    I called RBH Insulation to assess the existing attic insulation and for an estimate. Beginning…read morewith the young lady who answered the phone, to Greg who called me back to schedule the estimate and Eric, who called to confirm the attic repair appointment, they were all professional and courteous. I appreciated Greg's honest assessment on what needed to be done. Upon receipt of the proposal, the price was fair and reasonable. The two man crew of Gustavo and Will were punctual and worked hard non-stop (except for a short break). They respected me and my home. When they were done, moved the items back where they were and cleaned up afterwards. The attic looks clean and fresh! I wish I knew about RBH Installation 15 plus years ago because the initial installation would have been done right the first time.

    This review has been a long time in coming. We just finished a series of renovations and upgrades…read morethat took us several months. I am now looking back at the various companies with whom we worked, and taking stock of our experiences. We went with RBH because our roofer recommended them. We also took his advice for hiring the electrician and rain gutter company we selected. We were very pleased with these last two choices. RBH Insulation, however, was a bit of a different matter. Our attic cleanout took place on a Friday, with the crew returning the following Monday to install the new insulation. Upon them leaving for the weekend, I went up into our attic, and was dismayed to discover old nails literally all over the place, so much so that I texted Greg, the RBH representative with whom we were working. In one small, four-foot by four-foot area, for example, I picked up over a dozen nails. (One of the first things our roofer told us was that his crew's work stripping our old roof would result in nails and debris dropping into the attic. Understandable, of course, but that's why we were told to plan to hire a cleanout service like RBH.) Greg's explanation was that it's very difficult for his crew to vacuum out metal objects as they suction out the old insulation, but that they would go back through with a magnet to get nails. While his crew worked the following Monday, I sat for the entire time at our dining room table watching them go back and forth. At no point did any of the crew acknowledge that they'd received this directive. Neither did I see anyone come or go with a magnet full of additional metal debris, so I'm hoping that the crew actually followed through on this. What is more, the crew cleaned none of the dirt and debris that had fallen through the old roof and was now spread on the insulation of our HVAC system. See the pictures. I was under the impression that we were paying to have our attic cleaned. If they're spending hours and hours vacuuming, why skip this? The most disconcerting discovery I made upon inspecting the crew's work before they added new insulation was that they had completely broken one of the large wooden support beams that holds up a huge duct for our forced air. I heard plenty of crashing around above me while the crew worked the first day, but no one reported anything damaged. Whoever broke the support beam simply carelessly draped the drooping air duct over another one, and left it. This was no small break. I'm talking about a large board that measures about twelve feet from end to end. Again, see my photos. Greg made a big deal about the rodent-proofing his service would include. This was good news, as we live on an alley, and there is a storm drain next door to us, as well. I've seen the kind of thorough work that companies can perform to ensure attics aren't accessible to animals. When I asked the crew about this, they had no idea what I was talking about. Again, I messaged Greg. He showed up at our home with a bottle of foam spray, the likes of which anyone can purchase at Home Depot, and said he'd be giving this to the crew. Later in the day, I received a set of pictures that included one of the top of a light fixture that now had foam sealant around it. (I was never concerned about rodents getting into our lights.) Another shows a board that now has holes plugged up. (Not sure there was ever much of a threat that rodents would burrow into solid wood.) When my roofer found out how much we spent on RBH, he was very surprised. Apparently, the costs had gone up considerably. (We paid $1500 more than he'd estimated we'd be charged.) Additionally, our roofer told us that we would immediately notice the effects of new insulation; our air conditioning, for example, would come on far less often, he told us. This was not the case at all. We have noticed no change. I realize that RBH isn't exactly at fault for these last two details, but they added to our consternation when all was said and done. Greg strikes me as a nice guy, and was pleasant to work with as we got started. I've given three stars because of this, and because it's evident that the actual insulation job was thorough. Also, the crew did good work preparing the house to prevent dust and debris from the vacuuming process from getting into our home.

    I asked for a rough estimate online without an inspection for a typical 1100 square foot house…read more They told me it it was illegal for them to give a rough estimate without an in person inspection because they are licensed. A few of the places I checked with didn't want to give a rough estimate, but none of the them lied about their reasoning, so they didn't get reviews. Some even gave me a rough estimate right here on yelp. Based on some of the other reviews, it seems like this sort of pressured sales approach is their business model, instead of helpful answers and good work.

    This was the lowest bidder by maybe 10% and did OK work, but I had to check their work then request…read morecorrections, and they were unclear on scope options so I was left with unsealed fixtures and fiberglass debris in the house to clean up myself. While they did work with me, did exceed expectations in rodent proofing patch support, and were quite friendly and ready to correct most shortcomings I pointed out, I would have preferred they not rely on my oversight to give quality work consistent with my original direction. They did not tape off a sealed plastic tunnel from the front door to the attic, did not let me know sealing off light fixtures was excluded, left some spotty gaps between batts of insulation and between batts and joists and did not run a second layer of insulation where I had requested it perpendicular to the first layer to better air seal joist gaps. They were unclear about IC-rated lights in contact with fiberglass batting insulation and its fire risk and did not seem to know the code on attic ventilation requirements enough to answer questions fans or vent sufficiency. Granted, I did not have insulation removal as part of the scope, it was already done by a prior contractor during rodent proofing. Instead of making a tunnel, they taped off a small space from the attic hatch to the floor and put construction paper down on the floor. This helped with scuffs to the floor and may have contained some of the fiberglass dust/particles, but did not protect from scuffs on the wall or contain the fiberglass during transit to the door that was shed from the new batts being carried in or from their clothes and shoes, even though they generally had only one person trafficking the batts up to the hatch. They bagged up debris in the attic and carried batts in bags in from the door. They removed all the paper and plastic before I was done with my inspection, an inspection that yielded more work required, then they didn't put protection back for the short time of rework. The foot traffic left some fiberglass flakes and particles strewn about the floor. It took me two hours of cleanup to get that debris fully clean so my baby could crawl on the floor again. I vacuumed with a shop vac, made three passes with a swifter dry duster, and vacuumed with a house vac. I suggest asking them during the bid stage about the following, getting a quote for that work (with optional line items if you don't need everything), and confirming it is written in the proposal/bid/work order scope before awarding the project: - a sealed tunnel for transport of removal and installation - cleanup with vacuums and swiffer after until no particles remain in house on floors or touch surfaces - air-sealing fixtures and other gaps from rooms below - code and safety insulation contact with fixtures and blocking with gaps (2"-3"?) to avoid contact - insulation contact with rafters/roof battens/sheathing - roof ventilation adequacy and fan install if needed - gap prevention - running a second layer of batts perpendicular to the base layer for better air sealing - minor or major rodent proofing gap sealing with mesh and foam This is a good list to consider for any contractor you use, some contractors may find this obvious or already include it, but you could still benefit from knowing what to check for and avoiding change orders. I ultimately was satisfied by the work and they made some corrections and concessions to balance the expectations vs delivered result, but would have been happier with more clarity of scope options (too late to seal the fixtures now unless I pay $600 more or do it myself) and I had to do lots of cleanup that I could have avoided if I simply rejected their suggested home debits containment method of bagging with no tunnel. Although I would not suggest this crew if you are not prepared to check their work, which not everyone is physically capable of doing in tight spaces of some attics.
