Quality Insulation had nothing but top ratings here on Yelp when I reached out to them to provide insulation in the attic of my townhouse. Now that they've completed the job at my house, allow me to provide yet another glowing review. Chris and I connected not long after my request for a quote and he came by my house in the next day or so. After spending a little time in the attic, he came down to give a thorough breakdown of what was in the attic and a couple of different paths I could take (e.g. removing all the existing insulation before blowing in the new product; leaving the existing insulation and simply blowing the new stuff over the top of it). He answered every question I asked and had a formal estimate (which included detailed photos of what he saw up in the attic) to me the next day. Chris promised that the team coming to do the install would be top-of-the-line -- and he was right. Dave led the crew, who were very respectful of my house and used floor coverings and booties throughout the installation. They removed all the old insulation and got the new stuff in place in about 3 hours. Dave had me inspect the work before departing and was also happy to answer a couple of follow-up questions I had. I wouldn't hesitate in calling Chris if you're in need of assessing your insulation situation or are ready for a replacement. As many folks on here will attest, you'll get outstanding service from start to finish. read more

They did great job with insulation in attic. Would recommend and they were professional.

Chris arrived to give me a quote on a Tuesday morning. I liked his knowledge and professionalism. I had a completed full attic insulation job completed by noon the very next day!!! Job well done and a great crew! read more

These guys know what they are doing and provide quality work going above and beyond. They were on time, professional, great with communication and scheduling, and took every precaution with install of the insulation. With our house being very old we were worried about which company was going to be able to get into the tight attic that we have and they had zero issue getting into all of our spaces. They did have to cut a hole in the ceiling of one of our rooms, but we knew that going into the job they were very upfront about that. They laid down plastic everywhere that could be affected as well as a mat coming in the front door to not mark the floors. The install of the insulation was so much more quiet then we thought it would be which was awesome. They have been doing this for years and it shows in their value they bring. Would recommend to anyone needing new insulation! read more

The company deserves 1000 stars l. Chris came and gave a well thorough inspection and estimate of my actic. Had my concerns and expectations, I had several other companies come and give quotes for double the price. Especially ORKIN. Orkin tried to use care tactics to sign contract without any explanation. Chris gave the quote and the crew arrived a week later as scheduled. Chris has a great work crew who were professional , caring, and did high quality work. Every step of the way, I was communicated and was filled in. I was shown before , during and after photos. And end results were UNBELIEVABLE Chris is fair and honest, he gives reasonable prices and will not take advantage of his customers. read more

Quality insulation did a great job removing insulation and re-insulating our attic. They were not the least expensive we found but we felt Chris to be more trustworthy and knowledgeable. Mike and his team were on time and worked quickly (and quietly!) We highly recommend their services. read more

Cannot recommend them highly enough! Fair pricing, super clean, great communication, and my house feels immediately 10x's better. We have a split level and got two attic spaces done all in one day. Not only should you book them but buy them lunch while they're working. They deserve it for the quality work and how well they care for your house. read more

I can only say that Quality Insulation delivers as promised. The owner, Chris met with me and gave me a couple of options to insulate our garage ceiling. The bedrooms above the garage get very cold in the winter and Chris suggested a poke-and-fill method whereby fiberglass insulation is pumped between the joists. It requires poking holes in the drywall/ceiling and pushing a hose to spray the fiberglass. Another option would have been to tear out the ceiling entirely and use spray foam with batting. But Chris told me that although the cost of this was double the first option, the insulation would only be about 25% improved from the first option. Everyone appreciates honesty. The crew (led by Dave) came by and were very diligent about cleanup and parking their vehicle and trailer on the street. They took care to do the job right and were done inside of 5 hours. I would recommend Quality Insulation and if I have any additional jobs, I won't hesitate to call them. read more

I wanted to leave a review for Quality Insulation who worked with us recently to re-insulate our attic and some other places within our house. We moved into a home that had rather shoddy insulation that seems to have been a DIY job from the previous owner. Our ceilings are probably 24+ feet and have many skylights - not a great recipe for winter. We reached out to several vendors, both who are contracted by Pepco (via their home energy audit program) and some who are not. Chris from Quality Insulation (not part of the pepco energy program) was very professional from the start. He spent the most time inspecting what needs to be done and also spent a lot of time answering our questions, following up with a very detailed proposal. There was no sales pitch in his approach, everything was factual and I did not feel like he was positioning things that were unnecessary. Our was an involved job - they took around 2.5 days to get it done, which included removing existing insulation in places where prior work was not well done. They did an excellent job cleaning the attic and other places first, took extensive pictures of before after and left the house absolutely clean each day. Post completion, and after we wrapped up the job. I realized some of our fans stopped working/wobbled - I called Chris. He and his team came right over, disassembled both fans and fixed the issue. As it turns out, it was just co-incidence and not their fault. But he did not make me feel like I shouldn't have called. Overall, absolutely stellar service, manners and cleanliness. read more

