Third Generation Cipriano Plumbing Figliozzi Ceramic Tile A Family owned & operated for over 60 years.We are a small, local plumbing and tile company whose roots date back to the 1950’s. As a Third Generation family business; we proudly continue to build upon the legacy started by our families. Our fathers taught us to work hard, be honest, and to strive for excellence. Our goal is to be your neighborhood plumber that is always there when you need us.
"Too bad this family has had 2 deaths in the family this year. In a review for this company for a plumbing job posted 7/15/19, the reviewer advised that he needed a leaky water pressure regulator replaced. He was told someone would come out to his house the following week, but no one ever showed up. The owner, Robert Figliozzi, posted a response advising there had been a sudden death in the family. On 1/30/19, I had a appointment with him to come to my house to give me an estimate on replacing ceramic tile in a laundry room. An hour or so after the appointment when he had not shown up, I called him and he said there had been a sudden death in the family. He did end up coming out later that day and the work was performed about a week later. The work done was so-so. There were pieces of tile that were not flush\level with other pieces. I know the laundry room floor (a concrete slab) was very uneven and he explained why he couldn't get the pieces flush. Several months later, I had another contractor install the exact same tile in a downstairs foyer and half bath, also on a concrete slab, which also was very uneven. This contractor used self-leveling concrete to fill in the low spots in the slab and he also used some type of plastic adjustable spacers in between the pieces of tile during the installation. Third Generation didn't do either. As a result, all of the pieces of tile in the foyer and half bath were even (flush) with all of the pieces of the other piece of tile. After I saw what the contractor who did the foyer and half bath did, I wondered why Third Generation couldn't have done the same thing to get all of the pieces of tile flush/level with each other."

"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."

R-value measures how well insulation resists heat flow, which directly affects your home's energy efficiency. The higher the R-value, the better the insulation. By calculating the R-value needed for your specific climate and home design, you can choose the right insulation materials and thickness to keep your home comfortable and reduce heating and cooling costs.
You don't need to remove your old insulation before adding new insulation, as long as it's in good condition. Adding new insulation over existing materials can improve your home's energy efficiency. For example, you can install blown-in insulation around fiberglass batts or place rigid insulation over existing layers to enhance the overall R-value. However, if your current insulation is wet, moldy, or damaged, you should remove it to avoid health risks and maintain optimal performance.
Installing insulation typically takes five to twelve hours for batts or boards, and two to five hours for spray foam or blown-in insulation. The exact time depends on the type of material and your home's layout. If you need to remove old insulation, have a larger home, or hard-to-reach areas, the project may take longer.
The International Association of Certified Home Inspectors has said foam board insulation can last up to 100 years if properly installed. Some insulation materials can suffer from water damage or start to sag over many years, thus reducing their insulating ability. Foam boards shouldn't suffer from sagging but have the potential to get damaged. Any broken pieces of foam board can reduce its insulating effectiveness.
