"From the time I called to set an appointment for an estimate, through the time I received a post job email requesting information so that Dana Insulation could submit paperwork for an unexpected rebate, every step was handled perfectly. The owner, who came to write my estimate, was a delight to talk to. The scheduler was flexible and responsive. And the young men who performed my job were very respectful and professional. They took pictures before the job began, at the mid point when all of the very old insulation had been removed, and at the end showing the walls spayed with cellulose, and loose insulation at the proper depth. Thanks, Dana Insulation! I'll definitely recommend you to anyone I know who is looking to update the insulation in their home."

"Tom Needham, from Ecotelligent Homes (EH), did an energy assessment on our house and then essentially acted as a contractor, organizing the work (with Cappy, but EH personnel did install some insulation as part of the larger project). We are extremely happy with EH's performance. 1) The completed work has provided us with everything we wanted. 2) In every case, all of the personnel who came into our home--sometimes for several days--were professional, friendly, and competent. 3) At one point our house presented a complexity (how to merge new HVAC equipment with a pre-existing zoning setup) that seemed to threaten the chance of continuing with a zoned house (ie dividing our house into 3 sections, each with independent temperature controls/ducts). We reached out to Tom and he coordinated with colleagues at Cappy, to insure that we got what we wanted."

I've always been a "Green Energy" person. I built and live in a underground earth sheltered Dome. Using only solar energy and a fireplace to heat my home in the winter and I don't have an air-conditioning unit. This passion for our environment led me to the insulation business. Makes me feel blessed to save my customers money on their heating and cooling bills. Saving our energy, saves our planet!
"They were neat and courteous and finished the job in a day."

Using recycled egg cartons to soundproof a room is ineffective because these thin, porous materials fail to block sound waves. High-quality sound-dampening foam panels absorb sound energy completely and have a flat backing for secure attachment. This method guarantees enhanced noise reduction and an improved aesthetic, making it the reliable choice for soundproofing.
Soundproofing performed during new construction is more cost-effective than retrofitting an existing room. Incorporating soundproofing while building eliminates the need for extensive retrofits later, reducing labor and material expenses. New construction projects invest $15 per square foot, while retrofitting requires $30 per square foot. This proactive approach significantly enhances acoustic performance and value.
The best soundproofing approach is determined by the noise severity, room function, and the quality of materials used. For minor ambient noise, installing soundproof curtains may suffice. However, spaces exposed to heavy traffic or industrial sounds require insulation, specialized drywall, and superior window installations. Professional consultation ensures that every element meets the room’s acoustic requirements.
Sound Transmission Class (STC) quantifies a material's ability to block sound; higher STC ratings indicate superior soundproofing performance, ensuring less noise passes between spaces. This rating is essential when selecting windows, doors, or wall materials to meet specific acoustic performance standards.
While completely soundproofing a room is technically possible, it is not cost-effective due to extensive material and labor requirements. Targeting a noise reduction between 25% and 50% delivers significant acoustic improvement without exorbitant costs. An investment between $1,000 and $2,000 achieves outstanding results. Therefore, attaining complete silence is impractical for most residential projects.
