"Needed a solution for a room above a garage that was hotter than the rest of the upstairs. It was recommended to add insulation to the garage ceiling, air seal the attic, and add additional insulation to the attic. Since then, the room above the garage has been the same temperature as the downstairs. Great work and wonderful solution. Price point came in on average $1000 less than most quotes we received."
"Behr was fantastic! Nick and Dakota were extremely professional and provided a fair quote. They removed the old insulation, installed new insulation in my attic, and sealed all the gaps to help improve my heating efficiency. I have nothing but positive things to say about their work."

"Ralph Bertrand from Home Genius Exteriors came out to thoroughly examine our roof. Ralph showed us many photos & a video of our roof, outside & inside. Ralph took the time to answer any questions we had. He explained the various products used & levels of warranty available. We really appreciated the time Ralph spent explaining everything to us, all without pressure to buy. The day of install arrived & the team was on time & ready to work! One thing we liked was that there was someone there from Home Genius Exteriors during the whole time of install. Richard Bowan, the Install Manager, was there to oversee everything & he did an amazing job. They placed large tarps over all our landscaping & got right to work. Rich kept us updated on progress throughout the day & answered any questions we had. In addition to the new roof, we also had new gutters with leaf guards & downspouts installed. When the work was completed, we walked around the house with Rich. Everything was completely cleaned up; there was nothing left behind or out of place. Our home looks amazing. The new roof, gutters & downspouts really look beautiful. We loved our experience with Home Genius Exteriors, especially working with both Ralph & Rich. They were so professional & knowledgeable. We would recommend them to others & if we needed additional work, we would definitely call Home Genius Exteriors."
"I called GSM inquiring about their HVAC and insulation services. I also asked if I could have someone perform a Manual J load calculation (surprise to me, the Manual J calc was free!) as I felt that my existing heat pump was sized too small for my home (2.5 ton dual-zone single stage heat pump for 2200sq ft 2-story house). We agreed on an appointment time, and they sent Kelly out to my house. Kelly was very nice and professional, and did a thorough job explaining what all could be done and what my options were. Due to having so little room to work inside of the mechanical closest, you would have to remove the air handler completely just to wrap all of the duct work. Since I would be removing the old air handler that was 8 years old anyway, I decided to replace the entire system with a new Amana 3-ton 18 SEER dual-zoned heat pump. Kelly also told me they could seal up the hole & the mechanical closet so that hot air could no longer enter that space as well. I agreed to their quote, and they came out a week later (it would've been sooner but GSM wanted to make sure that the new system was designed properly, so they had to architect and design the layout of the new equipment to fit the small space) to do the work. Owen and Jason came out to perform the installation. They were both very professional & thorough, and they did an excellent job with the swap out & installation of the new heat pump. When GSM told me that it would take two days to do the work, I was prepared to be miserably hot trying to sleep at night with no air conditioning. Not only did GSM bring a portable AC unit for me use that evening so that wouldn't be the case, Owen and Jason actually got the heat pump wired and working the first day so I had full AC that evening, and the portable unit wasn't needed! They also insulated the attic space & mechanical closet with spray foam and foam board so the hot attic air will no longer be an issue. All in all, my experience with GSM has been great! They've been easy to communicate with throughout the entire process, they did an excellent job with the installation of the new equipment, and now I can rest easy knowing that everything has been taken care of!"
Insulating ductwork improves your HVAC system's energy efficiency by protecting the air from external conditions and preventing energy loss as it travels through the ducts. This means your system doesn't have to work as hard to heat or cool your home, leading to lower energy bills and a reduced carbon footprint. Additionally, insulated ducts help maintain a more consistent and stable indoor temperature, enhancing comfort. Proper insulation also improves indoor air quality by reducing the entry of allergens and pollutants and helps prevent problems like condensation and mold formation within the ductwork.
Garage door insulation can last anywhere from 20 to 100 years depending on the type of insulation. Cellulose has the shortest lifespan coming in at between 20 and 30 years, while spray foam, mineral wool, and fiberglass can last between 80 and 100 years with proper maintenance.
Humidity plays a role in how long more susceptible insulation materials—like fiberglass—last. Once fiberglass batts reach the 15-year mark, you'll need to routinely inspect your insulation to ensure that it is in mint order.
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.
Buying a house with vermiculite insulation is not recommended without going through a proper testing process. Vermiculite insulation can potentially contain asbestos, which poses health risks when disturbed. While it is possible to purchase a home with vermiculite insulation, you should have it tested for asbestos, and ensure proper containment if asbestos is present. If asbestos is present, you will want to hire a professional to remove it, ideally before you move in.
Monolithic slabs don’t require insulation, but many homeowners choose to have their contractors install insulation under the slab during construction. This can help improve home efficiency even more and keep indoor temperatures more stable. Slab foundations are more energy-efficient than uninsulated crawl spaces and basements, and insulated slab foundations are more energy-efficient than insulated crawl spaces and basements.
