"Person who visited was very polite and noted that what I purchased was likely not something that would meet my expectations. I wanted an energy audit, how my systems could be improved in home, lighting, heating, insulation and air conditioners. What I got was a list of things they could work on and the price to do that work. The work list in no way was considered an energy audit, rather it was a punch list of things I could do based on their visual inspection. I did not have a comparison of work and benefit/savings calculation. There was no checklist of inefficiencies and how that translated into energy losses. For example, multiple hi hat lights in house, they spoke about boxing and insulating a few, less than 10, when I have almost 90 in house. Overall I was disappointed, the tech who came said the offering needed to be better presented prior to start of work."
"We had a horrendous situation with a basement floor installation that went wrong leaving our house full of fumes, and a week later we discovered our basement was contaminated by asbestos in the process. When we called Bill and Contractors Unlimited, they were extremely responsive. Although other companies gave us bids, Bill was able to work his schedule to fit us in weeks sooner than the others. Although the cost was a bit more, that saved us money because we were displaced and could not even go into our house because of the fumes. CU set up negative air machines to replace the air, they followed asbestos abatement laws, they cleaned every item that could be salvaged in our house. They even saved more than we thought which really reduced our overall expense. Bill and his team were extremely professional, friendly, helpful, and really went out of their way to ease our stress from this situation. At the end of their process, Bill arranged for a air quality inspection which we happily passed - able to return home. I would gladly recommend Contractors Unlimited for asbestos abatement. I just wish we had called them before the floor guys created such a disaster. Thank you Bill! "
"They were great. I did not use them because someone that lives near me was a roofer, which I didn't know at the time of purchase, and they beat this companies price. Otherwise, I would not have hesitated to use this company. "
"It cost us about $12,000 but then we got a refund and tax rebate. I think on the whole it was a positive experience. We had to have them come back and redo the basement because they hired some people who never knew what they were doing. They covered some things which shouldn’t have been covered and so that was pretty bad. They came and looked at it and the guy who was in charge of the insulation came and said that it was not going to stand and the best guy they had came out and tore out the bad stuff and completely redid a third of the basement to our satisfaction. They did a good job ultimately but it was just a drag and I had to call and tell them it was not right. I went with another company who arranged for these guys to come out and so I didn’t price shop. We are very happy with an insulated house. It is a lot quieter and it was definitely worth doing. The big ticket was that we decided to inject foam into the walls. We have an old balloon frame house and we paid $7500 for that and you could do it for less money but we chose an expensive one. Once they came back and fixed it the quality was good and I was happy with it. We wouldn’t use them again because we did call them to do a ventilation job and they wanted $3000 to do ventilation up there and we were kind of concerned that they never mentioned it when they were doing the insulation. I feel that if I weren’t there to watch out and see what they were doing they would have left the basement in the way I didn’t like it. I had to call them and tell them that I didn’t like and it was not appropriate and then they came right over and fixed it. I feel that was not my job. I felt that my job was to hire somebody and their job was to do it right. "

Yes, you need a 1.5-inch to 2-inch air gap in a cathedral ceiling to allow proper air flow and prevent cathedral ceiling venting problems. This amount of airspace allows warm, moist air to properly leave your ceiling to avoid moisture build-up and other issues that put your home at risk. You can also add an air vent for extra air flow.
For a DIY solution to protect an outdoor faucet from freezing, you can craft a cover using spare rags, a durable plastic bag, and duct tape. However, be aware that this method may not be as effective as a store-bought cover. Fabric like rags or old towels can absorb water, which could freeze and cause problems. While a DIY cover can work as a temporary stopgap, a proper outdoor faucet cover is inexpensive (often $5 or less), easy to install, and readily available, making it the recommended long-term solution.
Bubble wrap is better for moving since it can be cut to size, whereas dish foam comes in precut sheets that are harder to manipulate. However, if you’re packing items like dishes, wine glasses, picture frames, or mirrors, dish foam will protect them better. Ensure you measure your box beforehand so you know what size dish foam to purchase.
If you’re moving wires, installing new wires, or installing new fixtures in the space you’re insulating, then you will need to hire a licensed electrician to do that portion of the job for you. However, if you just intend on replacing old insulation or adding new insulation over existing insulation, then you don’t need to hire one. Your insulation installer will work around wiring, fixtures, outlets, and switches, even if they’re installing fiberglass batts in the voids where wires run. However, you will need an electrician if you suspect a problem with your wiring during the insulation work.
While a few icicles on your roof are standard, a large accumulation can be a sign of a bigger problem, such as poor insulation. This is particularly true if you are also dealing with ice dams. If you have numerous large icicles, it is recommended to have a roofing contractor diagnose potential insulation issues and create a plan to solve them.
