If you’re looking to save money on your monthly utilities then having insulation installed is a great idea. You could hire a general contractor to do so, but that’s not likely to yield the best results. If you need a company to handle your insulation installation, why not hire a professional who handles this exclusively? Read on to find out more reasons that working with an insulation contractor like Progressive Insulation & Windows is your better option, then call us at (800) 500-6200 if you have questions.

General contractors are not experts in insulation

General contractors are known for understanding the basics of a lot of things. They’re good if you want a lot of different home improvement or repair things done at once, and none of those things require a specialist. However, the issue is that they aren’t necessarily well versed in the specific skills required to install insulation.

Insulation contractors understand the most important techniques

When you work with a company that regularly works installing insulation, you’re dealing with a company that has accredited and certified professional energy contractors. They have a commitment to operating in a world in which insulation is always installed correctly. They know everything they need to know about proper ventilation, vapor retardants, air filtration, and other issues that relate to installing insulation. This knowledge is critical if you want the best possible results from your insulation.

Removing older insulation could help prevent certain health problems

One of the issues that comes up when old insulation is replaced with new insulation is that older materials can actually be dangerous to your health. If you work with an installer who doesn’t have the qualifications or knowledge to handle these potentially toxic materials, like asbestos, then it could cause health issues for everyone – including those who live in the home. On the other hand, insulation contractors are very familiar with various older materials and their level of danger – as well as the safest way to dispose of them.

In addition to know about the types of insulation we will be removing, we also understand the options for installation. Unless you’re an insulation expert yourself, you’re likely counting on an insulation company to offer you advice on what will work best for your home. It’s likely that a general contractor is familiar with one or two types of insulation. At Progressive Insulation & Windows, we understand all the options and their pros and cons.
