"Very well, these guys are great, they seal everything right and load tons of insulation. My house is now at a R60. And this was not cheap, however I do not expect heating costs to go down for many years to come unless we all go solar."

"As always, we are thrilled with the work done by Hoffman Weber Construction. Love the look of the windows - but also the safety factor. The installers were on time, friendly, and did a super job. We would hire them for any of their services."
"Mark and his crew showed up on time (Friday morning) to perform the work. They initially laid down pads and painters sheets since blowing in cellulose insulation can get quite dusty/messy. They performed the work exactly as described in the bid. Insulating my attic to R60 (up from what it was of R12-15) and filled in all the joists, etc. They even build a wooden platform around an air handler in the attic so it can still be maintained with ease. One of Mark's co-worker spent most of the time in the basement fixing the frozen pipe issue. He applied insulation and sealant in a crawl space near the main water line and reseated an air vent behind the wall, while applying more insulation. He even went to a local hardware store and procured a vent to cover up a hole in the wall we wanted to leave exposed so warm air can flow through (didn't even ask or think to charge me for the vent). The job lasted about 6 hours (which was exactly what Mark quoted). They cleaned up with a shop vac so the house looked very clean when they left. All in all, was very pleased with the professionalism, knowledge and service provided by Mark and his crew. I proudly displayed a sign in my front yard advertising his services to others and would recommend him to family/friends. "
"Great, I could not find anyone willing to do this for us. Mark was running a little behind but had the courtesy to call and let me know that. He worked past 5pm to get the project done for us. Instead of running the cable on the outside of the house like others recommended, he ran the cable up a cold air return to the attic and then over to the bedroom. Along the way, he also gave us useful tips and tricks with the furnace, insulation and took a look at some other work will need in the future. He was clean, professional, friendly and honest."
"Roberto was the technician and he was very professional, polite, and personable. He inspected the rest of our system and told us things that needed to be changed or repaired. He showed me pictures of everything. Everything he told me about was accurate. He quoted me a price for R38 insulation , Some of our ducts were plastic and he recommended them to be changed. I agreed completely and didn't know they were plastic. I would have had them done the work but I had no price comparisons to make and besides I didn't have the money right then. So he just finished the vent cleaning and left his card. He did a great job on the vent cleaning and was happy with the work."
Yes, covering exposed wires is necessary for several important reasons. Exposed electrical wires pose significant risks, such as electrical shocks, fires, short circuits, and potential damage to your home’s electrical system. By properly insulating and protecting the wires, you can minimize the potential for accidents, prevent electrical fires, and ensure your electrical system stays intact.
It depends on your needs and preferences, though many homeowners think it is worth it. Not only is blown-in insulation easy to install, but it is highly efficient with thermal regulation. Most types are mold-resistant, flame-resistant, insect-resistant, and, most importantly, completely safe.
You won’t find anything inside a cupola on a house because it’s hollow (think of an upside-down cup), allowing air to ventilate out of a roof via vents and light to come in via windows. They also usually have a base, vents around the middle (usually louvers), and a pointed cap at the top.
Unfortunately, pipes can freeze when exposed to prolonged freezing temperatures, whether or not you have installed insulation covers. Insulation covers, however, are still an excellent idea as they can reduce the chance of your pipe freezing by keeping the pipes closer to the temperature of the water inside the pipe.
Insulating your basement walls offers numerous advantages that make the project well worth it. By adding insulation, you can reduce the chances of moisture damage to the house's structure and lower the odds of mold growth.
