"My husband and chose this company to replace our roof several years ago. It has been a very poor experience from the start. The company does not call when they need to reschedule and shows up whenever they please with no communication. They do not return phone calls and do not share what work was completed when doing repairs. We paid for a high quality roofing materials as our house had a roof that was currently leaking. After replacing the entire roof the leak continued and after many phone calls and repairs it was finally fixed a year later. We currently have another leak due to an improperly place vent that is causing a leak on our back porch windows. Yet again they were scheduled and did not show up to complete the job. We constantly have to call to find out when the job will be completed. Still waiting for a call back and we are currently in the process of trying to sell our home, making this all the more frustrating."

"I was extremely dispoointed in the service. We have used VanBeck In the past, the first time a couple of years ago. Good work and reasonable prices. This past summer they did some additional work which I felt was overpriced for the work done but we had agreed to it. I called yesterday to have them take a look at some possible additional water damage and they came out the same day but this is where the good service ended. Bill took a quick look, said I likely didn’t have water damage in the front room but they could see some spots near the eyebrow window where the caulking was not optimal. He also said there was a spot where they had repaired before that could use a bit of work. I asked how much and he said $350. Another gentleman was already on the roof and caulking even though I had not agreed to the work. When I questioned Bill about this, he said Matt said he couldn’t leave it like that and he had to fix it. I said I thought $350 was a lot and Bill said $350 was the minimum to come out. This was not revealed to me on the phone. I asked how long to fix and he said about 30 minutes. We agreed on$100 finally and I don’t think they were here for even 15 minutes. I’m not sure they even fixed the other spot although I can’t be sure as I didn’t check. I felt like I was being fast talked and taken advantage of and wasn’t pleased with even paying the $100 but since the work had already been started I didn’t want to make a fuss. I have recommended VanBeck in the last but will no longer do so."

Yes, you should remove old insulation if it's damaged, contaminated, or deteriorated. Signs like water damage, rodent droppings, mold, or gaps mean removal is essential to maintain energy efficiency and a safe living environment. If the insulation is intact and functioning well, removal isn't necessary. However, compromised insulation can increase energy costs and pose health risks.
Attic insulation lasts 80 to 100 years; however, its performance starts to decline after 15 years. Insulation loses effectiveness as materials like fiberglass become dirty, wet, or affected by mold and other contaminants. Regular evaluation is critical because reduced insulation performance leads to higher energy loss. A professional inspection confirms when replacement is necessary, ensuring that your home maintains peak energy efficiency and comfort.
Excess attic insulation does not enhance energy efficiency beyond an optimal threshold. When insulation surpasses the necessary level for your region’s climate, additional material does not improve heat retention and may cause moisture buildup. Maintaining the correct balance is essential because over-insulation can lead to unintended issues without lowering energy costs. A professional assessment ensures that the amount of insulation is ideal for performance and efficiency, and helps avoid unnecessary expenses.
R-value is the measure of a material’s ability to resist heat transfer and directly determines insulation performance. A higher R-value means the material retains heat efficiently during winter and minimizes energy loss in warmer months. Selecting insulation with the appropriate R-value for your specific location is essential because environmental conditions and installation areas significantly influence energy efficiency. Over time, external factors like moisture may degrade the R-value, which underscores the importance of periodic evaluation.
Insulation damage occurs in several forms, including mold growth, pest infestations, water intrusion, and electrical harm. Damaged insulation compromises heat retention and significantly increases energy expenses while posing serious health risks. Immediate removal and replacement of compromised insulation are imperative to restore optimal performance and ensure the safety of your home. Regular inspections will identify these issues early, allowing for swift corrective action that maintains efficiency and protects occupants.
