"Excellent, from start to finish. The company contacted me within moments of my request. Explained everything, quoted me a price and set up a day/time that worked with my schedule. The insulation crew were friendly and professional. I paid when the job was done, shown pics of before and after. When they left you wouldn't even know they were there. No mess at all. Would recommend this company!!!!"
"The company was quick and professional. My only issue is that the discussion, questions and agreements I had with the estimator did not align with the work the insulation teams did."
"Jeff Moore and Seth both did a great job as the sales team helping me to coordinate my new home attic insulation. The crew that came out was very respectful and courteous and did a five star job of answering all my questions installing the insulation to my satisfaction and completing all of the tasks listed in the job"
"This by far the best and most professional company we have ever dealt with. We had another company try to trap them and they failed miserably. These guys came out climbed through our attic, took a picture of our house guest and set a trap. Caught him the next day, set another trap and caught his friend. A few days later they came our , cleaned up the mess in the attic and were gone. Not a spot of insulation in the house, not a thing out of place. Great company! You won't find anyone better."

"Talkedto Steve at the home and garden show and set up an appointment for an estimate. When he came out, he told me right up front that they were pretty backed up due to the bad winter. I was fine with that and set a date that was good for both of us to have the work done. They called the day before to remind me of the appointment and showed up on time and did the work in one day. They did a great job, cleaned up after themselves and you couldn?t even tell that they had popped off the siding to drill the holes for the insulation. "
"The insulation in my basement was falling down and in horrible shape. These guys came out removed and installed new insulation the same day! The 2 workers who came out were very polite and thorough!"
"We used Fox Foam to install blown-in insulation in our attic and to properly vent our bathroom exhaust fan. We recently had our roof replaced and switched from tan shingles to black shingles - with the new color, the house was noticeably hotter and our aging A/c unit couldn't keep up. I contacted several contractors and Andrew at Fox Foam was the only one that returned my calls promptly, was able to get me scheduled quickly, and was reasonably priced. They came out and completed the job in just a couple hours and provided pictures of the attic when they were finished. The very next day the temperature shot up to the mid-80's with high humidity (which is right about when my central air would start struggling) - the house is noticeably cooler, the A/C isn't running all the time, and I can't feel hot air pouring in from the bathroom fan like I could before. I would definitely recommend Fox Foam."
"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."
"I had never heard of product before program. Installation went well. It seemed thorough and quick. Efficiency of product will tell in time. I would use this company again if product works as stated."
Yes, you need a 1.5-inch to 2-inch air gap in a cathedral ceiling to allow proper air flow and prevent cathedral ceiling venting problems. This amount of airspace allows warm, moist air to properly leave your ceiling to avoid moisture build-up and other issues that put your home at risk. You can also add an air vent for extra air flow.
No, 55 degrees Fahrenheit is not too cold for a house, as it’s a temperature that will keep your pipes and appliances from freezing. Well-insulated homes can even go to 50 degrees, but check with an HVAC pro before opting for such a low temperature. Stick to 55 degrees to be on the safe side.
You won’t find anything inside a cupola on a house because it’s hollow (think of an upside-down cup), allowing air to ventilate out of a roof via vents and light to come in via windows. They also usually have a base, vents around the middle (usually louvers), and a pointed cap at the top.
Canned spray foam has an R-value of R-3.7 per inch. However, it’s not great for use as insulation. Also known as single-component spray foam, it doesn’t expand as much as two-part types that work for insulating the whole house. Save the canned foam for gaps around doors and windows.
Yes, it is possible to have too much insulation, which can have detrimental effects. While more insulation might seem better for energy efficiency, a home needs to "breathe" or ventilate to release moisture that accumulates inside. Over-insulating can seal a house too tightly, trapping water vapor and leading to several problems, including mold, mildew, and condensation. Homes in warm, humid climates are particularly susceptible to mold, while those in colder climates can experience condensation from temperature fluctuations. Additionally, adding more insulation than the recommended amount for your climate may not provide recoverable energy savings. To avoid these issues, consult a professional insulation contractor who can determine the optimal amount of insulation for your home.
