"Ceiling had numerous holes drilled with sporadic or no pattern, ceiling repair and patching was not part of contract we agreed upon. Took several days to prep and complete two jobs - blowing insulation into vaulted ceiling and spray foam on attic duct work. Workers left attic walkway messy, they came out right after I called and didn't bill me until they until cleaned up."

"Can say enough great things about Ben and his team. These guys showed up on time and were incredibly professional. They did all of the prep work and left the attic cleaner than they found it. Some of the foam came out through this old house and got on to the outside siding. The team not only went up 30 feet on a ladder to get it off - but they also touched up the paint. Amazing A+ work"

"Added additional blown insulation R-30 over garage and office. Very polite, professional and cleaned up after themselves. They are also inspecting our HVAC system and cleaning out the dryer duct and vent. Everyone I have spoken with at this company is extremely nice. Once we received an estimate, they were out the next evening to do the insulation."

Insulation questions, answered by experts

The amount and type of insulation your home needs depends on your location, climate, and the specific installation area (attic, walls, or floors). Your local building code will typically determine the minimum required R-value. For specific recommendations, Energy Star suggests the following R-values: homes in the Southern U.S. should have R30 to R60 in attics and R13 to R25 in floors and walls; homes in moderate climates need R38 to R60 in attics and R25 to R30 in floors and walls; and homes in northern states require R49 to R60 in attics and R25 to R30 in floors and walls.

Yes, spray foam insulation can be applied to your ductwork and effectively insulate your ducts. Blanket insulation is the easiest insulation product to DIY since it is easy to wrap around ducts. However, spray foam insulation can also benefit your HVAC system if applied to air ducts.

The lifespan of crawl space insulation depends on how well you maintain your insulation and the type of insulation. Fiberglass will need replacing every 15 to 20 years on average if you don't have a vapor barrier in place. If you do have vapor barriers in place, then your insulation could last much longer. Spray foam insulation can last anywhere from 80 to 100 years. 

Vapor barriers in attics are a bit outdated and most areas no longer recommend them for attic spaces. For vented attics, the best method is usually to install drywall and cover it with latex paint before attaching insulation fiberglass, cellulose, or foam insulation. When renovating an attic to use as a living space, a contractor can guide you on the best way to cover insulation.

At a minimum, blown-in insulation lasts 20 to 30 years. Cellulose and sheep’s wool come from natural materials, so they likely max out at around 30 years. Fiberglass and rockwool feature artificial materials that boast lengthy lifespans, up to 50 years, or even longer in some cases. As always, this timeline assumes you don’t run into any issues, such as flooding or mold, that shorten the lifespan.
