"The Matais team ripped out the old insulation, cleaned the space & installed new insulation as well as vapor barrier. Also installed additional blown in insulation in attic. Accomplished all in one day. Good price & hard workers. Very happy with our experience."
"4 days ago NEW Thank you so much for fixing and adding new insulation to our home. Rafal and eddie did a wonderful job insulating up our attic and fixing the insulation and adding new stuff in the garage and crawl space. If I ever needed to have a insulation job done I know who to call."
"Steve was very helpful and prompt in coming to give us an estimate and also in doing the work. Showed up at the time quoted and did a wonderful job. Cleaned up and vacuumed the area when he finished. I would highly recommend C & M Insulation"
"The crew was very prompt and thoughtful due to the fact that we have a third shift worker. James made sure they were here to blow in attic insulation first then got into the crawl space as quick as possible. Thanks again James for a good job."
"These guys were great. Allen met me at the door with a firm handshake told me what they were about to do and if I had any questions just ask. Leo was just as professional during insulation and got the job done in 3 hours. Dylan kept me up to speed during both projects and was very helpful. Easy reccomendation."
"Price was about average, can't complain - don't remember exactly how much or exact service date (disclaimer). Company screwed up the scheduling. Installer was busy with personal life and we had to work around their schedule. Inconvenient. Came out and sprayed insulation in the garage. They left the door open to the basement so the entire chemical smell inundated the basement. The spray was general even but there seemed to be small holes and spaces generally through out the insulation. When I inquired about the small spaces the response was they generally use the small spray cans you can get at Home Depot\Lowes but that they didn't have any. I said I would take care of it myself, I had enough inconvenience with the screw up in scheduling. Other than that went well - it's not that involved, just spray foam. They did clean up the mess relatively well, but not perfect."
"Value for the money invested was extremely high, would strongly encourage those needed spray foam insulation in their homes or businesses to contact Advanced Spray foam for a price. Great people to deal with !"
"We had an issue where our subfloor was saturated with moisture and completely covered our crawlspace with mold. We thought we were going to have to rip out our kitchen and subfloor. Moisture Solutions responded quickly and offered short term and long term solutions to our situation. We didn't have to rip anything out, saving tons of money, and now our crawlspace looked better than the day we purchased our home."
"These giys came out just as planned..done a great job on spraying my building although it was 90 plus degrees the 2 Days .. they were very professional and cooperative with all my needs!! Highly recommended"

For your safety, you should always wear a mask when cutting batts of fiberglass insulation. We also recommend wearing eye protection, safety gloves, and long sleeves to protect your skin. Properly suiting up helps you avoid several fiberglass issues, such as cuts from the tiny shards of glass and inhaling small bits of fiberglass.
High humidity, bad insulation, warmth from sunlight, and poor circulation are all reasons your home’s hotter inside than out. While this is what you want in the colder months, summer can become unbearable if this is a constant. Try to find the cause, but you need to remember that issues like this require a permanent fix (unless you want to bear down during the summer months).
It is normal for the attic to be hotter than the rest of the house in the summer, but only by about 10 or 20 degrees. Attics that aren’t properly insulated or ventilated can reach temperatures of 130 degrees or more which can cause damage to the home’s structure, including the roof, wood framing, and HVAC system.
Air sealing isn't necessary for attic insulation, but it's incredibly helpful since it can help you identify and patch any existing air leaks. Failing to find these leaks before adding insulation can render your insulation less effective, leading to higher energy bills and potentially costly repairs down the line.
