Houle Insulation Inc

Insulation, Drywall, Energy Efficiency Auditing,

About us

For more than 30 years, Houle Insulation Inc., a Minnesota based insulation contractor, has been re-insulating homes in Minnesota just like yours. A better insulated home is more energy efficient, comfortable and quiet. It will save you money on utility bills for years to come. And, by using less energy to heat and cool your home, you reduce the negative impacts on the environment caused by energy use. Houle Insulation Inc. specializes in re-insulating existing homes; sidewalls, attics, bypass sealing and blower door testing in the state of Minnesota. Blowing cellulose insulation into your walls and floors, and sealing attic bypasses can reduce high heating and cooling bills, ice dams and drafty rooms. Some other problems homeowners are faced with are frost, mold and water damage to ceilings. The discomforts of a poorly insulated home are often wrongly blamed on furnace and air conditioning problems when the actual cause is the insulation or installation of the insulation. You could save significantly on your heating and cooling bills by having attic bypasses sealed and insulating your walls and attic to adequate levels.

Description of Work: Great customer service. Returned my calls/emails in a very timely manner. They cleaned up after themselves after they fully insulated my attic, and even sent in the rebate forms for me! Very happy with their service!

Description of Work: They stopped by Oct 14 to give an estimate to blow-in insulation into my garage attic. He said they were booked into December already. I decided to go ahead with the work and called a few days later to schedule. Since this was a smaller job, they said they could probably fit it in some afternoon before December. On November 16th they called and said they would be able to do the job that week, which was great. I wanted a roof vent added as well so they gained access to the garage attic through the new roof vent hole. This was great since they didn't have to cut a hole in my newly sheet-rocked garage. They were professional and quickly finished the job. I would recommend them.

Description of Work: Houle insulated the attic of our very old home. They climbed through the very small door to our attic and did the job how they said they would and when they said they would. And they prepped the house to prevent insulation from getting everywhere,e and cleaned up when they were through. All for a fair price.

Description of Work: After an Xcel energy audit we had insulation work done as recommended (peak attic, slant walls, small side attics, attic floors, sealed attic by-passes, 3rd floor vertical walls, patched the access holes and insulated two bay roofs, made a new attic access). Houle's owner came over promptly for a proposal, gave a competitive bid and showed up on time for the work. The crew was efficient and professional. The spaces were 95% cleaned up when they left upon completion of the job (it was a long day for them).

Description of Work: Houle spray insulated an isolated attic in my house. This area had been examined by several insulating people each with differing and unacceptable solutions. Houle provided an approach that made sense and works. Very pleased with all interactions with this contractor. Highly recommend this company and it's management

Description of Work: Houle is the best! I hired them to do attic insulation. Noticed some drafts after work was done so owner came out. He did an infra-red test that showed windows that need to be caulked. This test was done after I had paid them for the work. And it was free. His test showed a small tiny spot in attic that could be additionally sealed. He graciously offered to do it for free. He scheduled his crew to come out and they kindly did the work. Great clean up. Nice guys. Oh, during our initial consult options for insulating a three-season turned 4-season were clearly explained. I appreciated that!

Description of Work: Great people and a great experience. Thought I was looking at a several thousand dollar issue, but after spending an hour with us, Todd identified a $15 do it yourself solution to our cold air problem. Todd was on time, friendly, thorough, saved us a bunch of money and wouldn't take a dime for his troubles. Definitely an honest upfront contractor who cares about giving you what you need, not what he wants to sell.
