I had to call back a couple of times because the first time they didn't call back. I understand things can get busy. When Rob did call back we made plans for an estimate. There was no rush given the time of year and I said this to Rob. We made plans for them to come out to do an estimate on Friday 11/14/14 sometime in the afternoon. We never heard from them which was a bit inconvenient because we could have gotten some other things taken care of but I thought that maybe we got our Fridays mixed up and maybe they were supposed to come out the following Friday on 11/21/14 in the afternoon. So I called on Monday 11/17/14 to follow up and see if maybe we did get our Fridays mixed up and make sure we were on for 11/21/14 in the afternoon. I did reach Rob and I asked him if maybe I got my Fridays mixed up because I thought he was supposed to come out this last Friday in the afternoon and we never heard from him. He said something to affect of "I don't know let me check my schedule books and call you back" I said "OK" and waited for him to call back. He never called and I haven't heard from him since. I am taken quite by surprise by how often this happens up around here in this area. I am a nice person and I ask these companies up front if they service our area BEFORE I ask them to come give us an estimate. I just moved here from out of state and I didn't expect it to happen as often as it does. I'm not mean, rude or anything of that nature, some people have even said I'm too nice. If these companies don't want our business or don't want to come do an estimate for one reason or another I really wish they would just be honest, come right out and say it to us. Don't waste our time or yours. We have been trying to get estimates for our roof, wood floors, a fence, insulation, plumbing, and electric and we also got them for the carpet we recently had put in. This has happened more times than I can count with companies not returning calls, not showing up after they made an appointment with us, not getting back to us with an estimate etc from each of these areas. I was telling my husband it must be nice to have so much business and to be making or have so much money that as a company you can just blow off customers. Even if you don't want a customer's business at least try to be somewhat professional about it and follow up.

I had ice dams in the winter on the addition. I had different roofers come out and they all basically said that I needed to rip out the fiberglass insulation and spray foam it and put in blown in. The only problem was it was a A-frame vaulted ceiling and they was no way to get into it because it had wood on the inside. They had to rip off the roof deck and replace it on a 700 square foot addition. That is why it was so expensive. The guy that did the spray foam just got a new machine and it didn't work right. It was a manufacturer's problem so when they sprayed it, it didn't rise right so they had to rip all of that out. These guys had to work twice as hard. They took care of it all and took some money off because there was some cleanup I had to do. It was all under the insurance warranty of the manufacturer. It was great. They went around the house and made sure all the nails and shingles were picked up. they were quick and they did it when I was at work. It is way quieter because before when it rained, it sounded like a tin roof. We'll see how it does this winter. The guy who actually came out was Steve Miller. He explained my options and if I needed an answer, he found it for me to read. He was knowledgeable, courteous and trustworthy. I am happy with it so far. Their price was not the lowest or the highest.

He actually came out again to explain to me everything and show me where the vents would come out. I think he went above and beyond and go over everything.

So he saved me over a grand. That was awesome. Patrick and his crew did a wonderful job and he was a great worker. Very quick. A two day job was now a one day job. NO complaints what so ever about Patrick. I had the inspector come out and he said I needed insulation around the part of the tube that was in the attic. Took about a month in a half but I got it done yesterday by Steve. He was wonderful as well. The issues I had with this company were the "office staff". They were a bit rude and not willing to work with the customer (from the beginning of the process to the end). When I originally scheduled the insulation to be put on I was told a date and a time. When that day came the time came and went. When I called the girl told me she didn't know what happened but they weren't coming. I had to reschedule which was a huge inconvenience for us. Overall the workers are amazing but the people who schedule and work with the customer on the phone are not as pleasant.

They also offered suggestions on additional work that we could do ourselves to prevent future ice dam and drainage issues, which was appreciated and is being acted upon. We opted for a new custom slider from Marvin Windows and the installation was modified to fit the look of our room with a substantial header that matched the style, as well as additional insulation to correct mistakes made by the initial door installers long ago. The siding crew did a great job and I've only found two nails dropped - cleanup was very good. And only one plant in a crowded planting bed showed signs of a footprint, which is considerably better than I had expected. Dave Bahr personally checked on the job often and the installers were not hired just for the job, but were part of the company.We've received lots of compliments from our neighbors on how the new siding has improved the look of our house and are very pleased with the outcome.

We hired Doug for emergency ice removal from roof spring 2014; he responded much more quickly than we expected, his crew was careful, efficient, and clean. We liked his service so much, we had him come back to do a full-house roof insulation with new vents. He didn't solicit this work, we...

For more than 30 years, Houle Insulation Inc., a Minnesota based insulation contractor, has been re-insulating homes in Minnesota just like yours. A better insulated home is more energy efficient, comfortable and quiet. It will save you money on utility bills for years to come. And, by using less energy to heat and cool your home, you reduce the negative impacts on the environment caused by energy use. Houle Insulation Inc. specializes in re-insulating existing homes; sidewalls, attics, bypass sealing and blower door testing in the state of Minnesota. Blowing cellulose insulation into your walls and floors, and sealing attic bypasses can reduce high heating and cooling bills, ice dams and drafty rooms. Some other problems homeowners are faced with are frost, mold and water damage to ceilings. The discomforts of a poorly insulated home are often wrongly blamed on furnace and air conditioning problems when the actual cause is the insulation or installation of the insulation. You could save significantly on your heating and cooling bills by having attic bypasses sealed and insulating your walls and attic to adequate levels.
"Todd is amazing. He came to give me an estimate and found the leaky window in my basement that was causing cold air to be the problem for my kitchen sink/plumbing. He suggested I caulk myself and was so pleasant. It was totally free and they did not need to do anything. I offered to pay him for his time and expertise, he said NO. So great to have a company like this. Believe me, if I ever need some real work done, they are the people I would hire!!"

Insulation questions, answered by experts
The most insulative type of insulation for behind drywall is spray foam insulation, but this is the most expensive insulation available. The most common insulation—sometimes considered the best for the value you get for the money—is fiberglass roll or fiberglass batt insulation, which is significantly more affordable but also far less insulative. The best kind of insulation for your house will also vary based on the climate in your area, your budget, and more. A professional insulation company can help you decide which type is best for your home.
Closed-cell foam may come with a higher price tag, but it’s worth the investment because of its strength and durability. This material offers excellent thermal and moisture resistance, contributing to its long life span. Its construction enhances energy efficiency, which can lead to reduced heating and cooling costs over time.
Yes. You should insulate behind shower walls to help stave off heat loss. In other words, it’ll keep the shower or tub from getting too cold. Nothing ruins bath time like stepping into a freezing cold bathroom. Not insulating and air sealing the walls behind the shower allows heat to escape easily, which opens the area up to the elements.
Mineral wool has an excellent life expectancy of up to 50 years, provided it's kept dry and free of pests. Compared to fiberglass, with a life span of 20 to 30 years, mineral wool stacks up well for long-term cost savings. Sheep wool maintains a similar life span to fiberglass, while estimates for hemp wool insulation life expectancies are all over the board, ranging anywhere from 20 to 100 years.
For a truly DIY solution to protect your outdoor faucets from freezing, you can craft your own faucet sock out of spare rags, plastic shopping bags, and duct tape—but this method might not be as effective (or attractive) as store-bought. If you choose to DIY your own outdoor faucet cover, be aware that rags, old towels, and other fabric you might use to wrap the faucet can absorb water like a sponge and could cause problems if it freezes.
