How to Choose the Right Insulation Contractor

Nov 02, 2021

You might overlook its importance, but home insulation plays a huge role in letting you live a comfortable life. By controlling the temperature of your home, muffling the sounds of the outside world, and keeping out wind and moisture, you’re sure to suffer without it!


If you’ve begun to notice that your home is draftier than usual, it could be a sign that your insulation isn’t as good as it should be. Getting it assessed is a top priority, but there seem to be countless insulation companies out there in Ontario. How do you choose the best? To start, make sure your
home insulation contractor scores well in these areas:


Experience

It goes without saying that experience is important. When hunting for the people who can insulate your home, go for a contractor that’s been specializing in the domain of insulation for a decent number of years.


Reviewing everything they’ve got on their website is a good place to start. Moreover, ask questions to gain further insight! Trustworthy and qualified contractors will have no trouble providing you with clear details about the job.


Reliability

A good starting point when it comes to finding qualified insulation contractors is to simply check what their previous clients have to say about them. References and reviews speak volumes about a service provider’s work ethic and the quality they provide. 


If you’re able to find a company where clients have only good things to say, more than half of your work is already done.


Safety Consciousness

Insulating a home is not something that you should take lightly; it’s a one-time cost that involves a lot of work within the home. At this point, you need to opt for someone who will ensure all the work is done in a safe and effective manner.


Apart from that, always determine whether or not the contractor you hire is licensed and insured. Licensed contractors will be sure to follow all safety regulations, and the insurance will protect you in case an unpleasant situation arises. Always make sure to ask about their license and insurance plans upfront.


Friendliness

Of course, home insulation involves work that will take place on your property. This gives you all the more reason to verify that you’re letting trustworthy and friendly people into your home. 


The right contractors will be focused on providing you with the best service they possibly can. For the same reason, they won’t mind any questions you throw at them—professionals understand that it’s a client’s right to gain as much insight about the job as they want. They’ll also respect your boundaries as well as the rules of your house.

For this 1930’s-built house, a re-roof allowed our crew of trained professionals to spray down into the roof joists from above. The Foam Comfort Crew, along with the careful coordination of a highly skilled roofing crew, allowed the two trades to work seamlessly to prepare the area for insulation, install a 2lb spray foam solution and then to close, seal and shingle the roof. All old homes built in this area had minimal to no insulation in the roofline and attic areas often involved knee walls and dormers, further adding to the complexity. Once the old roof was removed, a cardboard baffle was secured in the joist cavity and then a 2lb medium density spray foam was applied. The 2lb foam is a vapor barrier and will not allow any condensation to form in the roof cavity below as it provides a monolithic barrier. Removing lathe and plaster from the interior is a major and totally disruptive endeavor, so using an exterior method to insulate, such as what was done in this scenario, can significantly reduce the mess and inconvenience to the inhabitants.

Insulating a camper van is essential for creating a comfortable and livable space. It helps regulate temperature, reduce noise, and prevent condensation. Closed-cell spray foam insulation is the most popular insulation option for camper van builds. It provides a high R-value (a measure of insulation effectiveness) and seals all gaps and cracks. Closed-cell spray foam insulation is also waterproof and prevents condensation.
