Best drywall insulation pros near Fredericksburg, VA

"The crew that originally came out were very efficient and friendly. They finished almost everything in the time that was stated. The only thing with them that I was concerned with was that they keep asking me what they were supposed to be doing. They knew that they were supposed to doing insulation but didn't have the details. And when i told them that I would have to go back to my paperwork they said that they would call the project manager. On the 3rd day they needed to do one last thing to an outer wall but couldn't do it because it was too cold and they were concerned that if they tried to remove the siding it would crack. They left on a Wednesday telling me that someone would contact me to come back on Saturday to finish the job. Fast forward to Friday, I get a few missed calls and then text messages saying that they had a crew in the area that wanted to come by in 30 mins. I wasn't home but finished up what I was doing to meet them at my house. When they get there they don't even know what the job is that they are supposed to be doing and don't have a ladder tall enough to reach the area. So they decided that they could do the job from the inside and said that they would need to drill a couple holes in my closets to fill the wall with insulation. They were very admit that that the holes would be repaired and the drywall fixed and painted and that someone in the company would call me and a crew would come out to do the drywall repair. So they do their part and leave. After they leave I realize that they put 6 holes in my wall. Not what i was expected but they did a decent job on plugging the hole back up with the piece of drywall that they removed. I waited for someone to call me about fixing the drywall but they didn't call. So after a week of waiting I called the company to ask about it and the mold remediation issue I was having (more on that in a sec). They seemed unaware on the drywall needing to be fixed and said they would send someone out to look at both things. A few days later someone comes out. They were unaware of the drywall repair but were there to look at the mold issue. Now about the mold issue. I will get back to the drywall in a min. So I paid for them to spray something on a strip of mold that we had in our basement and was told that after it has been sprayed that it would like nothing was ever there. Well after them spraying it twice it still looked awful. The wood looked but as black as before they came. So when these guys came to look at it they said that there was definitely no mold there. the problem was with my wood. So much for it looking like nothing was there. Now i have to hire someone else to sandblast it or something. So after these guys looked at the basement they said that they would look at the drywall. They look at it and are like "oh, i don't think we have the materials on our truck to fix this but I will take a look". They did have the materials and would tape it and mud it but weren't really experienced in drywall repairs but they knew enough to do the job. I should have stopped them right there but I thought it would be okay. Well once the mud dried I could tell what an awful job they had done. I will have to either try to fix it myself or hire someone to do it. And I probably should have called them back again but I am really tired of them sending me people that don't know what the job is before they get to my house and are not prepared. Only getting a C because the first crew was decent."

"I was impressed with the quality and skill of the crew, they knew exactly what to do and the result was excellent. I was extremely impressed with the quality of the insulation, and feel much more comfortable with my home! The foreman was excellent, very skilled, and the turn out was outstanding!"

"After researching and obtaining quotes from a number of companies, I selected The Fifth Fuel to air seal and insulate my attic (blown-in cellulose), cantilevers, and rim-joist. From the initial consultation with Adam to email follow-up, the project and my options were clearly explained. When I asked about putting a higher R-value in my attic, Adam provided the price but explained why it didn't make sense for me. I appreciated that he didn't try to oversell me. The proposal laid out everything they would be doing. The cost was reasonable. It wasn't the lowest bid, but was less than 50% of some other bids. The day of installation, the crew arrived a bit early. Throughout the install they were professional, kind, and clean. They protected the inside and outside of our house and vacuumed afterward. They conducted a blower door test at the end to quantify the difference made by air sealing. Within two hours of them leaving, we've already noticed a difference in our comfort and our A/C is not even running half the time it was before."

"We had astronomical winter heating bills in the first winter in our new (old) home. I hired Shane and his team to install a vapor barrier in my crawlspace, insulation in my basement and to replace my crawlspace doors which were deteriorated and lacked insulation. The quote process was thorough but quick. They scheduled the work quickly as well. On install, they literally unearthed a mountain of construction debris that had collected under the house for who knows how long. They completed the job in just a couple of days and the results were more than impressive. We also chose to replace our windows and the result of both jobs brought our energy bill down by more than 50%. All-in-all we were thrilled with the outcome of the work with Managed Services Group and would highly recommend them to others. Priced fairly and flexible on scope. These guys just get it."

"He gave an accurate assessment of current insulation, extended baffles, and blew in more insulation than required. Final price was less than original quote. Highly recommend Lloyds insulation."

"Highly recommend Marcus from American Home Contractors. Called ahead and let me know he was en-route, was prompt, respected the property, highly efficient and got the job done. Sent photos right away and reviewed work performed."

"The installers were professional and courteous, they cleaned up after themselves and left my home in the same condition as when they arrived. The blown-in insulation has made a noticeable improvement over the temperature on our 2nd floor."

"A 5 ' wide by 4' tall window was installed at front of house where there had not been a window before. When that was completed James Hardie plank siding was installed on the entire house. This included removal of vinyl siding installed by previous owner, removal of house wrap under the vinyl, and removal of the original vertical siding. Under that was insulation and the 2 x 4 studs. Insulation was replaced and any rotted wood 2 x 4's. The house was sheathed with plywood with Hardie wrap over that. Then the Hardie Plank horizontal siding was placed. It took 2 days to remove all the old sidings and sheath the house before the installation of the Hardie Plank which took about 3 and 1/2 days. Only hold up was weather. The previous color of the vinyl siding was a "canvas" color. Very nondescript. The James Hardie Plank color I chose is "Deep Ocean" with white trim. The house looks beautiful and feels so much more solid. The Hardie Plank has a 30 year warranty. The employees of Sunshine Contracting show a great deal of pride and care in their work and were responsive to any questions I had about the process."
