Attics Are Us

Insulation, Home inspection, Handyman Services,

About us

Our main goal is to save people money on their energy bills. If your home is 20 years old, odds are that's it's under insulated. Any money spent on upgrading the insulation in your attic is money well spent. In most cases the dollars that you spend will be recovered in 3 years or less through lower heating & cooling bills. In most older homes there are 3 things that we concentrate on. 1. The amount of insulation in the attic as well as the R-value of it. 2. Leaks in the HVAC system if it's in the attic. 3. Air leaks at the access to the attic, properly dealing with any recessed light that may not be IC ( insulation contact ) rated & around the chimney penetrations that may be in the home. Controlling air leakage can be costly at times but, moving air destroys the R-value which increase energy bills. We can also help the home owner with some of the storage problems they may have by building light shelving to get their stored items up off the attic floor so that more of the attic can be properly insulated. The second most important item we install next to Owens Corning's fiberglas L77 is the Attic Tent. Please check out the link on the home page. We are a father & son team. One or both of us will be at your job. Over 20 years of experience. Additional contact: Steve Slaughter

This is one of THEE best company’s I have had the pleasure to deal with. A fat and son team. Went beyond my expectations. Accommodated to my schedule and time. Came on the weekend, explained everything clearly as to hat they were going to do and what they were doing. Took care of my house like it was theirs. Also fixed my storm door on their way out because it was hung improperly. Would do business with them again.

I could not have been happier with Steve Slaughter and his son Jacob and helper. I especially liked the walkway and raised storage area that allowed for more insulation under those areas. Steve even replaced and wired a sealed led unit in my bathroom shower stall before they blew the insulation at no charge. They even fashioned a hand rail to make entering and exiting the attic easier. Thanks For a job well done! Jim Malek

This is a father/son operation. The father came out and provided an estimate. He is very knowledgeable about insulation and best approaches to make it effective. The son came out to do the work and he got it done effectively in the timeframe described. Our HVAC costs have declined as a result and my home office is more comfortable during the summer heat.

They were courteous and very professional. The job went much faster than we thought it would and they made sure we were satisfied before the left. We have already noticed a huge difference in the temperature in our house. We highly recommend Attics Are Us.
Description of Work: We had new blown insulation put in our attic (about 10 inches worth). The Slaughters also put in new attic storage shelves, built a cover for our attic fan, and installed new roof vents.

It wasn't perfect but it was quick. It seems to be working pretty well, our AC doesn't seem to be going on as much. They were here early. The clean up could have been better. There were a few bits of installation and they left a drop cloth. Very minor.

It was an excellent experience. They showed up on time, did an excellent job, and did what they said they were going to do. The estimate was very thorough and they found spaces in my attic that others did not see when I got other estimates. There price was very good and fair. I am very satisfied with the job they did. I would highly recommend them. The insulation they used was good quality. Since the work was done, my heating and cooling bill has gone down. During a recent power outage which lasted about 8 hours, where previously my house would get very uncomfortable, the house hardly changed temperature. It only went up a couple of degrees, the only change were the insulation in the attic so it must be working.

I contacted Attics Are Us late Saturday evening and received an email response the next day. An evaluation appointment was scheduled. Steve came on time and gave a thorough evaluation and made good recommends that should save on utility bills. On work day, care was taken to be as clean as possible and if any mess was made it was cleaned quickly by workers. All workers were mannerable and friendly and appeared to take pride in their work. They showed up on time for both jobs ... installing bathroom ceiling fans and attic work. Highly recommend!

Excellent. They were always on time and kept constant communication to let us know when to expect them. Their work was exceptional and they cleaned up everything when they left.
Description of Work: They came out initially to perform an inspection of the attic and ventilation. During the inspection, he was very thorough and answered all the questions we had. He made several recommendations which we agreed needed to be done. He also noted several vents that were not properly attached and we made those corrections ourselves as recommended. About a week later, we had them come back to do the following... increased insulation in attic area, foam insulation on all access panels, and reinforced the lock on one access panel to help seal out drafts.

Providers were courteous, professional, punctual, knowledgeable, provided sound advice. They went above and beyond agreed upon work. They provided a detailed estimate/bid by email the same day as the inspection. They performed each task that they said they would, by the deadline they self-imposed. I highly recommend this provider, will not hesitate to use them in the future and will recommend them to family and friends.
Description of Work: Inspection was pre-paid. Provider was then hired to do the following based on the results of the inspection: build insulated frame around ceiling fan, installed insulated tent around pull-down staircase to attic, built platform above insulation to allow storage in the attic, packed eves as needed, blew in insulation that increased R-value of attic insulation from approximately R-15 to R-38. The provider also took care of some unrelated "handy-man" tasks (i.e., trimmed door that was sticking, installed deadbolt)

The original inspection was very helpful and I got a number of tips relating to the energy efficiency of the house. The attic had practically no insulation at all, having been used for storage, and insulating it made an obvious difference during cold nights. Steve and Jacob were a pleasure to deal with, and I would use them again.
Description of Work: Insulated attic, part of which required a one time opening, removed objects from attic, stabilized the attic stairs, added a tent above the staircase opening, removed the attic fan in the ceiling.

