Insulation work, attic to crawl space

Insulation contractor in Mount Pleasant SC, attic to crawl space

E&F Mount Pleasant Spray Foam Insulation is an insulation contractor in Mount Pleasant, SC, for houses with a hot room upstairs, a drafty hallway or an attic nobody has looked at in years. Our 16 services run from the attic down to the crawl space. The price turns mostly on how much space needs covering, what's already up there, whether old material has to come out first and whether foam or blown-in suits your house. The schedule depends on those same things, plus how many gaps need sealing before we insulate. I look the house over in person and give you a free estimate that explains what I found and what I'd suggest.

  1. Spray foam insulation

    Spray foam expands into every crack as it goes on, so it insulates and seals air in one pass. We spray it in attics, walls and crawl spaces.

  2. Attic insulation

    Hot upstairs all summer? Usually the attic is short on insulation or full of open gaps, and we seal the gaps before adding more.

  3. Blown-in insulation

    Blown-in insulation is loose fill blown through a hose across the attic floor, and it's often the simplest way to add to what's already there.

  4. Home insulation

    For a house that feels drafty or uneven from room to room, we look at the attic, walls and floors together and fix the weakest spots first.

  5. Insulation removal

    When old insulation is soaked, matted or full of droppings, we vacuum it out and clean the attic so new material doesn't go down over the problem.

  6. Crawl space insulation

    Cold floors in winter often trace back to a bare crawl space, so we insulate under the floor and seal the openings to keep the rooms above warmer.

  7. Wall insulation

    Can you insulate walls without tearing them open? Usually, yes. We fill closed walls through small holes, or insulate open framing during a remodel.

  8. Air sealing services

    Air sealing means closing the gaps around pipes, wires, ducts and outlets before insulating, so the insulation isn't fighting a steady draft through the house.

  9. Basement insulation

    We insulate basement walls and the rim joist, the wood band resting on the foundation, so a lower-level room is easier to keep comfortable year round.

  10. Closed-cell foam insulation

    Closed-cell foam is dense foam that also blocks moisture, which makes it the right pick for crawl spaces, rim joists and other spots that see damp.

  11. Open-cell foam insulation

    Open-cell foam is softer and lighter, and it seals air well under a roof deck or inside walls where moisture isn't a concern. It usually costs less than closed-cell.

  12. Commercial insulation

    We insulate offices, shops and small commercial buildings, and we plan the work around your hours so the business can keep running while we're there.

  13. Crawl space vapor barrier

    A crawl space vapor barrier is heavy plastic laid over the ground and up the walls, so damp from the soil stays out of your floor framing.

  14. Vapor barrier installation

    Where should a vapor barrier go? That depends on the space, and we install it where it keeps moisture out of the framing instead of trapping it inside.

  15. Attic air sealing

    Before attic insulation goes down, we seal around can lights, plumbing vents, wire holes and the hatch from above, so house air stops leaking into the attic.

  16. Retrofit insulation

    Retrofit insulation adds to a finished house without a remodel, topping up attics and filling closed walls in older homes that were built with less.

How a job goes, from first call to walkthrough

  1. You call or write to us

    Call (843) 416-5007 or send the form, and we reply within one business day to set up a visit. It helps to tell us what you've noticed, such as a hot room upstairs, cold floors or a power bill that keeps climbing, and roughly how old the house is, so I know where to look first.

  2. I look over the house and explain what I found

    I come out myself and look over the attic, crawl space or walls, checking how many inches are already there and watching for water, old wiring or fuel-burning appliances. After a few questions about the house, I give you a free estimate with no obligation and explain what I found and what I'd suggest.

  3. We do the work and walk you through it

    If you'd like to go ahead, we check with the building office for your address about what the job needs. Our crew protects your home while we work, and before we leave I walk you through the finished job so you know what we did and why.

Why homeowners call us, and what we do differently

If a room or an attic has you wondering, send us a few details or call (843) 416-5007.

