They took the time to listen attentively and analyze the problem, ensuring they fully grasped the unique challenges of my property. This attention to detail instilled in me a sense of trust and confidence in their ability to provide a customized solution. Throughout the process, the insulation team displayed a remarkable level of professionalism. Their expertise was evident as the very beginning they knew the exact insulation requirements of my property, leaving no stone unturned. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence were truly commendable. What truly sets this insulation company apart is their ability to provide tailored fixes.

"I started this project months ago to completely reinsulate my attic with none of the experience; let me tell you, not a beginner-friendly DIY project. You gotta be Spider-Man to crawl around in my attic space, which I did numerous times. My friend and I spent 3 hours blowing insulation into the attic one morning, making our way through 12 bags of cellulose. After that I called Wallet-Friendly and I'm so glad I did. Martin reassured me with his confidence and plan that they would do a much better and safer job than I ever could. Plus they live up to their name! Two days later Martin and Gary distributed 58 more bags of cellulose in less than 2 hours. But I didn't order enough and we needed more! The cellulose arrived two days later and so did Wallet-Friendly Insulation to finish the job. Just in time for another heat wave!"
"I needed my attic insulation updated. It had the original “blown in” loose material from 1975. After 49 years it had deteriorated and compressed. It was only a few inches deep. Also a leak in our old roof (recently replaced) had caused some mold in the old insulation. It had to be removed completely and redone. I called JB Insulation and asked for an estimate. Jose came over and inspected our attic. His experience and expertise was evident by how he explained everything. I felt very confident that I wanted his company to do the job. His price was very competitive and offered us the most value for our money. On the day of the job, his guys took much care in preparing for the job. They covered and taped our floors and wall corners to protect our home’s interior. They used a high powered insulation vacuum and removed all of the old insulation. They installed the new insulation and new baffles all in one day. Our attic looks great and we are really happy with their work. Yes I would recommend JB Insulation."
A plastic vapor barrier should completely cover your basement to prevent water from penetrating through the walls. This typically goes before installing insulation to prevent moisture from building up and becoming trapped on the inside of your insulation, where it can collect and lead to mold damage. Installing insulation after the vapor barrier allows for any moisture to exit the walls for better ventilation.
You do not always need to remove old insulation before adding new. If the existing insulation is in good condition—not wet, physically damaged, moldy, or infested with pests—you can add new insulation directly on top of it for a compounding effect. You can also mix different types, such as adding blown-in insulation around existing fiberglass batts.
However, removal is recommended if the old insulation is compromised by water damage or pests. You should also remove it if you plan to install a different type of insulation, like switching from roll or batt insulation to spray foam. If the existing insulation is very old or damaged, you will likely get more benefit from removing it and starting fresh.
Ideally, you can add new insulation to your existing insulation. However, some circumstances require you to remove old insulation before adding any new insulation:
Removing old insulation is best left to a pro who can safely dispose of potential moldy or asbestos-ridden insulation.
If you have access to the foundation walls, adding spray foam insulation to your existing unfinished basement or crawl space is straightforward. Replacing existing insulation in your unfinished attic space is possible after removing the old insulation. However, spray foam insulating an existing wall after the drywall is in place isn’t possible unless you remove most of the drywall.
Reflective and high R-value batt or roll insulation are often considered energy-efficient, offering significant thermal resistance benefits.
