Torsten Hansen has the patience of a saint.  As I was considering my options with other companies, I bombarded him with a multitude of questions which he answered thoroughly and in a timely manner.

His price was the best.  



 I have one complaint.  I have a bedroom above an unheated garage.  We removed the old drywall and fiberglass insulation which was riddled with squirrel mess.  We also added air conditioning to the house.  There are heating/air conditioning ducts running at the side of one garage wall and across 3 areas of the garage ceiling. The HVAC contractor said to make sure those were well insulated or humid air would condense on the ducts and damage the new drywall.  I thought that foam would be the best option.

Pure Seal did a really good job of insulating the side vents with high density foam. I had the ceilings and walls done in medium density foam.  But, they left the bottom halves of the ducts across the ceiling unfoamed.  In all but a few spots there was a good 2 inches or more space from the bottom of the vent to the end of the joist.  I measured it . Torsten went out and looked at it from the ground and said there was nothing they could do.  He said if I was worried about condensing water dripping onto the underside of the drywall when the air was on, I could staple some plastic over the areas.  Not a good solution.

 

I tried to foam the vents myself with Great Stuff, but it would not stick to the horizontal surface of the ceiling ducts.  It kept falling off.  So I wound up ripping the vapor barrier off of some fiberglass insulation and tapping it up in the cavity below the ceiling vents.  I then covered the fiberglass with reflectix stapled to the joists.  I told Torsten what I did and he thanked me for taking care of it but stuck by his decision that they could not have done anything.

 

I was disappointed because this was one of the main reasons I wanted foam. 

 



They also cut a wire in trimming the foam but he did offer to pay to fix that. My electrician was doing something else for us so he did not charge us.  That kind of stuff happens and I would not fault him for that but they should have caught it when they inspected their job instead of me having to tell them about it.

FAQs for batt, rolled or reflective insulation install or upgrade projects in Akron, OH

Batt insulation excels in vertical installations because it remains firmly in place and delivers consistent thermal performance. Blown-in insulation performs exceptionally in spaces such as attics, efficiently filling gaps in irregular areas. 

Employing both insulation types according to their strengths enhances your home’s overall energy efficiency and comfort by providing a tailored solution for every space.

Start by measuring the square footage of the space, then match that area with the insulation thickness you need to hit your target R-value. Add a buffer for waste and odd-shaped spots so every cavity is covered. 

Once you have a rough count, run it past a local insulation pro—their on-site advice will fine-tune the numbers and help you avoid costly miscalculations.

Old insulation that is dry, intact, and mold-free does not require removal before adding new insulation; stacking new insulation over it maintains effective thermal performance and boosts energy efficiency. 

If the insulation is damp, moldy, or deteriorated, removal is necessary to eliminate health risks and ensure maximum effectiveness of the new layer. A professional insulation contractor will assess your situation and recommend the most effective solution.

Installing insulation in an average-sized home using batts or boards requires five to 12 hours. Using spray foam or blown-in insulation requires two to five hours. These timeframes are determined by the area’s size, accessibility, and whether old insulation must be removed. 

Complex projects and hard-to-reach spaces demand extra time. Hiring an experienced insulation professional ensures that the installation is completed efficiently and correctly.

Insulation is measured by R-value, which defines how effectively it resists heat flow. A higher R-value provides superior thermal resistance, ensuring your home remains warm in winter and cool in summer. 

Choosing the correct R-value is essential for maximizing energy efficiency and comfort, and it directly impacts long-term utility savings. Professional guidance determines the optimal R-value for your specific climate.
