"BioGuard is great! I was hearing rodents in attic. My previous pest control company told me I had mice. They were never, in 8+ years, able to get rid of them. I finally called BioGuard. Carlos did thorough inspection of the attic and told me I had roof rats and American cockroaches. I signed a contract on Saturday. On Monday two workers cleaned and disinfected the attic, closed entry points and added insulation. I haven't heard rodents since! They also replaced loose foundation vents. They were very professional; cleaned up when they finished. Carlos came back two days later to inspect, treat for the roaches and inspect the encapsulated crawl space - going above and beyond the contracted work. The air quality has improved; breathing is easier (I'm allergic to cockroaches) and it's great not to hear those scurrying and gnawing noises in my ceiling and walls. I will have them come back to add insulation under the house and replace my crawl space dehumidifier. I've canceled my contract with Orkin. BioGuard is much better and costs less!"

"My reinsulation experience was Ridge Remodeling was fantastic from the beginning. Sam took his time on the first visit to explain what they would do, options, and what was the best course of action. I felt comfortable with his recommendations, and later estimates by others did not measure up to what i expected. The crew arrived on time and was professional. They noticed several small things that needed to be corrected and did so after notifying me. These werent visible until the old insulation was removed. The crew of 3 noticed that i would have a significant step down from the raised floor (so we could get an appropriate amount of insulation) and built several steps for me at their insistence. They even went so far as to remove an old tv from the attic that i could not lift. Extremely happy with the end finished result, only sorry i didnt do it earlier. They returned all the work areas to pristine conditions, better than they found them. Highly recommended. Will definitely use them for other projects"

"They did a great job. Had a small bump in the road at first, but they bent over backwards to make everything right. Matt is great and followed up every step if the way. I love my new attic storage and finally have decent insulation!!! And the guy who patched the ceiling wasn't horrible to look at, so that's always a plus!! :) They were really great about cleaning up and gave me some awesome tips for some DIY stuff I wanted to do. I tried to stay out of the way, but couldn't resist asking a couple of questions here and there so I wouldn't completely screw up my house when I got brave and decided to do something myself!! Would definitely recommend them and will call them again when I have another big project that I need done."

Areas Of Expertise: Pest Control
"I called Hawk Mosquito & Pest control on a Saturday morning to take down give wasp nests. Robert quoted a great price over the phone and told me they would be there in 40 minutes. He made it in 30. Robert not only removed the wasp nests but while he was on my roof, he reattached my gutter that was loose. I will be using his company again.I will recommend him to all my friends."

Frequently Asked Questions
What is insulation?
+
What is insulation?
Insulation is material that provides a barrier within a home’s walls, ceilings, and floors to regulate temperature and noise. If your home gets overly hot in the summer and cold in the winter, it’s likely not insulated properly.
Insulation efficiency is measured by R-value, which determines how resistant different types of insulation are to heat flow (or energy loss). R-values are measured by inch of thickness. The higher the R-value, the better the performance and the higher the price.
How much does insulation cost?
+
How much does insulation cost?
Our project data lists insulation costs between $1,400 and $6,300, but your final price will depend on the type of insulation you choose, its R-value, and how much you need.
- Fiberglass insulation: $0.30 – $1.50
- Blown-in insulation: $1 – $2
- Spray foam insulation: $0.50 – $2
- Radiant insulation: $0.20 – $1
- Rigid board insulation: $0.25 – $1
Luckily, insulation is one of the best investments you can make in your home—it has an ROI of at least 100%, meaning you’ll likely make back what you spend in a few years or so.
What is insulation made of?
+
What is insulation made of?
Insulation is made of many different materials, which can also impact the R-value needed for energy efficiency.
- Fiberglass: The most common insulation material made from glass. Fiberglass is a skin and lung irritant, so you’ll need to wear gloves and clothing when working with fiberglass insulation.
- Cellulose: Made from recycled paper products, plus borate for fire and insect resistance.
- Foam: Made from polystyrene, polyisocyanurate, or polyurethane plastic. You can also install cement-based foam insulation using rigid foam boards.
- Mineral wool: Made of fire-resistant rock wool, a mix of natural materials, or slag wool, made from a molten metal product.
- Natural fibers: Made from various recycled natural materials, including cotton, sheep’s wool, and straw.
Where is insulation in a house?
+
Where is insulation in a house?
If your attic is unfinished or you’ve ever demolished an interior wall, you might notice batt or spray foam insulation between the studs. Putting insulation between your walls and floors helps keep your home comfortable and your energy costs down. In addition to walls and attics, you can install insulation in your garage, in floors above vented crawl spaces, and basements.
- Garage Insulation: $0.50 to $1.25 per square foot
- Floor and crawl space insulation: $1 to $5 per square foot
- Basement insulation: $1.50 to $2.50 per square foot
- Wall insulation: $1 to $4 per square foot
- Attic insulation: $1,500 to $6,000
- Roof insulation: $1,500 to $4,500 or more
What are the different types of insulation?
+
What are the different types of insulation?
There are a few types of home insulation, and they all are made of different materials— most commonly, fiberglass, cellulose, and foam. Insulation includes these materials in the following forms:
- Loose-fill: Also called “blown-in,” loose-fill is sprayed into wall cavities, attics, and other oddly-shaped areas using special equipment. This insulation is usually made of fiberglass, cellulose, or mineral wool.
- Batts: An affordable insulation blanket best for unfinished spaces, such as between framing, studs, or joists. They come in pre-cut sections suitable for DIY installation and are mostly made from fiberglass, though other versions are also available.
- Rolls: Similar to batt insulation, but comes in rolls. Its make-up leaves less chance for gaps between sections and is more efficient than other types.
- Foam board: One of the most popular insulation types that can be used almost anywhere in your home. Foam boards also have a high R-value.
- Spray foam: Expands and hardens to fill gaps, small and large. Can be closed-cell or open-cell, but closed-cell has a higher R-value, making it more expensive per square foot.
- Radiant barriers: Does not reduce heat flow but directs heat away from the home instead. Radiant barriers are DIY-friendly and affordable, but they won’t be as effective in the winter months.
