Insulation Contractor in Kimberly, ID - Fewer Drafts, Even Heat Upstairs

Insulation work in Kimberlydone in the right order
We're an insulation contractor based in Jerome, ID, and we work in Kimberly the same way we do there and in Twin Falls. Calls here are usually about a drafty bedroom, a room over the garage that won't stay comfortable, cold floors over a crawl space, or a shop that needs foam.
The price mostly turns on what's already up there and what shape it's in, how much sealing comes first, and foam versus loose fill. The schedule turns on any repair that has to go first and the permit question, and your estimate gives you the plan and your own figure.
Call (208) 544-9045 or send us a note about the room that bothers you, and I'll come out and look.
What we do in Kimberlyfrom the attic to the crawl space
Most Kimberly jobs touch more than one of these, because a cold floor or a hot upstairs room usually has more than one cause.
- Spray foam insulation Foam costs more but seals air as it insulates, so we suggest it when your ductwork runs through the attic.
- Attic insulation Older attics here often hold a few inches of settled fill, so we seal first and then bring the edges up to depth.
- Blown-in insulation Blown-in, meaning loose fill blown through a hose, is a good fit for open attics where the old layer is dry and clean.
- Home insulation When one room is hot upstairs and another is drafty, we look at the attic, walls and floors together.
- Insulation removal If the old fill is soaked or full of droppings, we take it out instead of burying the problem under new material.
- Crawl space insulation Cold floors over a crawl space usually mean the rim and the floor above it need attention.
- Wall insulation Exterior walls in older houses were often built with little in them, and we usually fill them through small holes we patch.
- Air sealing services Gaps around can lights, pipes and the attic hatch get closed before insulation goes in, so it isn't fighting a draft.
- Basement insulation Basement walls and rim joists, where cold air sneaks in along the top of the foundation.
- Closed-cell foam insulation Closed-cell is dense foam that blocks moisture, and it's what we reach for on metal shop walls and roofs.
- Open-cell foam insulation A lighter, softer foam for rooflines and interior walls where moisture isn't the worry and quieter rooms are a bonus.
- Commercial insulation Shops, metal buildings and small commercial spaces around Kimberly, from the wall panels up to the roof.
- Crawl space vapor barrier A ground cover laid across the crawl space so moisture from the soil doesn't climb into the floor framing.
- Vapor barrier installation Put on the right side of the wall for your house, because one on the wrong side can trap moisture.
- Attic air sealing Sealing the attic floor comes first, since it's the step that lets every inch of new insulation do its job.
- Retrofit insulation Adding insulation to a finished, lived-in house, working around the walls, wiring and storage that are already there.
Why Kimberly calls usfor attics, walls and shops
I came back to insulation in 2021 because I missed the work, and the part I like best is showing you how your house works before we touch anything.
The owner writes your estimate
I come out myself, look at the attic, walls or crawl space with you and write the estimate, so the person pricing the job has actually seen it.
You see what's up there
We take photos and go through them with you, so you understand your house well enough to judge our work, and the next contractor's too.
Repairs go first on the plan
Insulation over a leak, a wet spot or bad wiring just hides it, so anything that needs fixing sits at the top of the list.
Our own crew, checked by me
Our own installers do the work, and I check it and walk the finished job with you before we call it done.
Licensed, insured and guaranteed
We're licensed and insured, and satisfaction guaranteed. If there's a room in your house that bothers you, call (208) 544-9045 and I'll come see it.
From your call to walkthroughone step at a time
We keep it simple by doing things in order. You get one plan from the person who looked at your house, and that same person answers your questions along the way.
You call or write
Call (208) 544-9045 or send a note through the form, and tell us what's going on, like a drafty room or a high power bill, so we can set up a visit.
I look at it with you
I come out, look at the attic, walls, basement or crawl space with you, take photos and write up a plan with any fixes at the top.
We do the work in order
Once you say yes, we check with Kimberly's Building Department and handle any permit the job needs. The city needs 24 hours' notice for inspections Monday to Thursday, and Friday calls are normally inspected Monday.
We walk it together
When the work's done and cleaned up, I walk it with you from the hatch to the edges, so you can see the depth and the sealing yourself.
What Kimberly houses needbefore new insulation goes in
These are the problems we find most often in Kimberly attics, crawl spaces and shops, and how we deal with each one.
Old fill that's gone bad
Older houses often have fill that's been soaked or full of droppings, so we pull it out rather than cover it up.
Gaps around lights and pipes
Can lights, plumbing holes and the attic hatch leak warm air upward, so we seal them before any new insulation goes down.
Buried eave vents
When insulation covers the eave vents the attic can't breathe and moisture shows up in the framing, so we keep the air path open.
Deep middle, thin edges
A lot of attics are piled deep in the middle and thin at the edges, which is backward, so we bring the edges up first.
Metal shops that sweat
Metal walls and roofs drip when warm air hits them, so we use closed-cell foam that stops the moisture as it insulates.

Working in Kimberly homesand the shops behind them
Kimberly jobs run from older houses with a few inches of tired fill in the attic to newer homes with a hot room over the garage, plus shops and metal buildings. We bring the same installers and the same order of work to each one, because skipping a step is how problems get hidden.
One thing worth knowing before you hire anyone is that the Idaho Contractors Board registers anyone doing a construction job over $2,000 in materials and labor. A contractor who needs that registration and doesn't have it can't get a building permit, and registered contractors put their number on their contracts, so look for it on any you're handed.
