"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Work by Sebastian – Jersey State Insulations
We recently had insulation work completed by Jersey State Insulations, and Sebastian and his team did an outstanding job. From the beginning, Sebastian was professional, knowledgeable, and very easy to work with.
He took the time to explain the process, recommended the right insulation for our space, and made sure everything was properly sealed and installed. The workmanship was clean, efficient, and done with great attention to detail. No shortcuts — just solid, quality work.
Sebastian was punctual, respectful of our home, and left the area clean after the job was finished. We’ve already noticed an improvement in comfort.
I highly recommend Sebastian and Jersey State Insulations to anyone looking for reliable and professional insulation services."
"Howard Falkow was incredibly helpful and responsive from the beginning. He walked us through the analysis of the energy leaks in the house and outlined several options to help us save on our energy bill. Rather than immediately pitch us on the most expensive option, he gave us an objective cost/benefit analysis as to which package would result in the best energy savings per cost. Howard was very responsive over email as well as on the phone and he and his staff were always friendly, professional, and very accomadating when it came to scheduling. Howard and NY Metro Insulation provide an excellent service for anyone who is looking to make their home more energy efficient. They are honest, professional, and perform high quality work (we noticed results immediately after the work was performed) and I would recommend them very highly to anyone in the area.
"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."
"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. "
"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!"
"Vincent arrived early for the quote which impressed me. We reviewed the project and he advised a price on the spot (which surprised me). I asked a lot of questions about timing and what was/was not included. I liked that there would be a project manager to oversee the project so signed the contract even though it was a lot more than I had expected. Paul, the Director of Projects, was assigned to my project which I thought would be a good thing. When Paul came out for the pre-production meeting, his estimate on the length of the project was different than Vincent's estimate. There were also questions about what was/was not included in the scope of work even though I thought we had clarified everything. Paragon did agree to cover the items agreed to by Vincent even though it was not in the contract. I appreciated that. Paul came out for the first morning of the project. When he left, I asked how often he would come by. He said he tries to come by every day during a project. Plus, there were multiple projects going on in my town so it sounded like he would be in the area. Needless to say, he came for the rough inspections and then did not come back for over a week. When he did come back, he realized that the team had not tented/tarped my room and my bedroom was covered in dust and dirt. He apologized and sent someone to clean my bedroom. I mentioned that he would have known about the issue if he had come by daily as mentioned. His reply was that he saw pictures every day. I explained that was not the same as coming by the actual site. The guy who did the work in my bathroom was good but I felt that I had to follow up on a lot of things. Since Paul was not around, I felt like I had to make sure he knew what was happening day to day. When they finished the plumbing, I had to have them come back twice due to leaks. They installed my medicine cabinet incorrectly and had to come back and fix it (it was not anchored on the wall). When they were "finished", I had to send an email with photos of a lot of little issues (dings in the wall, poor paint job, open edges where they did not caulk). They came back again to fix those items although now one section of a wall looks very odd (they sanded it and it has a different texture than the rest of the walls). At this point, I think I might hire someone else to come out and fix the wall/paint. I literally do not have it in me to go through another round of fixes. I had a few rough conversations with Paul about the project. During one of these conversations, he said "You have asked me the same question 4 times. If you keep asking me, you will keep getting the same answer." Not the response that I expected. He explained to me that "This is what happens in production." Funny enough - I work in manufacturing and production so did not appreciate that comment (although it has been the source of many, many jokes in my office). I explained that if he had done a better job pre-production (reviewing materials, reviewing construction expectations, etc.), we would not have had the issues during production. I also explained that I was asking questions because his answers were vague and not helpful. I got the impression he either didn't have the time to properly explain things to me or didn't think I could understand what was happening. One other point, because the guy who did the work in my apartment walked to my apartment, he didn't carry supplies. He ended up using my vacuum to vacuum up the dirt/caulk/etc and put the vacuum back. When I went to use my vacuum, it was filthy (absolutely covered in dust). When I picked it up, grout and white dust fell out. I asked him to clean it which he did - but it's still dirty. I will probably throw it away and buy a new. While I think Paul is qualified, I think he has too much on his plate. He told me that there are currently 30 projects going on. If he is going to be the Director of Projects, he should direct the team. If he is going to be a project manager, he should do that and be on site at the projects."
"Great job and suggestions for materials/reliable honest experienced personable/rebuilt injured house/roof to be stronger than original build/did beautiful tile work on shower"
"They did the entire basement (complete perimeter "french drain", 2 sump pumps, etc). Al and his crew were phenomenal. Professional, clean (which is something for this type of work), and responsible. His crew came to work, knocking out everything in less than 2 days. I like to do things correctly and only once. While he was not the cheapest, his name says it all - it was done the RIGHT WAY. His services were second to none including the expert advice. The only company I will ever use and he is the only establishment you should consider."
"I was surprised at their quick response and how easily they scheduled me for a home visit for an estimate. Once Billy Flynn came to the house I was convinced I called the right company.Billy was very knowledgable about waterproofing and walked me thru the different options available, he was very transparent and earned my trust within minutes. he used a pretty cool feature on his tablet that sketched out my basement and noted all the job details so that installers could be on the same page with everything. he showed me a few more pictures and videos to ensure I understood the process. Billy also helped us get approved to finance the project and personally called the bank to get us a better deal than we were offered when we called. Billy was able to get us on scheduled within a few days since we were expecting heavy rain. When the day of the project came I met Dave one of the Job Inspectors and again he explained to me what to expect from the install. The crew got to work instantly and to my surprise they take job cleanliness very serious they put covers all throughout the floors, and stairs and put plastic all around the work area as well as a fan to control the dust. The crew did an amazing job and worked at a very fast pace but also took the time to show me every step in the process. within 6 hours they were all done with the job and the place was left as if they hadn't been there. I would definitely recommend All County Waterproofing to anybody looking to waterproof their homes. excellent company and outstanding costumer care."
The thickness of floor insulation will depend on the R-value you plan to achieve. R-value varies on the type of material as well as its thickness and density. Insulation materials with low R-values can be layered to match the value of denser materials. As long as your floor insulation is packed tightly, seals the area from drafts, and doesn’t prevent ventilation, it can be as thick (or thin) as you need.
The most affordable way to insulate a garage involves choosing cost-effective materials like fiberglass, which comes in batts or rolls and is relatively easy to install. You can often install this type of insulation without needing to add drywall, which helps reduce costs. While a DIY approach might seem cheapest, hiring a professional installer can be highly cost-effective. Experts can accurately determine your garage's specific insulation needs and ensure the best results for your investment, often using batt insulation for the bulk of the project.
The best R-value for home insulation depends on where you live and where you’re installing the insulation. Your climate zone plays the biggest role in determining the correct R-value, so be sure to know which zone you live in when determining the R-value you need.
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.
Installing new insulation in a home is worthwhile if your existing insulation is old and has lost some of its insulative capability or if you don’t have insulation installed already. Installing new insulation will boost your home’s energy efficiency, which can reduce your heating and cooling bills and save money on HVAC repair and maintenance in the long run. New insulation also keeps your living space more comfortable, so you and your family will benefit from the work as well. Finally, installing new insulation boosts your home value, making it especially worthwhile if you plan to sell.
