"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."
"Attic Fanatics were easy to work with from the initial inquiry phone call. A thorough assessment of what was needed to be done in my attic was shared clearly and precisely. They addressed my concerns of health and safety and shared the full scope of the work. Upon prompt arrival to remove what was necessary they did a neat and clean job. I am so happy with the new insulation installation. They made my home feel better already! I would recommend them fully as they are kind and knowledgeable and do quality work."
"JA Drywall has always been extremely professional and friendly and their work is always excellent - this is why I keep coming back! I have tried other drywall guys who offered low prices and have always been disappointed. JA Drywall does a much nicer job than anyone else... they leave the work area clean and their finished result is perfect/"
Larry performed excellent efficient skilled work. Dust was kept at a minimum. We are very pleased with everything. Communication via emails was timely. Due to our schedules and the winter weather he was very understanding, accommodating, willing to work with us. Definitely would recommend him to others.
"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 2 hours early to which I had agreed. They were very pleasant and professional. They cleaned all vents and the returns where possible (wires inside prevented 2).
"Tom was very polite and knew his stuff when he came over for the estimate. Always on time and if he was running late called. Estimate was very competitive with others after a little bit of going back and forth with provider. I made sure to be very specific on understanding what was a typical installation as included in the price and what I wanted done. Worked with Kelly in their office who was very helpful in scheduling and any questions along the way. They took care of permits and inspections. They started the job on the promised date. Full project took about a week. Stopped over to see progress on first day and noticed some walls were not totally removed as promised. After crew called back to the office to confirm they finished up as required. Jackhammered the perimeter floor and installed drain without any issue. They were able to use existing sump pits with some effort but they did it. Existing floor tiling cut as straight as possible when trench was dug to allow for replacement tiles after installation. Could have easily just tore the floor up without regard for owner having to replace but they didn't. Stuff in basement was covered the best they could but there is a lot of dust with this work. Fans & filters used to minimize mess. After completion of work noticed some damage to drop ceiling and some other small issues when I did the final walk thru before final payment. Spoke with project manager over the phone and described what was wrong. Foreman and project manager stopped over to see the issues and spent the day correcting everything...going to Home Depot to buy whatever was needed, making repairs, etc. Things happen during a job but these guys really took care of things the right way to keep the customer happy. i would definitely recommend Healthy Way for this type work.
"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!"
"They were professional and on time. They cared about our house and put down tarps and stuff to walk on. They did an excellent job on the installation and were helpful in explaining how the system worked. They went over all the components that they installed. From what I can tell, they did a neat job. They had to break a window to vent to the outside. They didn't clean up the broken glass on the outside of the house, but it was probably just an oversight."
Spray foam is a highly effective insulative material that can dramatically reduce your energy bills and create a more comfortable living space. It does have a couple of drawbacks, however. First and foremost, spray foam insulation is much more expensive than fiberglass batt insulation. In addition, spray foam insulation is a dangerous chemical material; this is a project that is best left to pros for proper and safe installation.
The time required for insulation installation can range from a few hours to a few days, with most projects taking 1-3 days to complete. The final duration depends on the project's size and complexity, the area size, and the type of insulation being installed.
For a DIY solution to protect an outdoor faucet from freezing, you can craft a cover using spare rags, a durable plastic bag, and duct tape. However, be aware that this method may not be as effective as a store-bought cover. Fabric like rags or old towels can absorb water, which could freeze and cause problems. While a DIY cover can work as a temporary stopgap, a proper outdoor faucet cover is inexpensive (often $5 or less), easy to install, and readily available, making it the recommended long-term solution.
For your safety, you should always wear a mask when cutting batts of fiberglass insulation. We also recommend wearing eye protection, safety gloves, and long sleeves to protect your skin. Properly suiting up helps you avoid several fiberglass issues, such as cuts from the tiny shards of glass and inhaling small bits of fiberglass.
It’s best not to install a radiant barrier directly under insulation because it requires an air gap on at least one side to work properly. Instead, you should install the radiant barrier over your existing insulation to create an air space to reflect the radiant heat.
