"The crew that originally came out were very efficient and friendly. They finished almost everything in the time that was stated. The only thing with them that I was concerned with was that they keep asking me what they were supposed to be doing. They knew that they were supposed to doing insulation but didn't have the details. And when i told them that I would have to go back to my paperwork they said that they would call the project manager. On the 3rd day they needed to do one last thing to an outer wall but couldn't do it because it was too cold and they were concerned that if they tried to remove the siding it would crack. They left on a Wednesday telling me that someone would contact me to come back on Saturday to finish the job. Fast forward to Friday, I get a few missed calls and then text messages saying that they had a crew in the area that wanted to come by in 30 mins. I wasn't home but finished up what I was doing to meet them at my house. When they get there they don't even know what the job is that they are supposed to be doing and don't have a ladder tall enough to reach the area. So they decided that they could do the job from the inside and said that they would need to drill a couple holes in my closets to fill the wall with insulation. They were very admit that that the holes would be repaired and the drywall fixed and painted and that someone in the company would call me and a crew would come out to do the drywall repair. So they do their part and leave. After they leave I realize that they put 6 holes in my wall. Not what i was expected but they did a decent job on plugging the hole back up with the piece of drywall that they removed. I waited for someone to call me about fixing the drywall but they didn't call. So after a week of waiting I called the company to ask about it and the mold remediation issue I was having (more on that in a sec). They seemed unaware on the drywall needing to be fixed and said they would send someone out to look at both things. A few days later someone comes out. They were unaware of the drywall repair but were there to look at the mold issue. Now about the mold issue. I will get back to the drywall in a min. So I paid for them to spray something on a strip of mold that we had in our basement and was told that after it has been sprayed that it would like nothing was ever there. Well after them spraying it twice it still looked awful. The wood looked but as black as before they came. So when these guys came to look at it they said that there was definitely no mold there. the problem was with my wood. So much for it looking like nothing was there. Now i have to hire someone else to sandblast it or something. So after these guys looked at the basement they said that they would look at the drywall. They look at it and are like "oh, i don't think we have the materials on our truck to fix this but I will take a look". They did have the materials and would tape it and mud it but weren't really experienced in drywall repairs but they knew enough to do the job. I should have stopped them right there but I thought it would be okay. Well once the mud dried I could tell what an awful job they had done. I will have to either try to fix it myself or hire someone to do it. And I probably should have called them back again but I am really tired of them sending me people that don't know what the job is before they get to my house and are not prepared. Only getting a C because the first crew was decent."

"Person who visited was very polite and noted that what I purchased was likely not something that would meet my expectations.  I wanted an energy audit, how my systems could be improved in home, lighting, heating, insulation and air conditioners.  What I got was a list of things they could work on and the price to do that work.  The work list in no way was considered an energy audit, rather it was a punch list of things I could do based on their visual inspection.  I did not have a comparison of work and benefit/savings calculation.  There was no checklist of inefficiencies and how that translated into energy losses. For example, multiple hi hat lights in house, they spoke about boxing and insulating a few, less than 10, when I have almost 90 in house.  Overall I was disappointed, the tech who came said the offering needed to be better presented prior to start of work."

"We had a horrendous situation with a basement floor installation that went wrong leaving our house full of fumes, and a week later we discovered our basement was contaminated by asbestos in the process.  When we called Bill and Contractors Unlimited, they were extremely responsive.  Although other companies gave us bids, Bill was able to work his schedule to fit us in weeks sooner than the others.  Although the cost was a bit more, that saved us money because we were displaced and could not even go into our house because of the fumes.  CU set up negative air machines to replace the air, they followed asbestos abatement laws, they cleaned every item that could be salvaged in our house.  They even saved more than we thought which really reduced our overall expense.  Bill and his team were extremely professional, friendly, helpful, and really went out of their way to ease our stress from this situation.  At the end of their process, Bill arranged for a air quality inspection which we happily passed - able to return home.  I would gladly recommend Contractors Unlimited for asbestos abatement.  I just wish we had called them before the floor guys  created such a disaster.  Thank you Bill!

"The busy office staff was friendly and professional. My calls and emails were promptly returned.
(We did have a minor communication snafu, which we were able to resolve.)
Our estimate was scheduled, and Jack came to our home to provide it.
He answered all our questions and left a detailed proposal. Once we signed and returned the proposal, the 2-day work was scheduled for 2 weeks out. A snowstorm delayed the start date one more week.

