"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!"
"Ryan, Miguel, Luis and staff did a great job removing old insulation, inspect, clean & disinfect, spray foam, and blow in new insulation. They were efficient, kept me informed, cleaned up well, and addressed minor issues after the completion was complete. I had planned to also spray foam the basement, but we could not vacate the house (fumes) with a member in hospice. This will be done as soon as we are able. Highly recommended!"
"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."
"A & R Insulation just took care of insulating my attic, including installing air chutes, etc. They were communicative, on time, professional and cleaned everything up after completing the job. I highly recommend this company!"
The thickness of floor insulation will depend on the R-value you plan to achieve. R-value varies on the type of material as well as its thickness and density. Insulation materials with low R-values can be layered to match the value of denser materials. As long as your floor insulation is packed tightly, seals the area from drafts, and doesn’t prevent ventilation, it can be as thick (or thin) as you need.
Depending on the item, several different materials are beneficial for long-term storage. Bubble wrap and plastic wrap help ensure delicate ceramics or furniture are safe and secure. High-quality moving boxes made of durable materials like plastic also help ensure the longevity of your storage, as cardboard will degrade faster over time.
Water heater blanket prices range from $20 to $40 on average, though you typically won’t need to spend more than $30 for all the tools and materials required for installation—which include the blanket itself, heavy-duty scissors, and electrical tape. Blankets with higher R-values will also be slightly higher in price.
If you feel your energy bills are too high or your HVAC system is working harder than necessary to maintain the correct temperature in your home, you may have an under-insulated home. If you’re unsure, consider having your system’s efficiency assessed by a local independent energy auditor.
While insulation is required for all exterior walls in a house, it is not typically required for interior walls. Local and state building codes mandate that new construction homes have adequate insulation in exterior walls and ceilings to suit the local climate.
However, there are several benefits to adding insulation to interior walls. It is excellent for sound-dampening between rooms and can help with temperature control by maintaining a regulated temperature in specific rooms and lowering heat transfer between adjacent areas. Insulating interior walls can also contribute to the overall energy efficiency of your home.
