"As a retired contractor I can say that these guys do it right. Estimator/salesman (Jay) arrived right on time for his appointment and sent an estimate by email within about twelve hours. Calls were returned, questions answered and proposal was clear and to the point. Appointment was scheduled with no difficulty and the crew - two very tidy men - arrived a few minutes early for the installation. (Jake and a name I did not catch) The job consisted of spraying a confined attic area which contains an air handler and the box beam around the cellar foundation. This was all done cleanly and within a few of hours. Drop clothes were placed every where necessary and the floors were covered more than adequately.  When they left, other than the work they had done, I would not have known they had been here. 

   This was a retrofit to stop heat leakage from the attic area which contains the air handler and which was causing enormous icicles over the front entrance and cold infiltration from the cellar. This was something of an experiment to see what difference the insulation will make this winter. They have other insulation services and I will be calling them to price a couple of other projects as time and cash flow allow.  Keep in mind, spray foam is lumpy. It does not present a flat  surface when finished and no one should expect it to disappear into the background unless it is behind sheetrock. That is another kind of installation.

Insulation questions, answered by experts

Fiberglass is considered dangerous only if your skin comes into contact with it or if you breathe in any fiberglass particles. This is because fiberglass is literally made of tiny fibers of glass that can cut your skin and your organs. While there aren’t many long-term effects, it’s still important to take all the proper safety precautions when working with fiberglass.

It’s technically possible to install loose-fill cellulose insulation without a blower, but it’s much more time-consuming, tedious, and dangerous. You’ll need to wear the proper protective coverings to handle the cellulose after it’s been doused in boric acid; use a shovel when you can to transport the material from the bag into the wall cavity.

That said, if you purchase cellulose materials at a home improvement store, ask if they rent out blowers for free or at a discounted rate. In many cases, if you buy the material from the store, they’ll rent out the blower at no extra cost.

Unless your cellulose insulation is wet, moldy, or showing signs of mildew or pests, there’s no need to remove it before adding new insulation on top of it. Inspect your insulation thoroughly before adding the new insulation, and if you’re unsure how to assess the presence of mold or mildew, talk to a mold remediation specialist near you.

The lifespan of insulation depends on the material type. Fiberglass can last between 80 and 100 years, but it is important to start checking it around the 15-year mark. Spray foam has a lifespan of up to 100 years, and mineral wool can last up to 100 years. Cellulose, an eco-friendly option, has a lifespan of 20 to 30 years.

You do not always need to remove old insulation before adding new. If the existing insulation is in good condition—not wet, physically damaged, moldy, or infested with pests—you can add new insulation directly on top of it for a compounding effect. You can also mix different types, such as adding blown-in insulation around existing fiberglass batts.

However, removal is recommended if the old insulation is compromised by water damage or pests. You should also remove it if you plan to install a different type of insulation, like switching from roll or batt insulation to spray foam. If the existing insulation is very old or damaged, you will likely get more benefit from removing it and starting fresh.
