"They left supplies in my yard for over a month and a half. They were supposed to fix a light they messed up & pick up the supplies. The project manager kept setting up appointments with me & then didn't show or say anything. Stuff was ruining my grass so we put them on Craigslist."

"Avoid them...their own intall tech walked into my house, looked at the work order and -incredulously- declared to me that 'whoever wrote this up...they were probably new. But this isn't going to solve your problem". That ACTUALLY HAPPENED. Drying Company completely botched the job. They failed to finish the work (offered some laughable small credit instead) and then sought civil remedy for an amount I don't owe. Oh, and they kept the deposit. To summarize: THEY BOTCHED A JOB AND THEN SUED THEIR OWN CUSTOMER. I was going to let sleeping dogs lie but now I'm going to use every consumer digital megaphone available. Just look at the photo! They were hired to spray foam my crawl space!! That's what they left...They claim this crawl space has been mitigated for pipes freezing."
Unsealed porous foundation walls. Efflorescence has grown along the outside walls.
Plastic is laid out to protect the freshly pained walls and floor.
Open vents in the foundation walls allow outside air and moisture to infiltrate the crawl space, increasing the relative humidity and allowing mold spores to thrive inside.
Spray foam application in progress on warehouse walls.
The dirt floor is exposed, which will allow the moisture from the earth to rise uncontested into the crawl space, adding to the increase in relative humidity.

""DO NOT HIRE. My 3-year nightmare with Earth Right Mid-Atlantic: DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL HAZARD: They installed the wrong generator interlock kit. It allows both Main and Generator breakers to be ON at once. This risks back-feeding the grid or blowing up my generator. PROPERTY DAMAGE: They damaged my siding for fan instillation (un-repaired) cut open my garage drywall for wires (un-repaired). Installed a non insulated access panel to my crawl space causing massive air leaks. Then they attached a high-voltage plug to my siding with just caulk (no flashing). ROOF FAILURE: The metal roof failed in <3 years. All pipe boots cracked, destroying my master bathroom. UNINSURED SUBS: Their subcontractor?s insurance EXPIRED days before the leak. I had to use MY home-owner's insurance to fix the damage. UNETHICAL: Their rep asked me to FALSIFY the leak date to get around the expired insurance. I refused. I filed formal complaints with the VA DPOR & BBB.""

"American Insulation Spray Foam System LLC, a partner of JR Construction, performed work on our 1-1/2 Cape Cod-style house in August 2024. The time between assessing the space, providing the quote, and completing the work was very quick. The work performed was high quality. Richard and Alex worked quickly and efficiently, and were friendly and courteous. The cost was reasonable. We highly recommend them."

FAQs for batt, rolled or reflective insulation install or upgrade projects in Richmond, VA

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.
