Get matched with top batt, rolled or reflective insulation install or upgrade pros in Chicago, IL

"This review was written by my wife, Nina. We chose ARC over its competitors mainly because of Robert, ARC’s sales representative. Robert gave detailed explanations and submitted a detailed proposal of the scope of work. He also was open to negotiate the price. It took 8 hours and a hard working three-man team to do the job. When job was done, the lead man went through the scope of work listing in all details. He showed full knowledge of the flaws and existing imperfections in our house that had been discovered by Robert and listed in the proposal. The lead man and his team were very soft spoken, well mannered, modest, quiet, respectful, and showed perfect professional ethics. Thanks to the lead man we now have a proper venting connection of our bathroom fan. It was poorly done by the GC and missed by the expensive roofers. The lead man redid it. ARC is an integrated team of various specialists. Its painters showed up and fixed spots where the nails popped out a little bit because of the work above. They did this the same day and it looks like those nail pops were never there. We are glad that all electrical work in the attic had been done prior to the insulation because it would be very hard to dig through the deep layers of Nu-Wool (NW) material to install lighting cans or other electrical work. The entrance to the part of the attic above the bedrooms was permanently sealed, though it can be forced open in case of necessity to enter that space. An important topic is the type of insulating material. Homeowners who need new insulation do not have much choice of material because ARC’s competitors also offered the same NW. During his presentation Robert demonstrated NW insulation material, which was pressed in a box. We think that this demonstration is a little misleading. As a matter of fact, the customers receive not pressed NW material but very fluffy, light, and dusty material. It did not settle under gravity for a very long time and stays in the environment for a long time. Eventually it did settle creating a layer of gray dust on all surfaces. Continuous thorough cleaning in the house will be necessary until sedimentation will finally come to an end. It is especially important if you want to insulate the entire space under the roof, including the bedrooms and space above the garage. You do not want to inhale dust during your night's sleep. It is not nice to have NW flying in attic, which you may continue using as a storage space. In this regard we think that air duct cleaning should be done no earlier than a month after insulation. It would be nice, very appreciated, and rewarding to the owners if ARC could offer covering the NW surface to prevent light NW material from flying around. It could be done a month or two later."

"I met Robert for an estimate. Robert is a straight shooter, gave a competitive estimate, and no pressure at all. I decided to go with him after another estimate I got was borderline gouging. I was impressed with how efficiently and quickly his crew worked. These guys know what they are doing. Many companies can insulate an attic but Attic Air can also replace attic and bathroom fans. Make sure your soffit though has holes in it to let air into the attic. This was an optional piece for me but the crew chief explained to me the new attic fan that was being installed would burn out if there was not enough air coming in from the soffit for the fans to circulate. I also took advantage to replace two other very old bathroom fans with more powerful Panasonic 100 cfm LED fans to take advantage of the crew being in the attic. My second floor used to be 3 degrees cooler than what the thermostat showed on the first floor, but is now 1 degree or no difference. I am hoping I won't need a separate cooler fan in the summer on the second floor. Didn't need a separate heater for winter at least or shiver unless I brought up the temperature on first floor."

"I recently had Attic Pro of New Lenox, IL install blown-in insulation as an upgrade to my existing attic setup, and the results have been fantastic! My main reasons for doing this were to boost energy efficiency and cut down on those skyrocketing heating and AC bills—our old insulation just wasn’t cutting it anymore, especially with Illinois winters and humid summers. Within the first month, I’ve already noticed a huge difference: the house stays warmer in the cold without cranking the heat, and cooler in the heat. For the first time I am looking forward to seeing my next utility bills. The team at Attic Pro was top-notch from start to finish. They provided highly personalized service and paid incredible attention to detail—inspecting every nook, sealing air leaks, and ensuring the blown-in material was evenly distributed for maximum R-value. No cookie-cutter job here; they tailored everything to my needs."

"Green Attic did a fantastic job! They showed up when they said they would and completed the project on time. The crew was professional and friendly. The project manager shared pictures of their work throughout the day and at the end of the project. They cleaned up each day, so the home was left spotless. Big shout out to the crew that included Edison, Keiman and Ronaldo. If you’re looking for a great company to handle big or small insulation job, call Green Attic. They may not be the least expensive, but they will do the best work."

"David Dap and Son did a wonderful job cleaning out the crawlspace under my front porch and putting in Insulation. David is very knowledgeable about installation and was very clear in recommendations for what the job needed and how he was going to do it. One thing I really appreciated about David and his workmen were they were always on time and were efficient and hard workers. When the job was done, they cleaned up and l left the space better than they found it. I highly recommend David Dap and Son. They are trustworthy, do a wonderful job and I would not hesitate to hire them again."

"I'm proud to hear my son, Robert Wolfrum, is working for Perma-Seal. I first used Perma-Seal in the 80's for a foundation crack repair in our South Holland, IL home and then again at our Tinley Park, IL home. Both experiences were memorable and professional and fixed our basement water problems. It is good to know that my son is working for a reputable company that has been doing quality work for decades. I was surprised to hear that they do insulation and concrete leveling."

"The whole process was really easy from the sales rep to the install team. I love the new roof and I would definitely recommend this company"

"I felt very comfortable throughout the whole process from the sales to the install of my roof. The project managers, Walter and devan, were very knowledgeable during the install and made sure we didn’t have any questions. Overall very pleased with everything"

"Completed job next day after my request. They hung curtain rods, assembled a bed, removed a built in cabinet and repaired drywall, hung art, installed smart lock and miscellaneous tasks. Fast and friendly, I would hire again."
