Reinsulated my 85 year old house
Several years ago I hired the Insulation Police to reinsulated my old house. My main issue was the north west corner where the kitchen is , is so cold and drafty. The men did come by and insulted the attic some of the walls and the kitchen. Winter came and the kitchen was just as drafty as before. The kitchen taps froze on many occasions. Insulation Police came back 5 times & there in no change cold kitchen frozen taps and ice damns around the house. There was areas in the kitchen around the wall oven and microwave that they refused to reinsulate, not sre why. They made up some bogus excuse why they wouldn't do it. There's also a wall in the front porch they refused to insulate as well , which makes the whole house cold. I would NOT recommend this company to anyone! I paid $10,000 and still have a cold drafty house with ice damns hanging around the house. As well as frozen kitchen taps all winter. Greg is all talk & no action!
- Approximate cost of services:
- $10,000.00
- What could this company do to improve their services?
- Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?

Reading this actually makes me laugh it is funny.
Just like i explained to you at your house.
Your oven and microwave was installed into a cantilever that was never finished on the inside it had no drywall or lath and plaster installed because there was not enough room to fit in the Stove Microwave combo.
When i install the Wallbar insulation it would fill up your stove causing fire issues. You have to install Drywall to hold the insulation in place. You needed to buy a smaller stove so this could be done or build a bigger cantilever so you could install drywall. You did not want to do either of my suggestions you just want to say that i am a bad insulator.
This was explained to you??
The second area was a wall with a electrical box and all wires in a 2x4 wall cavity. I explained to you that it is impossible to insulate this area and the other area unless you did some construction to make a cavity for us to install the insulation. That is normal construction practice.
You also elected to leave 1/2 of the fiberglass in your vaulted roof i only insulated you attic space and not the vaults where your ice damning problems are occurring.
I do understand that some people do not understand.
Thank you for your 0 rating.
