"I would highly recommend John P. Insulation. I got three quotes for my insulation job and they were the most professional during the estimate. They provided pictures of what they were going to do. They fully explained the job and what I should expect. The quote was fast and equal or lass than the others. On the installation day, they arrived when they said they would, covered my floors and completed the work exactly as they said they would. I had them foam seal, blow in insulation, install soffit vents and vent a bathroom fan. You will not be disappointed in the quality."

"The team from McLaughlin Weatherization, who completed the work from my Mass Save Program energy audit to install insulation in my attic was AWESOME! They were a team of 3, who ensured the job got done efficiently and well. Professional, courteous and personable! I was very pleased with how they entered my home, treated my home and me while in it and when they left they even brushed up the very last of any dirt they might have brought in. I cannot rave enough about how great the experience was because I was able to work downstairs and stay out of their way but they definitely went above and beyond in my opinion! I didn't know the front door would get a package of weather stripping too. So while that was nice, the guy in charge of the team of 3 not only removed the old to install the new, the front door closes properly now! I cannot thank you enough for this small act of kindness (even if it was fixed with the new trim) because I had been so worried about my kitties getting out one day because the latch would not catch to keep the door closed. Also, the senior member leading the team demonstrated his years of experience and knowledge and explained everything to me and answered all my questions. I highly recommend this company as a partner for Mass Save and I would personally pay them for any future work needed if not covered by Mass Save."

"Coleman did a wonderful job on our remodel. They did spray foam on the roof of the entire house and installed bats to insulate the walls of our demo'd side. They also had to remove old bats in half of the attic. They were very clean in the disposal of the old insulation and clean up of the overall job when they were done. Communication was great from the start...Shant was very communicative from the initial estimate through to the completion of the job. They were very competitively priced I'd recommend to anyone looking for an insulation contractor."

"When I was looking to get estimates for the job, Kennedy was the first to call me back, and came out right away to price it out. He advised on fire blocking to meet code, which no other companies even mentioned. His crew showed up on time and demonstrated amazing attention to detail. They also kept the space very clean and the foam did not have an offensive odor. I’ve had foam jobs done on multiple occasions in the past and this was the best job I’ve ever seen. It’s the kind of work you don’t see much these days. Humidity in the basement is now less than 50%. Applied 3 inches of closed cell foam to the walls and open cell to the rim joist. Definitely do not hesitate to hire this company."
All 2x6 walls insulated with open cell its installed 4MIL vapor barrier over the foam. Code required almost the town’s.

"We had a new cedar fence installed around our yard. So impressed with the quality of the work and how fast the job was done. Wladimir was very professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. He even came back the next day to fix a couple pickets he was not 100% happy with. Hard working and thorough team. Will definitely recommend them and call them again in the future."

Insulation questions, answered by experts

Adding insulation to ceilings is an excellent way to increase the energy efficiency of your home. If your home's layout is such that you need insulation in the ceilings rather than in the roof, it's likely that at least some insulation already exists in the space. However, each additional inch of insulation you can add boosts the R-value by between 2.2 and 4.2.

You should not put fiberglass insulation in basements, since fiberglass is known to trap mold and mold is more commonly grown and produced in basements. You should also avoid placing insulation near water heaters, oil burners, or other hot appliances. For more information about the best and worst places to install insulation, consider hiring an insulation professional.

The most affordable way to insulate behind unfinished walls is to install fiberglass batts or rolls. These total around $0.75 per linear foot, with the width matching the gaps between standard studs perfectly. However, it’s important to consider the R-value of your insulation and the climate in your area, as fiberglass insulation isn’t the best in terms of preventing heat transfer. Plus, the most affordable option may cost more on electricity bills over time. The most affordable way to insulate behind finished walls is to leave them up and use blown-in insulation to avoid drywall replacement.

While there are many different kinds of insulation, spray foam, blown-in, foam board, and batt and roll are the four types you’re most likely to see. That doesn’t mean they’re alike, though. Each one varies drastically in terms of cost, materials used, and how they’re installed—not to mention, how well they limit heat transfer.

Radiant barriers and insulation serve different purposes, so one is not inherently better than the other. Radiant barriers reflect radiant heat, helping keep spaces cool, especially in hot climates, while insulation slows heat transfer through conduction. For optimal energy efficiency, it’s best to use both together. 

Radiant barriers can enhance the performance of insulation by preventing heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter. The choice between them depends on specific climate conditions and the building’s design requirements.
