ABS out of Indian Trail. Ask For Jeff Hoppie

Don't forget that you get tax credits for insulation work... Talk to your accountant to see if you'll be eligible

You could do it yourself and save some money. Home Depot rents the machines. All you'd need is someone to shoot it or be down loading the machine. Its not hard to do. Done it plenty of times.

Hello,

RE: spray foam

Get multiple bids (3-5) and ask a lot of questions. When you get the information make sure they give you very, very detailed information about what they're doing (on the estimate).

They like to make it sound simple but it's not. So many of these products are changing rapidly. And you'll see when you have different estimates every has "the right way to do it" and they'll all be different.

I also recommend once you get the name of the manufacturer call them directly and ask questions. You'll likely get different answers from the manufacturer than you will from the reps.

Even the most experienced insulation co has products they don't fully understand. And insulation cos. are popping out of the woodwork. (Former builder = new insultation co.)

Don't rush and good luck!

My husband and I did this on our first home. We rented the machine from Home Depot. We were really novices and had NO problem - except we were covered in insulation when we finished, but that was kinda fun ( we were newlyweds

Must not have had any fiberglass in it.. If it had, it sure wouldn't have been fun..lol
