I hired Insulate SB, Inc. to remove our old attic insulation and install new R-38 insulation, and…read moreI'm really impressed. The crew protected the house from the front door to the attic hatch, vacuumed out the old dusty/settled insulation, sanitized the attic floor, and sealed obvious air gaps around light fixtures and penetrations. They added proper baffles at the eaves and installed everything up to code-recommended levels. Start to finish, they were on time, professional, and left zero mess. We noticed the difference the first evening--quieter, more even temps, and the HVAC isn't running nonstop. Pricing was transparent, the proposal was detailed, and communication was great throughout. If you're debating whether an attic cleanout and re-insulation is worth it, this was one of the best upgrades we've done to our house. Highly recommend Insulate SB for anyone looking to clean up their attic and improve comfort/energy use!

We recently used Insulate SB during our remodel and we could not be happier with the experience…read more From the start, they worked within our budget and helped problem-solve a few tricky areas we encountered during construction. The entire team was flexible with scheduling, which made coordinating with other trades so much easier. Their installers were clean, professional, and genuinely friendly -- which is a big plus when you have people working inside your home. I personally met with two other insulation subcontractors on our project, and Insulate SB's proposal and responsiveness stood out as top-notch. We felt very comfortable moving forward with them, and they delivered exactly what they promised. Highly recommend Insulate SB to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and customer-focused insulation contractor in Santa Barbara!

I had TruTeam blow in extra insulation in a 40-year-old two story condo. Craig called me back the…read moresame day and was able to come by the following for an inspection estimate. That estimate was emailed to me later that afternoon! I scheduled an appointment and the crew showed up on time, were personable and friendly, and very respectful of our place, laying plastic and keeping the insulation only where it was supposed to go: the attic! The job was done faster than it took to set up! Previous to the insulation install, our upstairs rooms were always 8-15 degrees hotter when the sun was shining. Now, upstairs and downstairs are about the same temperature, maybe a 2-3 degree change on a sunny day. We're so happy with the results! We'll be comfortable upstairs during the summertime for the first time since we moved in!

TruTeam was recommended to me for blow-in insulation for my rental house in SLO and I wish I had…read moredone more research. The initial response was prompt so I was hopeful. The property was empty so I asked them to let me know when it was complete and to send photos of the work. They failed to do either. I paid all but 1.5%, because I wanted proof of completion. After 6 months (!) someone texted a grainy photo of somebody's attic from which I am supposed to accept that it is mine and then insisted on full final payment. They failed to provide notice that they were coming to take a picture which is highly unprofessional for a rental property in particular. I do NOT recommend using this company.

Rayce and team were very responsive and great at setting expectations. The quote I received was…read morevery fair and their timeline was accommodating, even though it was the middle of summer. This is hard work! If working in a 130+ degree attic handling odd materials was easy, you wouldn't be reading this review to hire someone to perform the task for you. I went with open cell foam since it is a lot cheaper and was honestly the best application for our renovation. Rayce was very helpful explaining the differences and offering his advice. He could have easily painted a grim picture and pressured me into a quote that was double the price but he was trying to get me the best performance for my money. I did quite a bit of research and he was more than happy to answer any questions or concerns I had. His team took about 4 days to complete out 4000sqft home, from ripping out old bats of insulation and vacuuming the old fiberglass blown in, then spraying the new foam. His team was very friendly and professional. The difference is mind blowing. My framers helping me with my project came back to work the next day and could not believe the ambient temperatures dropped by probably 20-25 degrees. Now for the cons associated with this type of work. This stuff is messy. They do a great job of masking and taping but the foam does what it wants. This is not a contractor problem, this is a customer problem. Do your best to plan and anticipate any problems. There's a faint smell that lingers for a few days but let's not act like it's better to breath in old attic dust and mouse urine. Anyone who's worked with HVAC ducting or new insulation knows that fiberglass has a smell as well. If I didn't know this going in, I would probably remove a star just from the minor inconvenience. But this doesn't take away from the company. So set your expectations for this application/material accordingly. As far as contractors, you've come to the place. And lastly, enjoy your new investment. It'll pay off tenfold.

We greatly appreciate the excellent work done by 805 Insulation at our house. Our experience with…read more805's Estimator, Rayce, was all-round terrific. We had an urgent request to have old insulation removed from the attic in time for upcoming roof work and Rayce, sympathetic to our plight, fit us into 805's tight schedule. What really stood out was his kindness and his sincere interest in helping us out with unique circumstances involved with the removal, and clearly discussing ways to do it best and efficiently. The two guys who came out did an excellent job safely removing the fiberglass batts and thoroughly cleaning up afterward. It was a tough and challenging removal and the guys were diligent and professional throughout. We highly recommend the services of 805 Insulation if you want to be heard, to have professional work done, and to have from start to finish very satisfying results.

Our HOA contracted with Robles roofing to apply caulking (mastic) to all roof pipes. We had a…read moreroofing inspector come by to assess our roofs (about 10 months after Robles did thier work) and we were informed that Robles roofing used the wrong material (asphalt) to chaulk our roofs and most of them were cracked. Our roofing inspector told us they should have used high performance caulking, which would have lasted 10 years. Our HOA tried to contact them, and Ricardo was nice and when asked about using a higher quality caulking, it didn't seem like he was going to change the material. He didn't deny there was a problem, but did say there was a problem. Given their poor quality work, we didn't trust them to repair a second time. I would recommend avoiding this company because I don't think they know what they're doing. Had we not had a roof inspector look at our roofs, we would not have noticed any issues until a more costly issue occurred from the cracked chaulking.
