Attic Insulation

Tropical Insulation did an amazing job!
Gino was at our house to top up the insulation in our attic and my husband and I are absolutely delighted with the work done.
He treated our attic as if it was his own home and did a wonderful job. I appreciate the amazing price I received me on the insulation, the time taken by the V.P. Breen to answer all my questions, and the great work done by Gino and the crew.
I will definitely be recommending Tropical Insulation to family,
friends and neighbors!

Attic Insulation

I'm quite shocked at the other reviews as I got the exact opposite.

To begin, the sales person (Gerry/Jerry?) that came to do the estimate was highly disorganized and called me for directions at least 3 times (probably more). He only popped his head into my attic and didn't do much of an inspection. I probably should have just cut my losses there, but I trusted all the other ratings on here and decided to proceed (especially since he said he has nothing to do with the installation process).

After a couple business days, I got a call to book a time. The booking person (Walter?) seemed organized and accommodating relative to the salesperson so I thought I was in good hands. We decided on a time between 10am-12pm and I booked a half-day off work (where I am paid hourly). On the day of, nobody arrived or called by 12pm so I called Tropical twice to try to find out what was going on. On the second call, they said they weren't sure so they'd call me back at which point I mentioned I had to get to work. By 12:50pm, I hadn't heard back so I left to go to work. On the way to work around 1:10pm I finally got a VM on my phone saying they'd be there in 30 minutes (which was obviously too late). Unfortunately taking a full day off work wasn't an option for me. No apology or anything.

Just an insight into how they treat their customers. Hope nobody else has to go through what I did.

Dear Valued Customer,
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience that we may have caused. We always endeavour to provide the best product and service, striving to mitigate and resolve any issues which arise. Our installer Gino, did try to contact you several times and explain that due to circumstances beyond our control he would be arriving late. Our VP of Operations has also tried to contact you on two occasions with no success, leaving you two voicemails.
Again, we do apologize and would like to reiterate that we do maintain a high level of service and quality.

Attic Insulation

After receiving several quotes, I chose Tropical based on the reviews. Even though they quoted me for less square footage, when they came to estimate the real footage, it was higher; and still they gave me the original quote given to me over the phone. How many companies do that?

Gino and Quincy showed up on time and placed plastic sheeting on the stairs and also wrapped the hose in plastic to minimize dust.

I looked in the attic after the job was done and the insulation was well above the rafters.

Cleanup was good.

I would definitely recommend this company.

Top-up insulation to R50

Our inspection recommended increasing insulation in our attic from R20 to R50. In addition, we needed the soffit vents checked and the hatch-door insulated.

After several interviews, we chose Howard and Tropical Insulation.

Best as I can tell, the work was completed and to the proper amount.

To earn a 10, we would have liked a better clean-up job (or at least warning about the debris). Also accurate scheduling would have been appreciated. (They told us the people would come in 2 hours earlier than they were scheduled)

Overall, I would recommend Tropical and we would use them again.

Thank you for your review. I will discuss clean up process with my installer to ensure more thorough cleaning next time. When there are cancellations, the installer will then arrive earlier to the next job. We will call the home owners to let them know.

Insulation

Following the work from Tropical Insulation, my furnace comes on a lot less frequently. I was always worried about getting the attic insulated. I thought that it would require a lot preparation on my end and a lot of cost. When Tropical Insulation and Rob Williams came to the house, everything was seamless. The insulation was completed without any inconvenience and the immediate results were astounding. My furnace was running 24/7. I now wait for it to kick in. It has made a huge difference. Thank you Tropical Insulation.

Attic insulation upgrade

We moved into a new home and the furnace seemed to be on all the time. My husband took a peek in the attic and we realized there was not enough insulation. A friend recommended Tropical Insulation to come and add some insulation to the attic. A rep from Tropical (Rob) came and gave us an estimate, and explained everything about their product and the importance of good insulation. A few days later he returned and blew insulation into the attic so that we now have R50 up there. They were very clean, fast, and professional. Since the new insulation was added the upstairs is MUCH warmer and the furnace is on way less.
