"Great job by these guys. Very good price quoted for the project and did not try to sell anything extra. Very professional from quote to cleanup. Would highly recommend ABI for your insulation needs!"
"After checking out several insulation companies, I chose to hire Elite Insulation Specialist. I am very pleased with my decision. Their price was by far the best and I felt like they were very honest and straight forward. The guys arrived early to the appointment and we’re done in less than an hour. They were friendly and professional throughout the entire process. I will be recommending Elite I dilation to friends and family."
"This company was awesome. They did above and beyond what I expected for my insulation needs and the price couldn't be beat. The work crew were very friendly and didn't complain at all about the grueling Texas heat! I highly recommend Fulkrum Roofing and Insulation!"
"I wanted insulation blown in above the ceiling of my condo to lessen the noise from my neighbors above. Darren was very responsive and professional and knew exactly what I was looking for. The crew arrived on time, was very nice, and covered the house in plastic sheeting to protect everything from the incredible amount of dust created by drilling dozens of holes in the ceiling to shoot the insulation. Their subcontractor Robert arrived the next day to repair the holes and repaint the ceilings. He also was able to install can lights in my living room (separate job and quote from the job Attic Construction was doing). During installation of the lights, we discovered that some of the cavities that should have been filled by new insulation were not, due to a problem with the old insulation. One call to Darren and the insulation guys showed up early the next morning to take care of it. Robert the drywall guy and his helper Carlos did an amazing job repairing all the holes, you can't even tell that my ceiling looked like swiss cheese at one point. The reduction in sound coming from upstairs is noticeable due to the new insulation and I love my new lights. Be aware though that a job like this is incredibly messy and dusty but Attic Construction OC made it as easy as possible."
"This was one of the only companies who would come in and blow in insulation JUST ABOVE a new project area. Other companies wanted to blow in insulation in the whole attic, not the small addition I had completed. Like other reviews, he took before and after pictures. I appreciated that they were on-time, thorough and efficient in completing my little project."
"John with Attic Fanatics was great! Very comfortable talking with them about all of my attic concerns..including insulation replacement and some of the roof vents. They showed up on-time and did a great job! Thank you Attic Fanatics"
"They were a bit over the rest of the company’s that I had out. But the pease of mind that I had knowing that they were going to do it right was worth it. During the bid Mike answered all my questions before I was even able to ask them. Made a great impression on me. They also worked well with me removing my old insulation myself. PLUS , they hauled off the old stuff for me at a great price!! Thx guys!"
Exposed ductwork can sweat just like ductwork placed behind walls, sometimes even more so. Ductwork sweats—like a cold drink on a hot day—because of a temperature imbalance between the air in the duct and the air in the room. In a crawl space or wall, this temperature can equalize faster due to the small space but in lofts and open rooms, that wouldn’t happen as quickly. Many people insulate their ducts for this reason.
It depends on your needs and preferences, though many homeowners think it is worth it. Not only is blown-in insulation easy to install, but it is highly efficient with thermal regulation. Most types are mold-resistant, flame-resistant, insect-resistant, and, most importantly, completely safe.
Insulating windows without plastic is usually the better method. Outside of simply replacing your windows, you could buy cellular shades, which trap air between the window and the home, add a window film that blocks UV rays and traps heat, or cover your windows with a low-emissivity coating called “low-E.”
Yes, you can use too much bubble wrap. If you overdo it with the wrapping, it can strain the top of your box and break open the taped seal, risking the chance that the contents of the box could fall out or break. Use enough wrapping to fully cover your item without compromising the security of your box.
On average, insulating an attic costs about $2,500, with a typical range of $1,500 to $3,500. The final price often depends on the attic's size, with costs generally falling between $1 to $3 per square foot. For example, insulating a 1,800-square-foot attic would likely cost between $1,800 and $5,400.
If the project involves removing old insulation, this can add an average of $900 to the total cost, bringing a full removal and reinsulation project to around $3,000.
Several factors influence the overall cost:
Insulation Type: Prices per square foot vary significantly by material.
Reflective: $0.50–$1.50
Blown-in: $1–$4
Batt: $2–$4
Loose-fill: $2–$5
Spray foam: $2–$5
Structural insulated panels (SIPs): $4–$7
Project Complexity: Factors like sealing air leaks, poor attic accessibility, and required inspections can add to the cost.
Removal Issues: The discovery of mold, asbestos, or pests during the removal of old insulation can substantially increase the price.
