Q. What does R-Value Mean?
A. R-Value in a nutshell means “resistance to heat loss”. The higher the R-Value the better.

Q. Do you offer spray foam (urethane) services?
A. We will take on small spray foam details such as rim joists during the summer months when we can ensure the temperature is above 50 degrees. If the project is a whole home or shop please call Homer Foamer for spray foam services.

Q. Can you add insulation behind drywall or siding?
A. Typically, no. Either the drywall or the siding will have to come off first for us to properly do the job.

Q. Can you add insulation over top of our insulation in our attic?
A. In most cases, yes, as long as there is an area large enough for us to work in.

Q. Which is better? Fiberglass or cellulose?
A. They both are great insulators when installed properly. The major difference with cellulose is that is dustier, and less expensive as it is made from recycled paper. Both have fire, mold, and insect resistance. Cellulose will settle in attics and by following manufacturers installation requirements by blowing over the actual amount you want, we compensate for the settling to give you the R-Value you paid for. Fiberglass is much easier to work with from our experience, has less chances of failure,  and thus is our first choice.

Q. Why choose blow in over batts? They offer similar R-Values?
A. No matter how good you install batts, and no matter the R-Value listed on the package, batting has many weaknesses as it does not entirely fill the cavity and in attics there is more stud loss as it does not cover the trusses on the attic side. Blown in completely fills the wall cavity and is blown over top of trusses in the attic, meaning less heat loss through the studs.  In addition the batting can be inconsistent in thickness as it comes out of the package, thus resulting in inconsistent rvalues for a given space.

Q. Do you take credit cards as payment?
A. Yes, but we will have to add a 3% processing fee to the invoice.
