"I hired Home Seal Insulation to fix exterior insulation. Chad is great to work with! He is fantastic at communicating and very kind! Home Seal Insulation is the only company we will contact going forward for insulation needs!"
"Reichel Insulation team was fantastic to work with, very careful and considerate, on time. The insulation project was completed as we requested. Thank Yoy!"
"The guys did a great job. Covered my garage and all items in it with plastic sheeting . I was impressed how clean it was when they left. Did not expect the level of service I received. Job was 5 Stars ++. Would recommend 3 Polar Bears Solutions LLC of Rosemont, MN of you are looking to upgrade the insulation in your home."
"The owners Mace and PJ are great guys and easy to work with! Got back to me very fast with any questions I needed answered. They also have fair prices. If I ever need spray foam again I will definitely be using them! Very professional!"
"It went very well. A professional company that will go the extra mile for its customer. I am well pleased with their work and would recommend them to all."
"I could not be more impressed with Jesse and his team. They were so responsive, so professional, and so incredibly helpful. Great communication throughout. Great work product. Pricing that was very competative and reasonable. The next time I have an insulation need I won't even both to get bids from other shops. I will just use Century. Highly recomend."
"Started well and I scheduled them well ahead of time although I had to demand the date I wanted; they were scheduling according to the order the deposits came in. A few days before the date the owner called to say it would be split into two days, blown blanket, then the following day the foam application. Not major, but annoying. My time is worth something and given the lead time in scheduling this seems questionable at best. The blown blanket guys were all right but failed to do a couple minor things I think they should have. I'm not an expert on this and I expect the professionals will do a professional job. When the foam team arrived the following day I pointed out the missing items to them and they did take care of it. I had to put a 50% deposit down and offered the remainder to the foam team as they left. They said I'd get a bill in the mail. And now wonder; the bill was 11% higher than the written proposal. The owner - who does the proposals - missed an overhang along a 16' wall which increased the foam cost. I have no objection to the cost, but I do feel blindsided by the way it was presented. The foam team could have warned me and failing that the owner or someone from the firm could have called to advise me about it - and apologize for missing it, perhaps. Based on this experience I'd prefer to do business with a more professional outfit. "
"We've had Home Pro America provide service with several projects. After this last one we agreed to share our experience in this review of their work. We had an issue with ice dams, and had Home Pro out, their recommendations for air sealing, insulation and ventilation were a little more than we were planning to spend. We had another contractor out and for the attic air sealing, they recommended all the existing insulation be removed to seal the attic. We ended up hiring Home Pro and saved more than $1,000. We've since had our roof done and gutter covers installed. We would highly recommend Home Pro America."
"We had a little confusion with setting an initial appt through the Angi app, but the team was very thorough during the inspection and provided two options to solve our moisture problem. The team arrived on time, worked very efficiently and were careful to protect our home from dirt or damage. Very responsive and great to work with. Would recommend choosing A&R."
Garden blankets and frost cloths are the best things to use to protect trees and plants from frost. They are made from polypropylene fabric, which is lightweight, breathable, and dries fast. If you can’t get garden blankets or frost cloths before the freeze, you should use lightweight blankets, sheets, or towels.
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.
Unless your cellulose insulation is wet, moldy, or showing signs of mildew or pests, there’s no need to remove it before adding new insulation on top of it. Inspect your insulation thoroughly before adding the new insulation, and if you’re unsure how to assess the presence of mold or mildew, talk to a mold remediation specialist near you.
Yes, you should insulate your copper pipes to help regulate their temperature. Well-insulated copper pipes will be protected from freezing and can conserve energy by keeping hot water warm for longer. Foam rubber insulation tubes are the best pipe insulation to prevent freezing since they fit tightly around the pipes while still maintaining some flexibility.
If you’re a savvy DIYer around the house, own the basic tools, and have enough time on your hands, you can definitely install fiberglass insulation yourself. Doing the work yourself will certainly keep overall insulation costs down. However, if you’re not confident in your handy skills around the house, call in a professional.