Greetings fellow Yelpers. We have a townhouse, circa early-80s, a mix of nice construction and the kind of poor construction one finds when it's time to update or fix a problem. Sigh. We knew we needed more insulation in the attic, but after the first winter, discovered how little insulation (read: none) in between garage and the kitchen above. Home construction and codes are not my areas of expertise, so, between my laptop, Google and a couple of helpful sites, I become an apprentice armed with enough information to drive experts crazy. Chris responded via the Yelp messenger, but I also provided my mobile # so we could effect quicker communication. We arranged a time/date for him to assess our issues. He arrived on time, was polite and answered my questions gently. His explanations made sense and he dissuaded me from things I may want, but didn't need, such as a radiant barrier or creating a storage area in the attic. He's right- while I'd love to store more junk, it's just not a great idea to store more in the attic (was not designed as such, and too costly to create). These traits are consistent with others who have evaluated QI. If Chris doesn't, he should pride himself on his honesty. QI's quote was competitive with other service providers. We went with QI because of the positive interaction we had with Chris and all the great evaluations y'all provided here on Yelp. The team arrived on time, were polite, efficient, and effective. They covered the furniture and floor, sealed the wires/plumbing/vents/light fixtures piercing the attic ceiling, blew in insulation into the attic and in between the garage ceiling and kitchen. They also completed other tasks, such as enclosing kneewalls and sealed the joist/joist rim in the garage. Total cost was ~$4K If anyone has specific questions, you are welcome to send a message. We're super happy with QI's work. Note the ceiling drywall cuts- that was done by hand- very good workmanship, allowing the cut-outs to be replaced (greatly reducing potential costs) Not only is the house warmer and far less drafty, it is much more quiet (makes sense- but hadn't planned on the extra benefit). Lastly, our friends who referred QI to us received a $100 referral fee! Great interaction from start to finish. Thanks Chris and his QI team! read more

Chris and team insulated my attic last year. Chris's quote came in lowest by about $500 so we were initially skeptical that corners may be cut but we were very happy with the work. The cost was about $1,400 including replacing drywall but excluding touch up and sparkle which we had our handyman do. Our heating bills were about 20% less last winter than previous seasons and we didn't need to run space heaters in our kids' rooms which was great. Recommend! read more

Chris came out to give us an estimate for an issue we were having in our HVAC room and he was fantastic. He communicated super well throughout the scheduling process and showed up during the proposed time window. He was thorough and took his time to examine everything. Ultimately, it was not an issue he was able to help us with, but despite that, he still took the time to explain the issue and provide recommendations for next steps, even though those weren't steps his company could help with. He also took a few pictures of the issue while he was examining everything and texted them to us after the appointment. He really went above and beyond, even though there was nothing in it for him, which we really appreciated as new homeowners. We would absolutely call this company if we ever need insulation in our home in the future. read more

My husband, Mike, has been converting our detached garage into a home gym, and working out in the extreme cold has been tough for him. Insulating the garage was the solution. We reached out to Chris and he came out on a Sunday for the estimate. He took his time with the estimate, explained everything and was very thorough. He was quick to get us a price that day, with no pressure and setting up a day for the installation was very easy. On that day, they were running late but called and let us know. He told us that the job would be done in one day, and he kept his word. On the day of, the crew also discovered that they needed to frame the garage first, but didn't change their estimate, qualities of a true professional. Whatever he outlined on the job was exactly what my husband envisioned for the garage. Husband is extremely happy with the way the garage turned out, and can already feel a difference when he's in there working out. Great company, great team, and a great experience. You will not be disappointed! read more

Quality Insulation - Garage gym - Insulation Installation Near Me

The team did a great job, from the logistics to the attic insulation work itself. We had trouble scheduling with another, more expensive company and after two weeks of trying, decided to get more bids. Chris came out a day after I called, gave us an estimate that was less than half of the other company's quote, and included basement rim joist spray foam. They showed up on time Friday morning and were done earlier than expected. If you have a drafty, old row house in DC, I highly recommend Quality Insulation to help fix the problem. They are efficient, economical, and understand what these houses need to make them more comfortable. read more

