"Contacted Sunlight Contractors about removing fiberglass insulation underneath my house and installing foam insulation. Ira answered his phone after business hours from home and gave me information. The crew showed up promptly to remove the insulation on Monday and returned on Tuesday to install the foam insulation. Crews were very polite and professional. All work was completed promised and area left clean. Will you again for insulation of our attic."
"Charles and Sandy were very nice and professional.They came out to give me an estimate on Monday and were able to insulate my attic on Saturday.They cleaned up after the job was done.Would highly recommend them to family and friends!"
"AJ and Aaron were very professional and thorough. They arrived on scheduled time. They observed Covid protection practices by wearing masks. They showed us each duct and vent, if it had evidence of mold. They videoed and shot photos of each vent, after cleaning them. They cleaned up afterwards. Very courteous and nice. We highly recommend them and will use their services again."
"AA arrived when promised, their price was much better than the other two bids, and the house is much cooler than before. After a hurricane knocked down two big trees that shaded my house we needed to upgrade the insulation. AA is experienced, completed the job on time, and made us much more comfortable."

"I bought a double to renovate. David was fantastic. Professional, courteous and did great work. He demoed the old plaster, and came back to insulate the walls after the rewiring and plumbing repairs were done. Did an amazing job, in a timely fashion. I couldn't be any happier, and I highly recommend him to anyone for all of their demolition and insulation needs."
"It was so easy. The workers took out the old insulation on Saturday, and clean up/haul away of old insulation was excellent. Sunday morning the foam insulation was installed. It took about five hours. Again, everything was cleaned up. Very pleased with the quality of the work, character of the workers, as well as the owner. Would highly recommend."
The amount and type of insulation your home needs depends on your location, climate, and the specific installation area (attic, walls, or floors). Your local building code will typically determine the minimum required R-value. For specific recommendations, Energy Star suggests the following R-values: homes in the Southern U.S. should have R30 to R60 in attics and R13 to R25 in floors and walls; homes in moderate climates need R38 to R60 in attics and R25 to R30 in floors and walls; and homes in northern states require R49 to R60 in attics and R25 to R30 in floors and walls.
A vapor barrier can last over 20 years, but they are vulnerable to pests, flooding, and other natural disasters. If your home weathers a storm or is treated for any pest infestation, make sure to have a drywall pro come check the integrity of your vapor barrier. It’s also important to have a pro install a vapor barrier since improper installation can lead to tears or leaks in the barrier that shorten its lifespan.
You don’t need to staple insulation, as your drywall and studs will hold it into place. But if you already have a staple gun and staples lying around, it can help keep the product in place and avoid any shifting. But, most experts agree it’s an unnecessary step.
If you’re adding a vapor barrier, you will need to staple that in place.
R-value stands for resistance value and is a number assigned to insulation that states how good the insulation is at heat transference (insulation). The R-value of injection foam is around 4 which homeowners will be happy to know is actually quite good. Another benefit of injection foam versus fiberglass foam is that the colder it gets, the more injection foam retains its resistance properties, whereas fiberglass tends to lose its efficiency in colder temperatures.
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.
