What the crew says in the video
- First, look for a company that has been in business for a while. It likely means they are doing a good job and people like them.
- Second, check their reviews to confirm that people like them.
- A well-reviewed company with years of experience is a good sign.
Questions to ask an insulation contractor
- How long have you been in business locally? Seal Tech has served Southeast Michigan since 2000.
- Can I see your reviews? Look at recent Google reviews, not just the star average.
- What exactly will you install, and how thick, in each area?
- Is air sealing included?
- Who does the work: your own crew or subcontractors?
- Do you handle permits and inspections?
- What warranty comes with the product and the labor?
- Are you licensed and insured?
Red flags
- A price given over the phone without seeing the house
- Vague estimates that do not list material and thickness
- Pressure to sign the same day
- No reviews, or only a handful
