If you've found this article, you have a brand-new home to insulate. You've already done your research on available insulation options and have settled on the products you want. One of the insulations you've selected is spray foam. Now, you have to find a contractor to install the insulation for your new house.
South Central Services offers new construction insulation for our entire service area, which includes southern Pennsylvania and the neighboring counties in Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia. Our team has insulated hundreds of homes with spray foam. Consider working with us if your new home is being constructed within our service area.
Let's explore the top six reasons you should choose South Central Services to insulate your new home.
1. Your Whole Insulation Package Can Be Taken Care Of.
South Central Services can handle the entire insulation package for your new home. From the foundation to the attic, our crew can insulate the whole thermal envelope of the building. We can also insulate interior walls and in-between floors.
We prefer to handle the whole insulation package because we are solely responsible for the results. When our crew insulates a home from top to bottom, we can ensure the house has an airtight seal.
2. The Job Site Will Be Cleaner Than You Left It.
Whether you're the homeowner who drops by to see the progress or the general contractor of this job, you can trust that the space will be respected. We take great care in prepping for and cleaning up after our work. When leaving reviews of our work, our customers often mention our cleanliness.
Many homes have completed elements at the job site that must be protected from overspray. When we arrive to spray, windows and doors are often already installed.
Our crew covers these elements to protect them from overspray. We remove these covers before leaving the site.
3. Your Home Will Pass A Blower Door Test.
If we are responsible for the whole insulation package, your home will be airtight and pass a blower door test. A blower door test measures the air exchanges per hour (ACH) in a home. When a home is insulated with spray foam, the ACH will be quite low due to the airtight seal. A blower door test is a measure of a home's energy efficiency and a reflection of the quality of insulation installed.
Not every spray foam insulation contractor can guarantee a blower door test. Our team at South Central Services understands the building science behind an airtight seal and will insulate every area of your home that could experience air leakage.
4. Your Home Will Be Code-Compliant.
Every new home needs to meet building codes. Building codes can vary by state. Our team will ensure that your insulation is code-compliant.
For example, you will need insulation in your basement. You will have the choice between wall insulation and ceiling insulation. You do not have to pay to have both areas insulated. However, you will have to choose between one of the two.
Your attic is another area that must be insulated to meet code requirements. You can insulate the floor or the walls of the attic. Our team can create either a vented or unvented attic, but some surface of the attic must be insulated for energy efficiency.
5. Your Insulation Will Be Insured.
We stand behind our work. If anything were to go wrong, you could call us, and we'd take responsibility for fixing it. You will not have to clean up after us or correct any mistakes we make. We take the quality of our work seriously.
We are also insured. If your insulation fails as a result of our installation, we will replace that insulation at no cost to you. South Central Services has never had a complete installation failure, but our work is insured regardless.
6. Your Crew Will Understand Your Home Holistically.
Insulating a home is about more than just choosing the most budget-friendly or the best insulation product available. A house is a unique structure that has many considerations. Building materials, home design, and how heat travels all influence what insulations are best for your home.
South Central Services understands the building science behind your house and will make recommendations for your insulation accordingly. We always aim to create a personalized insulation package that makes sense for the project. You need insulation that will function for years to come, and we want to provide that for you.
