    ELM did a great job and not over priced. Tommy was great with explaining everything in the estimate. Mauricio and his crew were amazing. They were on time and got everything set up and worked hard the whole day. Since we were cleaning out ash from the fires and debris from roofing they did an amazing job. The end product was great. They made sure the attic and crawl space were sealed and disinfected. Mauricio went over the end result and made sure we were happy and satisfied. Definitely recommend using ELM.

    Final installation (2/6)

    I had a very good experience working with ELM. They installed a vapor barrier and new insulation under our house, cleaned the entire crawl space before the installation, replaced old/destroyed HVAC ducts, and rodent-proofed the crawl space. What set ELM apart from other contractors we spoke to were the individuals we worked with directly. Sean, who did our inspection, was very thorough (actually going into our crawlspace unlike other contractors), explained everything he saw in the inspection, explained all of the work he recommended, and gave us a very accurate estimate. The owner Eli was very responsive over the phone with calls and texts while the job was being done. And the team lead by David that did the installation was incredibly hardworking and did excellent work. The project was scoped for 1-1.5 days and it went to 2 days (there was a lot of cleaning in the crawlspace before the installation could start) plus some finishing touches on a third at no extra cost. All-in-all we were very happy working with ELM and very happy with their work. (Photos are in reverse order so that you can see the final installation first)

    After with insulation.

    This company is amazing. They were willing to work with us regarding cost. The owner Eli was a pleasure to work with and was very accommodating and patient. The crew arrived at 9am and was done at 11:30am. They worked diligently and within 2 1/2 hours completed insulation for 2500sqft.

    I hired a general contractor who subcontracted to this company to perform a full attic insulation removal, cleanup, and HVAC ducting complete replacement. They could not have done a more terrible job, and I didn't find out until after all the work was done that no permits were pulled (not sure if that's ELM's fault or the contractor) and I also learned that ELM is not properly licensed to do HVAC work in the first place (requires a C20 classification on their license, which they do not have, they only have a C2 classification which is for insulation). The insulation job was horrible - there are hot spots around my entire house because they didn't push the insulation all the way to the edge. The ducting job was even worse - zero mastic used, only a few duct connections have zip ties, exposed metal wyes (already sweating moisture), some of the ducts are literally pulling away and leaking air. All of the wye connections are leaking conditioned air, none of the duct boots are insulated. Oh, and in a bunch of places all they used was literal duct tape - which isn't even up to code. The only positive I can say about them was the crew was extremely professional in their interactions with me and very friendly. They got all the work done in about 7 hours - but that may also explain why it was such a poor job. I've now had to have a different company, with the proper license classifications come out to redo the majority of their duct work. As for the insulation, I guess I'll just have to hire someone else to fix that as well.

    5 stars for ELM! Our attic hadn't been cleaned ever, and it was very overdue for a refresh. The ELM team did a fantastic job removing the old insulation, cleaning, sanitizing and re-installing. They also ensured that no rodents would have access to the attic which is a HUGE win for us, especially during winter when they somehow would find their way in. Service was great and quick from start to finish and prices are unbeatable compared to 3 other local companies we spoke with. Thank you ELM - could not recommend enough to anyone looking for reliable attic cleaning & rodent proofing services!

    After the insulation has been installed.

    I found ELM Insulation & Sound on Yelp while looking for a company to install insulation in my attic. I was impressed by the number of 5 star reviews they had, but more importantly by the respectful manner in which the company's owner responded to clients. The owner, Eli, responded to my inquiry the same day (Sunday) and sent someone (Tommy) to give me an estimate 2 days later. The price quoted was great, and considerably less than my neighbor paid to have the same work done by another company, so I agreed to work with ELM Insulation. I wanted to be eligible for a LADWP rebate on the work so I showed Tommy, the representative that I'd been working with, all of the LADWP's requirements including getting a permit and passing a LADBS inspection. He assured me that the work done by ELM would pass inspection. When I spoke with Eli, the company's owner, I asked him to add to our contract that I would pay the 10% deposit before the start of work, 80% upon completion, and the final 10% only after the work passed inspection. He was fine with that arrangement. The workers came the next day and did very professional high quality work. They cleaned debris out of the attic, sealed any openings in order to rodent proof the space, installed the insulation, put new wire mesh on all vent access points around the perimeter of the house and over the vents on the roof, and cleaned up after themselves. Miriam, who works in their office, sent me everything I need for my rebate: copy of the permit, the estimate / the contract, the before and after pics, and the product specs. On the day of the inspection, Tommy arrived just before the inspector and brought the required ladder for the inspector to use, AND MY ATTIC INSULATION WAS APPROVED! I'm so glad I gave ELM Insulation a try. This was a smooth process. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to have this type of work done. They were professional, fast, communicative, friendly, and very helpful.

