"I RECENTLY HAD MY ATTIC INSULATION REPLACED BY MASTER ATTIC. ALEX CAME OUT RIGHT ON SCHEDULE AND GAVE ME A FAIR PRICE. ( I DID HAVE 4 OTHER ESTIMATES) THE CREW LEAD BY ROBERTO WAS AMAZING. THEY WERE VERY CONSIDERATE, CAREFUL IN MAKING SURE THE AREA WAS SEALED OFF AND WERE VERY CAREFUL OF MY PERSONAL BELONGINGS. THEY DID A GREAT JOB IN REMOVING OLD INSULATION , VACUUMING OUT THE ATTIC ,SPRAYED AREA AND SEALED ANY OPENINGS. BEFORE THEY BROUGHT IN NEW INSULATION, THEY ASKED ME IF I WISHED TO TO VIEW THE ATTIC AND I DID. I WAS AMAZED EVEN AT THIS POINT, HOW CLEANED EVERYTHING LOOKED . (THIS INSULATION HAD BEEN UP THERE FOR 70 YEARS) NEW INSULATION WAS INSTALLED AND IT LOOKS GREAT. THE CREWED CLEANED UP EVERYTHING , EVEN VACUUMED THE AREA IN THE ROOM. ALL BAGS OF OLD INSULATION WERE REMOVED PROMPTLY AND I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE."
"They were on time ( actually showed up 30 minutes early) and very quick at completing the job! Cleaned up the job site very well ! I would definitely recommend this company for all interested in getting spray foam installed in theyâ re home!!"
"Michael was delightful. He came on time and did a thorough estimate.. He and his team removed old, falling insulation from our crawlspace, replaced it, and replaced a tattered vapor barrier. On time, at price."
"They were excellent contractors. Changes that came up during the project were handled efficiently and they offered sound advice and opinions. Prices were fair and they kept in contact."
"My bathroom remodeling experience was unexpectedly pleasant, and I owe a great deal of gratitude to the guys from Score Construction. I had a rough idea going in of what I wanted my mother's new bathroom to look like, but it was mostly just conjecture and hand-waving, needless to note I'm the type of guy who needs a gal that's mechanically inclined, because I'm far from it. Before starting the project, I had three contractors come and take a look at the bathroom (I also had two contractors who could only give me quotes over the phone, they were cheaper than the quotes I received in person, and I think it's very obvious why). They were all very professional in their conduct, but what set SCORE apart from the rest was their willingness to hear me out. I drew diagrams of what I wanted the bathroom to look like, and SCORE (in particular Janusz, though his partner was commendable as well) took the time to analyze my thoughts line by line. For my wishes that were feasible, they explained exactly how they would accomplish it, and for some of my ideas that were either too expensive or impossible considering the layout of the bathroom, they suggested revisions that were in line with the overall design (her bathroom is roughly 100 sq ft, so there was ample space for design). My only complaint about the other contractors was that they did not respect my ideas enough, not that they were rude in any way, but it felt to me as if the design was already established according to their desires, and it was me that was going to have to come around to their way of thinking. Admittedly, I have no design experience, but this is my project and my money so I figured that the hired hands should be a little understanding when it comes to my wishes. The guys at SCORE were more than understanding, and it showed itself in the final product. Once all the preliminaries were settled, the actual construction began and it was completed in two weeks. They adjusted their work schedule around my availability (if I was free and let them work straight w/o any days off I imagine it would have been done much sooner). They did a very professional job, and I'm very glad to have had such an easygoing remodeling experience. Mum's happy, so I'm happy. -Ali"
"Did a terrific job removing old plywood covering original batt and hauling away both the wood and old insulation. I believe there were several spots where new form insulation was not at the 4 depth. Sales representative never called me back when I called and left message regarding this."
"I hired AGL to insulate my basement. When they first came out, they found a water issue in the walls. Instead of just spraying anyway, they advised me to wait a few days for it to dry and do something about the water. I had my contractor add a concrete barrier around the house to keep water away from the walls, and they came back a few days later to do the job. They also left me commercial fans to help dry the place out. They did a great job on the foam, and my basement is extremely well insulated. Sometimes it's warmer down there than in the rest of the house! I'd use them again any day."
"The entire crew from Attic Fanatics was fabulous. Very fast and efficient work. Cleaned out vacuumed sanitized and re-insulated a 60 year old attic in a matter of a few hours. Couldn’t be happier. Thank you Attic Fanatics."
"This project started w/ my husband & I wanting to change out 3 windows. THREE. We'd gone thru the whole spiel w/ Anderson who wanted to swap out all our windows for an obscene fee. That was NOT what we wanted. After submitting an Angi request, Victory reached out. We set up an appt where they showed us the quality of their windows & also pointed out the poor condition of ours. We were immediately impressed. I'm talking energy efficient, virgin vinyl, break in resistant & MORE. We were sold but concerned about being appvd for financing. Kyle was able to find us a lender at a decent rate. He assured us the job wld go smoothly. Truthfully we were dreading the actual install because of the mess. Kyle assured us again that everything wld go smoothly. Install day arrived. We were told prior that it'd be an all day project. Understandable for 18 windows. A team of 4 arrived at 8:30, got right to work & were done by 3pm! And when I say done, I mean installed AND cleaned up. They thoroughly vacuumed the areas they were working in. I couldn't believe it. Now our windows are beautiful! No more mold. No more decay. No more stuck locks. What a total upgrade! I've never experienced such good service. We're looking fwd to finally being able to open our windows safely AND saving $ on heating & cooling. Money well spent! I highly recommend Victory Homes."
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.
Doubling the insulation in your home also doubles the R-value of said insulation. In other words, by adding more insulation, you can reduce the heat loss by half. Most homes benefit from increasing insulation. Older homes, in particular tend to have less insulation as is, so doubling your insulation could drastically reduce your energy bills, keep your home more comfortable, and take the strain off your HVAC system.
While freezing pipes are less of a concern in warmer climates, pipe insulation can still be beneficial because it helps prevent condensation on cold water pipes, reducing the risk of moisture-related issues like mold growth. It also helps maintain water temperature, reducing the energy needed to heat and cool the water, which can ultimately lower your utility bills.
The most affordable way to insulate behind unfinished walls is to install fiberglass batts or rolls. These total around $0.75 per linear foot, with the width matching the gaps between standard studs perfectly. However, it’s important to consider the R-value of your insulation and the climate in your area, as fiberglass insulation isn’t the best in terms of preventing heat transfer. Plus, the most affordable option may cost more on electricity bills over time. The most affordable way to insulate behind finished walls is to leave them up and use blown-in insulation to avoid drywall replacement.
The cost to install a radiant barrier ranges from $700 to $2,800, depending on the size of your roof and the type you choose. Most people pay an average of $1,700 to install a radiant barrier. Foil options, both single- and double-sided, cost between $0.10 and $0.90 per square foot, while spray-on options start at $0.60 and go all the way up to $1 per square foot—which can add up quickly.
