Radiant Barrier, fiberglass insulation, spray foam insulation, fully encapsulated crawl spaces / sealed crawl spaces, mold remediation with Dry Ice Blasting (chemical-free, abrasion-free, residue-free). Waterproofing and dehumidification. BPI-certified Precise Energy Audits. Angi Super Service Award Winner 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, and 2022. BBB A+ accredited, 5-star reviewed. Insured to $2 million. No payments due until full project completion to your full satisfaction. Local references available. Locally and veteran owned and operated.
"They did my entire crawl space encapsulation. They installed a dehumidifier and just placed it on an uneven ground. I called several times to complain that it was leaking on the ground and they told me to try an level it. I asked why they did not attach it to the ceiling and they said it was not part of the quote. I told them that it was not installed correctly then and they told me they would come out and install it correctly after I paid them a trip charge of 129 and then they would bill me for the install. I told them that it was not put in correctly the first time and they did not seem to care much about that part of the job. I told them that they can come out and install it correctly and I would pay and then I would write a review. After they came out they just laid the pump back on the floor and said that they could put that up at the ceiling so it would not drag on the floor but that would be an extra charge and service call. What about doing things correctly the first time?????? Looks like they just want to nickel and dime you to death."

"Moving to the city of Durham, NC from Los Angeles, CA, knowing nobody in this new city and having a very bad experience with the natural slate tile previously installed in my property in Los Angeles, I was very skeptical and cautious when working with any local installers for my request, again for natural slate tile installation for my new single family home construction in Treyburn Forest community of Durham. Julio, Mario and their tile crew at Santi Hardwood Flooring did the excellent tile job for the first floor with Brazilian Montauk blue 24"x24" natural slate tile and two shower rooms of this new construction. Julio and his Santi Hardwood Flooring teams continue to work on the second floor with Hickory solid hardwood planks. With his teams' great success in the natural slate tile installation, I have no doubt about his teams' skill on any solid hardwood installation which I believe, his teams are the experts. Absolutely, I would highly recommend Julio and his Santi Hardwood Flooring company to my friends and neighbors who would have any flooring requests for great installation service with a very competitive price.

R-value measures how well insulation resists heat flow, which directly affects your home's energy efficiency. The higher the R-value, the better the insulation. By calculating the R-value needed for your specific climate and home design, you can choose the right insulation materials and thickness to keep your home comfortable and reduce heating and cooling costs.
You don't need to remove your old insulation before adding new insulation, as long as it's in good condition. Adding new insulation over existing materials can improve your home's energy efficiency. For example, you can install blown-in insulation around fiberglass batts or place rigid insulation over existing layers to enhance the overall R-value. However, if your current insulation is wet, moldy, or damaged, you should remove it to avoid health risks and maintain optimal performance.
Installing insulation typically takes five to twelve hours for batts or boards, and two to five hours for spray foam or blown-in insulation. The exact time depends on the type of material and your home's layout. If you need to remove old insulation, have a larger home, or hard-to-reach areas, the project may take longer.
The International Association of Certified Home Inspectors has said foam board insulation can last up to 100 years if properly installed. Some insulation materials can suffer from water damage or start to sag over many years, thus reducing their insulating ability. Foam boards shouldn't suffer from sagging but have the potential to get damaged. Any broken pieces of foam board can reduce its insulating effectiveness.
