Insulation in Orland Park, IL
Crawl space encapsulation and vapor barrier work in Orland Park runs $3,500-$8,500 for a typical 1,000-1,500 sq ft basement footprint, depending on whether we’re sealing the full space or just laying a barrier over the dirt. Homes here were largely built in the 1980s and 90s as brick-veneer colonials and raised ranches, and most have full basements with uninsulated rim joists that leak conditioned air all winter.

Why Orland Park Homes Are Different
Orland Park’s residential boom from the late 1970s through the 1990s produced thousands of brick-veneer colonials and raised ranches across planned subdivisions, nearly all built to insulation standards that now fall far short of Illinois’s current R-49 attic requirement. Most have R-19 attics and R-11 walls if they have any cavity insulation at all, and the original fiberglass batts have settled and compressed over 30-40 years. That means attic top-ups and air sealing are a near-universal need across the village, not an exception.
The brick-veneer construction changes wall work significantly. Drilling through or behind brick facade is a different scope and cost than working on vinyl- or wood-sided stock in neighboring towns. Add in the original recessed can lights punched through attic floors without any air sealing, and you get thermal bypasses that send heated air straight into the attic in January. Orland Park sits in IECC Climate Zone 5A, with full Chicago-area winters and hot, humid summers. The flat, former-prairie terrain offers no natural windbreak, so north- and west-facing walls on under-insulated homes lose heat faster than most homeowners realize. Contractors working the 1980s and 90s subdivisions almost universally find completely uninsulated band and rim joists in the full basements, a standard oversight of that construction era that causes cold first floors, elevated energy bills, and pipe-freeze risk along exterior walls.
Our Main Orland Park Services
Two jobs dominate our work across Orland Park: attic insulation top-ups to bring under-insulated 80s and 90s homes up to current code, and crawl space encapsulation for the many full-basement homes with damp, humid utility areas. Here’s what each involves here.
Attic Insulation in Orland Park
Most Orland Park attics we inspect are sitting at R-19 to R-30 when Illinois code expects R-49. That gap is why second-floor rooms overheat in July and freeze in February. We blow in GreenFiber cellulose or Owens Corning fiberglass to bring the attic up to spec, and we air seal the can lights and top plates while we’re up there. For full details on what the job involves and what it costs here, see Attic Insulation in Orland Park.

Crawl Space Encapsulation & Vapor Barrier in Orland Park
Crawl space encapsulation in Orland Park starts around $3,500 for a basic vapor barrier install and runs up to $8,500 for a full seal with rigid foam on the walls and a dehumidifier. Homes built in the 1980s and 90s across the village almost always have full basements rather than true crawl spaces, but the same rim joist problems and moisture migration issues apply. Our Crawl Space Encapsulation & Vapor Barrier work focuses on shutting down the air and moisture path from the dirt floor into the living space above.
In Orland Park, the flat prairie terrain and heavy clay soils mean spring thaws push moisture up through basement slabs and crawl space floors for weeks. If the first floor feels damp in April or the basement smells musty after rain, the crawl space or basement perimeter is usually the source.
Crawl Space Vapor Barrier
Signs you need it
A musty smell that gets worse after rain, damp insulation hanging from the floor joists, or visible condensation on ducts and pipes in the basement or crawl space.
What it costs in Orland Park
A 12-mil vapor barrier over a typical 1,000 sq ft area runs $3,500-$5,500, including taping, perimeter sealing, and pier wrapping.
How we do it
We clear the floor, lay the barrier, and seal every seam and penetration with tape and mastic. Piers and supports get wrapped so no ground moisture bypasses the barrier.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
Signs you need it
Cold floors above the crawl space, high indoor humidity in summer, frost on rim joists in winter, or pipes that have frozen along exterior walls.
What it costs in Orland Park
Full encapsulation with wall insulation, rim joist sealing, and a dehumidifier typically lands between $6,000 and $8,500 depending on square footage and access.
How we do it
We install vapor barrier on the floor, rigid foam or spray foam on the walls, seal the rim joists, and add mechanical dehumidification if the space needs it. The goal is a clean, dry, conditioned zone rather than a dirt-floored afterthought.
