"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."
Generally, the cost of ice dam removal is not covered by homeowners insurance because it is often considered preventable maintenance. However, the damage caused by ice dams is frequently covered. Depending on your policy, this can include interior water damage, roof collapses, and damage to shingles. Coverage for personal belongings affected by leaks may vary. It is important to check your policy details or contact your insurer to confirm what your plan covers. Keep in mind that any damage resulting from a DIY attempt to remove an ice dam will likely not be covered.
Yes, insulating ductwork in a crawl space is a worthwhile investment, especially if you live in a colder climate or run your air conditioning for most of the year. Uninsulated ducts can lose up to 30% of their heating and cooling efficiency, which can significantly impact your electricity bill. The project is a relatively small investment and typically only takes a few hours. It's a particularly simple add-on if you are already hiring someone to insulate the entire crawl space. An added benefit is that insulated ducts put off less hot or cold air, making them less attractive to pests.
The lifespan of crawl space insulation depends on how well you maintain your insulation and the type of insulation. Fiberglass will need replacing every 15 to 20 years on average if you don't have a vapor barrier in place. If you do have vapor barriers in place, then your insulation could last much longer. Spray foam insulation can last anywhere from 80 to 100 years.
Pipes in your house can freeze after six hours or so if you lose power and temperatures are below freezing. You can prepare for potential power outages by winterizing your pipes with insulation. Also, whenever temperatures drop below 20 degrees Fahrenheit, turn your faucets on very low and leave them dripping until temperatures rise.
The primary purpose of insulation is to maintain comfortable temperatures in a home, whether that’s cool air when it’s hot out, or warm air in winter, but that’s not all it can do. All options will also minimize heating and cooling needs, lowering both your carbon footprint and energy bills in turn. And some options, like rigid foam boards, even offer soundproofing benefits, too.
