Local, owner operated, home remodeling contractor. No job too big or too small. We specialize in kitchen and bathroom remodel striving for quality over speed. We do over 90% of all work in house, rarely bringing in other subcontractors. Everything from painting, to electric service, butcher block countertops and everything in between
"I am posting this review to recommend Russell Holland of Holland Home Services. I found him in another recommendation earlier on Upstate CREIA and want to add my voice in support of his work. I am working on a rehab in Gaffney, and he recently relocated my panel box, added breakers to accommodate a new tankless water heater, a new HVAC system and additional lighting, added special outlets for the stove, dishwasher, washer and dryer, and replaced nearly all the wiring in the home. He was extremely knowledgeable, efficient and reliable. The price was reasonable, and even when the job exceeded the original scope of work, he went above and beyond for the safety of the home, but still stuck to the original bid price. I highly recommend him for his expertise and trustworthiness. Although he has done only electrical work for me so far, I understand he can do nearly anything needed for rehabbing real estate. I believe his service area is more Greenville and Spartanburg, but he still came to Gaffney too to help me. All around great guy! You can reach him at 864-753-6763. Cheers, Kathleen Pearson Cornflower Properties LLC 704-649-2532 kathy@cornflowerproperties.com"

"Matias and his crew were excellent! They blew new insulation in my attic for me, and I am thrilled with the result.

They truly went above and beyond, and I would recommend them to anyone who needs insulation work done."

Blown-in insulation offers several advantages over traditional insulation methods. This insulation option is fire-resistant, long-lasting, and more energy-efficient, providing superior thermal regulation for your home. Blown-in insulation fills gaps in walls and hard-to-reach spaces effectively, reduces noise transmission, enhances indoor comfort, and can increase your home's overall resale value.
Installing blown-in insulation in a 1,500-square-foot house costs between $2,625 and $11,250. Your total cost will depend on the type of insulation material you choose, labor rates in your area, and any additional work required, such as mold remediation or electrical adjustments. Hiring an insulation professional ensures proper installation, and labor costs typically range from $40 to $70 per hour. Getting detailed quotes can help you budget accurately for your project.
The cost of spray foam insulation ranges from $0.45 to $1.50 per board foot, while blown-in cellulose insulation costs between $0.60 and $2.30 per square foot. Spray foam insulation is less expensive per unit and offers excellent air sealing properties with higher R-values. Blown-in cellulose, made from recycled materials, is slightly more expensive but provides superior soundproofing and is environmentally friendly. Choosing between the two depends on your specific insulation needs, budget, and preference for eco-friendly materials.
Blown-in insulation is generally cheaper to install than batts. Batt and roll insulation can cost up to $2,500 on average, whereas blown-in insulation often results in cost savings due to lower material and labor expenses. Additionally, blown-in insulation fills gaps and irregular spaces more effectively, improving energy efficiency. Opting for blown-in insulation can save you money while providing better coverage and performance compared to traditional batts.
The best R-value for blown-in insulation depends on the area of your home you're insulating and your specific climate zone. Generally, attics in the U.S. should have an R-value between 30 and 60, with colder regions requiring higher values for optimal energy efficiency. Walls typically need R-values between 13 and 21. Consulting with a professional can help determine the ideal R-value for your insulation project based on local building codes and energy requirements.
Your decision to remove old insulation before installing blown-in insulation depends on the condition of the existing material. If the old insulation is damaged, moldy, or infested with pests, you should remove it to prevent health hazards and ensure effectiveness. If the existing insulation is in good condition, you can often install blown-in insulation over it to increase R-value and improve efficiency. Consulting with a professional insulation installer can help determine the best course of action for your specific situation.
