    Insulate a Cold Storage Room in basement

    I found Insta-Insulation to be a very professional company. Their staff are very pleasant and knowledgeable. The work was completed as quoted and on time. Great work....Great Company. I strongly recommend Insta-Insulation as the insulation company of choice. Thanks for a job well done.

    Answer from pro:

    Hello Roy! Your glowing recommendation is certainly our greatest reward - THANK YOU! To me, the key word in your kind review is "CHOICE". The fact is, we've got some great competitors our there, and we know you have a choice. Products, price, availability - some may believe that this is where the choice lies. But how is the decision made when those factors are relatively equal? We believe it's always about the people - people you can trust to take care of your home as if it were their own. In your words, "pleasant, knowledgeable people" who believe in the famous words of Sam Walton, "There is only one boss. The customer. And he can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else." I've said it before and I'll say it again, to our team here at Insta, we view a Homestars review the way an entertainer views winning the People's Choice Award. We can't thank you enough for your vote today, Roy! Sincerely, Crystal - Customer Care

    Attic Insulation Removal & Refresh

    I would just like to say thank you for your services for our insulation. We were very pleased with your work, your communications and the flexibility. The men who came to the house each day were courteous and we never had a problem with them. I would highly recommend Insta-Insulation to friends and family who are looking into having insulation work done. Gayle Tremblay

    Answer from pro:

    Hello Gayle! We would just like to say "YOU'RE WELCOME"! And in turn we will thank you for your kind words and for putting your trust in our team to remove and refresh your attic insulation. At the end of an unseasonably cool summer, and a fall that seems to be following suit (I've already had to turn my furnace on!), I don't think you could have picked a better time to insulate and start saving on those energy bills! No matter what fuel you use to heat your home, you burn more of it when it gets colder (and windier). The math is pretty straightforward - when the thermometer goes down, the cost of comfort goes up. Fortunately, the solution is pretty straightforward too: if you need to burn money to fight the cold weather, find a way to burn less of it to get the same result. And the way to do that is investing in a well insulated home. Thank you for sharing the news of our service with family and friends, Gayle. Your kindness warms our hearts and we're certain your investment in Insta-Insulation will keep your home toasty warm for many winters to come. Sincerely, Crystal - Customer Care

    insulation

    The people at Insta-Insulation provided a good quote which we accepted. They then showed up on the day of the installation with a professional crew and proceeded to do the job as quoted. They cleaned up after themselves and left with a job well done.

    Answer from pro:

    Hello Don! When it comes to your insulation project, we don't mess around - literally! We know your time is valuable and if we can't make it easy for you to do business with us, then we haven't done our job! Fair estimate - check; professional install - check; delivered as promised - check; no fuss, no mess - check; lower heating bills this winter - oh yeah!! Thank you for choosing Insta-Insulation and for letting others know how easy it is to have a more comfortable home this winter! We appreciate your business, Don! Sincerely, Crystal - Customer Care

    Basement Spray Foam Project

    Hello Theresa: I just wanted to pass on a note to your company regarding the installation on Aug 29th in Maple Ontario. The 2 installers, Chris and Erin were GREAT. They were very professional in their work and left the jobsite in pristine condition. Additionally, they were required to crawl under a subfloor for the Laundry Room of which I don’t know how they did it. Also, the initial meeting with Brandon needs to be mentioned as if it were not for his attention to detail, charm and smooth selling techniques, this project would have never taken place. Also, during the scheduling phase, Andrew was sure to keep me informed of the dates, times and if there were any delays. All and all it was a GREAT job everyone did and I will be in contact to complete the second part of the quotation and I will insist to have Chris and Erin return as the installers. Thanks again for a job well done Warmest Regards, Ross

    Answer from pro:

