How to choose insulation contractors

  1. 1

    Ask what R-value you'll end up with

    The goal is a target R-value, not a number of bags. Ask what you have now and what you'll have after.

  2. 2

    Ask about air sealing

    Sealing gaps around lights, pipes and the attic hatch before insulating often matters as much as the insulation.

  3. 3

    Ask about rebates

    Utilities and tax credits often cover part of the cost. Ask what applies and who files the paperwork.

  4. 4

    Check for problems first

    Roof leaks, mold or old knob-and-tube wiring should be fixed before new insulation goes in.

FAQ

Questions about insulation contractors

How do I know I need more insulation?

Uneven room temperatures, high energy bills and visible attic joists are common signs.

Blown-in or spray foam?

Blown-in costs less and suits most attic floors. Spray foam costs more and also seals air leaks.

How long does attic insulation take?

Most attic jobs take a day or less once prep is done.

Should old insulation be removed?

Not always. Wet, moldy or pest-damaged insulation should come out; dry, clean insulation can often stay.

Does it cost anything to use Job Hound?

No. Job Hound is free for homeowners, and pros never pay for leads, so there is no lead fee baked into the price you are quoted.
