Common Question in Madisonville

My house is freezing and energy bills are sky high

Those doubled heating bills hit especially hard in Madisonville's older homes from the coal boom days, where original insulation has settled or disappeared entirely. Start by checking your attic with a flashlight — if you can see the wooden floor joists poking through, you're losing most of your heat straight through the roof. Adding R-38 to R-60 blown insulation typically cuts heating costs enough to pay for itself within three winters.

What Our Customers Say

★★★★★
THEY DID A GOOD JOB AND I THOUGHT THE PRICE WAS REASONABLE.
Norman D.· Angi
★★★★★
I worked with Kevin Con, their field specialist. Kevin talked to me over the phone for quite awhile to make sure that I had a good estimate and knowledge of the procedure. The team came out early and they were efficient in the processes. I would highly recommend them especially because they worked so closely with our roofing team to get the job done in one day.
Raymond F.· Angi
★★★★★
I am just so happy. They came out on a Tuesday (the owner Steve and his son) and took a look and had a crew of 2 out for me the next day! They got there at 8:30 am and all was completed by 2:00. The follow up was excellent. I could just go on and on. I am very impressed and want to insulate everything NOW because they were so excellent!

Trusted by Government Agencies, Universities & Major Corporations

Most homes in Hopkins County date back to the coal boom era, when Madisonville was a rail hub connecting the region's mines. If you live in one of those older houses near downtown or off the main corridors leading to I-69, there's a good chance you're dealing with asbestos somewhere. It might be in the boiler insulation, the pipe wrap in your basement, or those 9-inch floor tiles that were standard in kitchens back then. The problem isn't just removing it. It's doing it right so your family stays safe and you don't create a bigger mess.

We've been running asbestos abatement crews through Western Kentucky since the late 1980s, back when most contractors wouldn't touch this work. Our partnerships with Turner Construction and Messer Construction have put us on jobs at major universities like Ohio State and UC for over thirty years. Most weeks you'll see our trucks heading out to schools, hospitals, or older commercial buildings around Hopkins County where someone finally decided to deal with what's been hiding in the walls. If you're staring at suspect materials in your basement or attic, you're probably not the first person on your street to make that call.
