"Great service and a pleasure to work with. The whole process from the initial estimate through the installation of the additional insulation in our attic was easy and fast. Work was completed on time and on budget. They even completed the paperwork for rebates from our local power and gas companies, which knocked about half off the total cost. Would definitely recommend."
"Insulation Northwest did a fantastic job insulating my 1944 house recently, with Drill & Fill in ground-floor walls never before insulated, plus a complete insulation of the second floor attics and interior walls. They were super-careful cutting and drilling my old cedar shakes, replacing them perfectly and caulking them afterwards. They worked around plants without damaging a thing while doing the walls outside. I have old lath and plaster walls but blowing in the fill left not even a hairline crack or any trace on the inside. Much appreciated! They spent two long days at my house and they were clean, friendly, professional, and helpful . This is my second time hiring Insulation Northwest and I give them my highest recommendation."
"I hired the company Lake Atitlan Insulation Llc for the cleaning of my attic and new insulation. I was satisfied with their service. They are very punctual and respectful. I recommend them."
"I was given several recommendations from Angi list, the most professional one of the 4 contacts I received was from David of EVERGREENPRO INSULATION. I needed to have a couple of interior walls insulated for soundproofing done. David was responsive, answered all my questions and gave me a reasonable quote. The other companies I talked to quotes were inline with Davids but the customer service just wasn't there like Davids. I even had one company tell me my project was too small for them to do..... Really? The next insulation project I need done I will just call David from EVERGREENPRO INSULATION and give them the job. A great job done by David and Jamie and would recommend and use them again."
"Unbelievable company such great work. John is one of the best business man I have ever dealt with he deserves 20 stars. And his crew does to if you ever need insulation go here. No place else. Best in the state 👍👍👍👍👍"
"Erick with AG construction came to my rental a week ago. He had the proper equipment to crawl under the house and determine what I needed to fix broken heat pipe, replace vapor barrier and replace insulation from a plumbing leak. I also had signs of rodents. He gave me a bid that was reasonable and was able to have his team on the job within a week.
I stopped by as the work was being done and saw old insulation in bags headed for the dump. The area was left clean and his photos of the job look great. This is a very professional company and I would use them again for any crawl space work."
"I hired Acorn Attics to insulate my house and I couldn’t be more happy with their work. Phil and his crew were on time, friendly and incredibly hard workers. He worked with me on scheduling and made sure to keep our project moving even when we had a setback with another repair. I highly recommend them. They will get the job done. Thank you Acorn Attics and Crawl Spaces!!"

The amount and type of insulation your home needs depends on your location, climate, and the specific installation area (attic, walls, or floors). Your local building code will typically determine the minimum required R-value. For specific recommendations, Energy Star suggests the following R-values: homes in the Southern U.S. should have R30 to R60 in attics and R13 to R25 in floors and walls; homes in moderate climates need R38 to R60 in attics and R25 to R30 in floors and walls; and homes in northern states require R49 to R60 in attics and R25 to R30 in floors and walls.
Insulating ducts prevent or significantly reduce condensation by reducing temperature differences between the duct surface and surrounding air. Proper insulation also minimizes sweating, improves energy efficiency, and prevents moisture damage. However, if humidity levels are unusually high or there are air leaks, additional measures like sealing ducts and using a dehumidifier may be needed.
Plaster itself has a higher R-value than drywall. However, there are other considerations surrounding plaster and insulation. As a general rule, it's easier to obtain consistency in insulating value and quality when working with drywall rather than plaster. Plaster walls often don't contain any insulation behind the wall covering by design, and careful evaluation is necessary when choosing to add it.
For standard 2x4 walls, the ideal insulation has an R-value between R-13 and R-15. This level of insulation, typically around 3.5 inches thick, fits well within the wall cavity. Common options include fiberglass batts and spray foam. The best choice for your home can depend on your climate; use R-value maps, like those from Energy Star, to determine the recommended level for your region. For colder climates, you might also consider adding exterior insulation for greater efficiency. Always check with your local building codes to ensure you meet any required standards.
