"The project went well. The ladder install made a big mess but all was cleaned up. Decking install was good but area had to be reduced due to obstacles but still turned out to be plenty. Insulation was blown in and that also went well. I had some low gable vents that leaked the insulation that was blown up to them. I don’t think this could have been avoided, but that leakage blew back inside the back door and made a mess in the laundry room and kitchen. They offered to come back and clean this up but I went ahead and did the cleanup myself so it didn’t get tracked throughout the house. All things considered, I am very pleased with the job they did."
"Kenny and Chase were great! They were on time, professional and did a great job. They cleaned up everything! We are so pleased with the spray foam and would totally recommend them!!!"

"Everyone from sales to installation is great to work with. Friendly, professional, and genuinely interested in doing what was right for our home. Chris and his crew removed old insulation, sealed around vents, and installed new MILO insulation. We had 2500 square feet of attic space that the job took 2.5 days to complete. The entire team was respectful of our property, everything was cleaned up after each day. Chris was excellent to make sure everything was completed properly, any concerns he took care of them. Highly recommend Milo Insulation."
Garage door insulation can last anywhere from 20 to 100 years depending on the type of insulation. Cellulose has the shortest lifespan coming in at between 20 and 30 years, while spray foam, mineral wool, and fiberglass can last between 80 and 100 years with proper maintenance.
Humidity plays a role in how long more susceptible insulation materials—like fiberglass—last. Once fiberglass batts reach the 15-year mark, you'll need to routinely inspect your insulation to ensure that it is in mint order.
Minimal, mainly occasional checks for damage or mold in extreme conditions.
Blown-in insulation works, but only for unfinished attics. Also, it isn’t the longest-lasting nor the most effective option. For better options, look into spray foam insulation or natural fiber batts. They typically have a longer lifespan, better heat resistance, and stronger sound-proof abilities. Spray foam insulation costs about $1.25 to $1.50 per square foot, but can go up to more than $4 per square foot. Fiber batt pricing varies depending on the material.
While carpet over carpet may provide some additional insulation and soundproofing benefits, it's not as effective as other methods. Layering carpets can add a modest buffer against noise and temperature fluctuations, but it's limited compared to installing thicker carpet padding or using specialized soundproofing materials. For optimal floor insulation and soundproofing, consider alternative solutions tailored to your specific needs and budget, such as adding additional padding or soundproofing underlayments beneath the carpet.
Yes, insulating your cold water pipes is a great way to prevent condensation. When warm, humid air meets cold pipes, condensation forms, which can drip and cause moisture issues in your home. Pipe insulation acts as a barrier between the warm air and the cold pipes, keeping condensation at bay and helping you avoid potential problems like mold or structural damage.
