Insulation as an afterthought....

What a MISTAKE!

Twenty years of Home Improvements and only doing insulation the right way the last 2. Unfortunately, insulation was always more of an afterthought rather than a critical aspect of homebuilding that required careful planning and expert installation. Indoor air quality, combustion safety, and properly sized and installed ventilation became robotic tasks, undeserving of the critical role they actually play in the health of a home.

Becoming a building scientist REVOLUTIONIZED the way my company and I think of building.

Experience doesn't matter, knowledge matters. No Home improvement project should take insulation, indoor air quality, comfort and safety issues as an afterthought.

Do it once, do it right, test in and test out.
