Get matched with top blown in insulation install or upgrade pros in Margaretville, NY

"More often than not, contractors are nightmares. By contrast, Foamco is a dream. Although they're based over 40 miles away, they came up promptly to view my attic and provide a quote to insulate it with open cell foam. The price was perfect. Any less and I would have been suspicious. Any more and I couldn't have afforded the work. In addition to the price, calculated before the principal left my driveway, they answered a variety fo technical questions about alternative approaches, clarified what condition I had to have the space in for the quote to apply, and assured me it would be a complete job.
Three weeks later, they arrived as scheduled to an attic stripped of obstructions and old ceiling components. The crew of two proceeded to insulate the entire roof, which has tall peaks, two dormers, deep eaves, high gables, and two large semi-obstructed openings into an adjacent cold attic. By 3PM every surface exposed to the exterior was fully foamed and cut back to the rafter surface, ready for sheetrocking. They sealed the irregular openings into the annex with foamed cardboard panels (one of which is removable for access). It was an amazing one day transformation. I now have a warm, cozy, usable attic instead of a giant heat radiator.
I'm pretty sure the job will pay back in about three years, without even accounting for the added usable space.
I cannot recommend Foamco highly enough as a contractor that does what they promise and then some. I would absolutely not want to do that work and I admire the employees, Jay and Pablo, for their dedication under very unpleasant conditions. This is the second vendor I've chosen from Angie's List, and both experiences have been very gratifying.
One warning, the scope of building codes have has now been extended into anything that affects the building envelope, so with the Foamco rig parked rather obviously in front of the house for less than 3 hours, I got an authoritative knock on the door from the town building inspector, flashing his badge and telling me I needed a permit for insulation. Fortunately, I was totally believable when i told him i had no inkling that such work needed a permit, so he let me pay for it without penalty. Beware the authorities. In my case, foam with a fire spread rating of 25 or less does not require sheetrock or other flame retardant covering.

"Couldn’t have ask for better company to install insulation. Very knowledgeable and honest. Highly recommend."

"They removed old moldy insulation, sprayed fungicide on the mold and encapsulated a crawl space. Also insulated with foam insulation around the entire basement rim joist, including the crawl space. They were on time and finished before they expected to. During the inspection, when I pointed out bubbles in the foam, they redid that section without question. Zy called after they finished to make sure I was satisfied."

"Aster evaluated the system and assisted us in determining the boiler/ water system best for us. Work was done over 3 days, everything was neat. Workers were very courteous."

"John from Global Dwelling did our initial assessment. I appreciated him taking time to explain all the work that needed to be done and why. His team came in a few weeks later and were really amazing. I think insulation work is super messy and will leave a ton of debris everywhere. I was pleasantly surprised to find a ton of cloth coverings coming in to cover everything and found no major dust/debris in the house when they were done. The guys were very nice and thoughtful while in the house. The work completed was completed on time and our house is definitely more comfortable. Our finished basement is no longer a freezer and the house doesn’t “sneeze” when there is a high wind. I have already recommended them to my neighbor for when he’s ready to insulate his attic!"

"When I called, the person I spoke to was very friendly and professional and spent time trying to get me a time earlier, as the first appt they could get me was two weeks out and I was afraid that mid October to spray for stink bugs was too late, but he said that it wasn't as there still would be warm days when they would come out.  I was given a time from 2-5 pm and he arrived actually at 1pm. The guy was very friendly, spent time explaining things, but got right to work. He went in the inside of the house first to check out and spray in the attic and then sprayed the perimeter of the house around the windws, doors, etc. I had hesitated to call as I have 3 dogs and a cat and was worried about the chemicals, but they said the pets need to just stay in the house a few hours until everything dried. I couldn't take the stink bugs anymore so had to do it.  I have seen so many stink bugs dead around the house and ones that look much smaller that I"m sure where crammed into openings around the house. So it's expensive and I'm sure I could buy stuff to spray myself, but 1) I don't want to be spraying chemicals and 2) don't want to get up a ladder to reach all around the house.  And to see all the dead stink bugs was worth every penny.

"So far everything went well. We have to wait for a big big rain to see if the leaks were repaired."

"R-Factor Insulation Company does very good work. They insulated my crawl space and did a wonderful job. The owner Mr. Knapp was very professional and came out and gave a free estimate on the work. The job estimate was right on the price with no cost over runs at the completion of the
job. I had other estimates that were much higher on the same work to be done."

"Jeorge rewired the entire house to code, replaced cabinets and counter tops in the kitchen, plumbing and other smaller jobs around the house. He did a great job and I really appreciated the fact that he always kept in touch, to give me updates on how the job was progressing. I was not living at the house at the time and I totally trusted him to show up and get the job done. He also took out his own time to explain things and to make sure I knew what was expected of him. His prices were very fair and I highly recommend him and would definitely hire him again."

"Well, the first time the replacement was ordered it was the wrong one, which of course, delayed the installation a week. When it was finally installed I had to pay an additional $850 for code upgrades. This I was not informed of by Home Shield. Then we noticed that there was water on the garage floor and found that the pipe coming in from the wall was leaking at the wall so had to call the plumbing company back out to fix it. They first tried to say it was not their fault but since there wasn't a leak before they installed they did fix it. I have used Home Shield a few times before and never had a problem. Some of the companies they use are not the best so you have to research them before you commit. I have found HS service to be good if you do your homework. At the end of the day I was without hot water for almost 3 weeks but it was do to the plumbing company they sent out."
