"They were very professional and did an amazing job. Miguel and his crew removed all of the old blown in insulation that was below the recommended depth. Fixed leaks and filled in spaces that were letting in the cold and blow in new fiberglass insulation to the proper depth. Immediately we felt the difference in our home. I'd highly recommend them."
"I have been a license bonded contractor for the last 35 years. We built some of your better custom homes and I have used several different insulation companies to include spray foam during this time. This company gave me more, better coverage, to include all cracks and seams, and did a through clean-up afterwards, what more could anyone ask for, they are good. I would highly recommend them to my family and friends, not just the quality but the estimate was several hundred dollars cheaper than the other 2 estimates that I had gotten for the same square footage of coverage. Save time and money and call them, by the way, I never heard of this company until I called Home Advisor. Jim"

We were so very happy to know that we can survive this winter financially with adequate insulation in our attic. Call Angi List today if you are searching for someone for your attic needs, Martins Home Solutions will not disappoint."
Mineral wool has an excellent life expectancy of up to 50 years, provided it's kept dry and free of pests. Compared to fiberglass, with a life span of 20 to 30 years, mineral wool stacks up well for long-term cost savings. Sheep wool maintains a similar life span to fiberglass, while estimates for hemp wool insulation life expectancies are all over the board, ranging anywhere from 20 to 100 years.
You do not always need to remove old insulation before adding new. If the existing insulation is in good condition—not wet, physically damaged, moldy, or infested with pests—you can add new insulation directly on top of it for a compounding effect. You can also mix different types, such as adding blown-in insulation around existing fiberglass batts.
However, removal is recommended if the old insulation is compromised by water damage or pests. You should also remove it if you plan to install a different type of insulation, like switching from roll or batt insulation to spray foam. If the existing insulation is very old or damaged, you will likely get more benefit from removing it and starting fresh.
Actually, condensation can mean that your windows are more energy efficient because the seal keeps cold air out and warm air in. In some cases, windows with poor seals can lead to more condensation, but they may allow the cold and warm air to mix and reduce condensation. If you’re worried about whether or not your windows are properly insulated, have a pro assess them.
Chimney liners often benefit from insulation, though it is not always required. Insulation helps improve the liner's efficiency by keeping flue gasses hotter, which enhances draft and reduces creosote buildup. It also prevents condensation, which can lead to corrosion. Insulation is important for chimneys on exterior walls or in colder climates. Some building codes may require insulation, so checking local regulations is essential.
Winterizing your outdoor plumbing keeps your outdoor spigot from freezing and potentially bursting. This includes draining residual water out of the pipe and spigot after turning the valve off, then removing garden hoses and other attachments from the spigot before winter comes. Insulating the pipe that leads to the spigot and installing a freeze-proof faucet also help, as does installing an outdoor faucet protector.
