In 2014 (6 years ago), Sunlight did spray foam insulation both in the attic and under the house of my raised 1900 shotgun. It's made a huge difference in my monthly costs and it's much more comfortable in here. The process getting it installed was painless and quick and I haven't had any issues with it at all. I recommend!

Sunlight Contractors is working in my home right now . We are doing a remodeling job throughout the entire home including all the floors throughout the home. Bathroom tiles will be demoed, bedroom floors ripped up and Sunlight Contractors is going to install brand new hardwood floors. Sunlight is also installing a whole house dehumidification system to improve our air quality. The open cell spray foam along with the whole house dehumidification system will decrease the humidity in our home and not only make our house comfortable but make our home energy efficient and reduce our energy bills. What I have experienced from sunlight already in our renovation project has been phenomenal. Sunlight has spray foamed our attic in the main house and guest house and we can feel the difference. Sunlight sprayed over 12,500 sq. ft of open cell Spray foam and Ira the owner of sunlight walked us through the process and made it a simple transition to transform Our home.

This was an amazing experience. As a first-time homebuyer, I was extremely nervous due to the cost of replacing a roof. Sunlight Contracting was not only super easy to work with and incredibly professional, but well-priced, especially for the job. They showed up on a Monday and finished that same day, replacing my crumbling shingles with architectural shingles on a 2,800 square foot roof. And they did it in just about 8 hours. Incredible. Ira kept me apprised of everything throughout the process and there were no surprises. His team even cleaned up almost every bit of scrap. They even cleaned up some messes I had left in the yard, and swept my back deck. I will definitely be calling Ira and his team at Sunlight Contracting for more work in the future!

[Member Name Removed], It was a pleasure doing business with you. So many homeowners are hesitant because they hear so many horror stories about contractors and they just don't know who they can trust. Just read the thousands of reviews Sunlight Contractors has on social media and you will understand why Sunlight is the contractor of choice. Remember always check with the Louisiana [Member Information Removed] Licensing Board of Contractors before you call any contractor. (LSLBC).

Ira and everyone at Sunlight Contractors were Fantastic. Needed insulation for my new built Home in Waveland MS. Contacted Sunlight Contractors along with 4 other spray foam contractors. After talking to Ira regarding my needs he convinced me I wanted Spray Foam throughout the house and the underside of the home (Elevated Home). I was running on a tight time schedule and he was able to get the work done on my schedule. The crew was on time and completed the interior of the home in one day. Cam back on Friday and did the underside of the home with in 3 hours. The Crew was very courteous and very knowledgeable of the process. Even ensured the bathroom vents were run to an area that would allow them to vent outside to keep the moisture out of the home. As far as how well the insulation will perform is yet to be seen doo to the Mini Split A/C system is not completed yet but I expect it to be fantastic. I would highly recommend Sunlight Contractors for any of your needs.

The whole experience of working with this company was a pleasure from the start. The technician who gave me an initial consultation was extremely knowledgeable and helped me wade through the pros and cons of different insulating materials. I ended up going with spray foam because of the price and overall effectiveness. When I was ready to schedule the insulation, Ira, the owner called me back the same day to schedule me so everything could progress smoothly in the process of renovating my home. His team took the time it was necessary to make sure the job was done right and cleaned up after themselves. It wasn't easy, some of the rooms only had partial walls, other's had drywall but required multiple cut outs to blow in the insulation because of the fire breaks. I can already hear and feel the difference. The insulation has created a sound barrier that makes me feel like I can be alone with my thoughts. My house is peaceful even without a stick of furniture to perch on. Next step: sheetrock!

