What Our Customers Say

★★★★★
THEY DID A GOOD JOB AND I THOUGHT THE PRICE WAS REASONABLE.
Norman D.· Angi
★★★★★
I worked with Kevin Con, their field specialist. Kevin talked to me over the phone for quite awhile to make sure that I had a good estimate and knowledge of the procedure. The team came out early and they were efficient in the processes. I would highly recommend them especially because they worked so closely with our roofing team to get the job done in one day.
Raymond F.· Angi
★★★★★
I am just so happy. They came out on a Tuesday (the owner Steve and his son) and took a look and had a crew of 2 out for me the next day! They got there at 8:30 am and all was completed by 2:00. The follow up was excellent. I could just go on and on. I am very impressed and want to insulate everything NOW because they were so excellent!

Common Question in Lexington

Is it too late to add insulation to my house

You can add insulation to any house in Lexington, whether it's a 1980s ranch in Chevy Chase or a pre-war home downtown. Older houses actually see the biggest energy savings because they often have minimal wall insulation and outdated attic coverage. Blown-in insulation fits into existing walls without major construction, and most homeowners recover their investment through lower utility bills within four years.

Trusted by Government Agencies, Universities & Major Corporations

Most homes in Lexington were built between the 1940s and 1980s, which means asbestos in pipe insulation, floor tiles, and boiler wrapping. If you live in Chevy Chase or anywhere near downtown, you've probably got asbestos mastic under those kitchen tiles or wrapped around the furnace pipes in your basement. The University of Kentucky campus runs on steam systems from the same era. When you need that material out safely, it's not a DIY job. It's EPA-regulated work that shuts down wrong if the crew doesn't know the rules.

We've been running abatement crews through Fayette County since the 1990s. Most of our jobs come through Turner Construction and Messer Construction on commercial projects, but we also work directly with homeowners who find asbestos during renovations. Our trucks are parked at University of Kentucky projects most weeks, and we've done removal work at Cincinnati Public Schools and Ohio University for three decades. If you're dealing with asbestos in an older Lexington home, you need a crew that's been doing this work since before the internet.
