"Highly recommend Neil. When we first met he arrived as a worker not a guy in a suit. He arrived when he said he would, he kept me advised of his work. He and his crew re-insulated the underside of my rental module home. He had only a crawl space to work in and I know it was very dirty work. When he found an additional problem he talked to me about it. The estimate he gave for the job was very fair. He is currently working on another estimate for repairing my deck and replacing a sliding glass door. If I could give him 10 stars I would. I am not related to him and never met him until he showed up to work up the estimate. If you need a job done Neil is your guy!!!"

"Everything was fine until I got the final bill. The estimate they gave was different and the final bill was different. They had put extra charges. When I called them about it, they didn't back down. They also said that because of the extra insulation they used they did they couldn't reduce the cost. Other than that, the job was done fine. At one point, the insulation had blown in, they had a little problem, but that was worked out."

"Neil did the job fantastically and explained what he was doing throughout, always asked for an inspection to make sure it was done to my satisfaction. Pricing was extremely fair and he was timely and quick. Would highly recommend for any insulation work you need done. Can’t speak on the other work he does, but if it’s on par with what he did for me, then you’d be doing well."

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.
