Cribbs Silver Creek Insulation

We can install foam, cellulose or fiberglass insulation in new homes. We do not blow cellulose behind the netting. We spray it open-faced directly into the cavity. (Shown above) This ensures that the density and R-value remains the same from the bottom to the very top. Also, the end product is flush with the stud which prevents bulging and possible nail pops. We strive to check all areas, including knee walls, to make sure it is installed correctly the first time. Many of these areas are no longer accessible once the sheetrock is installed so this is a very crucial step! 

Again, we blow fiberglass and cellulose in both new and existing homes. The recommended R-value for attic insulation in the Oklahoma area is at least an R-30 to R-38. If your attic has less than that (less than 8-10 inches), then you are likely spending more money than necessary on heating and air. Adding more insulation can lower your costs. The picture above shows an attic that is being recovered with cellulose. The cellulose prevents air from flowing between the attic space and the inside of your home. As a company, we only use cellulose brands that contain boron which creates a habitat that is not condusive to insects and mold. 

We can caulk windows and doors, replace your lightbulbs, change out door seals, sweeps, shoes and threshhold. Also, we can install switchplates and outlet gaskets, seal cracks on exterior of your home, replace air filters, etc. These may seem like minor changes, but they go a long way toward improving the energy efficiency of your home and lowering energy costs. Feel free to ask for a complete weatherization inspection to see how your home measures up! 

Before you move into your new home, give us a call! We can inspect your house to see how energy efficient it is and suggest areas that could use improvement. That way you will know exactly what you are getting in your new home! Also, we can inspect your home before you sell it so you can make the improvements and make your home more appealing. Or suggest to your future buyers some things they can do.

Basically, if you have insulation in your attic and you want it gone, we are the people to call! We can come and vacuum it all out. And, of course, we can put insulation back in it if you like.
