VANCE INSULATION INC

Great people from top to bottom. And great pricing.

I haven't crawled under and looked, but assume everything is fine.

The crew from Vance did a fantastic job. Showed up on-time, got right to work, and applied 1" of closed cell foam to all the walls and ceiling of my barn workshop. These guys are fast and really know their stuff! Great attention to detail, and made sure they hit every crevice to seal the building in preparation for converting it to a conditioned office space. Price was also very competitive. I'll definitely be contacting them again when it's time to redo my crawlspace on the main house.

Very well. Service provided in a timely manner.

We have a finished loft with an attic area on each side. About 1/5 of our attic had no insulation at all, and the rest was not up to grade. The walls that created the loft had fiberglass insulation on the attic side but no back walls to finish them off; and some framing with narrow openings made it very difficult to access one area of the attic. An outside wall had left-over insulation stuffed randomly over it, some of it just hanging half up/half down. The crawl space had insulation that was in good shape, but the floor liner was thin and gaping. I was concerned about possible mold and had learned a little about liners that go up the sides of the crawl space. Other contractors had given me estimates and explained what they thought needed to be done, although each one was different. Some felt there was some mold in the crawl space and that the insulation would have to be removed, the beams sprayed and insulation replaced. They also recommended I get the liners that went up the sides and said I would possibly need a dehumidifier in the crawl space. Robbie Vance made the most sense, explaining why some things actually needed to be done and others didn't. He was very knowledgable, and seemed sincere in choosing the best options for me even if some would mean less money for him. They reworked the frame work in the attic and laid a narrow walkway to make the back of the attic more accessible (this was all at my request). They removed the insulation that was falling off the outside wall explaining that it really wasn't needed since air was coming in through the eaves and gables anyway and the goal was to insulate the living areas. He said insulating the wall was like putting on a coat and then leaving it unzipped. They used those insulation pieces to fill in some of the attic floor, gaps along the walls and to create a better support to insulation over a sky light. They installed styrofoam board to the all the walls that framed the loft area. Robbie explained that the R-value of wall insulation is contingent on there being a wall and the air pocket created within the walls and the insulation. The fact that there was insulation without a wall meant the R-value of that insulation was misrepresented. Also, wall insulation with a paper backing that's not covered is a fire hazard. Then they blew in insulation to the entire attack to upgrade everything to R-38. In the crawl space, Robbie was astonished at the suggestion someone else had made that the insulation should be removed, the beams treated and then the insulation put back in. If the theory was that there was mold, you would have to assume that there was some mold on the insulation and why would you put the damaged insulation back in. At any rate, Robbie felt there was minimal if any mold and the insulation only needed to be shored up. There was no evidence of water issues, so he felt a new, thicker liner was enough; I didn't need the system that went up the sides. He recommended I get an inexpensive humidity monitor and check the crawl space in the summer. I had noticed other air leaks in the house, including around a door and windows in the garage, where wiring entered the house into a cupboard and from the stoves air vent. The technicians looked at everything and sealed anything they were capable of. The stove vent, evidently, needs someone who works with metal to install a new flap. The technicians were very polite, worked diligently and effectively despite the terrible cold temperatures. They cleaned everything up afterward. I never thought an attic could look so good.

Super! Jeff Vance arrived as scheduled went under my crawl space, worked out an estimate, which was reasonable, and I hired him. He called a few days later to set up a time. The installers arrived as scheduled and went right to work. A few hours later they were finished. They even took pictures for me using my cell phone before and after so I could apply for a rebate from the gas Co. The installers were very professional, helpful with information and the pictures. Our floor is not as cold as before. I would definitely hire them again.

Both jobs were done in a professional, timely manner. Vance Insulation provides a quality service with great customer service at a reasonable cost!

They did a fine job at a reasonable price.

Vance insulation did a great job, they were professional and I would definitely hire them again.

The people were pros and very nice to deal with. The work was top knotch.

Robbie Vance came back, assessed the problem, and suggested installing a drain to catch any overflow rain that couldn't soak into the ground under the plastic fast enough. The drain includes a pipe that extends a good distance out from the back of the foundation. His crew did the digging and drilling neatly, redid the plastic they had to cut away, and even covered the end of the drain pipe with mesh after I asked about the possibility of rodents crawling into it. I'm very pleased with the work, and I think it may be the ultimate solution to a years-long problem I've had with water flow in the crawlspace. Robbie and his fine crew stayed on the case until the work was done right. They are now my go-to guys for any work they can do.

Pretty quick work. Vance provided a free estimate, and that estimate was exactly what was charged. two workmen used both batt insulation and blown insulation to add insulation to my attic. the process was done in just under 3 hours. They allowed me to inspect the work, and worked quickly. The house (stairs, carpet, etc) were pretty messy afterwards with the blown insulation (even though they did put down some carpeting at the entrance), so i had to sweep/clean behind them after they left.

