THE START Turning Your Home Green, the insulation specialist, is a family business dedicated to making your living space a more comfortable, eco-friendly environment. My father started a residential renovation company in New Jersey 35 years ago. Over the years, almost every house he entered was inadequately insulated. He evaluated the living space and provided a solution to correct the problem.
"I DO NOT RECOMMEND! He was late to my appointment and very unprofessional upon arrival. He gave me an official estimate and when it was time to perform the work he backed out and told me he could not do it for the price quoted."

Jersey State provides insulations such as: closed/open cell insulation, blown in insulation, sound and firestop insulation. We also retrofit houses for green and comfort energy. Family owned and operated. Business experience 15 years plus
"I can’t say enough nice things about Jersey State Insulation. Sebastian and his crew are absolutely amazing. They work very hard and are very conscientious of your home. When they did the insulation on my home they were very careful when moving things around and cleaning up after the job was done. Sebastian is very friendly and made every effort to explain everything and make sure I was happy with the work being done. I met with other insulation companies, but none seemed nearly as competent as Jersey State. The others wanted to charge me a lot more for something I didnt think I needed. The others though my problem was only the attic. Sebastian inspected the attic and said there was nothing it needed. Other contractors didn’t even want to attempt blow-in insulation, but Sebastian and his crew did it and the result is fantastic"

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.
