"The technician who came was a pleasant, competent professional who examined the unfinished attic to evaluateit w/r/t insulation only or insulation as part of a full finishing of the space. He took measurements and scratched out some information on his pad.. I told him that I intended to review my options before any decision. I offered payment at that time and he told me there was no charge for this service. It struck me as odd that he told me that what I had agreed to pay $19.00 for was actually free but I asumed billing would accompany an actual report/proposal. A month on I've never seen anything like a report although I have been charged via credit card for the inspection service. Perhaps the report-recommendation is still on its way? PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS REVIEW FORM REQUIRES A YES/NO HIRE AGAIN RESPONSE. I WOULD HAVE PREFERRED TO ANSWER UNDECIDED."

"Roberto was the technician and he was very professional, polite, and personable. He inspected the rest of our system and told us things that needed to be changed or repaired. He showed me pictures of everything. Everything he told me about was accurate. He quoted me a price for R38 insulation , Some of our ducts were plastic and he recommended them to be changed. I agreed completely and didn't know they were plastic. I would have had them done the work but I had no price comparisons to make and besides I didn't have the money right then. So he just finished the vent cleaning and left his card. He did a great job on the vent cleaning and was happy with the work."

"We have had an intermittant water problem in our basement primarily when it rains heavily in the Winter. I was very happy with the quick response from Mike Sears when we initially called to ask about repairing a water leak problem in our basement. Mike explained how his proposed solution would work to alleviate the water problem. Mike left us with a detailed estimate and informational materials about the proposed repair. He also explained what wasn't included in the job such as tearing out the current sheetrock, insulation and framing from the wall. I did this part of the work and the reconstruction after the drain had been installed. We spoke to Mike a few days later, agreed to the price and set a date for the repair. On the scheduled date, two of Mikes employees arrived on time and began to prep for the repair. They did a good job of hanging plastic sheeting around their work area so that the dirt and dust would not get into the rest of the basement. We had discovered a crack in the basement wall which wasn't visible when the original estimate was given. Scott Lee gave us a written estimate to repair it with carbon-fiber cloth and sealant. While this was an unexpected expense, there was no reason to put in a drain and leave a crack in the wall. Taking out a basement floor with a jackhammer and installing a drain is a hard, dirty job. Scott and his co-worker completed this job in about 6 1/2 hours including the additional work for the wall crack. They did a good job of cleaning up the old concrete and all working materials Scott explained how the pump would work when the water table under the house rose. My only issue with quality was the uneven concrete finish work on the basement floor above the drain. Because this was leveled by hand, there is a somewhat noticeable depression in this area of the floor. Overall, I am happy with the work and looking forward to a dry basement when the rains come this spring.
It improves energy efficiency, reduces noise, enhances indoor comfort, and prevents drafts by filling wall cavities.
It depends on your needs and preferences, though many homeowners think it is worth it. Not only is blown-in insulation easy to install, but it is highly efficient with thermal regulation. Most types are mold-resistant, flame-resistant, insect-resistant, and, most importantly, completely safe.
The lifespan of insulation depends on the material type. Fiberglass can last between 80 and 100 years, but it is important to start checking it around the 15-year mark. Spray foam has a lifespan of up to 100 years, and mineral wool can last up to 100 years. Cellulose, an eco-friendly option, has a lifespan of 20 to 30 years.
A DIY blown-in insulation project in a typical attic should take you no more than a week to complete. Experienced homeowners can blow an entire attic in one or two days.
Garage door insulation can last anywhere from 20 to 100 years depending on the type of insulation. Cellulose has the shortest lifespan coming in at between 20 and 30 years, while spray foam, mineral wool, and fiberglass can last between 80 and 100 years with proper maintenance.
Humidity plays a role in how long more susceptible insulation materials—like fiberglass—last. Once fiberglass batts reach the 15-year mark, you'll need to routinely inspect your insulation to ensure that it is in mint order.
