Insulation work we dofrom the attic to the crawl space
Foam sprayed into walls, rooflines and rim joists, where it fills the gaps and insulates in the same pass.
For a hot upstairs, we check how many inches are already up there and bring the attic to an even depth with no thin spots.
Loose fill blown through a hose to top up an attic or fill closed walls, often the simplest fix that works.
The whole house, attic to crawl space, planned together so a drafty room gets fixed at its source.
We pull out old insulation that got soaked or filled with droppings, because new material over it just keeps the problem.
Cold floors usually start underneath. We insulate the crawl space so the rooms over it hold their heat.
Outside walls with little or nothing in them get filled, usually through small holes we patch, so the drywall stays put.
Air sealing closes the gaps where air sneaks through, around pipes, wires and the foundation edge, so insulation isn't fighting a draft.
For a basement you use or plan to finish, we insulate the walls so the room holds its heat.
Closed-cell foam is dense foam that also blocks moisture, a good fit for metal buildings and crawl space walls.
A lighter, softer foam that seals air and dulls sound, used mostly in walls and rooflines that stay dry.
For shops and metal buildings, we plan around how you use the space and walk you through it like we would a homeowner.
A heavy plastic sheet over the crawl space dirt keeps ground moisture down there instead of in your floor framing.
Walls, basements and shops get a vapor barrier, a layer that stops moisture, where it would otherwise work into the insulation and stay.
Before the attic gets more insulation, we close the holes between it and the rooms below, so warm air stays downstairs.
Insulation added to a house you already live in, usually an older one, planned around what's in the walls and attic now.
Most jobs combine a few of these, repairs and sealing first. Size, old material to remove and how hard the space is to reach set the price and schedule, and I write yours up on site.

Why Jerome homeowners call usabout drafts and high bills
Working with us feels more like a lesson than a sales pitch, because I'd rather you understand your house than take my word for it.
Your attic explained before we start
If there's a gap at the hatch or a water stain on the roof boards, I show you and explain it, so each step in the plan makes sense.
Leaks and old wiring come first
We check for water, old wiring and suspect old insulation before anything new goes in, because insulation over a problem just hides it.
Told when a simpler job will do
Foam, blown-in or something else gets picked by what fits your space, and if topping up what's there is enough, that's what I'll recommend.
Our own installers, checked by me
The crew in your attic works for us, and I look over what they did before I walk the job with you.
Full depth at the edges, vents open
Attics often end up deep in the middle and thin at the edges, so we carry the depth out and keep the eave vents clear so the attic breathes.
Enough know-how to judge any contractor
I'd like you to understand your house well enough to check our work, and to ask the next contractor the right questions too.

Insulation questions we hear
How much does insulation cost in Jerome, ID?
It depends on the size of the space, how many inches are already up there and what has to happen before new insulation goes in, so I give you your figure after seeing the house. Pulling out soaked or dirty old material or sealing a lot of gaps adds to the price. Call (208) 544-9045 and I'll come take a look.
Why do insulation estimates vary so much between contractors?
Usually because they're pricing different jobs, one including removal and air sealing and another just blowing more on top. Ask each contractor what happens to the old material, the gaps into the attic and the eave vents, so you're comparing the same work.
How long will the insulation crew be in my attic, and do we have to leave?
It depends on how big the space is and whether old insulation has to come out first, and I'll tell you what to expect on your job when I write the plan. Blown-in work usually lets you stay home, while spray foam means you, the kids and the pets stay out until its re-entry time, the wait before it's safe to come back in, and I'll go over that wait before we start.
Is your insulation company in Jerome licensed and insured?
Yes, we're licensed and insured. Any contractor you let into your house should be able to say the same, so it's a fair question to ask everyone who bids.
Should I get air sealing before adding attic insulation?
Yes, seal first, because insulation slows heat but doesn't stop air, so gaps around can lights, pipes and the hatch keep pushing air through the new layer. Once those gaps are buried, they're much harder to reach.
Do you guarantee your insulation work?
Our promise is satisfaction guaranteed. The final walkthrough is where you look over the job with me and ask about anything that doesn't look right to you.
Is spray foam better than blown-in insulation for an attic?
Usually not for a plain attic floor, because sealing the gaps and topping up blown-in fill does most of what foam does for less money. Foam costs more and seals air while it insulates, so it earns its price when your ductwork runs through the attic.
Do I need a permit for insulation work in Jerome, ID?
Ask the city's Building Department, because Jerome's permit list names work like additions, basement finishes and roof decking but doesn't say either way about insulation. Insulation is one of the inspections the city lists for permitted work, so we check with the office that covers your address, and if your job needs a permit, we handle the application and set up the inspections.
