Attic insulation removal and blow in - Main floor attic insulation vacuumed out and re-insulated. Added vapour barrier to side wall. Added baffles.

The guys who did the vacuum were great and answered all of my questions. They let me know when they were done and I checked out the job. The guys that came for the blow in were also good and did a good job. Thank you for adding a new and improved bathroom vent and securing it to an existing roof vent instead of running it to the soffit. Nice job securing insulation to the hatch which I did not have previously. Some constructive criticism (but I'm not complaining): 1) Blow in team did not let me know when they were finished. I would have liked to check out the work and ask some questions. 2) Garage (where attic hatch is located) had insulation on the floor. Clean up could have been improved.

Question: R60 = 16inches of insulation per the label left inside the hatch. I measured 16in shortly after the guys left. But won't that sink after 24hours?

Hi Dan,
I am glad you are happy with the work the guys did in your home and I appreciate the feedback. I will be sure to pass it along to our guys. We are always aiming to improve. I'm sorry that the clean up was not done as well as you expected.
The insulation will settles over time but it is not over 24 hours, typically we like to install 10% extra so that when it does settle, it settles to the desired 16". I will be sure to send someone out to you to make sure that you are taken care.
We appreciate your business and if you have any other questions or concerns don't hesitate and give us a call at the office 519-886-6100.

New attic and crawl space insulation

On our recently purchased home, we knew we needed insulation, but how little we actually had was unknown. Less than 3" throughout the attic and some areas missing altogether. We called in three companies for quotes and went with the friendliest, most helpful and knowledgeable of the three. Also, the middle of the three as pricing goes.
Bryan came out for the initial inspection and quote. He quickly noted the lack of insulation, the areas missing and that the bathroom was not exhausted correctly. With thermal imagery we saw a great deal of heat entering the breezeway wall and cool coming in the crawlspace.

We hired Reitzel as soon as possible and had them fix it all up. The "Joshes" arrived on time, explained the process to spray the crawl space and the ensure we had the 24 hour rule understood. A couple hours after completion, team 2 showed up to blow in the attic and breezeway.

Both teams were professional, polite and cleaned up any mess behind them. We had an energy audit done prior to the insulation added and see the improvement.
They also handled everything to ensure we received our rebates from the government.
Thank you!

Home insulation

This January I got a heating bill considerably more than I had been paying in another house twice the size. My new home is 43 years old and hadn’t had the insulation up dated since it was built.
Reitzel’s came over did an estimate and completed the job within one week. A good job, done well and the house left clean. My thanks.

Attic insulation

The guys did a great job insulating my attic and explaining all of the work that they were completing! They were very friendly!
I know it's a tough, messy job, but it would have been nice if they could have left my home in the same state it was in when they arrived.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for using Reitzel Insulation. Glad to hear your experience was a positive one.

We're sorry your house was not left in the same state that it was when they arrived. We've recently claimed our listing on Homestars so we can see and respond to concerns like yours in the future.

We hope this won't sway you from choosing Reitzels again. There are great incentives out now for upgrading your exterior wall and basement insulation. We recommend visiting greenon.ca if you are considering additional upgrades.

Have a great day. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you need further services.

Cheers!

Basement insulation

I recently had my basement spray foamed. And further, the mould in the attic taken care of, and they were able to vent the bathroom vent directly to the outside and add additional soffit channels. I was very impressed with the workers and their workmanship! They arrived an hour early, they were friendly, efficient, and clean. Great job! I would highly recommend! I will use them in the future renovations! Nikki

Attic Insulation

Bob Lambo was the Reitzel representative that came to our home to give us an estimate on upgrading our attic insulation. He was informative, professional and very friendly. He answered all of our questions thoroughly and gave us information that we hadn't even thought about. The quote we received was very competitive compared to other companies we dealt with. The two gentlemen who came to complete the work were punctual, efficient and friendly and explained what they were doing. They used drop sheets and kept the job as clean as possible. We were very satisfied with the work completed and are glad we chose Reitzel for the job. We would highly recommend to anyone.

Spray Foam Barrier & Cellulose Attic Insulation

Reitzel Insulation is a grade A company with many years of experience. A knowledgeable sales team combined with good installers. I had a difficult older attic to insulate and the foam truck crew worked magic. They created a great solid foam vapor barrier despite the cramped conditions and difficult access. The cellulose insulation job met basic expectations. My renovated attic is proof of quality workmanship.

Attic Insulation

My experience with Reitzel insulation was nothing less than perfect. Bob Lambo was great. He stopped by our place and gave the low down on attic insulation, but didn't stop there. He gave us so many tips on increasing the energy efficiency of our house that I had to get a pen and paper. The guys who came to install (Jason and Mike) were courteous, efficient and knowledgeable. I'm glad I dealt with a reputable company like Reitzel for this project.