    Living in a home without insulation felt like living inside an ice box. It was nearly impossible to keep the rooms warm without constantly running a heater. After months of battling the cold and high electricity bills, we finally decided it was time to invest in proper insulation. It wasn't cheap but there's currently an Insulation Tax Credit covering up to 30% of the cost, with a maximum of $1,200, which helped justify the decision even more. This was one of the few times we were truly happy with the outcome of a contracting job. From start to finish, our project manager, Netanel, was communicative and professional. He and his team did an EXCEPTIONAL job. Before insulating the attic, they vacuumed the entire attic. Our home is nearly a century old, so the attic was full of dust, debris, rodent droppings, and even a lizard skeleton. Netanel clearly values long-term relationships and customer satisfaction. When one of the workers accidentally drilled a large hole in the wall, he brought in a painting specialist to repair and repaint the wall properly. He made it clear that our satisfaction was his top priority. After the job was completed, Netanel conducted a thorough inspection and walk-through to ensure everything was done to standard. The transformation was INCREDIBLE. Check out our before and after photos!

    We had a good experience with ELM. The crew was professional and friendly, and communicated well. They were also neat and clean. the quality of the spray foam installation appeared very good. Recommended.

    Our new insulation
    Amy P.

    Eli and his team are wonderful! Before ELM came our insulation was a mess and nonexistent, and Eli and his team came in and fixed everything perfectly. His team cleaned everything! No mess at all! I was so impressed with the quality of work and the installation looked amazing!

    Recently used ELM to add insulation to a renovation project. Eli came out, put together a quote on the spot and we had it scheduled within a few days. The work is fantastic. We needed three different types of insulation given the requirements of our project, sound proofing, etc., and Eli helped us figure out what each area needed. Spray foam, fiberglass and rockwool in those respective areas. The crew worked quickly and cleaned up well after themselves. Highly recommend.

    new insulation added

    ELM was very responsive, worked out a great price, and scheduled me right away. His team was great in the house too! very clean, organized, and properly sealed the working area to keep the rest of the house clean.

    Before
    Julie D.

    Like many right now, we had to deal with remediation after the Eaton fire, which is an overwhelming process involving insurance and restoration companies, along with so many unknowns about safety. We decided to hire insulation removal and replacement on our own and within two days, we had our attic HEPA cleaned (there was a lot of ash and our existing insulation was looking pretty sad) insulation removed and reinstalled, as well as in our crawl space. Additionally, our ducts and condenser were cleaned, all for a reasonable price compared to what we had been quoted. Eli was very attentive and his crew worked amazingly in stormy conditions to have everything done before remediation began. They cleaned up after the job well and answered all of our questions. Definitely recommend ELM if you're looking for any of these services.

    Before cleaning and insulation removal

    Quick response, accommodating, fabulous work, great and trustworthy crew, excellent communication. Save time and book with ELM Insulation and Sound Solutions for above-and-beyond service! I initially reached out here on Yelp because of the many rave reviews and had a response in under 24 hours. When following up by phone Eli answered and scheduled coming to our place within a few days. Upon meeting and inspection he gave us a reasonable quote. We agreed, paid a deposit and work was completed the following week. They were on time coming into an evacuation area, were neat and efficient. I highly recommend Eli and his team for a no-nonsense meticulous and conscientious approach to attic cleaning, insulation and sound solutions. I look forward to working with them again. Pictures below are before and after. All surfaces were vacuumed and wiped down. Thanks ELM Insulation and Sound Solutions!

