"Hire this company. I have a husband who can do everything around the home, yet it never gets done. We've needed attic insulation for a while. I did my due diligence with different companies on Angi's list and by simple google searches. Every other company who contacted me and came for an estimate tried to cheat me. Once David came for his estimate, I was a little beat down and almost canceled him. When he came in at such a better price than everyone else, I put the previous bids in front of him to help me understand. He spent time explaining to me why all the other expenses weren't justified. He was very patient and kind and considerate with me. The installers came on time. They worked exactly the amount of time estimated. My husband came home to a blown attic and really gave a critical once over before saying job well done. He's appreciative to David too. A Better Insulation knows what he is doing. Hire him."
"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!"
"Tech who showed up to do inspection was thorough. Climbed into small attic, took pictures and explained what their findings were. Other inspections (I had 2 more) just popped their heads into the entrance and too my word for what may need to be done. Scheduling with Attic Construction was simple. They showed up on time (early). They let me peak up their as they cleaned up old insulation and remove rodent droppings (biggest concern). They finished within the day as promised and cleaned up after themselves thoroughly. Our home was well protected from dings/damages as they wrapped corners of walls, stairs etc. We have noticed improvement from having only 3.5 inches of insulation to now nearly 14-15 inches. They recommended a "combo" of batt insulation (Around the entrance) and blown in for the rest of the area. This allows you to pop in there with out blown in insulation falling all over the place. They also recommended and performed rodent proofing/sealing. We were sent photos of both before and after their work. I would highly recommend this company."
"After to job was completed the attic looked amazing. The insulation was perfectly level. I was impressed they did an excellent job cleaning up afterwards."
"The representative was very knowledgable about the scope of work. I called him for the replacement of the attic insulation due for rats. I had pest control guy tell me my attic insulation had to be replaced. The rep, Guy, told me that wasn't what I needed. He told me that replacement the attic insulation would not solve my rats. He gave me names of good pest controls. Guy said to contact them before spending thousands of dollars for rats in my attic. Thank you Guy."
"I had an electrical outlet installed on my brick fireplace so I could hang my TV up. I was quoted from another company $600 and would have the outlet box exposed from the brick. I used Enoch and it done for $150. Plug looks great! I'll use Enoch anytime I need electric work done."
The life span of insulation is between 20 and 100 years. At that time, existing insulation can fall victim to gravity, resulting in compression, which reduces its insulating protection or R-value. If you can't simply add more insulation over the existing material, removing the old to increase the effectiveness of the new can reduce your energy bills and make the project worth the time and money investment.
If you feel your energy bills are too high or your HVAC system is working harder than necessary to maintain the correct temperature in your home, you may have an under-insulated home. If you’re unsure, consider having your system’s efficiency assessed by a local independent energy auditor.
Yes, you can install insulation over ductwork, and doing so can save you money. Without insulation, the HVAC unit must work harder to force warm or cool air around the home, and once the air reaches the vent, it may not be the correct temperature. Insulating HVAC ducts makes your system work more efficiently, saving you money on heating and cooling bills.
Yes, doggie doors, like all entrances, can let both hot and cold air into your home. However, as with any door in your house, you can take steps to weather-strip your pet's entrance to prevent air leaks.
Yes, it is possible to have too much insulation, which can have detrimental effects. While more insulation might seem better for energy efficiency, a home needs to "breathe" or ventilate to release moisture that accumulates inside. Over-insulating can seal a house too tightly, trapping water vapor and leading to several problems, including mold, mildew, and condensation. Homes in warm, humid climates are particularly susceptible to mold, while those in colder climates can experience condensation from temperature fluctuations. Additionally, adding more insulation than the recommended amount for your climate may not provide recoverable energy savings. To avoid these issues, consult a professional insulation contractor who can determine the optimal amount of insulation for your home.
