"Following discovery and repair of a roof leak, I needed to have my existing attic insulation removed, and new insulation installed. I received several quotes, and decided to choose Prudent based on David's timely and professional communications, honest appraisal of what the job would entail, and competitive pricing. David and his team did an excellent job throughout the process. They arrived on time, used drop cloths and plastic covers to keep everything clean, walked me through the process and progress, and shared pictures of areas I couldn't easily see or get to myself. At the end of the job, they thoroughly cleaned up all debris and left the house and property as they had found it. We discovered a minor issue later that evening, and David sent a member of the team out to fix it the next day. Excellent communication and work - very happy with the end result, and would hire again in a heartbeat."

"Provider was timely and had a lot of helpful tips. Changed 14 light bulbs in areas of most use. Did not need faucets or shower heads. Put in better insulation around my hot water pipe. (I had wrapped it in carpet foam, but your solution was better and looked a lot better.) I signed up for a full energy review on 28 Mar."

"Home Genius came by and installed my insulation into my attic and I couldn’t be more thrilled and happy with the results! I noticed an initial change with the first temperature drop of the winter! And I wasn’t cold one bit! Angel And Michael were both professional and knowledgeable and were available for any questions or concerns that I had! Thank you to Home Genius for my new roof and my new insulated attic! I would love to recommend them to all family and friends!"

"Great! Job was complete .... removal of existing 50+ year old insulation, air sealing attic, baffle installation, installed 18 inches new fiberglass blown insulation, and new whole-house fan. Job started and completed as proposed. Crew on-time, quietly performed their work, and left spaces clean when done. Definitely worth the cost as noticeable improvement in second floor temperature and humidity readings."

These vents help your attic circulate air. With attics reaching over 120 degrees in the summer these are very important. They prevent mold and increase the lifetime of your insulation. Most other contractors miss installing these.
Look at the difference! Our foam is fire-rated which allows us to air seal around penetrations that contractors never could before.
Most homes have penetrations all over there attic. Imagine trying to blow up a balloon with a bunch of holes. It will never fill up. Now imagine trying to blow up your house with air conditioning and heating with a bunch of holes in the attic. It will never fill up.
Recessed can lights are notorious for leaking air. Recessed can light covers help with air-sealing your living space and prevent fires.

"They found 2" insulation in my attic, and they recommended me to air seal and insulate with 11" cellulose. I felt the difference from the very first day"

"The team from Atlas did an excellent job of installing spray foam in my attic, adding additional loose fill in another portion of my attic, and sealing my ducts. Would certainly hire again for other insulation projects and highly recommend them."

"My roof trim is in need of replacement to keep in HOA compliance. Diaz showed up with a free estimate and a more reasonable price than two other contractors who gave me a quote for the job. The work is on a three story townhouse, which is a high risk job and weather is a major matter for safety reason. There was a lot of delay due to weather and scheduling. Diaz was able to handle rescheduling via text and his guys were able to get the job done."

FAQs for batt, rolled or reflective insulation install or upgrade projects in Kensington, MD

Batt insulation excels in vertical installations because it remains firmly in place and delivers consistent thermal performance. Blown-in insulation performs exceptionally in spaces such as attics, efficiently filling gaps in irregular areas. 

Employing both insulation types according to their strengths enhances your home’s overall energy efficiency and comfort by providing a tailored solution for every space.

Start by measuring the square footage of the space, then match that area with the insulation thickness you need to hit your target R-value. Add a buffer for waste and odd-shaped spots so every cavity is covered. 

Once you have a rough count, run it past a local insulation pro—their on-site advice will fine-tune the numbers and help you avoid costly miscalculations.

Old insulation that is dry, intact, and mold-free does not require removal before adding new insulation; stacking new insulation over it maintains effective thermal performance and boosts energy efficiency. 

If the insulation is damp, moldy, or deteriorated, removal is necessary to eliminate health risks and ensure maximum effectiveness of the new layer. A professional insulation contractor will assess your situation and recommend the most effective solution.

Installing insulation in an average-sized home using batts or boards requires five to 12 hours. Using spray foam or blown-in insulation requires two to five hours. These timeframes are determined by the area’s size, accessibility, and whether old insulation must be removed. 

Complex projects and hard-to-reach spaces demand extra time. Hiring an experienced insulation professional ensures that the installation is completed efficiently and correctly.

Insulation is measured by R-value, which defines how effectively it resists heat flow. A higher R-value provides superior thermal resistance, ensuring your home remains warm in winter and cool in summer. 

Choosing the correct R-value is essential for maximizing energy efficiency and comfort, and it directly impacts long-term utility savings. Professional guidance determines the optimal R-value for your specific climate.
