"They got the job done quick and the work looks impeccable. The sales and planning portions of the work went off without a hitch. Sadly, the project manager got into a car accident on the phone with me and the installation crew cut the fiber optic internet cable to my house and then tried to hide it by tucking it into the siding. While I’m ultimately happy with the result, I’d be cautious next time I need major work done."

"I HIGHLY recommend this company for all your "disaster" recovery needs. My basement flooded last week. They responded to my call within 10 minutes. They arrived at my home the next morning as promised, we came up with a remediation plan and they got to work. Less than 24 hours after the water appeared, my sopping wet carpet and padding was removed and hauled off. The addition of high powered fans dried me out and after 3 days, they came back to put me together again. Excellent service. True to their word. Outstanding communication. Let them be your guardian angels as they were to me!"

Our family owned company has been servicing North Eastern Ohio for over 20 years. We install, refinish, and repair hardwood floors, refinish stairs, and do finish carpentry. We use the latest technology in our dust-containment sanding equipment.
"Our floors look better than they did new. The Kelco team were very professional, knowledgeable, friendly, hardworking, and respectful of our home. The whole process took two weeks, they worked every day taking only a lunch break once a day. They cleaned up at that end of each day and kept us informed at each step of the process. We would highly recommend Kelco for any floor refinishing you may need."

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.
