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!

Common Question in Richmond

How much does blown-in attic insulation cost

Blown-in fiberglass runs $1.50 to $3.00 per square foot installed in Richmond, so a typical 1,200-square-foot attic costs $1,800 to $3,600 total. The wide price range depends on the R-value you need for Madison County winters and how easy your attic is to access. Get quotes that specify the R-value, because cheaper bids often mean thinner coverage that won't keep your heating bills down.

Trusted by Government Agencies, Universities & Major Corporations

Most homes around Richmond were built when asbestos was the standard for pipe insulation, floor tiles, and siding. If you live in an older home near Eastern Kentucky University or out toward Fort Boonesborough, you've probably got asbestos somewhere in the walls or basement. The biggest jobs we see are in houses from the 1940s through 1970s where homeowners find those nine-inch floor tiles or wrapped boiler pipes during renovations. You can't just rip that stuff out yourself.

We've been running asbestos removal jobs across Madison County for decades, working with the same general contractors on university projects and residential renovations. Our crews know every neighborhood from Sycamore Park to the older sections near downtown Richmond. Most of our work comes through contractors like Messer and Turner who've seen us handle everything from single-family basements to major university buildings. If you're dealing with asbestos in your home, we're the crew your contractor is going to call anyway.
