"If you need insulation, this is the group to hire. They did a great job in a very timely manner, cleaned better than it was when they arrived and was so professional. I would and have recommended M.D. Insulation to family and friends. You will be very pleased with their work and the men. Thank you M.D.Insulation for a great job."
"Very Professional job. Adding insulation to the walls of our home has dropped our energy bills. Would absolutely tell somebody else to have this done especially if you have an older home."
"Everything went according to plan. Crawlspace insulation was replaced and closed space was sealed up. A air inducer was also installed. The environment is totally different down there now and is much closer to the temperature of the house. I kept my vapor barrier the same."
"Insulation Commandos insulated my garage drywall, and I had a great experience working with them. Tony was especially helpful in explaining the available options and recommending the solution that best fit my garage and specific needs. He was knowledgeable, professional, and even managed to fit me into his schedule on short notice, which I greatly appreciated."
"I contacted 6 other contractors to foam insulate a home addition that I am building. One gave me a price and then later told me he couldn't do it and gave my name to another contractor I had not interviewed and this contractor wanted to charge more. Another sent out a man who knew nothing about insulation and this rep told me only that he used to install pools had no tapes, etc.. James Ivey came out and it was clear that he knew his business. He measured up the work, gave me a fair price and completed the work and provided the data sheets for inspection. Work was done professionally, on time and no problem with inspection. After dealing with many other contractors, I can save you some time. Hire James and his company. He knows what he is doing. Passed inspection and MY inspection in a breeze."
"Jimmie was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Of the estimates and recommendations I received for mold remediation in my crawlspace, I thought Jimmie's approach seemed the most logical and thorough. Pricing was fair, and the service was prompt with regular communication from him and his team about progress and next steps. He even performed an extra preventative measure that wasn't included in the estimate. I highly recommend this company."
"From the initial visit with the salesman to the production coordinators to the project managers to the boots on the ground (or roof) my experience with Home Genius Exteriors has been amazing! Tony, the Project Manager, is incredibly knowledgeable and personable. He took the time to walk me through every phase of my roof and siding replacement. He was very responsive, even during off-work hours. He addressed every concern I had and was thoughtful in his responses. He was very thorough when conducting inspections, identifying action items I didnâ t see, even if it meant additional work for his field crew at no extra cost. I canâ t say enough about the field crews for both my roof and siding replacements. They were incredible and they didnâ t treat my house as â just the next jobâ . They catered to my houseâ s needs, worked extremely efficiently, and did everything I asked of them. I would highly recommend Home Genius Exteriors for roof, siding, and gutter needs!"
"We recently worked with Evergreen Foam & Insulation on a new construction project where they applied spray foam insulation to the walls and roof deck. Their team was professional, efficient, and maintained clear communication throughout the process.
The quality of their work met our expectations, and they completed the job on schedule without any issues. The attention to detail during application was excellent, and the site was left clean and ready for the next phase of construction.
We’re pleased with the results and look forward to working with Evergreen Foam & Insulation on future projects."

Spreading tin foil over your windows works similarly to radiant barrier insulation, but not as well. It will reflect some of the sunlight that would otherwise come through the glass and warm up the inside of your home, so it might help a little to keep your home cool in the summer. However, the appearance isn’t preferable to blinds or drapes that can offer the same benefits. You might also consider tinting your windows instead, which is a more aesthetically pleasing change that can still block a good portion of the solar heat coming through your windows.
A garage ceiling needs a vapor barrier if it’s a heated garage or if you’re installing insulation in the ceiling. Without a vapor barrier, you risk moisture issues and mold growth. If you have an unheated garage and don’t plan on installing insulation that could get wet and harbor mold, the ceiling doesn't need a vapor barrier.
Natural fiber batts and spray foam insulation both work great for soundproofing. Newer materials, such as hemp batts, are more expensive but more effective for insulation and sound blocking. They are also more sustainable. There is also a professional system called Blow-In Blanket Insulation (BIBS) that is soundproof and moisture-resistant. However, BIBS must be installed professionally and can be a costly investment.
A vapor barrier keeps moisture out of the crawl space, while insulation reduces the amount of unconditioned air—and sometimes moisture—that enters the space. Coupling a vapor barrier with insulation can help prevent humidity and related moisture damage in a crawl space while also making your home more energy-efficient. Just be sure to use insulation that won’t get damaged from moisture, like rigid foam board or expanding spray foam insulation.
There are two reasons why cellulose insulation repels rodents (and insects). First, the insulation has been treated with boric acid, which is a natural pest-repellent. In addition, the loose-fill style of cellulose creates less-than-ideal conditions for mice and other rodents to nest and burrow, helping to keep them at bay.
