Why Insulation Quotes Can Be High...

This is a real quick blog on why insulation quotes can be high...

A client was a little perturbed when I informed them that prior to our arrival, the knee wall attic space (floored) needed to be empty. Also, the walls of the home needed to be stripped clean of photos, dressers moved away and items of value covered (interior drill). The client stated that they didn't have time to do this...so my quote to them was raised by over $300. Why so much?

We would have to not only remove the items, but put them back as well. This takes time - and my crew will move items very carefully so as not to damage any of them. The liability factor goes way up when we are asked to do something that isn't weatherization. We will typically move the heavy items if the client is unable; however we are not "movers" in general. The client understood the quote and was willing to pay the additional money just to have "nothing to do" with the project.

Before asking your contractor to do this, I would advise having a good sense in how they will treat your belongings. What you don't want is a guy playing rhinoceros with your possessions.

I feel better now...