My husband and I recently purchased a raised home. During the winter we experienced cold floors and high energy bills due to the subfloor not being insulated. We did research and learned spray foam would be the most effective insulation solution. Because it was a big project, we requested quotes from several companies. Sunlight Contractors was way better than any other company we talked to for several reasons. Ira, on the first phone call was very helpful and knowledgeable. Clayton came out and inspected our subfloor the very next day. He discovered very high and problematic moisture levels in our subfloor. I knew this was a serious issue because the previous owners disclosed they had mold removed prior to selling the home. Clayton and Ira explained the process Sunlight Contractors would use to eliminate the moisture, insulate the home, and guarantee we would never have a moisture problem again. No other company was able to make such a promise or provide a method to eliminate moisture, making it a no brainer to choose Sunlight Contractors. Everything was put in writing. When work began, the crew was on time or early every day. By far some of the best service from a contractor we ever received. After the Job was done, Clayton came by to make sure the job was complete and spray foam was applied to every nook and cranny. The month after the job was completed, we noticed a significant decrease in our utility bills as a result of HVAC not working as hard to maintain a comfortable temperature. We recommend Sunlight Contractors for all moisture remediation and spray foam insulation needs.

Moisture is the number one killer in Louisiana homes. Many problems from moisture arise from crawl spaces with high moisture. Always hire a Licensed contractor with the Louisiana State Licensing Board of contractors. Just Google search LSLBC find a contractor. Thank you SC for your trust and confidence with Sunlight.

Been a great experience thus far with Sunlight. My consultation and outlined plan by both the onsite crew and Ira were very helpful in deciding to go with Sunlight contractors. They were able to start the work quickly and in two days finished up the job. It was some tough work by the crew with three different attic spaces and some tight spaces, but everything looks in great shape and I'm looking forward to enjoying a cooled off upstairs.

Thank You MG. Your right, your job was very tough in those tight areas. What homeowners don't understand is that if you don't have a company who comes back and does inferred image testing then it's impossible to efficiently seal an attic envelope properly. Take some very experienced advise. We spray foamed over 30 million board feet of attic space. If you have several small breaks in the seal and it adds up to the size of a fist then you will have very little energy savings. Only do business with certified Master spray foam installers.

We researched and researched the idea of doing foam insulation in our home and ultimately decided to go with Sunlight Contractors. Our installation is wrapping up now and we are thrilled with the performance of Sunlight to date and feel great about our decision. Ira carefully guided us through the decision making process and put no pressure on us to move forward. I had a ton of questions and he answered each one honestly and with detail. Once we decided to move forward, we could not have been more impressed with the professionalism of the crews and how conscientious they are in performing the work. It's a big deal to come into someone's home and work in the attic for multiple days. We have not found one bit of debris in our home and the crews have communicated with us each and every day about every detail of their duties. Sunlight has taken every measure to ensure our home life is not interrupted....my kids and wife speak highly of the Sunlight team, Sunlight has utilized ventilation fans constantly to make sure we don't smell anything from the installation process, and at the end of the day, our house is exactly as we want it. In this day and age, to find true tradesmen who care about their work and you as the customer is extremely refreshing. We can't recommend Sunlight enough to anyone considering foam insulation....and if you haven't considered foam, you should. Thank you Ira and Sunlight Contractors!

Response from Sunlight Contractors
Mr. PF's attic was 7,900 square feet consisting of 3 different attics. You could have built 4 more bedrooms in the attic. The most challenging part of this project was to get deep into the spots that were inaccessible due to the installation of the duct work. Sunlight had to remove ducts from the plenum and had extra experienced hands helping. We removed 4,450 sq. feet of old dirty loose fill insulation so we could seal properly the top plates, eaves and soffits. There were so many open areas in the soffit area that if special detail was not performed the attic would have never been sealed properly. This is the 5th and final day of the project and [Member Name Removed] is one of the happiest homeowners Sunlight Contractors ever saw. BTW, [Member Name Removed] is an engineer and he researched 4- different companies for over 6-months before he decided to elect Sunlight. (Everyone knows the detail engineers perform before they commit). When you get a quote from a contractor it's not about price, it's about quality. If not the ventilation problems and the leaks they didn't catch can cause extensive moisture issues. Thank you P.F for trusting Sunlight Contractors with your prize possession.

I like Ira and his crew was very professional. Boy be ready for some heat when that dryer is working! The only reason its not a perfect review is that I removed the old insulation under my house as prep to save a little money, and I wish they'd told me that leaving the staples in would cause some weird foam behavior / missed spots. I would have pulled those all out beforehand.

