How to find the best insulation contractor in the Bay Area

It's time for you to find an insulation contractor for your insulation project. You open Google, Yelp, HomeAdvisor, or some other online resource and are overwhelmed with the number of insulation contractors serving the San Francisco Bay Area and Northern California.

With so many to choose from, how do you choose the right insulation contractor? In this article, we'll give you 3 qualities to look for in an insulation contractor so that you can find the best one for your insulation project.

1. Look for Good Reviews

In this day and age, who isn't looking at reviews? Although reviews can seem kind of biased (people will either really love or really dislike something enough to take their feelings online), it's still worth the time to read what other customers have said about the insulation contractor you are interested in working with.

Check the insulation contractor's reviews on Google and Yelp. Read what past customers have shared about their experience working with the insulation contractor, and make sure to focus on the more recent reviews from the past couple months to a year. You will most likely find a combination of good and bad reviews--customers who had good or bad experiences. Read what they had to say and assess for yourself if the "good reviews" outweigh the bad ones.

2. Assess their Communication

Contractors in the Bay Area and Northern California are super busy, which is why it is important for you to find an insulation contractor who will answer your calls and be available to talk to you and answer any questions you have. Especially if you are shopping around for quotes or asking for advise to figure out what type of insulation you need, you want to assess how easy it is to contact the contractor and how well they communicate with you, because that experience will give you an idea of how well they will communicate and work with you the day-of your job.

Locate the insulation contractor's website and contact them via phone or email. See how long it takes to get in touch with the insulation contractor. If you emailed them, how soon do they follow-up with you? If you call and it goes to voicemail, how soon do they call back? Give the insulation contractor 1 full business day to follow-up.

3. Assess their Experience and Knowledge

Especially if you are exploring spray foam insulation, you will want to make sure your insulation contractor has the right amount of experience and knowledge for the job. Spray foam insulation requires highly technical knowledge and must be applied with the right equipment, skills, and material in order to be installed correctly for maximum energy efficiency.

Ask your insulation contractor how much experience they have in the San Francisco Bay Area and Norther California. What kinds of buildings have they insulated and under what kinds of weather conditions? What kind of equipment do they have and what kind of insulation material would they recommend to you and why?

Takeaways

Whether you are investing in new insulation for your home improvement project or working on a new build with specific insulation requirements, you should take the time to find the best insulation contractor to ensure the job is done right. Do some online research, send an email or phone call, and ask questions to assess their experience and knowledge.
