Attic insulation--great price, great service

I recently had a very good experience with Tropical. I called a number of other companies for quotes to add to the blow-in insulation that I already had, and they all charged a minimum of $1000 plus tax regardless of the square footage of my attic (about 500 square feet). Tropical, however, gave me a much lower price ($700 plus tax) based on the size of my house.

What really sold me, besides the price, was the consultation. Gary was very thorough and polite when he came to inspect my house. I made him aware that I wanted my attic done as part of the Enbridge rebate. Gary double-checked his measurements to make sure that this job would qualify for the rebate, and he had me double-check with the energy auditor. It's all going to work out, but it was nice that Gary didn't just simply book the job without making sure that it was exactly what I wanted.

The work was done today. The Tropical team was on time, courteous, and clean, and now I have R-60 in my attic before winter comes. Great! I would definitely recommend Tropical.

Gary was the only agent that provided a thourough and detailed quote. Pricing was fair and he also provided several recommendations. When the Tropical Insulation team arrived on site, they were professional, on time and kept the home clean. Pictures were provided showing the work done once completed. Very satisfied with their service and would highly recommend.

Attic insulation upgrade

A very satisfying experience: a fast response to our request for assessment; a thorough and professional inspection; a fair and reasonable quote; and a quick follow through to complete the job. The the work was done very well, with care to not damage the work area and a full clean-up afterward, plus a review of what was done, accompanied by pictures.

Attic insulation upgrade

The whole process was extremely smooth. The staff and installers were very friendly. The actual install was awesome because the crew was punctual and worked very efficiently. If you have to get your attic insulated... I would definitely recommend these guys! Already feeling the AC much more within hours on the top floor!

Thorough and knowledgeable

At first, I had not seriously considered using cellulose as a solution, but Gary followed up and took the opportunity to provide his point of view after doing a very thorough investigation of the attic. He asked questions and assembled a recommendation. No other insulator who visited did this and it was impressive. He won me over and we went ahead. The staff showed up right on time. They were Tropical employees and not sub-contractors, very friendly, courteous and fast. Whole job done in 1.5 hrs for approximately 1000 sq feet. Showed me after photos when the job was done and walked me through the work completed. Images were then supplied next day. Temperatures up stairs on the hottest day of the year dropped by 4 degrees C. I was blown away. At night the temperatures for upstairs and down stairs are the same! This was the best money I ever invested into my home in years. I can’t recommend them enough.

Attic cellulose insulation

I have nothing but good words for Tropical Insulations, Inc. From the time I submitted a service request to Home Stars, the company has been very attentive. Gary, their estimator is very professional in his dealings. He's detail oriented and methodical. I was given a very quick installation schedule and they accommodated my preferred date. The 2 installers did an excellent job in ensuring the contract details are addressed. Allan, the person who put on plastic covering on my floor all the way to the room where the attic hatch is located is very conscientious and meticulous. I have never encountered a crew that does a very clean job. They started and completed the work on time. I will surely recommend this company to friends. Please keep up the good work and take care of your employees as they are the reason people like me would hire companies like you.

Attic insulation

I've recently had a great experience with this company.

I requested a quote via homestars and within the week met with an estimator, Gary. He gave me a very detailed quote and also suggested some improvements I could do myself. A week after I signed the contract the installers came and quickly and tidily did the job.

I'm thrilled; my second floor is no longer a sauna by the end of a hot day.
