"I had an emergency and JR Insulation Drywall did an amazing job. I had just sold my house, and in the process of moving, the movers broke a pipe that had to be repaired behind a wall on the day we gave possession to the new owners. I called JR Insulation Drywall and they were there the same day I called and did a wonderful job of the repair. Responsive, quality, and for a great price. Would definitely hire again if I needed help. I so appreciated their help in a stressful time for me."
"On day 1 they removed (sucked out) 3 levels (and three different types) of insulation. They were very neat and cleaned up afterward. They showed me pictures of the cleared attic. On day 2 they blew in new insulation, sealed an unused vent (which was causing a draft) and installed a new attic hatch (old one was broken, unsealed and not insulated causing a draft). Everything was done as agreed and in the timeline expected. They are also a partner with Energy Trust of Oregon which is a bonus."
"Insulate attic kneewalls; blow in ceiling insulation. Good knowledgeable estimator. Good installers. Professional job, clean afterwards. I'd hire them again."
"Westside Drywall was the only firm willing to do what I requested, which was to repair and not replace under-floor insulation. As a result, their price was much lower. An added bonus was that they could schedule the job in a few days instead of a few weeks or months."
"I got a rebate from the state for having this service done. Their were two men that came out and they were able to get it done within two days. They put insulation in under our home and in the attic. I did notice a difference in our home after this. They were very professional and you could not even tell they were there."
"I bought the $99 furnace service in October for a furnace that was going in and out and also needed cleaned, as well as to see if there were any parts that would help it work better. The igniter was replaced, although I thought the price a little high at $275, not including the servicing purchase. The furnace worked fine until January when it quit completely (as we had kind of anticipated although the furnace was not ancient, it was 12 or so, and no fault of Sun Glow, a different part froze up). I got an estimate from a couple of companies and ended up picking another for the new furnace, primarily due the the other installer measuring the rooms in the house and checking the insulation properties of the windows rather than basing it on a square footage estimate alone. From what I have read, our old furnace was too big for the house and that may have contributed to it's earlier than expected demise. The new one is much lower in BTUs, and both companies provided estimates with a smaller furnace than we had previously, but Sun Glow picked a larger one that than was eventually installed. Pricing appeared similar, but hard to tell with different brands and sizes of furnaces, filters, etc. in the estimates. The estimater was professional, prompt, and came at very short notice. So although, I didn't chose this company, I had no problems with their service work and would call them again for another estimate. "
"We hired J&l ProBuild for an insulation project. They came up with creative solutions, did the work quickly and thoroughly, and were extremely economical. Would highly recommend working with these folks. Weâ ll hire them again in the future."
"It went really well, we had a few days of really wet and cold weather but I was completed pretty close to the agreed date at the end of 2019. We are so happy with the efficiency of the insulation that came with the siding and we have already saved hundreds of dollars on energy bills. We stayed nice and cool all summer long and now that we've turned the heat on, its amazing how toasty warm it stays even when the heat shuts off at night. Dabella was the best investment we ever made. And our sales rep Ian, has become a good friend to us. Yes, we recommend Dabella! If you want it done right, on time, with good quality materials and professional expertise. Nico and Seth Cordova"

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.
A radiant barrier is a form of insulation topped with a reflective material designed to keep homes cool during hotter months. It is generally considered worth the investment if you live in a hot, sunny climate, as the cost can be recouped over time through lower energy bills. Installation costs typically range from $0.10 to $1 per square foot. After installation, homeowners in warm climates may save between $7 and $15 per month, potentially reducing their electric bill by 5% to 10%. The exact savings will vary depending on your location and the type of barrier chosen.
The cost to install a radiant barrier ranges from $700 to $2,800, depending on the size of your roof and the type you choose. Most people pay an average of $1,700 to install a radiant barrier. Foil options, both single- and double-sided, cost between $0.10 and $0.90 per square foot, while spray-on options start at $0.60 and go all the way up to $1 per square foot—which can add up quickly.
Durable materials suited for climate include aluminum for coastal areas or composite wood in varying environments for durability and minimal upkeep.
