills and contribute to a more efficient HVAC system. The precise amount you can save depends on various factors, including your climate, usage patterns, and the insulation's quality. However, on average, insulated ducts can result in savings of up to 20% on your annual heating and cooling costs, according to ENERGY STAR®.
Sometimes you may be able to leave the bags with your regular trash. However, that’s not always the case. Call your local waste management prior to starting the removal and ask about the proper ways to recycle or dispose of removed insulation. In many cases, your town or municipality has a designated dumpster for building waste.