What Crawl Space Encapsulation & Vapor Barrier Costs in Orland Park
| Item | Typical range in Orland Park |
|---|---|
| Vapor barrier only (12-mil), 1,000 sq ft | $3,500-$5,500 |
| Full encapsulation with wall insulation | $6,000-$8,500 |
| Rim joist sealing (per linear foot) | $8-$14 |
| Dehumidifier installation | $850-$1,500 |
Does encapsulation actually stop the musty smell in an Orland Park basement?
Yes, when the barrier covers the full dirt or slab area and the rim joists are sealed. Moisture is what feeds the smell, and cutting off the moisture path stops it at the source rather than masking it.
How long does a crawl space encapsulation job take?
Most Orland Park jobs take one to two days. Larger spaces with wall insulation and dehumidifier installs can run into a third day. Call (866) 751-4428 for an exact quote, estimates are free.
Spray Foam Insulation in Orland Park
Spray foam insulation in Orland Park costs $1.50-$4.50 per board foot for open-cell and $2.50-$7.00 for closed-cell, with rim joist sealing jobs typically running $1,200-$2,800 for a full basement perimeter. The 1980s and 90s colonials and raised ranches here are prime candidates for Spray Foam Insulation because the rim joists were never insulated and the can lights leak air straight into the attic.
We spray Demilec open-cell foam in attics and rim joists where air sealing matters more than R-value per inch, and closed-cell where moisture resistance or structural strength is the priority. Orland Park’s cold winters and humid summers reward the air-sealing properties of foam more than any other single material.
Open-Cell Spray Foam
Signs you need it
Rooms that never hold temperature, ice dams forming along roof edges, or airflow you can feel around attic hatches and can lights.
What it costs in Orland Park
Open-cell foam runs $1.50-$4.50 per board foot, and a typical 1,500 sq ft attic roof deck lands between $2,500 and $5,000 depending on depth.
How we do it
We prep the area, spray the foam to the specified depth, and trim any excess. The foam expands to fill every gap, which is what makes it such an effective air barrier.
Rim Joist Spray Foam
Signs you need it
Cold first floors in winter, pipes along exterior walls that have frozen, or mouse activity in the basement perimeter where gaps let them in.
What it costs in Orland Park
Sealing the full rim joist perimeter of a typical Orland Park basement costs $1,200-$2,800, materials and labor included.
How we do it
We spray closed-cell foam into each rim joist bay, covering the band joist and the subfloor edge. It seals the air gap, adds R-value, and blocks rodent entry points in one pass.
What Spray Foam Insulation Costs in Orland Park
| Item | Typical range in Orland Park |
|---|---|
| Open-cell spray foam (per board foot) | $1.50-$4.50 |
| Closed-cell spray foam (per board foot) | $2.50-$7.00 |
| Rim joist sealing, full perimeter | $1,200-$2,800 |
| Attic roof deck, 1,500 sq ft | $2,500-$5,000 |
Is spray foam worth it in Orland Park’s climate?
For rim joists and attics, yes. The air-sealing benefit alone typically recovers cost within five to seven years given how hard Zone 5A winters hit homes here. Closed-cell foam also adds moisture resistance that fiberglass cannot match.
Can you spray foam over existing fiberglass batts?
Not effectively. The old material has to come out first so the foam can bond directly to the substrate. We remove and dispose of the old insulation as part of the job. Call (866) 751-4428 for a free estimate.
Blown-In Insulation in Orland Park
Blown-in insulation in Orland Park runs $1,800-$3,400 for a typical attic top-up to R-49, and $1.50-$3.00 per sq ft for dense-pack wall work. Nearly every 1980s and 90s home in the village is under-insulated by today’s standard, and Blown-In Insulation is the fastest, least disruptive way to close the gap.
We use GreenFiber cellulose for most attic work because it settles less and performs better in cold weather than loose fiberglass. In Orland Park’s full Chicago winters, the difference shows up in the heating bill and in how even the temperature stays across the second floor.
Blown-In Cellulose
Signs you need it
Attic insulation that sits below the top of the ceiling joists, rooms that swing hot and cold, or energy bills that spike every January.
What it costs in Orland Park
Blowing GreenFiber cellulose to R-49 across a 1,000 sq ft attic typically costs $1,800-$2,800, including air sealing the can lights and penetrations.
How we do it
We run a hose to the attic, blow the cellulose to the target depth, and level it across the floor. Air sealing happens first so the new insulation actually does its job.