Sunlight Contractors is, quite simply, the best home construction/home improvement I have ever dealt with. They were responsive, attentive, and highly skilled. When you would call them, they either always answer the phone or immediately returned your call. They did some home repairs regarding roof areas with rotting and shingles needing replacement. It was flawlessly executed. Thereafter Sunlight Contractors recommended a number of improvements to enhance the air quality in our home. As part of this, they installed foam installation in the attic and it was a game changer. Additionally, they were extremely knowledgeable about air quality, filtration systems, and everything to do with creating as clean an atmosphere inside the home. Their pricing was fair and competitive and I'd suggest them to anyone without qualification. 5 stars.

I am very impressed with the professionalism of this company. I called Ira for an inspection, he sent Clayton out the same day. Clayton showed up with a great attitude and gave us some photos and moisture readings. By that afternoon Ira had a quote and answered all my questions and concerns that I may have had. The next morning Ira and Clayton showed up with there workers and did a fantastic job from start to finish. Thanks Sunlight Contractors for helping me through this difficult situation.

For years, our termite contractor warned us about all of the old insulation in our crawl space that had been drooping and touching the ground. In crawling under the house myself to inspect and make a plumbing repair, I noticed that the wood on the subfloor and joists just looked wet. I could never find anyone willing to climb under the house to clean it up, so it sat like that for years. This year, I had to decide on a new termite contractor, but they refused to work with us until it was cleaned up. I hear so much about spray foam, so I decided to look it up. Sunlight Contractors had great reviews, so I decided to give them a call. Ira answered the call on a Saturday, and was eager for me to take moisture readings, so he could get an idea of the scope of the work. Unfortunately, the wood showed 23% moisture in some areas, with some visible mold growth, so it needed to be dried and cleaned before being sprayed. Ira sent Clayton out at my earliest convenience, and quoted me the same day. After a few discussions about treating the wood, I approved the work, and again, Clayton was out to get started the very next day. The crew came out, cleared all of the debris, laid a new moisture barrier and started the drying and remediation process. Ira communicated with me every day, even sending videos, photos, and moisture readings, which are now under 10%. They were never late, and never cancelled. The crawl space looks almost new now, and I can't wait for it to finish drying and have the foam installed. Thank you Sunlight, your 5 star rating is well deserved!

After having a full winter of cold floors and high energy bills in my newly purchased house I decided enough was enough and to get spray foam insulation. I contacted several companies for quotes. Sunlight Comtractors won my business for several reasons. They were very prompt in coming out to assess my home. When they came out for an estimate, Clayton discovered very high moisture levels under my home that needed to be remedied before spray foam could be applied. Clayton and Ira both explained and put in writing the approach that would be taken both to eliminate the moisture and insulate the subfloor. They promised I would never have a moisture problem again None of the other companies that I received quotes from had a legitimate method to solve the moisture problem. On top of that, Sunlight Contractors beat all of their insulation quotes. When it was time to start work, the crew was their well before the scheduled time ready to get started. I highly recommend Sunlight Contractors for their expertise and professionalism.

To all our readers. When choosing a spray foam contractor just go to Sprayfoam.org and you can find out if the company you are choosing are certified Master Spray Foam Contractors. So many companies have weatherization reviews and are not quality spray foam contractors. Just go to spray foam horror stories and you can see why it's imperative when hiring a spray foam contractor that their certified through the watchdog of our industry. Thank you LW.

Called Sunlight on Monday and to my surprise had Clayton come out that afternoon to give me a quote. I was not quite ready to do the job, I was going to remove ceiling sheetrock myself, but Ashley did a fantastic job keeping up with me for when my renovations were complete (which was over a month). I called on a Friday and let her know I was done and the very next Monday the team with Corey was here. They said they would be here by 9 am, but they were beyond punctual and was already starting around 8:30. All of the guys that were part of the spray team, even Clayton, Ashley and IRA were super friendly and showed an eagerness to get the job done right and that my satisfaction was guaranteed, and it was. From the first night, my attic was no longer drafty and did not match the 39 degree cold, it was closer to the 60s I would say. Super satisfied and I can't wait for summer to be able to spend time upstairs in my newly insulated attic/renovated room.

