"I am extremely pleased with MILEX (MILO insulation). Work was done June 7 & 8, 2021. I have noticed a significant improvement in my home. Very professional, on time, worked nonstop except for a lunch break the first day (removing all old insulation- it was a MESS!). Worked nonstop the 2nd day - blowing in the insulation. I donâ  t hesitate to recommend to anyone and everyone"

"I called them for my garage on a Wednesday, they scheduled me for Saturday morning. Showed up at the time they said. Got right to work. There is no gaps in the metal all are filled. They sprayed 1 in closed cell on walls and roof. The price is unmatched by anyone. Definitely worth calling them. I'd use them again."
"It is a a rare occurrance these days when a company actually provides professional services. The owner, Alvaro, was a pleasure to work with. The employees at BluSky are an amazing group of men, who are clearly skilled craftsman. My house was insulated on the exterior and synthetic stucco was applied. It now looks almost like a real adobe house; with the curves around the windows, etc. I hate to say that I have no complaints whatsoever, as I will be using them again, and with all the postive responses about this company, they are going to be completely booked! "
"The service was quick and efficient. He was even able to provide a piece that was missing that should have come with the air handler. The techs were personable and knowledgeable."
You don’t need to staple insulation, as your drywall and studs will hold it into place. But if you already have a staple gun and staples lying around, it can help keep the product in place and avoid any shifting. But, most experts agree it’s an unnecessary step.
If you’re adding a vapor barrier, you will need to staple that in place.
Whether plaster walls should be insulated depends on whether the walls are at particular risk of moisture problems. In many cases, you can insulate plaster walls, while in others, it's a poor decision because of the lack of a vapor barrier. Choose a reputable insulation contractor to help you decide if and how to proceed to increase your home's energy efficiency.
Cellulose insulation is usually made from recycled paper products, such as old newspapers, but cellulose might also contain recycled denim. While most homeowners traditionally buy cellulose insulation to use for installation, it is possible to make your own at home with old newspapers, cardboard, a paper shredder, and boric acid (important for fireproofing your cellulose insulation materials).
Don’t install insulation near water heaters, oil burners, or any other object that gets hot. Many insulation materials are fire-resistant, but not entirely fire-proof, so you should take precautions to keep hot things away from fiberglass. This is also why it is imperative to box off lighting fixtures and breaker boxes.
Buying a house with vermiculite insulation is not recommended without going through a proper testing process. Vermiculite insulation can potentially contain asbestos, which poses health risks when disturbed. While it is possible to purchase a home with vermiculite insulation, you should have it tested for asbestos, and ensure proper containment if asbestos is present. If asbestos is present, you will want to hire a professional to remove it, ideally before you move in.
