"Standard Insulating Company sent David E to our house to a**** a problem we were having with hot spots in certain areas. David was up front with his assessment and explained everything in a way we were able to understand. The quote he emailed us was surprisingly reasonable with no hidden fees or surprises. We chose to have our insulation capped as well as radiant barrier installed. The work was scheduled less than a week later and the crew was professional, knowledgable, quick, efficient and kept the whole work area clean. I highly recommend Standard Insulating Company to anyone looking to have any type of insulation work done."
"Did not do work, but pricing was competitive with everyone else. Invoice got lost in junk e-mail, so did not think I ever received invoice, but I found it a month or so after job was completed again. If\when I have another job will call All Foam and make sure Invoice doesn't get lost in junk e-mail! "
"Outstanding! Mario and his workers did a fantastic job! They removed all insulation. They sanded off all wood and treated with a solution to kill any residual mold. They placed new insulation. They encapsulated the whole crawl space and placed a dehumidifier. I felt very confident that the job was "done right". The whole organization very professional."

"John (the owner) emailed me promptly. He provided me a quote with a clear explanation of what is covered. At the end I did not use his company because I needed the job done sooner than he could schedule."
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.
Although it’s not required, air ventilation in a finished basement can help improve the air quality, prevent moisture and mold issues, keep musty odors away, and also maintain the air quality throughout the rest of your home. Proper ventilation will help maintain the value of your investment in finishing your basement. Try basement ventilation methods like installing vents or a dehumidifier for best results.
Once installed, injection insulation requires little maintenance, but periodic inspections for air leaks or moisture buildup are recommended.
Most insulation lasts 15 to 20 years, but it really depends on the type of insulation. Spray foam is a permanent insulation material that can last up to 100 years. Fiberglass and cellulose typically settle, shift, or deteriorate around 15 years. Once your insulation reaches the 15-year mark, it's time to check it for signs of needing to be replaced.
You should not use spray foam insulation in several specific areas. Avoid applying it in spaces exposed to high temperatures, such as near electrical boxes or recessed lighting, unless the foam is specifically rated for such use. Applying foam near electrical boxes can damage the wiring, and using it too close to lightboxes or recessed lights creates a potential fire hazard. Additionally, do not use spray foam in areas prone to shifting or movement, as this can lead to cracks and gaps in the insulation. Finally, open-cell foam is unsuitable for use below ground or in areas exposed to moisture because it can absorb water, which compromises its insulating effectiveness.
