This company was started in 2016 when I bought a rig to spray foam my own house with the plan to sell it after my house was done, but there was a need in the area for that service so it grew into a full time job. As we grew we worked at created relationships with the community & contractors. In 2018 we added fiberglass to our offerings and became a full service insulation company. By fall of 2018 we added 2 more employees, which allowed us to keep both spray foam and fiberglass! With our business continuing to grow & the shift in the marketplace towards spray foam, we have added a second rig to our operations! We are proud of our team of 5 & value our customers by making sure we meet their spray foam or fiberglass insulation needs

Our story begins in a garage with 2 employees (Kevin and Yvonne Kinzler). Kevin worked hanging drywall in between 24 hour shifts as a full time fireman. One day in 1988 a customer calls with a huge problem. With hogs en route and the Iowa winter coming fast, the customer’s insulation contractor stood him up. He called Kevin for a solution. First, Kevin agreed to do everything he possibly could to solve the customer’s problem. Next, he employed every friend, coworker, and family member possible (including 8 year old son Tanner) and Kinzler was in the insulation business. To outsiders it may look like Kinzler has expertly grown its business to move into expanding insulation markets over the last 30 years. Insiders know each growth opportunity came from solving a problem for an existing customer. Today, we solve commercial, agricultural, contractor, business and homeowner problems. We have added a few employees and locations, but our customer-focused problem solving and service remains the same.

Insulation questions, answered by experts

High humidity, bad insulation, warmth from sunlight, and poor circulation are all reasons your home’s hotter inside than out. While this is what you want in the colder months, summer can become unbearable if this is a constant. Try to find the cause, but you need to remember that issues like this require a permanent fix (unless you want to bear down during the summer months).

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.

Natural fiber batts and spray foam insulation both work great for soundproofing. Newer materials, such as hemp batts, are more expensive but more effective for insulation and sound blocking. They are also more sustainable. There is also a professional system called Blow-In Blanket Insulation (BIBS) that is soundproof and moisture-resistant. However, BIBS must be installed professionally and can be a costly investment.

Costs depend on the type of insulation, area to be covered, and labor, generally ranging from $1 to $4 per square foot.

It's essential to use insulation materials specifically designed for air ducts. Common types of duct insulation materials include fiberglass, foam board, and reflective foil. These insulation materials have the right properties to withstand the temperature and airflow conditions within the ductwork. Using the appropriate insulation not only ensures efficient temperature control but also prevents potential safety hazards or the release of harmful particles into the air.
