I wanted it done right. The home inspector told me our new home was well insulated, but our heating costs were too high.
Insta-Insulation identified that insulation in the attic was not properly applied, and was below standard. They applied foam insulation to the skylight area, and increased the insulation in the attic. What a difference.
We have two secondary roofs over the master bedroom and above the garage. On inspection, Insta-Insulation said that the rafters there were visible in those areas and the original installer never bothered to move there to insulate. Nice to have a warm bedroom now.
The service was done very professionally - on time, in short order, minimal clean-up, and at a reasonable price. I was very pleased.

Hello Keith! Your story is one that is all-too-familiar to us but I'm so glad you were willing to share it! As you have discovered, it can be a costly lesson in learning the difference between having enough insulation, vs. having enough insulation that is CORRECTLY INSTALLED. I can't stress enough how important it is to choose an insulation partner with a certified install team to ensure that you end up with not only the right quantity of product, but also the right quality of workmanship - this is where your upfront investment to insulate your home delivers the greatest return! When your heating bills got out of line, you made a great decision to take another look at how your insulation was performing for you - and we can't thank you enough for choosing Insta-Insulation to provide you with a second opinion!
