BLOWN-IN FIBERGLASS

We specialize in blown-in fiberglass and we strongly recommend our vapor barrier services to protect your insulation, structure, and interior finish. We can do the following with blown in insulation:

    • Exterior Walls
    • Attics
    • Floors
    • Interior Walls

BATT INSULATION

We highly recommend our blown fiberglass service over batts as we can give you better r-values and peace of mind.

However, blown fiberglass is not always within the budget and/or feasible for every project. We can install fiberglass batts and mineral wool/rockwool batts.

VAPOR BARRIER

After we have insulated your project, we will install a 6 mil poly vapor barrier over your insulation and seal it up with a rubber-like vapor seal on all the edges and seams. 

Commercial projects and rocky crawlers we use 10 mil.

In addition to providing a vapor barrier on your exterior surfaces we can install vapor barrier on your crawlspace floor to keep odors out of your home and your crawlspace dry.

We can take care of your rim joist when we come to insulate your project and can also do smaller crawlspaces. Call Homer Foamer for full home and shop spray foam services.

NEW! DRYWALL HANGING

We can help you hang drywall up to the mud on the screws. Beyond that we have a few mud and tape experts that we can refer you to and that we work on a regular basis!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

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. 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. Yes, as long as the insulation is not contaminated with mold. Before we do that however, we will need to do a walk through and make sure that airflow is sufficient, that any problems are discovered and a plan made to correct it. In the case that you have iffy insulation, we will always recommend that we remove it before installing fresh insulation. 

Q. Which is better? Fiberglass or cellulose?
A. In our experience, ALL insulation types have their uses, however with cellulose, we find it to be troublesome over time, especially when moisture is occurring. The product itself is made with recycled paper and cardboard, which, isn’t the most sanitary option. We prefer to use fiberglass or rockwool as during the manufacturing process, it’s sterilized with heat. We refuse to use cellulose as we do not wish to contaminate our equipment and we won’t feel good about the install at all,  knowing it’s just likely to rot over time or settle.

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. We will install them, especially for homeowners or contractors on an extremely tight budget, but just know it’s not our first choice.

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