He was very knowledgeable and very detail oriented. He showed me everywhere that he would seal for rodent proofing. His pricing was exactly where I would put it. He was able to fit me in in a week and on the day of the job he had 4 guys; 2 of which were family members. They were all very professional and worked very quickly and well. I had a lot of wires and lines running in the attic and was worried some of them would get damaged (I know my fault and they should have been tacked up to begin with) but they worked around them and nothing was damaged. I was also worried about my roof since it was just done with lightweight concrete but no tiles were broken. They setup portable walls that were sealed with contractors plastic sheeting so any dust/contaminants were sealed away and directed at a HEPA filter. They finished the 1300 sqft attic and also the garage attic in about 6 hours and it looked perfect. I was very impressed. They even removed about 50ft of old HVAC piping from the garage attic (when they probably could have left it). I feel like it's very hard to find contractors along with their team that truly take pride in their work in this day in age but Leo and his team are the exception. It helps that it is a family owned and run business which mean they really care about their clients and also the work done. I will be recommending Leo Home Solutions to anyone that needs similar work done!

They sealed the house, cleaned the attic thoroughly, and set up traps, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. Their pricing was fair--not the cheapest, not the most expensive--but the quality of their work and service was absolutely worth it. From start to finish, the team was professional, reliable, and true to their word. They arrived exactly when they said they would, and Cesar and Edgar did an excellent job. They worked extremely hard, paid close attention to detail, and made sure everything was done right. Before choosing Leo Home Solutions, I had contacted another exterminator who inspected my home and provided a quote. Even before doing any work, they repeatedly asked--and texted--for a 5-star review, which felt unprofessional. Although that company was slightly less expensive, I am incredibly grateful I trusted my instincts and went with Leo Home Solutions instead. Leo Home Solutions is honest, professional, and truly does outstanding work. I would 1000% recommend them to anyone dealing with rats or similar issues.

His quote was definitely on the expensive side compare to a competitors quote but he did mention that his quote is expensive because they use 12mm thick vapor barriers which is more resistant. The other competitor quoted me around half the price but for 6mm barriers. I again asked ChatGPT and it told me that 12mm is preferred because 6mm is prone to breaking once a contractor or someone go down to the crawlspace and when that happens it loses its purpose to control vapor.

He immediately insisted (more like demanded) that we needed new ducts as well as a new system. When I told him that we wanted a unit with a higher SEER rating for energy efficiency and lower electric bills, he dismissed my suggestion as if I was stupid for even asking about it. My guess is that they have some sort of deal with Goodman, because that is the brand that they forced on us. What was the grand total you ask? Over $20,000. And that was 8 years ago! Not only did they NOT replace all of the ducts (like they said they would) their installation was the most Mickey Mouse-looking trash I have ever seen. They must have put at least 5 pounds of mastic tape around the unit to try and seal it up and it still leaked cold air after a week of use. These are scam artists masquerading as professionals. Even after that ordeal was over, they would call us constantly, year after year, telling us we needed to pay for a tech to come out and service our system. Besides hosing off our compressor unit with our own garden hose, the only thing their tech ever did was aggressively try to sell us on more services. They never once opened up the unit to clean the coils. They never once topped off the coolant. They never even cleaned out the condensate pipe. 8 years later and I am paying the price with outrageous cooling bills, a leaky unit that is more mastic than air conditioner, and a clogged condensate line that I had to clean out myself (it took about 5 minutes once I had the right tool). Do not let these people into your home. There is a reason that you see so many one-star reviews among the four and five-star ones. Do not disregard those reviews (they are real people). This company will take advantage of anybody who is not particularly knowledgeable about HVAC. They are pushy and rude; they will try to sell you products and services that you do not need. They will continue to harass you with phone calls for years afterwards. Stay away. Stay far, far away.

They were able to address our concerns in real time and went above and beyond to make sure our house was safe from further rat infestations. Overall everyone at this company was great to work with when we had questions (and we had plenty). Our attic is about 700 sq ft, and the house is about 1400 sq ft. The cost was about $10,700 which included asbestos clean out, attic clean out, rat containment, decontamination, rodent proofing of the attic and exterior, furnace closet clean out and proofing (bc the rats got into it), garage cleaning/decontamiation/proofing, reinstalling insulation and ducts, 2 year warranty AND a custom outside door that goes from the garage to the side of the house (not main garage door if that makes sense). It might seem pricey but in comparison to a different company in our area who quoted around the same price but didnt actually go into the attic to see what was up (aka didnt see the extent of damage/didnt know asbestos was there/ didnt know we would need the new ducts so didnt quote for that) and didnt have the additional custom door, picking Green Rodent was a no brainer.
