Customers say: Super punctual

"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."

"Following a MassSave audit, about 6 months ago Hugh's insulated our garage. We were very pleased with their work. When we decided to do additional work and insulate our attic, I called Tom again to arrange for Hugh's to do the work. It went very well. I would definitely recommend them to others."

"I was plagued with recurring ice dams in a few areas of my roof. After investigation, it was discovered that the insulation in a few visible areas was sub-par. Roland came in and quickly spotted the problem areas. He assured me that the could fix these problems immediately. He used a combination of rearranging existing batts, blown-in fiberglass and spray foam to seal the attic space, over the course of two visits. He's extremely personable and always called me back or answered the phone right away."

"This is the second time I have used MA Design and Construction for a project in my house. Both times were great. For the most recent job, they framed up a partially finished basement, added carpet, leveled the ceiling, added a door and electrical outlets and insulated and painted the walls. The finished product looked great. I have found them super easy to work with - they are always very responsive to any questions that I have and they are great about communicating. I plan to have them do additional work for us in the future."

"I called these folks to get a quote on removing vermiculite from an attic. They were pleasant and prompt. They informed me about the Zonolite Attic Insulation Trust which can, provide significant reimbursement for the removal and took and sent in a sample to get tested to see if it qualified for reimbursement. All of this before I even got an estimate. When I asked them about some mold they were gracious enough to suggest I find a firm that could do both and suggested a contractor. In the end I didn't use these folks based on comparison quotes but based on their professionalism, honesty, and knowledge I'd highly recommend them to anybody that needs this kind of work."

"From the very beginning and throughout the process, Leo explained everything that we would need to know about roofing, the product and the process. Leo is professional and meticulous. The job was completed in one day with a crew of men who attended to every detail. Leo was present throughout the day overseeing the work. The clean up was done efficiently and the yard looks great. But most importantly, the roof looks fantastic. A job well done!"

"United did a great job with finishing our basement.  We worked mostly with Junior (the project manager).  He met with us to go over what we were looking for and gave us a quote for 25,000 which was a great price and about the price range we was looking for.  We ended up adding more things we wanted later that were not included in the quote which pushed the price up, but we were always comfortable with the price and there were no hidden costs or anything like that.   We ended up adding a floor instead of painted concrete, we upgraded the electrical work (more lights added, LED lights. baseboard heat), added insulation, re-did the steps going down to the basement and a few other things.  
We ended up spending around 50,000 with all the extras and cost for materials etc. Junior was great with working with us and getting us quotes for any extra things we wanted to add. He was also very responsive.  Any questions or concerns we had he would answer promptly.  It took about 4 months for the entire project to be done, which was longer than we wanted or expected but to be fair we never gave them a hard date to when it needed to be done by.  They started off super fast and got alot done in a short amount of time, but mid way through they started to slow down.  I told Junior about it and they ended the project very fast too.  So as long as your upfront about how quickly you need it done, they will get it done for you.  The actually work was great and the basement looks spectacular.  Any little issues they fixed at the end.  For example, the faucet we installed wasn't flowing properly, I told Junior and he had the plumber come back to fix it (on Columbus day no less!).
We will def use United again in the future if we have any other construction projects."

"I received an emergency call from my tenant that the apartment door would not lock. I checked Angie's list for a local handyman and called JR maintenance for assistance. They were busy with another another job 25 miles away, but went out of their way to diagnose the problem the following evening. Usually I would perform the work, but was out of state on business.

JR was punctual and actually repaired the problem without a service charge. They are now saved to my phone contacts for future work this coming year."

Insulation questions, answered by experts

Cellulose insulation is usually made from recycled paper products, such as old newspapers, but cellulose might also contain recycled denim. While most homeowners traditionally buy cellulose insulation to use for installation, it is possible to make your own at home with old newspapers, cardboard, a paper shredder, and boric acid (important for fireproofing your cellulose insulation materials).

Installing sheets of plywood over attic insulation is a popular choice, especially in storage spaces. That said, insulation works by trapping hot air—so it needs extra space to expand and be effective, or you might reduce the energy efficiency of your home. 

It’s important that you never compress the insulation by installing flooring directly on top of it. In many houses, you’ll need to install a subfloor before putting plywood over insulation in your attic.

Spreading tin foil over your windows works similarly to radiant barrier insulation, but not as well. It will reflect some of the sunlight that would otherwise come through the glass and warm up the inside of your home, so it might help a little to keep your home cool in the summer. However, the appearance isn’t preferable to blinds or drapes that can offer the same benefits. You might also consider tinting your windows instead, which is a more aesthetically pleasing change that can still block a good portion of the solar heat coming through your windows.

The cost to rent an insulation vacuum ranges between $250 and $350 per day. The price will increase if you choose to rent for additional days, but you may get a discounted daily rate if you rent it for a whole week, which could cost up to $1,000. Once you've removed the insulation and are ready to replace it, the cost to rent a blown-in insulation machine ranges between $100 and $500.

Not necessarily. A higher R-value simply means that the insulation has a higher heat resistance and performs better in terms of how much heat passes through the material. This can be better for some homes, or it can be too high of an R-value for other homes. Again, your climate zone determines whether the insulation is better for your home.
