I highly recommend Retrofoam; it works. If you have an older…read morehome and need to get it insulated, you have two options. 1. Remove the walls and add insulation. 2. Retrofoam We chose retro foam and are very pleased with our decision. Pros: Our home gets warm faster. Our home remains warm longer. Rooms that were once colder than others are the same temperature as the rest of the house. Wind drafts through the house eliminated. Wind drafts around windows eliminated. Outside noise, reduced significantly, I mean reduced by a lot. We can now sleep with no white noise. Amazing. Overall improvement on the quality of living, physically and audibly. Cons: The inside install is messy. (These guys try hard to minimize the mess) Outside install was much less hassle and messy. (The installers do a great job cleaning up their work area.) How It Works Retrofoam is mixed from powder and water. It has a similar consistency to shaving foam from a can. It is pumped into a void or cavity inside your wall, making its way around wires, plumbing, and other obstacles in the wall. It hardens and maintains its form and placement--the tiny air bubbles in the foam help create the insulating properties. It has a low odor when installed and is non-existent after a few days. Our Story Our house was built in the 1950s with no insulation. Our brick home was constructed with hollow walls and void cavities around all of the windows. Twice windows have been replaced, once to replace the original single-pane windows and the second time to replace some storm damaged windows. Each time the windows were replaced, no insulation was installed around the window frames, allowing wind to get into the home. Combining that with the hollow walls added years of expensive utility bills and uncomfortable living space. The house temperature was so unevenly controlled, we needed to wear jackets in one area and t-shirts in the next room. We are now remodeling our home. We need a way to insulate without removing all of the inside walls. After doing research, I found Retrofoam as an option. After meeting with Mr. Eddie Sanford, I quickly decided to install the Retrofoam in my house. Eddie made the process easy to understand and helped us devise a plan to prepare for the installation. Eddie's comprehensive strategy was quickly put into motion, and the process began. Our Retrofoam project included all of the exterior walls of the upstairs living space. Mostly brick with hollow walls and old school plaster walls inside. One smaller area, 10' x 6', was constructed of block and was filled with Retrofoam upstairs and downstairs. About 1/2 of the house was accessed from the inside and the other from the outside. The outdoor installation was much more manageable and cleaner for me as the homeowner. However, not all sections of the house could be accessed from the outside. When the installation crew arrived, Robert, George, and Brandon walked through my home. Robert discussed the approach and how the installation would proceed. Before beginning, they covered most everything with plastic and began drilling holes for the installation. The holes drilled into the inside walls are 2.5 inches allowing the large diameter hose to easily access the cavity. Holes from the outside are about the size of a dime. In our case, the outside holes were made through the mortar joints. The foam is pumped into the outer holes using a brass fitting and higher pressure to fill the cavities. After completion, the outside holes were plugged using mortar and drywall compound for the interior. After the foam was mixed, they brought in the hose and installation apparatus. The hose was inserted into a 2.5" hole in the inside wall. The foam was sprayed into each cavity between the studs. Working the foam into the wall cavity from the bottom up and then from the top down. During the installation, the foam can be heard filling the hole. The installation took roughly three days. The installation crew was courteous, careful, extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy, humorous at times, and professional. Even with the typical mess that comes with construction projects, I truly enjoyed the crew's company. I found their work ethic to be top-notch. Upon completing the job, the crew chief Robert did a thorough inspection and cleanup then asked if I was satisfied. After the install, we noticed an immediate reduction in the outside road noise from passing traffic. So much reduction that we no longer use a fan for white noise in our bedroom at night. We also noticed that our house would hold heat much longer. The first night we set the heat to 62 before bed. The room temp was around 68 degrees; by morning, the temp was still 64, and the heat had not kicked on all night long. This is so uncommon; typically, the heat kicks on several times through the night. The two other areas we noticed immediately were the upstairs laundry room and downstairs bathroom.

Eddie, the owner, went over the different insulation options and explained the benefits of each one. Eddie and Kevin must both have the patience of a saint because I asked a million questions, and they spent many hours answering them. In the end, it was their knowledge and expertise that helped me make the decision to go with them. The installation crew--Austin, George, and Joseph--did a great job. They kept me in the loop about what they were doing and why, which I really appreciated. After they finished, they gave me a rundown of the job and explained and showed me everything they did, and answered any questions I had. These guys are very knowledgeable and know what they're doing. I've noticed a big difference in my home's comfort level; I don't have to run my HVAC as much now. Overall, I'm very happy with the results and the professionalism and expertise from everyone at Retrofoam. Big thanks to Retrofoam for doing such a great job!

Wish I could give them 10 Stars!  These folks were awesome on all accounts…read more First off, I'm a normal homeowner and I did NOT receive any payment for my review nor am I fake reviewer.   I am the type of person that still expects to have a job done right....the first time and to have contractors/trades treat me fairly.... I am also a person that rarely writes reviews.  I usually only write reviews if a company is really bad or really good. Nowadays, so few trades, contractors, stores, resturants operate as they are supposed to, which is that without their customer, they don't have a business and that their customers are people too, not just an open wallet. Background: Our home is roughly 25 years old and we just recently purchased it.  When the home was built, it was barely to code for the level of insulation that was installed at that time. So the house really needed some energy updates!  It was barely an R15 in some areas and nowhere near the current standard of R38. What I liked a: 1. Communication - They called to confirm date of service a few days before the start date.  They also called the day of to let me know their ETA (which was on time!).  Try to find a company that does that now a days! 2. A Fair Price and Value - Again, they don't treat you like you are an open wallet.  They gave us a more than fair price and then spent the time to complete the project and ensured that everything was taken care of so that there were no issues at the end of our project. 3. Honesty - They didn't make any unrealistic claims about how we were going to suddenly have our heating/AC bills cut in half. They were upfront and transparent in what to expect.  1. That our comfort level will be vastly improved. Rooms will stay either warm or cold as they should and without the need to run our HVAC or Furnace as much. 2. As mentioned, before, since our units will not have to run as much, the $ savings will follow.   4.  Transparency - They didn't try to oversell us on insulation.  Some company's that we spoke with tried to over sell us for what our house didn't need.  The Insulation Unlimited staff - explained what the codes currently were and how each R value would affect both the functioning/comfort of our home as well as our wallet.  They did not try to sell us on trying to bring the R value of our home up to R50 or beyond.  For this region R38 is the go to amount of insulation that is needed.  Going above R38 is really uncalled for and will not make your house energy  savings any better. So unless you just want to spend  $2000 in order to save $1 a month... follow the standard energy codes of R38 for this part of Tennesses and check back to that guide for updates.   I really liked that their staff took the time to explain this too us as well as showing us the science of it.  They weren't trying to oversell us above and beyond for what our home needed. 5. Project Time - Their teams of folks that come in were FAST.  We thought the install was going to take 2 days, they were in and out in a day. Which was a great turn around for a house of this size. Our house has a crazy and complicated attic system. Their guys were able to get into cavity's of the attic that I would be scared to attempt. Very amazed.  They got into all the small holes and crevices in order to get insulation into sections of the home that didn't even have it was it was built! Summary: I am really happy with the install and working with this company. In my field of work, I work with a lot of trades/contractors and I understand the power of reviews in today's tech savvy world.  It is rare that I write such long reviews of a company unless it was either really bad ie traumatizing or really good - above my expectations.  The folks at Insulation Unlimited have earned my high praise. They handled everything professionally, quickly, and took care of any problems quickly and without any drama.  If you are on the fence about whether or not you want to use these folks, feel free to message me and I am happy to share my good experience with them. Thank you for reading my review!