Dense-Pack Wall Insulation
Signs you need it
Walls that feel cold to the touch in winter, rooms above garages that never warm up, or drafts you can feel near baseboards on windy days.
What it costs in Orland Park
Dense-pack wall work runs $1.50-$3.00 per sq ft of wall area, with most whole-house jobs in Orland Park landing between $3,000 and $6,000.
How we do it
For brick-veneer homes we drill through the mortar joints or interior drywall, blow cellulose into the cavities at high pressure, and patch the holes to match. The result is a filled, draft-free wall cavity.
What Blown-In Insulation Costs in Orland Park
| Item | Typical range in Orland Park |
|---|---|
| Attic top-up to R-49, 1,000 sq ft | $1,800-$2,800 |
| Full attic replacement, 1,500 sq ft | $2,500-$3,400 |
| Dense-pack wall insulation (per sq ft) | $1.50-$3.00 |
| Blown-in fiberglass attic, 1,000 sq ft | $1,600-$2,400 |
How much insulation does an Orland Park attic actually need?
Illinois code calls for R-49, which is roughly 15-18 inches of blown cellulose depending on settling. Most 80s and 90s homes in the village are sitting at R-19 to R-30, so the top-up is substantial.
Does blown-in cellulose settle over time?
Yes, about 10% over the first few years, which is why we blow to a settled depth, not an initial depth. That extra material accounts for the settling so you’re not under-insulated in five years. Call (866) 751-4428 to schedule an attic check.
Radiant Barrier Installation in Orland Park
Radiant barrier installation in Orland Park runs $2.00-$3.50 per sq ft installed, with most attic roof deck jobs landing between $1,800 and $3,200 for a typical two-story colonial. The hot, humid summers on Orland Park’s flat prairie terrain make attic heat gain a real problem, and Radiant Barrier Installation cuts it at the source.
A radiant barrier reflects heat away from the living space rather than absorbing it. In a brick-veneer colonial with a dark roof and an uninsulated attic floor, that can drop attic temperatures by 20 to 30 degrees in July.
Attic Radiant Barrier
Signs you need it
Second-floor rooms that overheat in summer, an air conditioner that runs constantly, or an attic you cannot stand to be in past 10 a.m.
What it costs in Orland Park
Installing radiant barrier across a typical 1,000-1,500 sq ft attic floor costs $1,400-$2,400, labor included.
How we do it
We roll the foil across the attic floor, securing it to the joists so it stays put. Air still moves through the soffit and ridge vents, but radiant heat gets reflected back toward the roof deck.
Radiant Barrier Roof Deck
Signs you need it
An attic that stores heat all afternoon and radiates it down into the bedrooms after sunset, or cooling bills that stay high even with a newer AC unit.
What it costs in Orland Park
Roof deck installation runs $2.00-$3.50 per sq ft, with most Orland Park homes landing between $1,800 and $3,200 depending on roof geometry.
How we do it
We staple the foil to the underside of the roof rafters before the insulation goes in. It works with the ventilation system to keep radiant heat from ever reaching the attic floor.
What Radiant Barrier Installation Costs in Orland Park
| Item | Typical range in Orland Park |
|---|---|
| Attic floor radiant barrier | $1,400-$2,400 |
| Roof deck radiant barrier (per sq ft) | $2.00-$3.50 |
| Full attic radiant barrier, 1,500 sq ft | $1,800-$3,200 |
| Combined radiant barrier & attic top-up | $3,000-$5,500 |
Does radiant barrier help in an Orland Park winter too?
A modest amount. It reflects some interior heat back down into the living space, but the bigger winter benefit comes from air sealing and insulation. The summer payoff is where radiant barrier earns its keep in this climate.
Can radiant barrier go in over existing insulation?
Yes, on the attic floor we lay it right over the existing insulation. For roof deck work, it goes against the rafters and works alongside the insulation rather than replacing it. Call (866) 751-4428 for a free attic assessment.
Insulation Removal & Replacement in Orland Park
Insulation removal and replacement in Orland Park runs $2.00-$4.00 per sq ft for full removal, plus the cost of the new material installed. Homes built in the 1980s and 90s here often have original fiberglass batts that have compressed, absorbed moisture, or been contaminated by rodents, and Insulation Removal & Replacement is the only way to reset the system.
In Orland Park’s brick-veneer stock, attic ventilation was often marginal from the start, which compounds the damage from any roof leak or bathroom fan vented into the attic. Once the insulation is wet or packed down, it stops working.