When applied correctly spray foam is a miracle product. We sprayed in open cell, Class A Fire Rated spray foam in the winter and this customers attic went from almost freezing to a comfortable 60 degrees plus. The reverse will happen in the summer and your HVAC system will cycle much less and keep your homes temperature very comfortable when applied correctly. Always do your due diligence and research before you call any company. Thank you PG...

Thank you [Member Name Removed], You should never trust anyone who can't give you 30-50 reviews of current customers they have completed. Homeowners expect a good quality job and certainly expect the cause of the problem to never come back. [Member Name Removed] had over 40 rotted floor joists and 4-6 beams that we repaired like new. Very few companies can guarantee in writing that you will never have cupping,buckling or swelling floors again. Sunlight Contractors has over 1800 reviews on social media and anyone can call any of our customers and see how Sunlight performed on their project. Thank you [Member Name Removed] it was a pleasure working with you and Smokey.

I purchased a home in February of 2018 and had a leaking cast iron pipe run water under my house for a few months before I started having issues in my kitchen. I completely rebuilt my kitchen but unfortunately no one at the time mentioned that I needed to do anything under the house. Fast forward a year and the floors in my living room started to buckle. A friend researched the best options and we ended up calling Ira with Sunlight Contractors. This company is beyond professional. They were always on time and always provided updates on where they were in the repair process. Ira recommended that we dry the underside of the house and then apply a closed-cell foam to avoid any future issues. We are beyond pleased with the job that Sunlight Contractors did with our job. I can already tell a difference of the noise level in the house and we haven't even replaced the floors yet. I highly recommend using Ira and Sunlight Contractors for your moisture issues under a pier house.

Thank you [Member Name Removed], A lot of our customers have had to replace their floors 3-4 times before they did their research and found us. So many times homeowners take wrong advice from contractors who don't have a clue how to repair the project from the cause of the problem. Moisture problems in Louisiana is a very serious problem and if not corrected properly will cause tremendous damage.

My girlfriend's house is on piers and had a moisture issue due to prior leaking cast iron pipe. We started noticing the wood floors bowing in the living room. I found Ira and Sunlight Contractors on Google and had him come out to take a look. From the first person that came to do an inspection until the last guy stopped by for cleanup his company is First Class! Ira recommended that we lay a moisture barrier and wrap the house and dry it out using a huge diesel heater. When we started the drying process her subfloors and floor joists were 30% to 40% moisture. After several days of running the heater we got the levels under 10% and 12%. Ira's crew then sprayed the entire under side of the house with closed-cell foam at an average of 2 inches under the entire area: covering subfloors, joists and brick/concrete columns. We aren't finished laying the floors, but I can already tell a noise difference with the floors. I can't wait to see the difference it will make in utility cost. Don't hesitate to use Sunlight Contractors. They are the Best in the business.

Response from Sunlight Contractors
Thank you [Member Name Removed], High Moisture content in your crawl space should be addressed immediately because to many time you let it go and it becomes a huge financial obligation in order to repair the cause properly. If you want to put a bandaid on your project and get the cheapest possible price you will pay dearly when you didn't solve the moisture issue and have to do the complete project over again. Do your due diligence and you will do the project correctly the first time.

A few weeks ago, my wife and I realized that we were having some buckling issues with the hardwood floors in our house. I knew that the house had crawlspace moisture issues in the past, and decided to have someone come out and have a look. Sunlight Contractors was my first call based on the strength of their online ratings and user reviews. I called them late one afternoon and one of their guys, Clayton, was out the next morning. Clayton went under the house and took moisture readings and found high levels of moisture in my crawlspace. He called the owner, Ira, on the phone and they both described to me what would be required to truly solve the problem: drying out the moist wood with a large indirect heater and spraying closed cell foam insulation once the drying was complete. They had a detailed quote out to me that same afternoon. Of course, I got a second opinion, and it became immediately apparent that no other company I spoke with had such a strong grasp on the fundamental problem, nor did they have such a thorough plan for a solution. It was clear that Sunlight was the right choice. Once they started the job, Ira and crew were in frequent contact with me, letting me know when they'd be coming by, sending me pictures of the moisture readings underneath the crawlspace, and just generally keeping me up to date with how things were progressing. All in all, the job took about a week and I'm very happy with the job that Sunlight performed. It's a huge relief to know that the underside of our house is properly insulated and protected from moisture. I'd recommend Sunlight without reservation to anyone that needs this kind of work done.

