November 2023. Hayes came out, inspected and took photos and provided a recommended plan to better seal & insulate the attic. Included spray foam for air ducts, foam sealing all top plates and pot lights, installing vent baffles, and R-49 cellulose insulation to beef-up the attic.
Brian & Jamie were the installers and they were great. Very professional and knowledgeable. They took care to protect my flooring and walls when they had to run tubing for the insulation to my attic. Even though they had finished, I asked for “after” photos of the insulation. They happily obliged and went back up to the attic take multiple photos and emailed them to me.
During January of 2024, during sub-zero temperatures, I noticed a big difference in the comfort level. Previously, I used to sit at the top of my stairs and could feel a river of cold air going down the stairs. This year, I barely feel any air movement. Upstairs bedrooms are much warmer. I expect they’ll be much cooler this summer as well.
I took bids from 5 different companies. While Hayes wasn’t the cheapest, they seemed to be the most professional and experienced company. Very detailed proposal and knowledgeable staff. Price was fair IMO and I’m happy with the results.
