We Install Every Kind Of Insulation, So We Do Not Push One
We carry spray foam, cellulose, fiberglass and mineral wool because each one does a job the others do not, and a contractor that sells only one of them will recommend it for everything. Closed cell foam belongs against concrete and steel. Cellulose belongs in an open attic and a closed wall. Batts belong in open framing. Mineral wool belongs where fire and sound matter. When one of those is the right answer for your building, that is the one we recommend, and the reasons are in the written scope.
The Visit Comes Before The Number
The price is written after we have measured the attic depth, checked the walls with a thermal camera, been into the crawl space and looked at what is there now, because a number given over the phone is a guess. The scope that follows names the material, the thickness and the area for each part of the job, and the number in it does not move once the crew arrives. If a part of the work belongs to another trade, such as a roof leak, a wet basement or a bathroom fan venting into the attic, we say so in the scope rather than insulating over it.
Innisfil's Buildings Are Not All The Same, And Neither Is The Work
Innisfil has three kinds of building stock and each one needs a different job. The subdivisions in Alcona and Lefroy and the newer streets off Innisfil Beach Road were insulated to the code of their year and need attic top-ups, air sealing and garage ceilings. The converted cottages along the Lake Simcoe shore from Sandy Cove to Gilford need crawl spaces sealed, shallow walls foamed and cathedral roofs dealt with. The farmhouses, barns and shops around Stroud, Churchill and Cookstown, and the steel buildings at Innisfil Heights, need empty walls filled and steel sealed. We have done all three, and our home page describes each service.
Depth Is Measured And Photographed, Not Promised
Blown-in depth is checked against rulers fixed to the trusses, spray foam thickness is measured as it goes on, and the finished attic or wall is photographed and sent to you with the invoice. That is how you know you received the depth in the scope without climbing the ladder, and it is the paperwork an Ontario rebate application asks for.
Air Sealing And Ventilation Come With Every Attic
We treat air sealing, baffles and insulation as one job in every attic we do, because in a snowbelt town the alternative is an ice dam every February. Warm air leaking through the ceiling is what melts the snow from underneath, and insulation on its own hides the leak without stopping it. Sealing the ceiling and keeping the eaves open is what keeps the roof deck cold and the water off the fascia.
Insurance Covers Every Job, And The Site Is Left Clean
Every job we take on is fully insured, and the policy documents are available at the visit if you want to see them. The work area is protected, the attic or crawl space is vacuumed before we leave, and old material goes out in sealed bags through the hatch or the vacuum hose rather than through the house.
