"Master Attic removed my old and rodent infested insulation, thoroughly cleaned out all the junk in my attic, vacuumed all the dirt, debris, and rodent feces, sealed all air leaks, installed rodent-proof cages around any entry points to the attic, sanitized the entire attic space and installed new insulation throughout. Francisco and his crew were fantastic! Great job by Master Attic! Thank you!"
"Armor Insulation and More was timely, courteous, and efficient throughout the entire process. The owner went out of his way to make sure that I understood exactly the services I was to be receiving, and his team was nothing but respectful and left the house as clean as it was when they arrived. I would feel more than comfortable recommending them to family and friends."
"Arrived as scheduled. Prepared and installed insulation. Repaired areas needed for access. Salesman mentioned heat mapping which was never done. Would like a heat map when it gets colder."
"We had been living in our house for 5 years and although the kitchen was a new addition, every winter my wife & I had noticed how noticeably the temperature differentiated especially after the winter of 2014/15. And because it was a dirt floor with some wood and old construction debris strewn about. I was not so keen on staying down there. In doing my own investigation there was some piping and insulation under floor. So when investigating estimates we called a number of "green" companies. Out of the three companies that came, only Frank Petrullo with Eco Green Solutions, noticed the mold and a water leak coming from fridge line. He took the time to show me where the water was coming, how mold had proliferated on the wood floor joists and beams. The dirt floor was somewhat moist and light was visible from outside along foundation rim contributing to the mold and moisture in crawl space. He explained each of our options and detailed the steps in sections of each estimate. We opted to have a plumber fix the water leak, then franks crew came in, cleaned up the mold, then layed down the crawl space membrane, finally insulating floor & rim joist. All in under two days. The crew showed up on time, left the open sections of the house clean, and we immediately noticed a difference in kitchen and rest of house. Walking around bare foot in kitchen is more comfortable, the kitchen is less noisy, and house humidity is maintained. "
"Joe did a great job on this, our dining room was a add on to connect the original home and the garage and had no insulation and boy in the winter it was unusable as well as the kitchen basically (the best part of the house). Joe came and drilled small holes in the attic floor that they sealed up later to allow for blowing in the insulation. And they cleaned up well. we have a 20 month old but there was nothing left over for the baby to put in her mouth. Joe is great! Our dining room is toasty and the kids can play in there year-round Plus they are were less than half of the expensive "efficiency" guys PSEG sent over. Those providers wanted to charge $10,000+ for basically the same job."
"Person who visited was very polite and noted that what I purchased was likely not something that would meet my expectations. I wanted an energy audit, how my systems could be improved in home, lighting, heating, insulation and air conditioners. What I got was a list of things they could work on and the price to do that work. The work list in no way was considered an energy audit, rather it was a punch list of things I could do based on their visual inspection. I did not have a comparison of work and benefit/savings calculation. There was no checklist of inefficiencies and how that translated into energy losses. For example, multiple hi hat lights in house, they spoke about boxing and insulating a few, less than 10, when I have almost 90 in house. Overall I was disappointed, the tech who came said the offering needed to be better presented prior to start of work."
"They arrived on time. They offered assistance with moving the furniture out of their work area. The workers made sure to cover the floors and all the furniture before they began their work. The work was completed in two days as predicted. They forgot to include one of the entryways ceilings In the contract. I mentioned this to the worker and after a phone call to Ari they proceeded to do the work. Although I would have liked to see Ari at some point during the insulation process, I believe the work was done well. We will wait for this coming winter to give our final verdict. "
"It turned out that the air quality was good, but the mold behind the tub was Stachybotrys, A.K.A. "Black Mold" which needed to be removed. This is where things got problematic for me. I knew going into the test that I would feel uncomfortable having the same company perform remediation that did the test for obvious reasons. I only chose Healthy Way because of the positive reviews on Angie's List and the promotional offer. Long story short, my insurance adjuster along with several other mold remediators thought that Healthy Way's plan for remediation was excessive, so I ended up going with another company. I really liked the people and Healthy Way and would probably use them in the future for remediation, if need be. I would prefer to have the mold test done by an independent company. "
"Mike came and did a thorough inspection of my crawlspace which was once home to a family of raccoons. CleanSpace came and cleaned and disposed of all of the soiled insulation and sanitized the space before installing new and better insulation . The work was done quickly and as described, I would recommend them for anyone in a similar situation!"
"Paragon did a great job of tearing out 2 bathrooms and 4 bedrooms (down to studs). Re-insulated, new sheetrock, molding, new doors, hardwood floors in the bedrooms, hallway and on the stairs. We had a previous issue with a contractor and Paragon stepped in and took over and really left us with a positive attitude toward contractors. Our neighbors commented on how impressed they were that the Paragon employees showed up early every day and put in full days - no disappearing in the middle of a job for another job, no missed work days. The level of experience and customer service was superb, something that is not very common these days. When we had questions, we actually had the ability to communicate with the President of Paragon, and one day when there was extra clean up to be done, his son showed up to do it (a hard-working, very polite young man). It gave me the feeling I was working with a person who runs his company and home with the same ethics - hard work, good attitude, people matter. I would not hesitate to recommend this company for any job that you need done. "
The amount of insulation you need will vary depending on where you live. Energy Star recommends certain minimum insulation values in different geographic regions. In most cases, however, even adding a little insulation is better than not adding any.
It improves energy efficiency, reduces noise, enhances indoor comfort, and prevents drafts by filling wall cavities.
Energy-efficient homes generally have higher appraisals and appeal to buyers.
Yes, brick houses are better insulated, because the bricks slow down the passage of air from the outside to the inside and vice-versa. This helps to stabilize the internal temperature of the home. When combined with proper residential insulation, brick houses are more efficient and better insulated than other types.
Once installed, injection insulation requires little maintenance, but periodic inspections for air leaks or moisture buildup are recommended.
