If you're a GC doing residential builds or renovations, you've probably had this call: the homeowner moves in, gets their first heating bill, and wants to know what went wrong.

9 times out of 10, it's the insulation.

Here's what I see on job sites every week:

• Batt insulation installed with gaps — even a 2% gap in coverage can reduce thermal performance by 25%.

• No air sealing before insulating — insulation doesn't stop air movement. If you're not sealing penetrations first, you're insulating a sieve.

• Wrong R-value for the climate zone — code minimum isn't always enough, especially in attics and crawl spaces.

The fix isn't complicated. It starts with getting the right insulation sub who actually understands building science, not just the cheapest bid.

We do free site assessments for GCs. If you've got a project coming up and want a second opinion on the insulation spec, reach out. No pressure, no obligation.