    Hello Ross! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this wonderful note of thanks to Theresa in our Accounting department, and subsequently giving us permission to post this as a review on Homestars.com so that others can learn of your positive experience with our team! How incredible that you have so carefully taken the time to learn the names of, and acknowledge each member of our team, who was involved in making your project a success. We are humbled by your enthusiasm and care. We all strive very hard to hit home with delivering a feeling that we are "people taking care of people". As for Chris and Erin, I'm sure they will be more than pleased to return to complete the second part of your work after such a rave review! Who could refuse?!?! Are you not familiar with our "Ballad of the Unsung Heroes of Insulation"? Here's a little clip for you. Perhaps you can persuade Chris and Erin to sing for you next time too! Ha! :) Blame it all on our roots, We show up in boots, With hoses we haul up your stairs. The last ones to know, But the first ones to show, For a job through a hatch 2 feet square. And we see the surprise, And the fear in your eyes, As we wiggle through without pain. And we smile at you Said, friend, we made it through And you’ll never hear us complain..... ‘Cause you’ve got friends in tight spaces, Where the cellulose blows, And the spray foam seals the cold away, Now there’s lower heating bills to pay. We’re not big on fuss and praises, Think we’ll slip on down and sweep the place, Oh, you’ve got friends in tight spaces! A sincere thanks from the whole team for your business, Ross! It's been a pleasure working with you and we look forward to the remainder of the project! Crystal - Customer Care

    Garage ,spray foam

    Recently seen Insta installation sponsoring the side of a race car so I decided to give them a call. The quote I received was much slower than other competitors. It was actually the company owner that came out to spray foam he was the same guy you see Mike Holmes I thought I was on the episode of undercover boss I was looking for it and cameras. All areas were protected were no foam was to go very good cleanup very friendly service. It is nice to have a company to come in and visit after the job is over just grab your money and run.

    Answer from pro:

    Hello Dave! I would like to say that slow and steady wins the race, but that certainly doesn't apply to stock cars nor does it apply to the speed at which an estimate should be delivered. With that said, I'll start with a big THANK YOU for keeping Insta in the race for your spray foam project, and apologize for our faulty start! Your account of your experience with Alex, our owner, as your spray foam installer is quite comical - thank you for the chuckle! As you discovered, Alex can be quite entertaining and enjoys the spot light, but as you also learned, behind the scenes he is all business with laser focus on delivering as promised. This here's no "story 'bout Billy Joe and Bobby Sue", Alex may live vicariously to Steve Miller Band's "Take the Money and Run" during his racing trials, but never when it comes to performing for his customers - you may even have trouble getting him to leave! :) Dave, thanks so much for choosing us to help with the insulation project in your garage! We appreciate you sharing both the good news and identifying the opportunities where we can improve. Sincerely, Crystal - Client Care

    Insulation of crawl space, basement and two exterior walls

    Like many people in the greater Toronto area this past winter, we experienced freezing pipes in our home for the very first time. After extensive research, we called Insta-Insulation. Alex Schuts impressed us from the moment he arrived. He handed us detailed literature about his product, listened intently as we described the challenge, took a detailed tour of all affected areas. He was polite, professional, detail-oriented from the get-go and took the time to explain each step we would have to take to tackle the problem. Later, his team, lead by Brandon Crabb, arrived on time and - like Alex - they were friendly, efficient and totally focused on doing the very best job possible. Everything that Alex had discussed with us was done with absolute precision. If there is a single word that would describe Alex and his hardworking crew, I'd say "integrity." We couldn't be more pleased. We would recommend Insta-Insulation without hesitation to anyone who is serious about preparing for another difficult winter. Our thanks to Alex, Brandon and the entire Insta-Insulation team.

    Answer from pro:

    Hello Mary! It is sheer joy to receive such a rave review from a happy customer! On behalf of Alex, Brandon, and the whole team, we can't thank you enough for your articulate and kind-hearted account of your experience with our company. You have done a wonderful job of demonstrating that making a purchase decision and the resulting sale, is truly a process. And that process starts with identifying a need for a product or service i.e. freezing pipes is a pretty compelling need! As next steps, you mentioned your research to find the right service-provider, the meeting with Alex to investigate the problem and recommend a solution, which led to your purchase decision and ultimately your installed product by Brandon and the rest of the install team. What really resonated with me upon reading your comments was the fact that it was likely our marketing i.e. the information you read on our web site, and perhaps our association with Mike Holmes and Bryan Baeumler that prompted your call to us, BUT, it was what we DID - not what we SAID - that prompted this review. I read something recently that said "marketing is not about what you say, it's about what you do, and how you act when people aren't looking." I think when what your marketing says, matches what you do, that's where integrity is born. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to live up to our words, Mary! It is our sincere pleasure to be able to work with fantastic customers like you and be part of making your home a more comfortable place to enjoy this winter, and all year round. Sincerely, Crystal - Customer Care

