From the first consultation appointment to the finished project ARC insulation did a fantastic job with my insulation project which was not an easy project. They made recommendations on what was needed and went above and beyond to ensure the spaces were adequately ventilated and properly insulated. A newly installed bathroom exhaust fan was not vented correctly so they corrected that by venting to roof. They did everything per the job specification list and did so with the utmost professionalism and care for my home. I was originally told the job would take two days and they completed everything in one day. The installers were efficient and knew what they were doing! It was easy to schedule the work without a lot of wait time. I am very happy with all the work ARC did and I would highly recommend them.

ARC Insulation came out to do some warranty work in our attic for our builder (Airhart). The guys from ARC did fantastic work insulating our attic space above the ceiling in our family room and garage. They insulated a large area (45+ bags of blown cellulose insulation) in about 2 hours. No damage was done to the ceiling, no nail pops or anything. They were prompt, courteous, and super efficient. And they shared some pictures with me so I could see the great work they did when it was complete. These guys do great work!

I decided to go with cellulose insulation to dampen the sound from my upstairs neighbors throughout my entire 3 bedroom unit because I was informed during the estimate from Arc that it would reduce the noise from their unit by around 80% (I was really hoping for at least 50%) and it was the least invasive of all the options I looked into. The guys ran late on the first day and the work took one day longer than estimated, but they were very professional and cleaned-up the mess well when they left. Marshal, who did the patching and painting, did a wonderful job and you can't even tell the ceiling was cut into. The problem is that there is NO noticeable reduction in noise from the unit above me except in my bedroom, which might have a 10-20% improvement. I know this because I used a decibel meeter to measure the sound before and after the insulation was installed. It would have been worth every penny and more if it would have worked, but it was a huge waste of money and time based on the outcome. I clearly still hear voices, cell phone vibrations, and music in addition to all the footsteps and floor squeaks (these are the worst part, and I'm listening to the neighbors walk back-and-forth as I write this). Bottom line, I would avoid having this process done for anything in multi-unit building other than trying to block out noise from shared walls. I am writing this so others know since I had a difficult time finding any reviews from people who had a similar type of ceiling work done. I hope others can benefit from my lesson.

Communication was prompt in all aspects of the job. Initial analysis of existing installation was thorough and well explained. Installation team showed up on time and was very professional. Job took around 4 hours to do. One piece of feedback is I think the salesman could have explained the different advantage/disadvantages of different types of insulation (I had limited knowledge of them). I had to ask after the fact and the information could have been more detailed. Overall, a good experience

Matt Ward and his crew did an outstanding job. Matt is professional, answered all my questions, returned my phone calls in a timely fashion and explained all the details of the job. I highly recommend you use ARC Insulation for your insulation needs. It makes a huge difference especially in this hot weather.

The quote / inspection was extremely detailed compared to others we had out to quote. A much smaller and cheaper scope of work was quoted than the other company we had out, which didn't spend much time in the house. In addition, when doing the inspection they pointed out some loose ducting tape which could be fixed with 5 dollars of tape and increase our hvac pressure. Scheduling was easy. Crew showed up on time and was extremely professional. Work was done in a timely manner and clean up was excellent. Obviously, there was dust and some random bits of insulation here and there, but for how much work they did it was surprisingly low impact on us. They were excellent about laying down cover in all rooms and stairways. The only thing I can't comment on is the quality of their work as it was for a heating issue and we won't be able to tell until fall / winter.

Both jobs went well. There was a small issue with pressurization the first time we used the whole house fan after the attic was insulated. Jay sent out a crew right away to remedy the problem. They ended up installing a new vent closer to the fan than the ones that were already in place. Problem solved. We were so pleased with the service, we opted to have the addition done and the crew completed that job the same day. They did an excellent job cleaning up as well.

The representatives arrived as scheduled, performed thorough evaluation of attic insulation/ mold issues (including thermal inspection), another evaluator checked the home for energy efficiency to see if we could qualify for rebates, technicians arrived as scheduled and did the work and clean-up. Very professional all the way through. They even took pictures of the completed work in the attic to show us so we wouldn't have to crawl up there.

Arc Insulation went above and beyond our expectations. Chris was such a pleasure to work with and was very patient with all of my questions and concerns. We did spray foam insulation and had several companies come out to give us a quote. No one seemed to have the knowledge or customer service Arc Insulation was able to provide. Luis performed the actual spray foam insulation and did a wonderful job. Our home is now night and day with comfort levels. We could not be happier with this company and will use them in the future for insulating our crawl space. I would recommend them to anyone looking to have spray foam insulation done right.

Arc sent a guy over to inspect our house, inside and out, assisted by an infrared camera to look for heat loss. Arc offers this inspection free of charge. It obviously could have been essentially a sales call, but the inspector said that he thinks our house has plenty of insulation, and advised us to look towards improving the way the HVAC system directs heat and cold air. He didn't try to sell us anything. We greatly appreciated his professionalism and honesty.

Great. They were able to answer all my questions in a timely/honest manner. We did not want to add insulation to one wall since we will be replacing the window on that wall and reconfiguring the window size. They worked out a solution that minimized the double expense but air sealing to maximize comfort.