Attic Insulation Removal
Signs you need it
Insulation that sits below the top of the joists, visible moisture staining on the batts, or dusty air coming from the attic hatch every time you open it.
What it costs in Orland Park
Full attic removal typically runs $2.00-$3.00 per sq ft, so a 1,000 sq ft attic lands between $2,000 and $3,000 before new insulation goes in.
How we do it
We use a commercial vacuum system to pull the old material out through a hose, then we clean the attic floor and prep for the new insulation. The whole removal usually takes one day.
Contaminated Insulation Removal
Signs you need it
Evidence of rodents or raccoons in the attic, insulation matted with droppings or urine, or a persistent odor that comes through the ceiling.
What it costs in Orland Park
Contaminated removal with sanitizing and decontamination runs $3.00-$4.00 per sq ft, so a typical job lands between $3,000 and $4,500.
How we do it
We remove all contaminated material, sanitize the attic surfaces, and prepare the space for fresh insulation. Protective gear and containment are standard on these jobs in Orland Park.
What Insulation Removal & Replacement Costs in Orland Park
| Item | Typical range in Orland Park |
|---|---|
| Attic removal (per sq ft) | $2.00-$3.00 |
| Contaminated removal (per sq ft) | $3.00-$4.00 |
| Wall cavity removal and refill (per sq ft) | $2.50-$4.00 |
| Full attic removal and replacement, 1,500 sq ft | $3,500-$5,500 |
How do we know if the old insulation in an Orland Park attic is bad?
Visual inspection tells us most of the story: compression, moisture staining, rodent activity, or material that has turned dark and crumbly. A thermal scan of the ceiling can confirm uneven coverage without us having to guess.
Is it cheaper to just blow new insulation over the old?
Sometimes, if the old material is dry and uncontaminated. If it’s wet, packed down, or full of rodent droppings, covering it locks the problem in. Call (866) 751-4428 and we’ll inspect before recommending anything.
Attic Air Sealing in Orland Park
Attic air sealing in Orland Park runs $800-$1,800 for a typical two-story colonial, depending on how many can lights, top plates, and penetrations need sealing. The original recessed can lights punched through the attic floor in 80s and 90s homes here create thermal bypasses that no amount of insulation can fix, and Attic Air Sealing is the first step before any top-up.
In Orland Park’s flat, windswept terrain, air leaks around top plates and penetrations pull heated air out of the living space all winter. Sealing them first gives the new insulation a chance to do its job.
Can Light & Duct Boot Sealing
Signs you need it
Recessed lights that feel warm or drafty, dust streaks on the ceiling around fixtures, or a second floor that never holds temperature.
What it costs in Orland Park
Sealing a full set of can lights and duct boots in a typical Orland Park attic costs $400-$900, depending on how many fixtures there are.
How we do it
We seal around each fixture with foam or a sealed cover box rated for the light type, then seal the duct boots where they meet the ceiling drywall. It stops the air path without creating a fire hazard.
Top Plate & Penetration Sealing
Signs you need it
Drafts you can feel in the attic, frost on the roof sheathing in winter, or visible gaps where wiring and plumbing pass through the attic floor.
What it costs in Orland Park
Sealing all top plates and penetrations in a 1,500 sq ft attic typically runs $500-$1,200.
How we do it
We use foam and caulk to seal every gap where the wall meets the attic, and around every wire, pipe, and vent that punches through the floor. It’s tedious work, but it’s where the real heat loss happens.
What Attic Air Sealing Costs in Orland Park
| Item | Typical range in Orland Park |
|---|---|
| Full attic air sealing, 1,500 sq ft | $800-$1,800 |
| Can light sealing (per fixture) | $25-$50 |
| Top plate sealing (per linear foot) | $2.50-$5.00 |
| Attic hatch sealing and weatherstripping | $150-$350 |
Does air sealing really make that much difference in Orland Park?
Yes. Air leaks can account for a third or more of total heat loss in a typical 80s or 90s home here. Sealing them before adding insulation is the single highest-impact upgrade most Orland Park homeowners can make.
Can air sealing be done in winter?
Yes. Most of the work happens from the attic side, and foam and caulk cure fine in cold weather. We work on Orland Park attics year-round. Call (866) 751-4428 to schedule an assessment.