Quality Insulation sealed and blew in insulation 8n my 1930s DC rowhome. They were responsive, had reasonable quotes, didn't try and upcharge me, showed up on time, did the job, and left my house cleaner than when they arrived. Their workers were quick and efficient. Highly recommend. My attic is extremely ceiling (can't stand up, slopes down to just a few inches of space at the back). Quality Insulation sealed as many penetrations and cracks as they could reach and blew in about 2 feet of insulation. House is noticeably less humid in the summer. No longer hit that 'wall' of hit air when going to the upper level. read more

Quality Insulation - After new insulation. - Insulation Installation Near Me

Our house is nearly 40 years old, and raccoons had nested in the attic several winters ago. The insulation was a mess and needed to be removed and replaced. Chris, the owner of Quality Insulation, came by to give us an estimate for the work, which included removing all the old insulation, both blown-in and batting, sealing all possible leaks between the upstairs bedrooms and the attic, disinfecting, replacing the baffles around the edges of the attic, and blowing in 18" of eco-friendly insulation. His estimate was very reasonable, the work took less than a day, and Chris's crew cleaned up completely when they were done. Since then, the house has been much more comfortable, both in terms of temperature and humidity. We are very happy with the work done by Quality Insulation and highly recommend them. read more

Awesome service, they did more than I asked and it was exactly how they said it would be. House is so much warmer

After a very strong recommendation from Pete Lim at Thin Line Home Inspections, I decided to go with this company for attic insulation. Couldn't have been happier with the prompt response, exceptional service and end result. Can't recommend them enough!! It's a no brainer! read more

Even with lower energy prices, insulation is the most obvious way to save a few bucks and make the house more comfortable. To get someone experienced is key, but look no further than Chris and Lisa. They take this VERY seriously as do their workers, making sure all your needs are met and you are completely satisfied. In our case, we bought a Cape Cod style house with a second floor that we just couldn't keep cool enough in the hot summer days and would sometimes be five degrees Fahrenheit warmer than main floor, or more. Chris came in and made suggestions on what do do and also gave options to save money if I wanted. After they were done the problem went away. If you want this done, you want it done right. hire the right team. Hire Quality Insulation. read more

Chris & his employees do excellent work. I had existing attic insulation removed, gaps air sealed, baffles & new insulation installed. The difference afterwards was fairly immediate. Chris has integrity, project costs are reasonable and his team is efficient, unobtrusive and professional. Highly recommend! read more

I imagine they do good work but the response time and organization made it really difficult to work with them. I contacted them in November. Didn't hear back til late December. I responded to schedule time but didn't hear back about scheduling for another week. They did a wonderful (on time, easy, communicative) estimate that I found very reasonable (and I felt well informed). But, when scheduling they said they need 4 parking spaces which requires me to work with the city to reserve which was a headache. I went through the headache and asked them to please confirm the date they said they could do it before I completed the dc reserved parking headache. But I followed up twice to confirm the date and they didn't respond to confirm. I'm so glad I didn't pay the extra money to reserve the parking spots bc they again weren't responsive so I wasted my time and almost wasted money. I'm sure they do good work. But the lack of responsiveness felt like what should hv been a simple transaction was too challenging to make work. Maybe they can reserve their own spots to remove that burden from customers when they can't commit in a timely manner? Or maybe it's Covid related staffing? Idk. But I'm disappointed. Would hv loved to make it park. read more

Working with Chris at Quality Insulation was fantastic. Our second floor is so much warmer now (and I expect will be much more comfortable in the summer too)! Chris came to our house to check out the space, talked through options and considerations, provided a detailed very quickly, and completed the work quickly and efficiently. As others have noted, they put down pads and vacuumed after the work. They provided before and after pictures showing the work completed. And best of all, it has made our home a lot more comfortable, which is especially important with a baby about to join the family. If you are considering having insulation work done, I would strongly recommend considering Quality Insulation! read more

