I haven't had this type of service ever. Right from the get go everything that was promised was performed. The salesman (Kevin) to the install team (Zack and Jamie), all of them were wonderful to work with. I'm really happy with my new windows.

They showed at the time scheduled and finished that same day. The installers did not have the plugs needed where the screws protruded and said they would return. After they left, we noticed nearly all the windows leaked greatly. They were coming back --soon--I assumed from conversation on day of...

He installed the new breaker for me and I don't think he tested it before he left because I cannot use the dryer on a high setting. I tried to have im out about two months ago and he said he would come out but never showed up. If he was busy then that is understandable but it bothered me because...

Doorbell Installation questions, answered by experts

Insulation is professionally installed by measuring spaces, cutting materials to fit correctly, and placing them without gaps for optimal thermal resistance.

If you feel your energy bills are too high or your HVAC system is working harder than necessary to maintain the correct temperature in your home, you may have an under-insulated home. If you’re unsure, consider having your system’s efficiency assessed by a local independent energy auditor.

Ideally, you can add new insulation to your existing insulation. However, some circumstances require you to remove old insulation before adding any new insulation:

If the insulation is over 15 years old
If the insulation is wet or moldy
If it is vermiculite insulation
If you see signs of pest infestation

Removing old insulation is best left to a pro who can safely dispose of potential moldy or asbestos-ridden insulation.

Acoustic foam, fiberglass insulation, soundproof curtains, and specialized drywall are effective in reducing noise transmission.

Air sealing isn't necessary for attic insulation, but it's incredibly helpful since it can help you identify and patch any existing air leaks. Failing to find these leaks before adding insulation can render your insulation less effective, leading to higher energy bills and potentially costly repairs down the line.
