"Standard Insulating Company installed a dehumidifier in our crawl space, removed old, ineffective insulation in the attic and installed new attic insulation. They team was respectful, on time, and did a great job!"
"The company did everything they said they would do,tearing out all the old insulation,replacing with new insulation and putting down a vapor barrier. They did an excellent job, I would definitely recommend them to everyone needing insulation work"
"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."
"When I called to inquire about spray foam insulation I was pleasantly surprised to be educated on the differences between fiberglass insulation and spray foam. The customer service was fantastic and easy to schedule an appointment for an estimate. They even showed up early for the estimate and weâ re kind and courteous. When the insulation was installed the installers took delicate care of items in my home to make sure that they were protected and did a fantastic job. After the job was complete they made sure that the entire area was clean and tidy before leaving. I would highly recommend Hunter Green Foam for anyone who has foam insulation needs!"
"Jonathan and his partner did a great job adding insulation to my attic and crawl space. They arrived on time, work is high quality, efficient. Even worked in the rain! I highly recommend!"
"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."
We had some questions about some problems under the house. A man came out and explained to me what they could offer to try to solve those problems. They call it the doctor energy specialist or something, I don?t know. It?s about removing moisture and other things from under the house and making sure the ducts are properly attached and that they are insulated properly. That the house insulation is proper and they sealed most of the vents to keep the wet air from coming in. They put in a dehumidifier and all that stuff. They did a large amount of work. They put in a new moisture barrier and corrected some problems that we already paid somebody to do and they didn?t do. They even attached the dryer duct, which wasn?t attached and the air was going out all under the house. They were very very good. They did what they said. They took all the trash and everything they found out from under there. This whole experience has been a nightmare. Those people at GSM were super. The inspection he did not charge us for, but we put an amount down on the work they were going to start doing. It was excellent because he went under the house, he took pictures of all the things he was going to tell me about, and then he explained the different treatments that were available and the prices for those treatments. And what particular things they would correct. It was very clear and he was very good about answering my questions. He seemed very experienced.

R-value stands for resistance value and is a number assigned to insulation that states how good the insulation is at heat transference (insulation). The R-value of injection foam is around 4 which homeowners will be happy to know is actually quite good. Another benefit of injection foam versus fiberglass foam is that the colder it gets, the more injection foam retains its resistance properties, whereas fiberglass tends to lose its efficiency in colder temperatures.
The primary reason that insulation saves you money over time is that it reduces your energy bills by making your home more energy efficient. A crucial part of an insulation system is a properly installed vapor barrier. Local building codes dictate whether your insulation requires a vapor barrier based on the type installed. While some high-quality wool insulation may not technically need a vapor barrier, most municipalities still require one to meet code.
Whether plaster walls should be insulated depends on whether the walls are at particular risk of moisture problems. In many cases, you can insulate plaster walls, while in others, it's a poor decision because of the lack of a vapor barrier. Choose a reputable insulation contractor to help you decide if and how to proceed to increase your home's energy efficiency.
A dehumidifier can reduce condensation on your ductwork by lowering humidity levels in the air. Condensation occurs when humid, warm air makes contact with cold ducts. A dehumidifier can help maintain your home's indoor humidity below or around 50%, minimizing moisture buildup. However, if condensation is caused by leaks, cracks, or other damage, a dehumidifier won’t solve the problem.
When temperatures are too cold, it can keep ice from melting, and products like ice melt and rock salt are ineffective. Water turns to ice in temperatures below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Ice melts on its own when temperatures reach above 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
Ice melt loses effectiveness in temperatures below -25 degrees Fahrenheit, and rock salt works in temperatures 5 degrees Fahrenheit and warmer.