Wall Insulation in Orland Park
Wall insulation in Orland Park costs $1.50-$5.00 per sq ft depending on whether we’re drilling and filling existing cavities, injecting foam, or insulating from the exterior. The brick-veneer construction that dominates Orland Park’s 80s and 90s subdivisions makes wall work different here than in towns with vinyl or wood siding, and Wall Insulation is the service for it.
In a brick-veneer colonial, drilling through or behind the brick facade is the standard approach for cavity fill, and the scope and cost reflect that. Homes with full brick fronts need interior drilling through drywall instead, which is cleaner but more disruptive inside.
Injection Foam Wall Insulation
Signs you need it
Walls that feel cold to the touch in winter, rooms that never warm up, or drafts near baseboards and outlets along exterior walls.
What it costs in Orland Park
Injection foam runs $3.00-$5.00 per sq ft of wall area, with most whole-house jobs landing between $4,000 and $8,000.
How we do it
We inject Demilec or other injection-grade foam through small holes drilled in the mortar joints or drywall. The foam expands to fill the cavity, then we patch and seal every hole.
Drill & Fill Wall Insulation
Signs you need it
Empty or partially filled wall cavities, which we confirm with a thermal scan or by removing an outlet cover to inspect around the box.
What it costs in Orland Park
Drill and fill with dense-pack cellulose runs $1.50-$3.00 per sq ft, typically $3,000-$6,000 for a full Orland Park home.
How we do it
For brick-veneer walls we drill through mortar joints; for interior access we drill through drywall. We blow cellulose in at pressure, then patch the holes to match the surrounding surface.
What Wall Insulation Costs in Orland Park
| Item | Typical range in Orland Park |
|---|---|
| Drill & fill dense-pack (per sq ft) | $1.50-$3.00 |
| Injection foam (per sq ft) | $3.00-$5.00 |
| Exterior rigid foam (per sq ft) | $3.50-$6.00 |
| Whole-house wall insulation | $4,000-$8,000 |
Can wall insulation be added without removing the brick in Orland Park?
Yes. We drill through the mortar joints or go through the interior drywall, fill the cavity, and patch. The brick stays intact. It’s the standard method for the brick-veneer stock that dominates the village.
How do we know if the walls are already insulated?
A thermal imaging scan shows us where heat is escaping and whether the cavities are full or empty. It’s quick, non-invasive, and part of the assessment. Call (866) 751-4428 to schedule one.
Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing in Orland Park
Attic cleaning and rodent proofing in Orland Park runs $1,500-$4,000 depending on the size of the attic and the extent of the contamination. The 80s and 90s colonials and raised ranches across the village have complex rooflines with plenty of entry points for mice, squirrels, and raccoons, and Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing addresses both the mess and the root cause.
Once rodents get into an Orland Park attic, they nest in the insulation, chew wiring, and leave droppings that make the whole space a health hazard. The fix requires more than traps: the entry points have to be sealed or the next family of squirrels moves right in.
Attic Cleanout
Signs you need it
Scratching sounds in the ceiling, droppings visible in the insulation, or a persistent odor coming through the ceiling in warm weather.
What it costs in Orland Park
A full attic cleanout runs $1,500-$2,500 for a typical 1,000-1,500 sq ft attic, including removal of all contaminated insulation and debris.
How we do it
We vacuum out the old insulation, bag and remove the debris, and sanitize the attic surfaces. It leaves the space ready for new insulation and clean enough to store things in again.
Rodent Proofing & Exclusion
Signs you need it
Chewed wiring, gnaw marks around vents and soffits, or daylight visible through gaps at the roofline.
What it costs in Orland Park
Sealing the entry points and installing exclusion material typically runs $500-$1,500 depending on how many gaps need closing.
How we do it
We seal every gap at the roofline, around vents, and at pipe penetrations with steel mesh and foam. Then we check the soffits and fascia for damage and repair what needs repairing.
What Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing Costs in Orland Park
| Item | Typical range in Orland Park |
|---|---|
| Attic cleanout, 1,000-1,500 sq ft | $1,500-$2,500 |
| Sanitizing & decontamination | $500-$1,000 |
| Rodent proofing & exclusion | $500-$1,500 |
| Full restoration with new insulation | $3,000-$4,000 |
Does rodent proofing work for the whole winter in Orland Park?
