Quality Insulation Contractor in Apple Valley MN - Warmer Rooms, Fewer Drafts

Insulation contractor services in Apple Valley, MN

Apple Valley Insulation Company is an insulation contractor in Apple Valley that fixes drafty rooms, a hot upstairs, cold floors and a power bill that won't come down. We handle 16 kinds of insulation work, from attics and walls to crawl spaces and spray foam. The price mostly turns on what's already there, how many inches you have, whether old or damaged material has to come out first, how many gaps need sealing and how easy the space is to reach. Removal and foam add time to the schedule, and so can a permit when your city asks for one. Your own figure comes from the estimate, once I've seen the space.

• 

  Spray foam insulation

  Spray foam goes on wet and swells to fill every gap, so it seals air and insulates in one pass. It earns its cost in attics where the ductwork runs and in odd-shaped spaces loose fill can't reach.

• 

  Attic insulation

  Is the upstairs hot or drafty while the rest of the house is fine? That usually starts in the attic, so we seal the gaps and bring the insulation up to an even depth from the middle out to the edges.

• 

  Blown-in insulation

  Blown-in insulation is loose fill we blow through a hose, so it settles around joists and wiring without leaving gaps. It's the usual way we top up an attic that's gone thin.

• 

  Home insulation

  Not sure where the cold is getting in? We look at the attic, walls, crawl space and basement together and tell you which part to fix first.

• 

  Insulation removal

  When old insulation is soaked, moldy or full of droppings, we take it out and clean up before anything new goes in. Covering it only hides the problem.

• 

  Crawl space insulation

  Cold floors over a crawl space usually mean the space below is open to outside air. We seal it and insulate it so the rooms above stop pulling heat into the dirt.

• 

  Wall insulation

  Plenty of older houses have little or nothing inside the walls. We blow insulation in through small holes and patch them, so nobody has to tear out plaster or drywall.

• 

  Air sealing services

  Air sealing is closing the gaps around lights, pipes, wires and hatches before any insulation goes in. In a drafty house it's often the part that makes the biggest difference.

• 

  Basement insulation

  We insulate basement walls and the framing that sits on top of the foundation, so a finished room downstairs isn't the coldest spot in the house.

• 

  Closed-cell foam insulation

  Closed-cell foam is a dense foam that blocks moisture as well as heat. That makes it our pick for basement walls, foundation framing and other spots that get damp.

• 

  Open-cell foam insulation

  Open-cell foam is softer and lighter than closed-cell, and it fills cavities and stops air for less money. It works well in rooflines and walls that stay dry.

• 

  Commercial insulation

  Property managers and business owners call us for offices, rentals and small commercial buildings. We look at the building first and plan the work around the people using it.

• 

  Crawl space vapor barrier

  A crawl space vapor barrier is a heavy plastic sheet we lay over the dirt and run up the walls. It keeps ground moisture out of the framing and the house above.

• 

  Vapor barrier installation

  Does your wall or basement need a vapor barrier, and on which side? We look at how the space is built and put one in only where it keeps moisture out instead of trapping it.

• 

  Attic air sealing

  Before any new insulation goes in, we seal the attic floor around can lights, pipes, chimneys and the hatch so warm air stops leaking up through the ceiling.

• 

  Retrofit insulation

  Retrofit insulation means adding insulation to a house that's already built and lived in. We work through the attic, the existing walls and the crawl space with as little mess inside as we can manage.

Why homeowners hire us for insulation

1. 01I tell you what can wait

   I look over the attic, walls or crawl space and tell you in plain words what needs doing now and what can wait. You put your money into the fix that matters first.

2. 02Air leaks sealed before insulation

   We close the gaps around lights, pipes and the attic hatch before we add any insulation. The heat you pay for stays in the house instead of slipping into the attic.

3. 03Ask as many questions as you like

   No question is too small, and I'd rather explain something three times than have you agree to work you don't understand. You decide when it makes sense to you, not because someone rushed you.

4. 04Permits and other trades handled straight

   When your city asks for a permit, we check with its building office, handle the paperwork and set up the inspections. If part of the job belongs to another trade, we say so and help you plan around it.
