Our insulation contractor work in Newport News, VA
Spray foam insulation
Spray foam goes on wet and expands into every gap it touches, so it seals air while it insulates, which matters most when your ductwork runs through the attic. It costs more than loose fill, and you'll be out of the house until the re-entry time, the wait before you can come back inside, has passed.
Attic insulation
Hot upstairs all summer, or a power bill that keeps climbing? We check how many inches are already in your attic, seal the gaps, then bring the coverage up evenly, including out at the edges where most attics run thin.
Blown-in insulation
Blown-in insulation is loose fill we blow through a hose, and it settles into corners and around framing that batts can't reach. We keep it back from the eave vents so the attic can still breathe.
Home insulation
We look at the whole house, attic, walls and crawl space, and fix the weakest spot first. The price turns on how much of the house we cover, what's already there and whether old material has to come out, the schedule turns on how much has to happen before we insulate, and your free on-site estimate spells out what I found and what comes first.
Insulation removal
Insulation that got soaked or filled with droppings has to come out before anything new goes in, or the problem just stays under the fresh layer. We bag the old material, clean the space and leave it ready for new insulation.
Crawl space insulation
Cold floors over a crawl space usually mean the insulation under them has fallen down or was never there. We put it back between the floor joists, and if we find a plumbing leak or standing water, we tell you before we cover anything.
Wall insulation
Older houses often have walls with little or nothing inside them. We fill closed walls through small holes and patch them, so you get warmer rooms without tearing out your walls.
Air sealing services
Air sealing means closing the gaps around pipes, wiring, can lights and the attic hatch before any insulation goes in. It's usually the first thing a drafty house needs, because insulation can't do its job with air pulling through it.
Basement insulation
We insulate basement walls and the rim joists along the top of the foundation so the room downstairs stops feeling like a cellar. In a finished basement, we talk through what's behind the walls with you before anything gets opened up.
Closed-cell foam insulation
Closed-cell foam is the dense kind that also blocks moisture, so it's what we reach for under floors, on rim joists and in spots that stay damp. It's the stiffer and pricier of the two foams.
Open-cell foam insulation
Open-cell foam is softer and lighter, and it fills awkward spaces like rooflines and the room over the garage. It seals air well but lets moisture through, so we don't use it where water is the problem.
Commercial insulation
We insulate rental units, small offices and other light commercial buildings for landlords and property managers. We plan the work around your tenants so the building keeps running while we're there.
Crawl space vapor barrier
A crawl space vapor barrier is a heavy plastic sheet laid over the dirt and up the walls, so ground moisture stops rising into your floor framing. We look for the source of the damp first, because a barrier won't fix a gutter or drainage problem.
Vapor barrier installation
Is moisture getting into your walls, attic or under the house? We put the barrier where your house actually needs it, since one in the wrong spot can trap water instead of stopping it.
Attic air sealing
Before we add a single inch up top, we seal the attic floor around can lights, plumbing stacks, wiring holes and the hatch. That keeps the air you paid to heat or cool from leaking up into the attic.
Retrofit insulation
Retrofit insulation adds to a finished house without a remodel, whether that's topping up the attic, filling walls or insulating under floors. We measure what's already there first, so we're adding to what you have instead of guessing.

Why Newport News homeowners work with us
I look before quoting
I come out to every job myself and get into the attic, the walls and the crawl space before I give you a number. That way the estimate covers what's really there and what has to happen first, and I check the finished work with you at the end.
Problems named, not covered
If I find old wiring, a roof leak or insulation that needs a different kind of firm, I tell you plainly and we plan around it. New insulation laid over a problem only hides it until it costs you more.
Your part in writing
You get a written plan in plain words that covers your part too, like clearing out attic storage or planning time away from the house. When a job needs a permit, we apply for it as the licensed contractor and set up the inspections with the local office.
Read how I got into this work, or send me a few details about your house and I'll get back to you within one business day.
