Ransom installed a deer fence around my garden, and it's exactly what I wanted and need. Pleased with the work, as well as the timing, as I've got my garden protected early enough to harvest before the deer do!

RBA has wonderful installers - very professional, courteous and efficient. In addition, they left our home spotless. We had several windows installed and our home is now soundproof to outside traffic and is warmer this winter. The view outside is much clearer as well. We highly recommend RBA.

During the recent heatwave, we had no cool air. We left a voicemail with Adam and within 24 hours, we had cool air. He also repaired a few problems that have been present since installation. Adam is very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. We would highly recommend him to anyone.

He did a new install at my new construction home 3 1/2 years ago. He did the full design, he did a great job of variety and listened to what I wanted including for patio layout. If there were any issues with plants he replaced them.

Doorbell Installation questions, answered by experts

Three signs that you need crawl space insulation are drafts, high energy bills, and mold. Drafts can start in crawl spaces and cause hot or cold air to spread to the rest of your home through holes in the floors and walls. And even if your entire home is well-insulated, you can still feel an unchecked draft from your crawl space and in your utility bill. Uninsulated crawl spaces can let in air and moisture, and because they’re built directly on the ground and difficult to dry out, they are hotspots for mold and mildew.

Unfaced wall insulation is easier to cut and install, making it the better choice for a DIY project. It’s also more affordable. But if it’s unfaced, you’ll likely need to add a vapor barrier to reach your desired R-value and efficiency, as it doesn’t offer any moisture barrier.

Faced insulation uses paper or foil to create a built-in barrier and doesn’t require an extra step. It’s also more fire-resistant and safe. But it’s quite a bit more expensive and a little bit harder to work with as a DIYer.

Yes, professionals can add extra insulation or backing for enhanced sound control.

Yes, usually you will need some kind of vapor barrier on the exterior walls when the framing is attached to concrete and masonry surfaces.

R-30 insulation is better for higher thermal resistance, but whether it’s "better" depends on the application. R-30 is much thicker and suited for areas like attics or floors in cold climates, where more insulation is required. R-13, on the other hand, is thinner and works well for 2x4 walls or milder climates where less insulation is sufficient. Choosing between R-13 and R-30 depends on the area being insulated and the climate. For example, R-30 provides more insulation but may not fit everywhere in your home.
