About our insulation contractor crew in Gastonia
Why I work on houses people already live in
I spent my first years insulating new houses for builders. The walls are open, the attic is empty and nobody has moved in yet, so it's tidy work. In 2013 I started this business in Gastonia to work on the other kind of house, the kind with furniture in the way, an attic full of boxes and a family downstairs wondering what the noise is.
Most of our calls start with a cold room, a high power bill or a crawl space you'd rather not look at. What I learned early is that order matters, because insulation laid over a leak or a wet spot just hides the problem until it costs you more. I'd rather tell you something needs fixing first than bury it. We're based in Gastonia and work in the cities around it on both sides of the state line, and you can see everything we work on from attic to basement. If something in your house feels off, send us a note or call (980) 745-0005.
What it's like to hire us
We fix what's wrong before insulation goes in
If the old insulation is soaked or full of droppings, or there's a leak above it, we deal with that first so you're not paying to cover up a problem. Sometimes that means telling you about a repair you didn't call us for.
You deal with me from estimate to finish
I come out to look at your house myself and write the estimate, so the person pricing the job is the one who climbed into your attic. Our own crew does the work, and I check it before we call it done.
We work like someone lives there
We came up building houses nobody had moved into yet, so we know to protect your floors, work around your boxes and keep the mess out of your living room. If a job uses spray foam, we'll tell you the re-entry time, meaning when you, the kids and the pets can come back in, before we start.
How we go about the work
Whole house
We look at the attic, walls, crawl space and basement on one visit, because a cold floor upstairs can start somewhere you didn't think to check.
What's up there
We check how many inches you already have and whether it's dry and clean, so you know if it can stay or has to come out.
Seal first
We close the gaps around lights, pipes and the attic hatch before adding insulation, so the new material isn't fighting a draft all winter.
Edges and vents
We keep the eave vents clear so the attic can breathe, and we get full depth out to the edges, where coverage is usually thinnest.
Permits handled
When a job needs a permit, we find which offices cover your address, like the City and Gaston County in Gastonia, and handle the paperwork before work starts.
