Sales & Installation of all flooring products: Carpeting, Ceramic Tile, Hardwood and Vinyl flooring. We have our own installation technicians. A specialty store with prices that will compete with the big box stores. Many of our services are included with our installed price, without all the hidden charges that many stores add.
"Thinking about new flooring? Think about Young Brothers for the job!!! I just purchased Luxury Vinyl flooring from Young Brothers, and they did a wonderful job on the installation. I wanted to remove the old tile so that I could have an even transition from kitchen to dining room. It was a big job to take out all the old plywood. They did a good job of keeping the dust to a minimum. They cleaned up after themselves on each of the 5 days. I am pleased with the flooring and installation. I would highly recommend Young Brothers. I have other floors that could be updated, and I would absolutely use them again. They had a lot of choices in flooring, make, and colors. I went with something that looked like wood and would match the wooden floors I had in the dining room."

At Insulwise, we focus on improving the energy efficiency & comfort of our customers homes by using a free-of-cost home energy evaluation to first determine the root of the problems you're experiencing in your home. By using infrared imaging, blower door testing (to identify air infiltration sources) and other metrics, we can better understand the nature of your homes comfort and energy efficiency issues. We then apply current-best-practice measures to air seal and re-insulate your home to achieve the results you desire!
"State of the art company. Erik came and gave me a free assessment. As a responsible home owner, I also got a second opinion after he came. What the other company said when they came to take a look mirrored pretty much exactly what Erik told me. This is not a company out to scam you into buying things you don't need. Brian and Justin did the work at my house. They were friendly, courteous, respectful, hardworking, positive and communicated extremely well. They let me know what they were doing every step of the way. They are great employees that Insulwise should count themselves very lucky to have. This company does really good work! They don't just pump in the insulation, they carefully SEAL the surface of the roof beforehand and don't cut any corners. All of the insulation in the world isn't going to work if there is a big crevice for the cold air to go through! This work was not cheap- but that would be the case nowadays with any company you choose. It was not significantly more expensive than any of the other companies I got quotes from- but I can say that the quality of the workers and materials make it well worth any very small premium that may be attached. I can give this company my absolute HIGHEST recommendation. Most people in the area concur with me and having gone through this wonderful experience, I wholeheartedly agree! Insulwise for the win!"

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.