Selected Quality Insultation from Yelp recommendations and 2 other quote comparisons. Just had QI add insulation to our attic 12.31.21. Chris prepared a professional and competitively priced quote. They showed up for the work on time, called me to ensure that my cars would not be blocked in our driveway, and took care not to run over our grass when he pulled into the driveway. The job was done very professionally. Runners placed throughout, vacuumed after they were finished. No mess. 3 1/2 hrs done on a moderately sized house. I wish I would have had QI do this work 10 years ago! They did a great job and I trust them. Strong recommendations for Chris and his team! read more

Can not recommend this company enough. The entire process was easier than I expected it to be. Chris was the 1st company I called. He came out, showed up on time, inspected my attic and explained everything to me about my current insulation, why my home had hot and cold spots, and the entire installation process. After he left he provided me a quote almost instantly. I thought the price was good, but called another company just to compare. The 2nd company that came out quoted me a much higher price and had a lot of add in costs that ended up being more than double the estimate that Quality had provided. The appt was made and Chris confirmed the appt a few days before they were scheduled to come out. His guys came out and got right to work in the attic. They put down drop cloth from my front door all the way up the stairs and to the attic. The guys worked hard and fast and the process was surprisingly a lot quieter than I expected it to be. Before I knew it the guys were done and packing up their stuff. Chris came in and we discussed the work that was done and I went into the attic and everything looked perfect. Chris and I walked from room to room to make sure there were no ceiling cracks and all the light fixtures worked. I went back downstairs while Chris stayed upstairs. Then I heard someone vacuuming. After vacuuming upstairs Chris vacuumed my stairs and my living room floor. He left the floor cleaner than when he arrived. I would definitely recommend Quality Insulation for home insulation needs. read more

Excellent service. Clean and neat. Owner is very nice. Explained everything to me.

Look no further for any other companies ,Quality Insulation was great. Chris came over to give us an estimate, he took a number of pictures of the attic space and explained in detail what needed to be done. He sent us a quote the next day along with the pictures he had taken. Chris and his crew were professional, they rolled out material to cover the floor and stairs. They wore booties too. Afterwards, Chris took new photos and once again walked us through the steps that they took to add the blown in insulation. I highly recommend Quality Insulation. read more

I was beyond impressed with the work that the Quality Insulation team performed. They were extremely friendly, knowledgable and started the work a couple days after I decided to move forward. I will absolutely be recommending their services to others. read more

I requested a quote for removal of existing insulation in the attic and reinsulate it. Dan Robinson, the owner of the company texted me and called me to get some details. He didn't mind stopping by on Sunday to take a look at the attic and measure it. They scheduled my job quickly and finished in 2 days. Everybody in the crew was wonderful. Chris, the team leader, deserves special thanks for the wonderful job of replacing my bathroom fans. They asked me to check the attic after they removed the old insulation and blowing in the new one. Overall it is an excellent job done. I highly recommend quality insulation and will call them for all my future insulation projects. read more

We recently bought a 60 year old home in desperate need of new insulation and after taking multiple bids chose quality insulation and could not be happier. Several larger companies wanted to use fill that was chemically treated and was much more expensive. Chris was extremely helpful and low pressure during our initial consultation and was willing to help with the removal of an extremely heavy attic fan that had outlived its usefulness. The insulation has completely changed the climate in our home. It is now June and we are more comfortable even after moving the thermostat 3 degrees warmer. We also appreciate that everyone on the team were wearing masks and kept our home extremely neat and dust free during and after the work. My wife and I were both able to work from home without interruption during the two day effort. Thank you quality insulation! read more

Chris and his crew did a great job insulating our attic knee wall. They were prompt, courteous and very neat. The installation was a level 1 as in superior. Cuts / sizing all were executed in a neat workmanlike manner. In addition to all this their pricing was competitive. In short you will not regret selecting these guys. read more

Quality Insulation - Insulation Installation Near Me

I strongly recommend working with Quality Insulation. I used them to fix some duct work and re-insulate the attic of my D.C. rowhouse. From the start they were very professional. The estimate process was easy - Dan set up a time to come out to the house, showed up on time, gave me good advice, and then provided an estimate on the spot. One week later, his team arrived. They were professional, hard-working, and made sure everything was clean when they left. They also did a great job of explaining the process and outcome. Most importantly, they did great work in the attic and I notice a difference already because of the insulation. read more

