Get matched with top insulation install or upgrade pros in Arlington, VA

"After my call to Discount Energy Services, I knew who was coming and when to evaluate my attic insulation. The estimate was prepared on-site with pricing. The workers arrived and knew exactly what they were to accomplish, which they confirmed with me. They prepared the entire path with clean drop cloths and created a plastic drape around my attic stairs. The foreman was glad to explain any aspect of the procedure. My attic was upgraded to R-49 and the difference is notable."

"DMV Insulations is a great company to work with. The company focuses on your personal needs, always on time, and great customer service! Mark was able to answer any questions I had, and provided me with useful information. I would recommend this company to anyone with attic insulation needs. "

"It went fantastic. I talked to MANY contractors. Two things I liked best: * Dr. Energy Saver handbook which really made clear insulation. It was written in such a way it made me want to join the insulation business! * VERY detailed quotation with very clear line items, making sure to call out sealing of light fixtures, sealing of furnace ducts, blown in insulation, hatch insulation, solution for knee wall, etc. Price was a little higher but there was much more effort applied to winning the work and making it very clear and easy what was going on."

"In January of this year, I had another company come and take out the old insulation and install the blown-in insulation. However, they botched up the job and we found ourselves constantly vacuuming the insulation that was coming down through all the recess lights. They hadn’t bothered to seal them correctly. They also created so much mess removing the old insulation; so we had to move to the basement while cleaning up the main floor from the messy job they did. That’s when Dan was called in to remove the blown in kind and install the blue jeans insulation. Dan suggested the blue jeans batts, knowing my chemical sensitivity. I hadn’t known such insulation existed and am grateful he did to minimize exposure to chemical. I was very impressed from the moment I saw the crew wearing a suit that was clearly designed to protect them. Dan’s crew discovered that the other insulation company had not properly removed all the old insulation company, and Dan could have charged me more for the extra removal work, but he stuck with the quoted price and did an amazing job. He made sure I would not be affected by the removal of the old blown-in insulation(have asthma). This time no dust was created while removing the blown-in insulation. I can’t say enough about Dan and his crew. I am so grateful to him and his crew. Dan is honest, professional, empathetic, and is meticulous about getting job done right. I would most highly recommend him to anyone for any type of insulation work."

"The experience with USA Insulation was very positive from start to finish. From the first call, the owner, Brian, spent time discussing my questions about the company’s services and insulation products. Mike came on time for an estimate and also helpfully discussed our questions about cutting into a plaster ceiling, what would happen if asbestos or animal intrusion were discovered, covering light fixtures and other initial install work, R-levels, insulation types, etc. After getting quotes from two other well-reviewed and professional companies, we had follow-up questions for Mike about foam insulation and caulk to seal potential cracks and openings, which he helpfully answered by email. Mike was always quick to say what extra services that we would not benefit from. USA Insulation does not install access hatches after cutting a ceiling access point, unlike the other two companies. However, USA Insulation gave the most competitive bid at the outset, and gave us confidence about how they would handle anything unexpected and stay close to their estimate. Because they are popular, they could not come to Northwest DC for a couple of weeks after we decided to move forward. They were worth the wait. The two-person crew that came arrived on time, were very professional tidy, and patiently walked through my questions confirming the products being used, R-levels, light covers, and letting me take a look and take photos at each work stage. They covered floors and furniture before starting, and took out debris and vacuumed once they finished. They also installed some insulation in our basement where we had done some plumbing work behind the walls. When I asked them to add as much R-19 insulation that could fit between the pipes and wall, they obliged and carefully tucked as much as they could – a process that included contorting into awkward spaces to insert the insulation. Because our attic’s roofline and beams prevented the team from installing 4 out of the 6 light covers, Brian reduced the final cost. It has been a week since the insulation was installed, and we are pleased with the comfort of our room temperature now. We are very pleased with USA Insulation’s services."

"Because our home was a good distance from his showroom and because we were previous customers, Paul was amenable to giving us suggestions on what to replace the existing doors/windows with as well as ballpark pricing based on our measurements.  This saved them and us a lot of time from having to schedule appointments in such a remote part of the area.  We ended up going with them b/c we liked his suggestions, and he had very reasonable pricing. <br /> All of the doors being replaced were the original 1940s wooden doors that had major gaps and air leakage causing loss of energy efficiency.  We had used Paul Henry in the past, and his team does a fantastic job.  All of the doors being replaced had a great deal of custom installation involved.  They were very patient, detail-oriented, and very meticulous with how the final product ended up.  After the job was completed, they cleaned up their work area.  Even during Snomaggedon 2016, when we used the storm doors going in/out of the house, they closed nice and snug and had no air gaps/leakage. <br /> <br /> <br />"

"Before the installation he studied the process in detail as it was a difficult job. However, the installation and process went very well. He can be hard to get in contact with at times but that is because he is very busy and does good work. He is great to work with and is very reliable."

"Everything that they get is an A. Always! They came prepared to do the replacement and finished it in one afternoon.  It was lengthy.  It took them about 4 hours worth.  They replaced the unit as well as any internal parts that needed replaced due to new technology. We had a discussion with them about what we would replace or update before the installation.  They came prepared and did it.  Everything was working fine before they left."

"After years of frustration with the upper floor of my house being too warm in the summer and too cold in the winter, I decided to add insulation to the attic and storage areas. I collected three bids. <br /> All three bids were from companies highly rated by Angie's List. Choosing between the three was difficult. Although I ultimately did not choose Carroll Insulation, I only have positive things to say about them. Brian, the estimator, was easy to communicate with, punctual, thorough, and was quick to e-mail the estimate. <br /> He patiently explained my home's needs and the options for the solutions. I could tell that he had my best interest in mind as he told me that some possibilities would not be cost effective. <br /> He left me with the impression that he was experienced and confident in his recommendations. <br />"
