    Winter and Summer Review (Attic insulation)

    Writing this review about a year after the service was provided to provide a fair assessment. Purchased a five-year-old house and everything looked great, R-40 in the attic, vapor barrier and sealed pot lights. Unfortunately, although everything looked good, the comfort level in the house was not acceptable as the second floor was too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer. Summer results – Second floor used to be somewhere between 3 and 5 degrees warmer than the ground floor and I would hit a thermal layer as I walked up the stairs (I have air conditioning). I was running an array of fans to keep the newborn baby’s room at an acceptable temperature. Now the temperature difference is less than 0.5 degrees. Winter results – No more ice damming or 3 foot icicles dangling above the side door/ baby stroller entrance. No longer need to run any extra heaters or electric blanket. Customer service was excellent. I was skeptical and I wasn’t going to just use them just because Mike Holmes using them. I still got four quotes for the job, read everything on the internet and asked lots of questions.. I’m a fairly handy guy having finished a few basements myself. Jeremy was the only rep that could answer all my questions. Service was performed over 3 days, old insulation removal, spray foam, new blow in insulation on top of spray foam. Crews showed up early each day, left everything clean. Would I use them again? Yes, I’ll be calling them to do a shed.

    Attic Suck Out and Spray Foam Install

    I live in a 800sq.ft East York bungalow with an unventilated hip roof (there are four roof vents but no soffit to let air in). I contracted InstaInsulation to vacuum out the vermiculite and blown-in insulation (which I had flattened every time I went in the attic to replace wiring; route speaker wire; install lights; etc. and thus lost all R value) and then apply spray foam to the rafters. During our consultation Jeremy S. from Insta recommended that when I have my roof shingles replaced I should ask the roofers to remove the four vents and close off the holes. I promptly received a reasonable estimate for both jobs and as soon as my roof was replaced Jeremy had the scheduler contact me to arrange the dates. Since the job was scheduled for a Saturday I was concerned my job would be done by their B-team. The crew that came was on time, competent and efficient. As a picky consumer I was quite pleased with the outcome of both jobs. Thanks Insta-Insulation!

    Answer from pro:

    Hello Razor! We're super happy to hear that, in cooperation with your roofer, we were able to get your attic in tip-top shape once and for all! Now you can rest easy and relax this summer knowing that your investment is working hard to keep the heat out and leave your living space cool and comfortable. No more working over time for your AC! On behalf of the gang here at Insta, a SINCERE thank you for your kind review and we couldn't be happier to know that you're pleased with your project! Stay cool! Crystal - Customer Care

    Attic Insulation

    Crew was 10min early then scheduled 8am which is great for us. Crew able to identify the leak area for us to take action after the insulation with other vendor. Without it, we will never climb up to attic to see what's going on. Crew lay out the clean ground sheet in order for the blown pipe to be ran from its truck to the Attic without dirty our carpet. Covered our hang clothes that was left on the bed to avoid dust without us telling them to.

    Answer from pro:

    Hello Jasper! So now you know too - you can always count on your Insta crew! :) Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience with our crew.

    Garage Ceiling and Ducting

    The bedroom above the garage was cold in the winter and hot in the summer. It is now going to be warmer and cooler in the proper seasons thanks to a insta-Insulation. The ductwork going up to the bedroom and the ceiling /floor joists were spray foamed efficiently and professionally. Best Regards Leave It To Beevor Contracting

    Great Service

    I had Insta, remove vermiculite, completely re insulate my attic and do some spray foam work for me during major renovation. The service was great during that project. As things always, happen, I had a leak this past winter and was worried about the insulation in the attic. When I reached out to my Insta adviser, Jason, about what it would cost to inspect the insulation, he offered to come over at no charge. Thankfully nothing was damaged during the leak, but after sales service such as that shows the true color of a company. Thanks Insta!!!!

    Answer from pro:

    Hello Tom! When you invest in the Insta-Insulation team, you're investing for the long haul! Our philosophy is that problems are always going to arise from time to time but it's how you handle them that counts. I'm so happy to hear that Jason was able to inspect your spray foam work and confirm that no harm was done by your leak! It was a pleasure working with you on your attic project and now you'll always know we're just a phone call away if you need us! Tom, a sincere thank you for sharing this experience with others and for putting your trust in the Insta team. Wishing you ongoing comfort and peace of mind with your insulation work.

    Wow, a company that actually provides customer service.

    I'm not an easy client to deal with. I ask a lot of questions and take my time before committing to spend 5k on a project. Out of the countless companies I called, Bruce Jackson of Insta-Insulation was the only rep happy to take the time to answer my questions. He came to my house twice before the project. Even more impressive is that he came after the project was completed (after payment was made). I find that very few companies actually focus on creating a good customer experience. That is why I decided to create an account on this site and write this review. I should also mention that the finished product was amazing. However, it was the customer service that was truly exceptional.

    Answer from pro:

    Hello Anthony! As you can guess by my title, customer service is extremely near and dear to my heart so your incredible account of your experience with Bruce and our company has left me jumping for joy! For me, the hope of delivering work that earns fantastic feedback like yours is what gets me out of bed each morning and I'm pretty sure I can speak for Bruce here too! Anthony, thank you so much for choosing to put your trust in the Insta-Insulation team with your hard earned dollars. We are very grateful for your business and your exceptional review of our efforts! I am confident you will remain as happy with our services in the years to come, as you are right now! Sincerely, Crystal - Customer Care

    Home Insulation

    Absolutely best value. 60 year old house, no vapor barrier 20 pot lights, always winter ice dams. Removed old insulation, booted the pots, sprayed the plaster, vented all soffits, upgraded attic vents, fixed bathroom exhausts, fixed faulty plumbing vents, and blew in new cellulose insulation. No more ice dams, no more damp drywall in bathrooms, quieter, winter/warmer, summer/cooler house. Highly recommended - this review is written 9 months after the job, because i wanted to see it through a winter before what I expected to be a glowing review and I was not disappointed.

    Answer from pro:

    Hello Happy Customer from Mississauga!

    Insulation On New Custom Home

    While building our new home my wife and I met many contractors. We highly recommend Alex and his team for all your insulation needs. They are professional, prompt, clean and extremely knowledgeable. They ensure the job is done right. Insta-Insulation was responsible for spray foaming all the wall cavities on each floor(basement, main and second). The floor joist ends. Full blown in cellulose for the attic. They were very thorough on how they applied all the accoustic seal and the poly with the batts on the tray ceilings ensuring that it was done correctly. The temperature is very consistent throughout the whole house. The spray foam is definitely worth the extra cost. We have the same energy bills as our old bungalow which was half the size.

    Answer from pro:

    Hello Tom! Wow! How fantastic to receive your wonderful words about our work! We know how stressful a new home build can be so our goal is to ensure that each member of our team from Alex on down instills the confidence and delivers the peace of mind that your home and family are in good hands with Insta-Insulation. As you have indicated, the results speak for themselves when you have the right team on the job and we are incredibly grateful for the investment you have made in our services. Thank you for taking the time out of a very busy schedule to give us your feedback and we couldn't be more pleased with the success of your project! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness in your new home! Sincerely, Crystal - Customer Care