Yes, when every entry point is sealed properly. Mice only need a quarter-inch gap, which is why we inspect the entire roofline rather than just setting traps. The proofing is designed to hold through the cold season.
Can we replace the insulation after the cleanout?
Yes. We typically blow in fresh GreenFiber or Owens Corning insulation once the attic is clean and sealed. It’s the most cost-effective way to reset the entire space. Call (866) 751-4428 for a free attic inspection.
Home Energy Audit in Orland Park
A home energy audit in Orland Park runs $350-$700 for a full blower door test, thermal imaging inspection, and written report with recommendations. Homes built in the 1980s and 90s here have predictable weak points: under-insulated attics, unsealed can lights, uninsulated rim joists, and wall cavities that may or may not be filled, and a Home Energy Audit pinpoints exactly where the money is leaking.
In Orland Park’s Zone 5A climate, an energy audit pays for itself by identifying the one or two fixes that matter most. Most homeowners discover there’s a single large problem driving most of their bills, not ten small ones.
Blower Door Test
Signs you need it
Drafts you can feel, uneven temperatures between rooms, or energy bills that seem high for the square footage.
What it costs in Orland Park
A standalone blower door test runs $250-$400, and it’s included in our full home energy audit package.
How we do it
We mount a calibrated fan in an exterior door, depressurize the house, and measure how much air leaks in. The result tells us exactly how leaky the building envelope is.
Thermal Imaging Inspection
Signs you need it
Cold spots on walls or ceilings, ice forming on the roof in winter, or rooms that never match the thermostat setting.
What it costs in Orland Park
Thermal imaging is $200-$350 when booked as a standalone, and it’s part of the full audit package.
How we do it
We scan the walls, ceilings, and rim joists with an infrared camera to find exactly where heat is escaping. The images show missing insulation, air gaps, and thermal bridges that are invisible to the naked eye.
What Home Energy Audit Costs in Orland Park
| Item | Typical range in Orland Park |
|---|---|
| Full home energy audit | $350-$700 |
| Blower door test only | $250-$400 |
| Thermal imaging only | $200-$350 |
| Duct leakage test | $150-$300 |
Is a home energy audit worth it before selling an Orland Park house?
It can be. The report gives you a concrete list of fixes that address buyer concerns about heating and cooling costs. Some sellers use it to justify their asking price, and some buyers ask for credits based on it.
How long does the audit take?
Two to three hours for a typical Orland Park colonial or raised ranch. You get the written report within a few days. Call (866) 751-4428 to book one, and ask about the free second opinion offer.

We inspect your home and provide the price in writing before work begins.
FAQs About Insulation in Orland Park, IL
How quickly can you schedule insulation work in Orland Park?
We typically schedule estimates within a few days, and most attic top-up or air sealing jobs are completed in a single day. Brick veneer homes needing wall work in addition to the attic may take a bit longer to plan around access.
Do I need a permit for insulation work?
Most insulation work, including attic top-ups, air sealing, and rim joist foam, does not require a separate permit. Most homes here were built with R-19 attics or less, well under Illinois’s current R-49 requirement, and original recessed can lights often leak air straight into the attic.
How does your written estimate work?
We inspect the attic, crawl space, or walls in person and provide a written estimate with the full scope and price before any work begins. That price stays fixed unless you request additional work once we’re on site.
Do you serve areas near Orland Park?
Yes, we also cover the surrounding communities around Orland Park, so homes just outside the city line can typically get the same estimate, scheduling, and installation process we use for jobs inside the city, without any difference in how we price or schedule the work.
What happens to my old insulation?
We remove and dispose of old, compressed, or contaminated insulation before installing anything new, whether that’s degraded batts, damaged blown-in material, or vermiculite that needs special handling. Removal is priced separately from new insulation so there are no surprises once we start.

What Orland Park Customers Say
"Air sealing first, then blown-in over the top. He found a bathroom fan venting straight into the attic and fixed that too. Written price before they started, same price when they finished."
- Arjun Mehta"Spray foam in the garage ceiling under the bonus room. That room used to be unusable in summer. Walt talked me out of foaming the whole attic because it did not need it - saved me a couple thousand and I trust him more for it."
- Bud Larkin"Crawl space was wet every spring. They laid the heavy liner, sealed the vents, and put a dehumidifier down there. Floors are warm and the moisture meter he left reads fine now. He still answers when I text him a reading."
- Devon Pierce
