"The pricing was very reasonable. I had my attic insulated. The blown in insulation took less than an hour. They were very friendly. I would use this company again for future work."
"Reichel Insulation team was fantastic to work with, very careful and considerate, on time. The insulation project was completed as we requested. Thank Yoy!"
"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 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."
"Ryan did our estimate, and was very efficient. Andrew and Evan did the insultation work and did a fantastic job! It was a large area to get prepped and then to insulate and they did a great job every step of the way! Our entire home is now at a R50+ insulation level, as opposed to the R25-30 and 0 values we had before. It will be interesting to see what sort of impact the newly insulated garage and 3 season porch has on the comfort level in the main house. The team did a great job for us and I would recommend them to anyone considering insulation!"
"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."
Yes, you can install insulation behind drywall yourself, but only if your walls are not finished. If your studs are exposed, installing fiberglass insulation in roll or batt form is very straightforward and just requires a few tools and some safety equipment. If your walls are already finished and you’re looking to add insulation, it’s better to hire a professional, as you’ll likely need blown-in insulation, which can be dangerous to work with and a challenge to get into the proper areas in your wall voids.
There are many ways to keep your house cool without central air. In fact, ductless mini-split AC systems are a solid alternative to central AC for situations when you can’t install ducts in your home. If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly cooling solution, consider using window AC units or portable air conditioners.
Fiberglass is the best insulation for HVAC ducting because it's inexpensive, widely available, versatile, and long-lasting. Fiberglass also offers acoustic insulation in addition to thermal insulation, which can contribute to a more peaceful home environment. You can use other materials like mineral wool, but fiberglass is the industry standard.
The most affordable way to insulate a garage involves choosing cost-effective materials like fiberglass, which comes in batts or rolls and is relatively easy to install. You can often install this type of insulation without needing to add drywall, which helps reduce costs. While a DIY approach might seem cheapest, hiring a professional installer can be highly cost-effective. Experts can accurately determine your garage's specific insulation needs and ensure the best results for your investment, often using batt insulation for the bulk of the project.
Installing sheets of plywood over attic insulation is a popular choice, especially in storage spaces. That said, insulation works by trapping hot air—so it needs extra space to expand and be effective, or you might reduce the energy efficiency of your home.
It’s important that you never compress the insulation by installing flooring directly on top of it. In many houses, you’ll need to install a subfloor before putting plywood over insulation in your attic.
