"We are very pleased with this company! The professionalism from start to finish was awesome. Shane for explaining the RetroFoam product and signing the insulation agreement. Kim and Derek for expertise of taping everything off, insulation install and cleanup! What a difference it made. We highly recommend RetroFoam!"
"Lou with Buckeye Wildlife was professional and very personable. We had the company out to clean out an attic in a 1959 home. The attic had been used for storage over the years and had old insulation that needed to be removed. Lou and his team removed all the trash and the old insulation. The attic is now "spotless" and ready for new insulation. I would highly recommend this company. They were thorough, and the price was very reasonable for the amount of work they did."
"Zach was great! He did everything we needed, and even rearranged the insulation in our attic so it was back to where it should be. Super young man, very polite and would HIGHLY recommend him. Very reasonable prices too."
"Mice problem in 4400 sq ft of attic; they removed all insulation then disinfected and sanitized the area. Installed new thermal, acoustical, and pest control insulation. Inspected and sealed any exterior entry points. Also included food traps. Josh and his team are fantastic, very professional. They communicate at every step of the way. Cleaned up at the end of every work day. Would 100% hire them again."

"Had the whole house insulated in 2016. Just found out that there is now mold in the attic. Have had three different contractors come to look at it and ALL have said the reason is because when the insulation was blown into the attic they did not take the time to rake it away from the soffits. Now I'm faced with a major repair bill of $3000 to eliminate the mold. Plus, to make matters worse, my utility bill did not go down very much after having this done. Only thing I can say is that the house is more comfortable. So beware if you use this company and make sure they install the insulation into your attic correctly!"
"I got two recommendations from Angie's List and JR Insulation came out the same week and gave me a quote. I hired them to do the job and they were punctual, professional and completed the job in a timely manner. I would highly recommend them."
"My wife and I attended a presentation by James Manfield, the owner of GreenForce. We were impressed with company product and Jame's punctuality, professionalism and honesty. We decided to hire his company to add insulation to attic of my in-laws house. The installers came on time and over 9 hours managed to complete 95% of the job. The installers were polite, professional and clean. The subsequent installers came next day and completed the job. We are very pleased with James and the service provided by his company. As FYI, we had similar radiant barrier installed by another company in our own house in 2012 and we were pleased with the reduction in heating and cooling cost."

"After having a major pipe bust and leak issue repaired, we then had to fix up water damage as well as damage left by plumbers trying to fix our problems. One of the damages at hand was wet insulation and wet and rotting boards holding that insulation up underneath the side of our kitchen where it meets our back porch (about 2 feet off the ground). Tom came out and not only removed the section that was damaged, but pulled out basically the whole row of boards and insulation that followed along where our kitchen and porch meet (not damaged, but older). He then added all new insulation and replaced all the boarding holding it up. His charge for all of this doesn't seem fair... to him. Now, when just about anything needs fixed around the house, we are ready to give Tom a call! "
Although it’s not required, air ventilation in a finished basement can help improve the air quality, prevent moisture and mold issues, keep musty odors away, and also maintain the air quality throughout the rest of your home. Proper ventilation will help maintain the value of your investment in finishing your basement. Try basement ventilation methods like installing vents or a dehumidifier for best results.
While fiberglass is dangerous to work with, it’s a perfectly safe material once it’s installed. If you’re tackling the installation yourself, make sure you take the proper safety precautions and wear the right gear to avoid skin and eye irritation and lung complications. Working with a professional insulation company can mitigate these risks.
Rockwool insulation can last up to 100 years, but just how long this insulation lasts in your home depends on how well it's maintained. Poorly installed insulation may last only 30 years, so be sure to regularly inspect your home's insulation for water damage, settling, and pests to give your insulation the best chance of having a long lifespan.
Whether plaster walls should be insulated depends on whether the walls are at particular risk of moisture problems. In many cases, you can insulate plaster walls, while in others, it's a poor decision because of the lack of a vapor barrier. Choose a reputable insulation contractor to help you decide if and how to proceed to increase your home's energy efficiency.
The R-value is a rating that measures an insulation's thermal resistance—in other words, how well it insulates. A higher R-value provides more protection for your pipes, and all pipe insulation materials should have an R-value listed on the product description or label. Each insulation type has its own R-value, which typically falls between one and five for most pipe insulation. When making a selection, Energy.gov recommends choosing a pipe wrap that is at least one inch thick, and the International Code Council (ICC) suggests choosing a material with an R-value of at least 3.