Sunlight Contractors did a great job! They were very responsive. They came right out after we asked for a quote, which we got back from them that afternoon. After we checked around and felt like they had the best price for the right work, we called them, and they came out the next day to get started. They were punctual over the next few days as they came out and completed the work. I would highly recommend them and would certainly use them in the future if needed.

Thank you RJ, Sunlight goes far beyond what the average insulation contractor would do. Just check all our reviews on line it might take you 6 months to read over 1700 reviews but there's a big difference when you hire Sunlight Contractors.

Communication is always important with any company doing work for you. Ira does an outstanding job with communication and everyone of his employees has been on time since the start of our project. His 5 star reviews across the web gave me the confidence that I chose the right company for my mobile home's sub floor moisture remediation and insulation needs. My home is 12 years old and in that time has been through a move, house fire, and flood. It was never put back together 100% and this has led to extremely high moisture levels in our sub floor, >50%. Ira has a proven method to get the moisture content down and to seal out moisture and insulate in a one stop shop. We have stayed on budget even when some rotted wood was found. He was quick to have his guys take care of it. Our floors are currently being dried out and we look forward to our completed project.

Response from Sunlight Contractors
This was another crawl space mold, high moisture remediation project. There were so many rotted plywood spots and mold all throughout this crawl space. In order to work under a pier and beam house in hostile conditions you need to have a crew of highly paid employees who have a lot of experience. Even then the job must be inspected by trusted third party contractors who you can trust. Transparency is the key to success when dealing with homeowners that can't get under their home and double check the work being done in progress. Just like a city inspector all work is inspected during each phase of the project. Just read our reviews and see why Sunlight Contractors is the best in the business. Thank you WM.

Thank you KS. This home had moisture on the wooden substrate in the crawl space which was over 45%. We remediated the moisture and heavy mold in the crawl space. Once the true moisture levels were below 10% we spray foamed with 2LB closed cell all the wooden members out to the sills .There will never be moisture coming from the crawl space buckling , swelling or cupping [Member Name Removed]'s floors again.

I bought an older house and had high-end solid wood flooring installed in five rooms. Within a few months the new flooring in the three downstairs rooms was badly cupped. We found that it was due to open cell spray foam under the subfloor allowing moisture through. I have had some bad experiences with contractors and tradesmen, so I spent a lot of time doing my own research on subfloor insulation and spray foam in particular. I learned a lot. To remove the open cell and install closed cell, I had proposals from multiple companies specializing in spray foam. Sunlight was the only one that gave detailed and accurate information on everything to be done. Ira talked to me at length about the problems and what they would do. Based on my research, I knew their proposal was the only one that included everything needed to do the job properly. Ira was eager to explain to me every aspect of the project and answered my questions in detail. The written proposal included line item details and a separate list of additional work that may be needed with the cost for each item. After removing the old open cell they found that the moisture content of the wood was too high and the entire underside of the house would have to be dried with a special dehumidifier. That was one of the additional expense item listed on the proposal and I fully expected that one to be the case. Our raised home is not properly ventilated. From my own research, I knew the maximum moisture level of wood for closed cell spray foam and had already measured it in a few spots I could get to. (You can buy your own meter at Lowes or Home Depot.) Pleasantly, Ira reported that none of the other possible conditions existed. While the job was in progress, the crew arrived right on time every morning. Ira was there to oversee and inspect as the work progressed. He offered to show me the results as different phases were in progress or completed. The job was completed a few weeks ago and I am more than satisfied with the result. Of the multiple proposals, Sunlight was the highest quote, however, through past experiences and research, I know theirs was the only one that was accurate, complete and the only one that I could accept. Now that the project is complete I know I made the only choice I would have been satisfied with in the end. I’ll have warmer floors in the winter, I know the moisture problems are resolved and I can begin the process of redoing the cupped flooring. Thank you Ira and everyone at Sunlight.
