Hi — I’m Andrew with First Step Insulation LLC in Williston. I specialize in residential insulation and air sealing to reduce drafts, cold spots, and high heating costs — which often leads to fewer tenant complaints and lower utility costs. I’m booking free, no-obligation estimates in your area and wanted to see if you have properties that could benefit from this.\nI’m fully insured, locally based, and have immediate availability.\nCould we set up a time for an estimate or meet briefly to talk about your maintenance needs?\n\nThanks,\nAndrew\n📞 (802) 735-4053\n📧 [email protected]
"They were prompt when I wanted a quote. Next day actually. 2 days later they were blowing the insulation. I have 3 floors and they finished in 2 days! Very professional,and cleaned up afterwards! I highly recommend this company!"
We have used ASTAR for many years to service our central air. On June 30th we had a bad thunderstorm that sent a power surge through our home and fried our central air, whole house fan and some other outlets. ASTAR came and we were originally told that it would be approx. 3-4 weeks and take 2 days to install the new system because they were all booked up. We were ok with that since the weather for the next couple of weeks was going to be in the high 70's.
The following week the weather changed and it was going to be warmer. Knowing we had no central air ASTAR dropped off at our home, 2 brand new window air conditioners! WOW! They would have dropped off as many as we wanted but really only needed them for 2 of the bedrooms. Don't know of any other company that would have done that! Now the following week (7/13) we had totally forgot the we had relatives from out of state coming to spend a week with us (7/22-7/29) and the weather was going to be brutally hot! We called ASTAR and explained our situation and are happy to report that they came on Saturday, July 18th and did the entire installation in one day! They put an extra guy on so they could get the job done! It has been over a month now of hot and humid weather and the system has been on since they installed it! We have noticed that this new system does a better job at keeping the house cool then the old one which was only 10yrs old. We highly recommend this company and will continue to use them for our preventive maintenance. We would have given them a rating of A++ if it was offered!
"Justin is a true professional and his crew go above and beyond to complete the job. While spray foam insulation is not cheap I feel that the job I received will pay dividends years to come. Justin is deeply committed to his community and I work beside him every year as volunteers to build our ice palace before winter carnival. His ethics are shown thru this work and it translate into his business. Thank you. dave"
"R-Factor Insulation Company does very good work. They insulated my crawl space and did a wonderful job. The owner Mr. Knapp was very professional and came out and gave a free estimate on the work. The job estimate was right on the price with no cost over runs at the completion of the job. I had other estimates that were much higher on the same work to be done."
"Roberto was the technician and he was very professional, polite, and personable. He inspected the rest of our system and told us things that needed to be changed or repaired. He showed me pictures of everything. Everything he told me about was accurate. He quoted me a price for R38 insulation , Some of our ducts were plastic and he recommended them to be changed. I agreed completely and didn't know they were plastic. I would have had them done the work but I had no price comparisons to make and besides I didn't have the money right then. So he just finished the vent cleaning and left his card. He did a great job on the vent cleaning and was happy with the work."

Yes, you should insulate behind shower walls. Insulating helps prevent heat loss, which keeps the shower or tub from getting too cold and helps maintain a comfortable temperature in your bathroom. Additionally, proper insulation and air sealing can help prevent wall rot and moisture buildup. It is recommended to use a high R-value rated foam insulation combined with a vapor barrier.
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.
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 insulative type of insulation for behind drywall is spray foam insulation, but this is the most expensive insulation available. The most common insulation—sometimes considered the best for the value you get for the money—is fiberglass roll or fiberglass batt insulation, which is significantly more affordable but also far less insulative. The best kind of insulation for your house will also vary based on the climate in your area, your budget, and more. A professional insulation company can help you decide which type is best for your home.
Traditional clapboard siding, particularly with panels made from wood, is not a significant insulator on its own. However, you can keep your home cooler in summer and warmer with "insulated clapboard siding," which is a type of vinyl clapboard siding with a built-in foam insulation. Consult a local siding contractor to determine whether insulated siding is right for your home.
