I really appreciated how thorough Cody was with everything. He inspected the attic and explained the quality of their products with a clear warranty. I'm looking forward to my new roof being installed!

Got the job down in a timely fashion. Paid in full. Can't get them back to fix problems that came up shortly after install. Won't accept calls or return calls. Product is good but service is not. After spending over $40,000 one would expect prompt service on what should be a warranty...

Called as promised in advance of installation, and arrived earlier by agreement with us. Did a thorough job, and cleaned up well afterwards. Even tested our dishwasher to ensure that it still worked well after having to disconnect during the installation of our new garbage disposal.

Doorbell Installation questions, answered by experts

If you need to insulate behind finished walls, the best option will likely be to have an insulation professional install blown-in insulation. The installation requires small holes cut in your wall, after which the installer can blow loose-fill insulation into the void. After the installation, you’ll have minor drywall patching, which shouldn’t cost more than $100. Compared to ripping down the existing drywall, using a different type of insulation, and replacing and finishing the drywall, this should save you hundreds or even thousands, depending on the size of the room you’re insulating.

If you’re using faced insulation with paper, face the paper toward the inside of the room during the installation process.

A good way to remember this is that the paper should face the “warm side” as it’s the vapor barrier, meaning it should face toward where the heat will be coming from.

Heat lost through uninsulated basement walls can account for up to 30% of the total energy lost through heat transfer to the outdoors. While homes in mild climates won't gain as much benefit from having an insulated basement as those in cold climates, the effects are still noticeable on your energy bill.

The cost to install a radiant barrier ranges from $700 to $2,800, depending on the size of your roof and the type you choose. Most people pay an average of $1,700 to install a radiant barrier. Foil options, both single- and double-sided, cost between $0.10 and $0.90 per square foot, while spray-on options start at $0.60 and go all the way up to $1 per square foot—which can add up quickly.

Acoustic foam, fiberglass insulation, soundproof curtains, and specialized drywall are effective in reducing noise transmission.