Purchased the special deal for Attic inspection. Inspection was completed in a very timely manner and I was given an estimate. I scheduled the work about 3 weeks after the inspection, and they came right when they said they would. This is a father and son team, and they are very nice people who take the time to explain to you what they are doing and why. They didn't exactly have the easiest time getting around in my attic since it has such a limited space (you can't stand up), but they never complained and did a great job. They started and finished right when they said they would. I had zero insulation in my attic, and I could tell a HUGE difference right away. If you are considering an insulation job, I highly recommend these gentlemen. Very professional, very courteous, and worth the money.

Steve and Jacob Slaughter, a father-son team operate and own this business. Steve came out to do the estimate and offered several useful suggestions to help us save energy throughout our home. One of the suggestions that I had not thought of was enhancing the insulation in the area of the attic that had a plywood floor with very little insulation underneath. He proposed building a 10" raised platform over this floor for storage and then blowing in insulation underneath that. He worked with me to come up with a plan that addressed my concerns about ease of access and headroom in this area. His estimate also included installing an attic tent to seal off airflow at the attic access stairs and bringing up the insulation level throughout the attic to at least an R39 value. (I was seeking this work after an SCE&G energy audit identified insulation deficiencies in the attic.) After I accepted their quote, Steve came out to build the platforms and install the attic tent. A couple of days later Jacob came out to blow in the insulation. In both cases, the Slaughters showed up on time and completed the work to my complete satisfaction. I would recommend Attics Are Us to address any attic insulation concerns. They are professional, helpful, competent, and just a pleasure to work with.
Description of Work: Provided and installed attic access tent. Built platforms and a shelf in attic storage area. Added insulation under those platforms and blew in insulation in rest of attic to bring up R value to at least R39.

Response from Attics Are Us
I received your message on 1-5-2016. I respond and requested a contact number which I received on 1-5-2016. I made a note on work pad to call you on 1-6-2016. The night of 1-5-2016 we found my mother in law dead on her bedroom floor. We were there until after 10:00 that evening. The next day 1-6-2016 I was busy with family and every thing that was needed to be done. I forgot to call you. By Friday evening 1-8-2016, when the funeral was complete we buried her out of town. I received a notice from you through Angie's List to refund your $49.00. Early the morning of 1-9-2016 I texted you so that I could explain. I also sent a message through Angie's List in hopes you would call me. Later on 1-9-2016 you texted me back and said that you were sorry to hear, but that you still wanted the refund. You have stated that you tried to contact me several times, however I've gone through my phone, texts, e-mails and message board on Angie's List. I have no record of any contact from you. I'm in a 803 area code and your phone is 917 area code, it would be easy to spot. I'm sorry for the mix up and would like to resolve this. If at a later date you decide to try again, please call me 803-424-8950

Hello: Mr. Steve and his son Jacob came out today and insulated the roof and it was a very terrific experience.It was really almost no dust and this is an old attic and they were very vice,professional and informative as to what they were doing. I also really liked the son and father bond which made it so much more peaceful as they worked together. They were concerned enough to wrap the hose and put down covering so that they did not damage the corners of the walls,etc. Special thanks also as they really worked with me because i put a board so that if their are rodents up there it would help block them and they stepped over it and did not complain one time,but i did try to move them as much as possible,but it was still great that they respected the home and the occupants enough to try to help keep possible rodents from getting in from the open floor attic doors. You never seen them outside blowing second hand smoke on us or cursing,etc. they were people who I would like to have do work around the home we reside.Thank you all for your service and I would highly recommend them for your attic insulation work. Services were performed in richland county,but not in the zip code of 29210. I do not want to give my personal information out ,but the work was completed and this is the truth. Gilbert

The father came out and was very professional.He also held the ladder and helped me get up and down off the roof and was right there on it the whole time.He even told me when to stop as i was getting to close to stepping off the roof. He installed a few openings to the attic and foamed around the area by the ac work that would help stop intrusion of unwanted pests/rodents. He was a very pleasant man and very prompt. The next step is to meet his son and hope it will be as pleasant as the meeting of the father. Thanks,Gilbert