Day 1 -
Jason and Justin arrived on time. The first job was insulating some of our basement ceiling copper pipes to help them resist freezing. (One pipe had frozen and burst in February's extended cold snap. It was repaired by a plumber, thus the drywall repair.)
The second job was replacing the drywall.
It was suggested that I remove the stairwell art so they could bring in the sheet of drywall without harming the art.
After the drywall was done, they removed the debris.

After hearing that I was concerned about drywall dust that could result from tomorrow's sanding, Jason gave me a suggestion to minimize the amount of dust: turn off the heat during sanding, and open the windows.

Day 2 -
The workers arrived as promised.
The office called to make sure I was pleased so far, and that the work was going as planned.
The sanding of the drywall, of course, generated dust, but they considerately used a vacuum during sanding, which, combined with the open windows, greatly reduced the amount of dust in the air.
(I was understandably elated that this was the first drywall repair where I experienced no respiratory distress!)
There's another step before the actual painting begins (perhaps "sealing" the drywall?)
The ceiling was painted with paint we provided.

Jason and Justin cleaned up. The job was completed on time, beautifully done.

I would definitely hire Home Pro Roofing and Remodeling again: from the owner, to the office, to the contractors, it's clear that they care
about their customers' satisfsction.

"I have had a couple of encounters with Jiffy and am unlikely to ask them back. Although it is fairly easy to schedule with them, the dispatcher who calls to coordinate generally sounded as if I was irritating him. At the time, I was having some problems with my phone, so it didn't always ring. I tried to get back to him as soon as I could, but he still seemed put out. 
The technician who came to install the external spigot in August seemed to do all right, but when I tried to winterize the pipe in November, the shutoffs stopped the flow of the kitchen water. I asked someone to come back out, and the new technician showed me where the actual shutoff is. He also showed me how to properly winterize the pipe. 
He seemed a bit surprised by the way the previous Jiffy tech had done the work. He said that the pipes are not insulated, which could be a problem. He said that to insulate them properly, he would have to cut into the cabinets all along that wall (which is the external wall of the house). I told him that we don't even know that the pipes run all along that wall; the only other water usage is for the dishwasher, which is directly adjacent to the sink, and the water source is in the center of the house, which means the pipes would run away from that wall instead of along it. He seemed ready to open up the cabinets without evidence that the pipes even ran far along the wall. He did not offer any alternatives. 
On another (earlier) day, a different Jiffy tech came out to look at the water main in the crawl space below the house, which I was told needed insulating. The tech crawled under there and said that it is insulated, but not the way he would do it. To do it the way he would do it would cost $475 and take 4-5 hours, but he could not guarantee that the pipes would still not freeze. 
The work and service have not been terrible, but my experiences have not assured me enough to ask the company back.

FAQs for insulation service projects in Ironsides, MD

Old insulation should be removed when it shows damage, contamination, or heavy deterioration. If you notice water stains, rodent droppings, mold, or large gaps, plan on taking it out to protect your home’s energy performance and indoor air quality. Removing compromised material eliminates health hazards, cuts energy loss, and sets the stage for a safer, more efficient attic—all while keeping utility bills in check.

R-value measures how well insulation resists heat flow—the higher the number, the better it slows heat transfer. The right R-value keeps your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer, saving energy year-round. Match the rating to your climate zone and have a pro verify performance over time, because moisture or settling can lower R-value and cut efficiency.

Attic insulation can stay in place for 80 to 100 years, but its performance often drops after the first 15. As dust, moisture, or mold build up, the material loses R-value and allows heat to escape. Schedule periodic inspections so a pro can tell you when replacement makes sense—helping you keep energy bills down and indoor comfort up.

You can over-insulate an attic. Beyond the recommended R-value, extra layers don’t add efficiency and can trap moisture, leading to mold or reduced performance. A local insulation pro can measure current levels, confirm the right target for your climate, and advise on any adjustments so you avoid future energy or maintenance headaches.

Insulation can be damaged by mold, pests, water leaks, or accidental electrical contact. When the material is compromised, it loses R-value and can introduce health hazards. Removing and replacing affected sections restores efficiency, while routine inspections from a qualified pro help you catch problems early and keep your attic safe and energy-smart.