Robbie came out and gave an estimate and explained different options I had with the eaves in my house. He gave me an estimate for the insulation for the attic to bring it up to R-38 and how much more it would be for R-49. He gave another estimate to put 1.5" TMAXX applied to slopes and 3/4" styrofoam boards applied to the knewalls. We decided to just do the attic to R-49 at this time. The gentlemen came and did the work and were very professional. I felt very comfortable asking questions and the answers I was given. They were able to schedule my job within three days of accepting the proposal. I would highly recommend them.

High quality service and professionalism. Very responsive to all inquiries; very patient in answering numerous questions to ensure we got the product that was going to provide the sound proofing we were seeking. All of the staff were so pleasant and a pleasure to deal with. Installers were on time, worked diligently and cleaned up once they were done! Highly recommend!

The work was scheduled and executed promptly. The crew was polite. My only concern was that the initial assessment said I'd need baffles for the eaves and then the crew on site didn't seem prepared for that and said they weren't necessary, so I'm not sure who was right or if there was some reason for the change.

Vance was great to work with and their crew was very professional and efficient. I would recommend their services to anyone. On top of being reasonably priced, they were honest and very respectful of my home. Our house is now better insulated and we can already feel the difference!

Mr. Vance was so pleasant and professional. Within 48 hours of contacting him via their website, he assessed my attic and explained that the attic was not the cause of my ceiling tape and seams coming undone. I appreciate his time and honesty. I highly recommend him!

The assessment went well, in that Robert Vance arrived on time, took adequate time to assess the space, and explained a proposal for work that fit my objective very well. A written work order followed promptly and a date was set for installation. An earlier day became available, much to my relief as a cold snap was arriving that very night. I could not be present, and that was a big mistake. The installation varied greatly from the proposal delivered in person and also from the written work order. Robert had certain deficiencies corrected and other things he totally rejected. I had to do some of the corrective work myself. The lasting issue is a crawlspace door for which the work order specifies a named product appropriate for ground contact and instead the whole thing lacks any such component. My experience shows that the consumer needs to take careful notes when the work proposal is first stated, and then compare those notes to the work order. Installation needs to be done with the consumer present and ready to speak up to ensure conformance to the work order.

What a great experience! Robbie promptly responded to my inquiry, quickly scheduled a site visit and quickly provided me an estimate. The job was insulation of about 750 square feet (3 rooms) which is in a basement space we are in the process of finishing. I was able to schedule the job within a time-frame that was mutually convenient for both of us. Robbie patiently explained the pros and cons of different insulation products, recommended what he thought was best for our job and was very flexible when we decided to increase the R-factor ceiling insulation - ultimately altering his original scope and estimate slightly. He and his crew worked efficiently, quickly and neatly. They arrived when on time and left when they said the job would be completed. They were very conscientious in double-checking their work, making sure everything was done right, and all cracks were properly caulked/sealed. The degree of professionalism displayed exceeded my expectations. I would absolutely recommend Vance Insulation and would hire Robbie again in a heart-beat. In fact, after the holidays, we hope to get his input on evaluating the insulation in our attic.

He was very good and very honest. He said that I actually have insulation in my wall and I just did not know if I had it in there. I trust hem and he seem to be very knowledgeable. He could probably make some money from me but he told me the truth. It did not cost me anything.

First off the Vance brothers know how to do business . Other companies could use a training course from these guys . Always return your calls promptly, always professional, always a fair price . I would not use anyone else for my insulating needs . They treat you like family . 2 employees came to do job were very polite and courteous . They worked very hard the entire time making sure I was happy and liked the job they were doing . They even helped me load my storage containers back into the attic . First class operation all the way . I only wish all companies were like this .

We were away the day it was going to be done. When we returned I checked their installation and it was what I paid for. They left an invoice. Did exactly what I required them to do. Very polite and professional.

The guys arrived on time and were very pleasant. They put a large tarp on the ground outside and were able to pass the insulation out through the attic window so that none of it got in the living quarters. They also closed the attic pull down stairs at one point to contain the lose insulation in the attic. I thought that there might be pieces of insulation on the driveway or in the yard after they left, but they did a great job of cleaning up and left no debris. They did a good job with the mastic as well. I was happy with the job and will contact them again for future insulation jobs.

Vance is a local family-run operation. I asked for estimates for several crawl space insulation issues identified by home inspector. After providing an estimate for several items, Mr Vance patiently explained which fixes were important and which ones were not necessary. Based on his recommendation, we settled on a less expensive option. I was very impressed with his honesty and professionalism...based on this I decided not to get any other estimates. I would definitely use Vance Insulation again.

Mr. Vance called to schedule the appointment to give me an estimate on work I had requested. He was friendly and professional and arrived promptly for the appointment. He gave me a written estimate of repairs and also emailed the estimate to me. Mr. Vance explained what insulation work was needed and explained in detail the line items of his estimate. He did not try to pressure me into having the work done. I called the next day and asked him to schedule the work to be done. He and/or his crew arrived as scheduled and Mr. Vance kept me informed of the job's progress. He was able to work around my schedule which I appreciated. I'm satisfied with the work than was done and would recommend his services to others.