I didn't think "enthusiastic" would be how I described my feelings post insulation installation, but that is exactly how I feel! Chris and his team were a pleasure to work with. We had our old 1950s insulation removed in the attic and new insulation put in. They paid attention to all these little details (such as putting a new screen on our attic window) that really made a difference. They left our house nice and neat and were very pleasant. The whole process was so easy and made such a difference that we decided to hire Chris a month later for a bigger project - taking down the ceiling in our garage, patching air leaks, and filling with insulation, an replacing the ceiling to improve the comfort of the rooms over the garage. It was a big job and Chris' team and the contractors he hired to do the drywall part were all excellent. I would hire them again in a heartbeat! *and as an update, you know those smiley face frowny face things comparing your to all your neighbors that the electric company sends out each month? Well despite our best efforts (we even line dry laundry) we were always in the mediocre-to frown category. Not this month! We made it to the elusive super-happy "great" category and apparently use 24% LESS energy than "efficient homes". Come join the super-efficient club and give these guys a call! read more

I had Quality Insulation fully insulate my attic space and air-seal where needed. Their inspection was thorough and the price very fair. They did the job quickly efficiently and left the place spotless. A year later I needed a copy of the invoice and received it within an hour. I highly recommend this company! read more

We've hired a lot of contractors over the years for various work, and without reservation, our experience with Chris and the Quality Insulation team was the overall best experience. When I first contacted him, Chris couldn't answer the phone but immediately replied with a text message, and called me back shortly afterward. When we met, he explained the process, products they use, the schedule, and pricing. We ended up blowing in insulation to the attic and reinsulating the garage ceiling. From start to finish, the whole Quality Insulation crew was friendly, wore masks, worked quickly, and cleaned up after. The end product is great, which you can probably also get from lots of insulation contractors, but you won't feel as positive about the overall experience as you will with these guys. read more

Would not return any of my calls, texts or emails despite following his directions to email to the letter.

Easy to work with. Easy to schedule. And competitively priced. I also appreciated they didn't mess around with the utility rebate program, and they didn't try to upsell me on stuff I didn't like other companies. A great experience. Definitely recommend! read more

Pretty damn amazing. This team from initial contact to cleaning up after work was completed was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and quick! Dan, the owner, came out on a Sunday to inspect where I thought I needed insulation work. He was quick to tell me not to waste my money on any area other than the attic. Dan gave a quick, cheap solution to try instead for the basement (foam inserts behind socket wall plate) and moved on. I received the quote same day and was able to get a time schedule the same week if I was available. Instead I scheduled for a couple of weeks out. The team arrived just a little later than the scheduled 7:30am and were done around 9:30am. They put care into making sure my carpet, bed, and clothes were covered from any debris. If they needed to use anything they asked politely and took care to limit their work area. Once the work was completed they asked if I'd like to inspect their work, which I did. Additionally, in the receipt they attached before and after photos documenting their work. Extremely happy with the work. Now here's to hoping it'll cut my utility bill in half! read more

I called them up because of the 40 5-star reviews. A fella answered and offered to come out *right now*, which is fantastic, although I couldn't do it. He then offered a convenient time tomorrow. That's a great turnaround to address my home insulation issue and look forward to working with them. Mystery man who answered the phone, you're the best! Update from the next day: The guy came out, took a look around, and gave me what I think is a great price and solid advice. read more

From start to finish the experience with Quality was seamless. In addition to being friendly, Dan was also expedient with responses and the estimate. The quote we received required no haggling, and we ultimately decided to schedule installation on the spot. The crew showed up right on time, and clearly both knew what they were doing and were treating our house with the utmost of care. I was working downstairs as they were installing and hadn't realized they had finished until I was getting the final walk-through. Everything was absolutely pristine when they left. Dan had mentioned to me while they were setting up that his crew had been working with him for over 15 years, and given the pricing, customer service, and quality of the end result, this experience and cohesion really shines through. While I am unlikely to ever need insulating needs again, I will wholeheartedly refer all my friends and family to Quality Insulation when they are in need. read more

My experience with Quality Insulation confirms my preference to work with family businesses. Professional from start to finish. Dan provided a detailed and fair quote that showed the maximum cost with a promise that any services not provided or resources not used would not be on the final invoice. This helped us budget for the project. The team arrived on time, explained exactly what they would be doing, treated our house as they would their own (taking care of floors and walls), performed the work quickly (about 2.5 hours for an 800 sqft attic) and left the place spotless. As promised the final invoice was less than the quote since they used only one sheet of plywood instead of two. Dan echoed the sentiment I hear from many family businesses: you're not going to risk the business you have built over the years (and intend to keep in the family for the future) with shoddy service or nickle-and-diming even a single customer. read more
