Getting an Attic Insulation Inspection to Maximize Energy Efficiency in Your Home

Contents

Replacing Old Insulatio with New

Attic insulation inspections by a recommended Elmhurst roofing contractor can be a great idea in some cases. Although you might have replaced or complemented your old insulation just a few years ago, damaged areas can still crop up. As a result, you have to be vigilant when it comes to determining how much additional insulation you may need or what areas of your attic insulation has to be repaired or replaced, in order to avoid high energy costs in the winter.

 

One of the main advantages of having an attic insulation inspection is that you can detect damage and areas in your insulation where heat can escape more easily. Unevenly blown-in insulation patterns and improperly installed insulation sheets can be one of the most prevalent reasons behind these problems.

 

Worn out insulation and extensive damage that cannot be easily detected – especially in your attic or ceiling – can also be very important. If you fail to detect and repair the damage in time, before the winter freezes arrive, you might be in for a terribly cold winter, and your HVAC could even give in.

 

Another good time for having an attic insulation inspection is right before you sell your home. At this time, you have to evaluate any potential strong and weak points to take into account. If, for example, your insulation thickness levels are below par when compared to the amounts required by the building codes in your area, you will be required to install additional insulation before selling.

Professional, Knowledgeable, and stress free is how I would describe my experience with Roof One. From first call, a representative actually answers the phone with a friendly welcome. Jason was prompt and quick to come out and give a detailed consultation. Antonio’s crew was amazing! Not only were they on time, but a few minutes early. They made sure to walk me through the process and didn’t leave until the job was complete. Scott helped work with my insurance adjuster and went out of his way to make sure I was completely satisfied. Bill and Sandra in the office treated me like family and Steve, the owner, was very kind and welcomed me to the Roof One family. Phenomenal Job Roof One, my family and I couldn’t be happier - Thank you!

From the beginning to the end, Roof one really impressed me regarding their professionalism when roofing my house. In particular Steve and Mark managed this job wonderfully. The crew they sent over did such a wonderful quality job and made sure my property was free of nails and debris. I would definitely hire this company for a roof job. Very straight forward with their prices and options. I was also grateful they hooked up vent fans and provided a gorgeous flashing for my large chimney. Good job guys! Wish there were more contractors like you!
