"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."
"My husband and I are very pleased with all of the work Homeland Energy did in our attic. The job took two days. Day one involved removing the old inadequate insulation and framing for the new decking. Day two involved finishing the decking, installing a new solar fan, blowing in new fiberglass insulation, and cleaning the air ducts. The workers had good attention to detail, were careful moving around our house, and cleaned up after themselves. Everyone was friendly and able to answer all of our questions. The house feels so much better now with the attic in good shape. We highly recommend this company."
"Very pleased. They explain the process and the need that we had in our attic for the new insulation. They were also helpful in applying for an energy credit from CPS the local power utility. "
"Fort Worth house was FANTASTIC! Our house was an extremely tough job on an excessively scorching hot day. They did a beautiful job. I did have to have them come back and blow insulation where the crawl space to the other half of the house is located. It was understandable to have assumed we wanted it clear of insulation. Since we rarely go up in the attic, it was okay to fill the crawl space with "the pink stuff." They came the next day or so after I called. No hassles, no complaining, no trying to charge me extra for having to come back. They were wonderful! I've recommended them to some 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 "
"They were great. I hired them to remove old insulation and install new insulation. They discovered serious issues with my a/c duct work. They rearranged their schedule to come back and make repairs to the ducts. They were lifesavers."
"Ruben and Octavio were patient with me in explaining everything they found in the audit, answered my many questions, and ultimately went well above and beyond what I had originally asked them to do, helping to clean our vents. After spotting several leaks in my insulation, causing dust to get into our vents, they sealed them with foam, and went to great lengths to clean-up and leave the house spotless after finishing. These guys are very honest, prompt, and I will absolutely hire again and refer to friends."
"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. "
Most homeowners installing blown-in insulation as a one-off DIY project should simply rent a blower. They tend to be very heavy, and contractor-grade machines can cost $13,000 to $16,000.
Selling a house with spray foam insulation can be challenging due to concerns about improper installation or its compatibility with the home's structure. If not applied correctly, spray foam can cause issues such as moisture buildup, cracking, or damage to wiring and plumbing. If the insulation didn't cure correctly, there are also flammability concerns. Removing or repairing this type of insulation can pose risks as well.
The lifespan of crawl space insulation depends on how well you maintain your insulation and the type of insulation. Fiberglass will need replacing every 15 to 20 years on average if you don't have a vapor barrier in place. If you do have vapor barriers in place, then your insulation could last much longer. Spray foam insulation can last anywhere from 80 to 100 years.
R-30 insulation is better for higher thermal resistance, but whether it’s "better" depends on the application. R-30 is much thicker and suited for areas like attics or floors in cold climates, where more insulation is required. R-13, on the other hand, is thinner and works well for 2x4 walls or milder climates where less insulation is sufficient. Choosing between R-13 and R-30 depends on the area being insulated and the climate. For example, R-30 provides more insulation but may not fit everywhere in your home.
Energy-efficient homes generally have higher appraisals and appeal to buyers.
