"Did a great job. Kept me updated on anything they would find while removing the old insulation and replacing with new. Showed up on time and the crew was polite and hard workers. Recommended them to my neighbor and they will have their
Attic cleaned and replace their insulation also. Highly recommended."
"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."
"They arrived on time and completed the job in less than 3 hours. They installed 3 whirly birds and blew in 12 bags of insulation. I would highly 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."
"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."
"Excellent service! We made an appointment and they got busy and were unable to make it BUT they told me about right away and set a new date. When they arrived they removed all the items in the building even though I told them it was ok. Covered everything in plastic and BOOM awesome insulation that improves the strength of my building. Reasonable price and good work. Thanks, John"
"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!"
Each of the three types of wool insulation has particular disadvantages. While their R-value is higher, they all cost more than fiberglass versions. Installing mineral wool and sheep wool requires protective gear. Because of its vulnerability to insects, chemicals are used in its production. Hemp wool is more costly to install than other types because additional tools and labor are involved.
Insulating a stone house is an expensive and involved process because it requires building a double-walled house. The walls don’t need to be the same thickness, but they both need to be thick enough to handle any structural demands and meet fire and safety standards. The insulation (usually foam or fiberglass) is then installed between the two stone walls.
Minimal but regular checks can ensure maximum thermal performance.
Mineral wool has an excellent life expectancy of up to 50 years, provided it's kept dry and free of pests. Compared to fiberglass, with a life span of 20 to 30 years, mineral wool stacks up well for long-term cost savings. Sheep wool maintains a similar life span to fiberglass, while estimates for hemp wool insulation life expectancies are all over the board, ranging anywhere from 20 to 100 years.
While carpet over carpet may provide some additional insulation and soundproofing benefits, it's not as effective as other methods. Layering carpets can add a modest buffer against noise and temperature fluctuations, but it's limited compared to installing thicker carpet padding or using specialized soundproofing materials. For optimal floor insulation and soundproofing, consider alternative solutions tailored to your specific needs and budget, such as adding additional padding or soundproofing underlayments beneath the carpet.
