"We previously had Top Gun Attic Pros replace the fiberglass insulation in our house attic. The work was incredible, the product was perfect and they were great people to work with. We were so impressed that we told our contractor that we would select our own spray foam installers (of course it was Top Gun Attic Pros) for the barn we were building. Once again John and Top Gun exceeded our expectations. One thing I didn't mention was that their pricing was VERY competitive, but I would have paid a premium for their quality of work."
"My 1950, 860 ft house had 20+ yr old dusty, pink insulation, that was even worse after the city revamped utility vaults & pushed rats into the neighborhood. I chose S.R Insulation to vacuum out, caulk open voids, and re-blow insulation. The owner set up an appointment quickly. On the day of service, he did call 15 minutes late to advise of an issue. The 3 person team arrived within an hour, set up the vacuum and bags, then removed insulation; original, wood-shingle slips; and ducting left by A/C techs. They worked between 3 to 4 hours and said they would return next business day. The two part installation, gave me an idea - I asked for an extension, so I could repair ceiling sheet rock while the attic was void. The owner agreed. He did not require partial payment. Three weeks later, I rescheduled. The install was even quicker, filling up to the stud height in white, blown insulation. He leaves behind a cardboard measuring stick to show you. The difference inside the house was immediate. I will not provide calculations, as I added front load washer/dryer to the electric usage at this same time. Later, I found my stove top vent fan blocked. I was able to pull out material from the duct, and the fan worked. Therefore I did not call the owner about this. I paid less than $1500, and thought it fair. I would use S.R. Insulation again and recommend them."
"I live in a old house, and the insulation on the attic needs to be added. City of Austin Utilities (Austin Energy) has a great rebate program for insulation, so I signed up. EnergyAttic is one of the companies listed by Austin Energy. For getting the quote, the audit person was friendly and through with his explanation about what's and why's. Finally I scheduled for the work. Kent came with his crews and basically supervised and worked on the problem and the insulation. He made sure everything was installed (seal, insulation) properly and Austin Energy auditor approved the work. The door blower/blast test took a while because of setting issue (EnergyAttic subcontracted to other company), and finally after 3 hours, we did get an excellent result. I was happy with Kent's and his crews work. They were friendly, punctual, and got the work done. They actually came back to reseal door on the furnace area. They also promised to come back if I were to work on the attic and the insulation needed to be re-sweep."
"Very pleased with everything about this project. Price was lower than two other quotes and everyione associated with DFW home Insulation was very professional and friendly. I got cards from them and will be very happy to hand then out to neighbors and friends."
"This September I had a home energy audit through Fulkrum Insulation. They said we needed some Ductwork changes and more insulation in the attic. Since having those solutions installed, my electric bill has been dramatically lower than ever before."
"Lance came out and gave me a bid for adding insulation in my attic along with a solar attic fan. I was very pleased with the whole process from the initial bid to the final product. We are waiting on better weather to add the attic solar fan. I could not be more pleased with Lance and his company employees. I will only recommend this company to others in the future. It's always a pleasure to deal with courteous and professional contractors "
"Job (duct and dryer vent cleaning, as well as blowing insulation into attic) was completed in 3 hours. They did a great job with before and after pictures done as well! My husband and I will hire them again for all of our properties!"
"Stuart is very knowledge about HVAC units and tries to repair versus replacement. Extraordinary customer relations.
Also scheduled adding new insulation. His work is reliable. We had a few hiccups on the timeline of getting replacement unit installed due to call load. We plan to use him for normal maintenance going forward. "
A vapor barrier can last over 20 years, but they are vulnerable to pests, flooding, and other natural disasters. If your home weathers a storm or is treated for any pest infestation, make sure to have a drywall pro come check the integrity of your vapor barrier. It’s also important to have a pro install a vapor barrier since improper installation can lead to tears or leaks in the barrier that shorten its lifespan.
The lifespan of insulation depends on the material type. Fiberglass can last between 80 and 100 years, but it is important to start checking it around the 15-year mark. Spray foam has a lifespan of up to 100 years, and mineral wool can last up to 100 years. Cellulose, an eco-friendly option, has a lifespan of 20 to 30 years.
One of the clearest signs that your insulation isn’t working as well as it should be is a noticeable difference in temperature throughout your home. One room might feel icy while another is hot as Arizona—this indicates that some parts of your home are either retaining or losing heat more than others. Additionally, a sudden increase in your energy bills, evidence of pests or rodents, or evident water damage are other signals that warrant a thorough inspection of your insulation and potential replacement.
The primary downside of radiant barriers is their limited effectiveness in cold climates. They are designed to reflect radiant heat, making them less beneficial in cooler conditions where heat retention is more important.
Radiant barriers require proper installation to maximize effectiveness. Incorrect placement can lead to minimal benefits. They also do not provide insulation, meaning they should be used in conjunction with traditional insulation for optimal energy efficiency.
Closed-cell foam may come with a higher price tag, but it’s worth the investment because of its strength and durability. This material offers excellent thermal and moisture resistance, contributing to its long life span. Its construction enhances energy efficiency, which can lead to reduced heating and cooling costs over time.
