"This is the most negligent contractor I've dealt with in my life. They suggested to not be home for our attic insulation since we have a newborn at home which I appreciated. They seemed careful and thoughtful in the sales process which is why I ended up picking them for our project. However, when it came time for the job they were reckless with security and safety. Before the job I sent multiple notes via text and email, and had a phone call asking them to contact me at the end of each day so I could set the alarm and lock the doors remotely. Day one they didn't do this. I sent another ask to please be mindful of this so I could keep our home secure. Day 2 they did not do this again, and ended up leaving our front door wide open which triggered a burglar alarm at 2am requiring us to deal with the security company and police throughout the night. Afterwards it took days for anyone to reply. They lacked empathy or ownership for how negligent their team was. I would not recommend working with these people. Mistakes happen, but the response to these mistakes was almost as bad as their dangerous actions themselves."

Hi I’m Mariusz the owner and operator of Redesign Floors & Home LLC . We offer a high quality of workmanship. Our services are hardwood, laminate, vinyl planks ,LVT tile, refinishing and staining hardwood floors,stairs and custom flooring and Wall design Check us out on Instagram and Facebook for more videos and pictures
"This company did a wonderful job! The owner, Mariusz, was very helpful and responsive during the process. His pricing was very reasonable. His installation team worked very hard and did a wonderful job. When I bought my condo, the prior owners installed a horribly cheap floor that was also quite ugly. Thanks to ReDesign, my place was transformed and looks brighter and incredibly homey. I smile every time I look at my new floor. And his pricing was incredibly fair. One of my other quotes was twice as expensive as the one Mariusz gave me, and that company said it would take 4 workers 3 days to complete the project (my condo is on the smaller size side, and there is no way four people could have even fit in here while working at the same time). I would definitely hire ReDesign again if/when I need additional floors replaced."

Blown in insulation install or upgrades FAQs
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.
