Metro NY Insulation
About us
Metro NY Insulation is a green focused, cellulose insulation contractor that works with homeowners to help them save money on their heating and cooling costs. By sealing the home to prevent drafts from allowing heated (or cooled) air from escaping, home works more efficiently and uses less energy. We are accredited by the Building Performance Institute (BPI) for Building Envelope and Building Analyst to view the whole building as a system and allow it to breathe properly while still retaining the heat in the winter and the conditioned air in the summer. Proper ventilation and insulation leads to a healthier home, with fewer mold issues and less likelihood of developing ice dams in the winter. We do more than just add insulation, we do full scale weatherization to keep you and your home healthy. We also do interior wall soundproofing to reduce noise transfer from room to room. We use only 100% Borate infused National Fiber Cel-Pak so you won't have to worry about the toxic off-gasing or ammonia smell from inferior insulation used by other companies. All employees are trained and trusted. NO SUBCONTRACTORS. Free in-home assessment. Costs are determined by the scope of the job - we do everything to the BPI specifications. We do more than just insulate - WE WEATHERIZE!!!

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 got 3 estimates to insulate approx 2500 sq ft of attic and install insulation in foundation crawl space. Howard from Metro gave us estimate of $4500 for 15" of cellulose insulation for the attic..that was twice the amount of insulation from the lowest estimate ( 7" + crawlspace $3000), but didn't include crawlspace. Highest estimate was approx $6,000 for 12"+ crawlspace. Howard from Metro said we would be better off with more insulation in attic and over garage then with less and insulation in crawlspace. He brought in at no cost to us, someone to do infrared scan of house for energy leakage. How was found to be tight but he recommended to better seal front door (I did myself). We went with Howard, crew showed up on time, did what they had to, very polite, clean. Oh...almost forgot...he also installed two ducts from bathroom exhaust fans that were vented into attic (no charge)...I was having that section of roof redone in spring and roofers attached vents in roof to ducts (went very smooth). I would highly recommend Metro.
was friendly and courteous - but the job was half done. They were supposed to blow
cellulose insulation into my walls and only ended up covering half of the walls. They
were more concerned with going home early than doing a good and effective job -
and this was after showing up late. The outcome,
which was to provide soundproofing was not effective and as a result I may have
to hire another contractor to finish the job. The price of the contract was
competitive, but it is not worth the risk. The manager is very skilled at selling
his services and products, but be careful as you may be in for some
unpleasant surprise. I would not recommend hiring this company.
