Use this guide to decide whether insulation work fits your concern and prepare a clear request for a contractor. If you’re unsure which type of home service to contact, start with Home Services.

When insulation may be the right service

Insulation work may fit if you want existing insulation assessed, added, or replaced. If you’re concerned about a draft, moisture, or a room that feels different from others, describe what you’ve noticed and ask whether it’s within the contractor’s scope. Don’t assume insulation is the cause.

Clarify what an assessment includes

Before scheduling, ask how the company will assess the areas you identify, what access they’ll need, and how they’ll explain their recommendations. Confirm whether the visit includes a written scope or estimate, and whether any additional inspection is separate.

Questions to ask about the work

Ask questions that pin down the proposed insulation work and what it involves.

  • Which areas will you work on, and what insulation material do you propose?
  • Does the scope include removing existing insulation, or only adding or replacing it?
  • What preparation, access, and cleanup should I expect?
  • What work is excluded, and how will you handle anything unexpected?
  • Will I receive the agreed scope in writing before work begins?

Compare the proposed scope, not just the recommendation

Look for a written proposal that names the areas and work involved, explains the material being proposed, and states what is excluded. Ask the company to explain anything unclear, including how it reached its recommendation. Check its relevant qualifications and ask how changes to the agreed scope will be approved.

Prepare a clear request

Before contacting a company, note the rooms or areas you want assessed, what you’ve observed, and any known history of insulation work. Mention access limits and ask for the proposed work and exclusions in writing before you agree to proceed.