    Garage renovation

    On the scheduled day, the Insta-Insulation team arrived at our house early, did the job professionally, and the final product was exactly what we hoped for. We were very pleased with the work that was done and would be happy to recommend them to our family and friends. We also greatly appreciate the donation to SickKids for this review as it is a place that is very important to our family. Thank you.

    Answer from pro:

    Hello Antonia! We are very flattered by your thoughtful comments about our people, product, and process. What a pleasure to hear that we delivered exactly as you had hoped! We always aim to please but often don't get the opportunity to hear if we've hit the mark so thank you for taking the time to tell us, and others, that we got it right. :) It was a pleasure working as part of your team to renovate your garage and we are thrilled to be able to donate $10 to the SickKids hospital for your review. When you care enough to post your thoughts on Homestars.com, we want to be able to pay that forward and SickKids such an incredibly worthy cause. Thank you for your business, Antonia, and enjoy your newly renovated garaged! Sincerely, Crystal - Customer Care

    attic

    My attic on 2 levels needed more insulation so my neighbour next door recommended insta-insulation.I was extremely happy with their work & would recommend them to anyone.They were punctual,clean & the price was good.

    Answer from pro:

    Hello Kay! There is nothing more heartwarming to our team than to earn a new customer by referral from a family member, friend, or neighbour. We know we've got it right when someone trusts us enough to recommend us to others so in addition to a BIG THANK YOU to you for your business, I'd also like to give a big shout out to your neighbour! As we enjoy the lovely days of Indian Summer, you've picked the perfect time for an attic upgrade as things cool down in the evening and your furnace is getting prepared to get back to work. The great news is that you should start to see a return on your investment in the near future as an upgrade to a poorly insulated attic can result in a reduction of as much as 20-30% off your heating bill! Kay, we appreciate your comments about our team and our service and thank you for taking your neighbour's advice! We're confident your home will be cozier for it this winter! Sincerely, Crystal - Customer Care

    Basement Reno

    I had a flooded basement requiring a total gut. I chose insta-Insulation because I needed insulation and vapour barrier to prevent the cool basement walls from sweating. The walltite gave me this quickly and with less labour, which for me it meant economical as well. The basement is now sealed and easy to heat & cool. The Installers were professional, efficient and courteous. I recommend In walltite and Insta-Insulation to anyone considering this option.

    Answer from pro:

    Hello Steve! One of my favourite sayings when confronted with a challenge is "in the middle of difficulty lies opportunity". A flooded basement is definitely no fun but how you dealt with the situation is A-1! Your investment in spray foam will ensure you have a comfortable, DRY, and mold-free basement for years to come. Thank you for your business, your kind words about our incredible install team (if I do say so myself!), and for sharing your experience with our company! Enjoy your new basement retreat! Sincerely, Crystal - Customer Care

    2nd floor reno

    Replaced all ceilings with Form insulation as the ceiling and roof is just 2 X 4 between them. The company worked within our timelines, and finished the job on time. The estimate of the job was the final price.

    Answer from pro:

    Hello Kevin! So happy to hear that things are "looking up" with your ceiling project! Ha! :) Seriously though, it's just a little important to keep things moving when you literally haven't got a roof over your head! Thank you for choosing the Insta team as your insulation contractor of choice to meet the challenge of your timelines and to complete the job with no surprises. That's where we really want to ensure we've got you covered! We sincerely appreciate your significant investment in our services and the trust you placed in our team to perform the work to your complete satisfaction. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with others! Have a great long weekend, Kevin! Sincerely, Crystal - Customer Care