  1. We look before we add anything

    Before any new insulation goes in, we check for soaked or droppings-filled material, unsealed gaps around can lights and pipes, and eave vents that have been buried. Laying fresh insulation over any of those only hides the problem, so we deal with it first.

  2. One person you can ask, start to finish

    You won't be passed from a salesperson to a scheduler to someone new. I'm the one who sees your house first and the one who checks the crew's work, so your questions go to someone who has actually been in your attic.

  3. Extra care in a house you live in

    Our crew started out insulating new houses, where nobody was living yet. In yours we cover the floors on the way to the attic and keep dust out of the rooms you use every day.

  4. An honest answer when a smaller job will do

    If sealing a few gaps and adding to what's already there will fix the hot room, that's what I'll recommend. You'll hear plainly which option suits your house, even when it's the less expensive one.

Questions Mount Pleasant homeowners ask about insulation

How much does insulation cost for a house in Mount Pleasant SC?

The cost depends on how much space needs covering, which material suits the house and whether old insulation has to come out first, so I give you a figure after seeing it. Removal, sealing gaps around lights and pipes, and a tight attic opening all add time and cost. The estimate is free and done on site.

Is spray foam worth the extra cost over blown-in insulation?

Usually not for a standard attic, where sealing the gaps and topping up loose fill does the job for less. Foam costs more but seals air while it insulates, so it earns its price when your ductwork runs through the attic. I'll tell you which one suits your house at the estimate.

How long will the insulation crew be in my attic, and do we have to leave the house?

It depends on the size of the attic and how much sealing and cleanup comes first, and I'll talk it through with you at the estimate visit. For blown-in work you can usually stay home. With spray foam, you, the kids and the pets stay out until the re-entry time, the wait the foam maker sets before anyone comes back in, and I'll tell you that time for the product we use.

Does an insulation contractor need a license in South Carolina?

Yes, residential and specialty contractors in South Carolina need a current state license or registration, and the Town of Mount Pleasant checks contractor licenses with the state's Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation. Any contractor working in the Town also needs a Town business license. Ask any contractor you're considering about both before you sign.

Do I need a permit to insulate my house in Mount Pleasant?

That depends on the job, so we check with the building office for your address before work starts, whether that's the Town of Mount Pleasant, another city or the county. The Town's general rule is that work valued at $1,000 or less in materials and labor needs no building permit unless an inspection is required, though site plan approval can still apply. If your job does need a permit, we take care of the application and keep you informed.

Do you guarantee your insulation work?

Yes, our work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee. Before we call a job done, I check it over with you, looking at coverage along the edges and around the hatch, so you see what we did and why.

How do I know if my attic needs more insulation?

If you can see the tops of the ceiling joists, the wood framing across the attic floor, there usually isn't enough insulation up there. Measure how many inches there are in a few places, because coverage is often deep in the middle and thin along the edges, which is backward. I check both at the estimate, along with any dampness or droppings.

Do I need historic district approval to insulate a house in Mount Pleasant's Old Village?

It depends on whether the work changes the outside of the house, because the Town's Historic District Preservation Commission reviews all exterior changes in the Old Village district and approves them before work begins. Most insulation goes in from the attic or crawl space, and if a job would touch the exterior, we check with the Town before we start.

Insulating homes around Mount Pleasant

Mount Pleasant sits along Charleston Harbor and Shem Creek, and a lot of life here happens near the water. Memorial Waterfront Park at the base of the Ravenel Bridge is where many people picnic on the lawn and take in the harbor from the pier, and Shem Creek Park has fishing and a walking trail.

The Old Village holds the Town's historic district, and newer neighborhoods spread out from there. The Town deals with both local flooding from blocked drainage and storm surge from tropical storms, so we pay close attention to crawl spaces and anything that has gotten wet, whether your house is in the Old Village or a newer part of Mount Pleasant.
