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

"Kevin and Nicole are the owners of this small company that insulated hundreds of homes in the DC area for a fraction of what larger companies are charging. They are also both quite personable and knowledgeable. It was easy to reach Nicole by phone and arrange a time for Kevin to come give an estimate. Kevin came and stayed while he worked up his estimate, chatting for a bit about the neighborhood. This compared to the gruff responses I got by other companies that wouldn’t even come look at my space until I was ready to sign a contract was one of the major reasons I chose Discount Energy Services. The other was, as the name implies, the incredibly low cost. It was less than half what I had received from at least two other companies. The day before or the day of, I would recommend DES call their customers. I called them the day of, unsure of the start time as well as parking. Everything worked out though, and Kevin’s two guys worked all day until about 8pm to finish the job. The main guy showed me the work and answered my questions upon completion. He also told me that it takes a little time for the insulation to settle, which I found to be true. We noticed more of a difference after a day or two. I would also recommend that DES call customers after the job to follow-up. I did this myself and had a nice talk with Nicole about other things we can do to minimize sound transferrance between our first floor and our English basement apartment. The insulation provided by DES does not completely cut out vibrational sound, nor would any insulation anyone could provide. Nicole had some great ideas for how I could take further steps. Overall, I would recommend Discount Energy Services. They do solid work with friendly, professional communication at affordable cost. Support small local businesses!"

"David and his team installed dense-packed fiberglass insulation in our flat-roofed attic, using the drill-and-fill method. He was prompt, responsive, and did a great job explaining our options. He charged a competitive rate, and we were really impressed with the whole experience of working with him. Our house had a significant temperature problem on the second floor because of the lack of insulation (hot in the summer and freezing in the winter), and the difference was noticeable right away once he finished installing the insulation, which was great. I would definitely recommend hiring him!"

"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. "

"I've been trying to find an expert in insulation for months to come out and tell me out to properly insulate around a removed chimney and Comfenergy was the expert I needed. Even though the insulation part of the job was too small for Comfenergy (wasn't above their minimum quote value) they were happy to give me their expert advice and I appreciate the time spent as I now know what to ask the roofing contractor to do in order to insulate this correctly. Thanks!"

"We hired ROI Construction for replacement windows and were satisfied overall. They were open to price negotiation (we had competing bids) and flexible on scope, we added shutters at a reasonable cost. One install issue came up, but they resolved it within a couple weeks. Communication was steady throughout. Would definitely consider working with them again."

"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."

"Our 18 year old builders grade HVAC system was approaching end of life. The unit was a Rheem that ran off propane gas. One of two original HVAC systems in our home. So, we proactively decided to retire the original system this spring. I have been a Mann-In customer now for around 10 years now. They already replaced one of my two HVAC system 7 years ago. Also hot water tank about 5 years ago. All in all very happy and familiar with them. Very professional proposal with half a dozen options both in terms of level of efficiency, upgrades such as humidifier and better air filtration, and warranty upgrade. Competitive pricing. Mann-In scheduled my install within a week. I made sure I got on their schedule before the spring. As always, Mark and the installation crew show up on time and hardly take a brake till job is done. Meticulous work. They put drop clothes everywhere. I've tried the other giant heating and cooling companies in past. But, I prefer the more personal, responsive, and nimble Mann-In. Still run like a family business. Although, I am seeing more of the owner's son ( Trevor), Chuck Brown still comes out to pre plan the major projects and make sure everything is engineered properly for install date. He often points out or fixes things from previous builder. Thanks guys. Keep up good work."

"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 />"
