See what our satisfied customers have to say about our insulation removal service!

We called more than a dozen companies for bids to remove and replace our insulation. Koala was the only one who had knowledgeable insight into the job ahead. And offered articulate explanation of different types of products, and a detailed quote for each. No gotchas or surprises....and at an excellent price point. The completed job exceeded my expectations. I don't often give glowing reviews...but these guys absolutely deserve this one. They are highly recommended!

Terry C.
Eastern Carolina

I was interested in having better insulation in my attic. Koala sent a representative to my home and he did a detailed inspection of my attic’s insulation. He sent me three estimates ranging from topping off existing insulation to complete removal of existing insulation and adding new. I thought the pricing was fair. We made our selection and the work was completed to our satisfaction. We’re looking forward to saving in our utility bill. I would recommend Koala for your insulation needs.

Ramiro G.

I have dealt with several contractors for the past 6 weeks and by far Koala insulation was the most pleasant and easy to deal with. They were fully equipped, fully staffed, on time and not a penny over their quote! I would highly recommend.

Murray D.

Got the whole attic insulated from start to finish just a positive experience. I would highly recommend Koala insulation for all your insulating needs!

LEARN ALL ABOUT BLOWN IN INSULATION!

Moisture Damage

Slow, minor leaks, severe weather, excessive or extreme temperatures, and intense humidity will cause moisture to build up. Sealing up air leaks will ensure that the new insulation will not become damp, leading to mold and mildew. Additionally, moisture can cause cellulose to lose its pest and fire-resistant qualities.

Pest Contamination

Rodents, birds, and insects that find their way into your attic, crawlspace, or walls may find your insulation to be quite cozy and thus decide to move in. When removing the old insulation, any pest feces and urine will be removed, and your attic will be sanitized completely before any new insulation get installed.

Air Sealing

Air leakage can lead to the transfer of heat and moisture, which can cause numerous issues, even with the highest insulation level. Reducing air flow is essential to improve the overall energy performance of your home. Koala technicians will seal around your access hatch, recessed lights, duct work and any other spaces that may allow air flow, creating a tight air barrier.

CELLULOSE

Cellulose consists of fibers made from recycled newspaper, cardboard, or wood and is made with or without binders. Cellulose is a very common type of blown-in insulation as it is made from recycled materials and is chemically treated to resist pests, mold, and fire. Boric acid is the primary chemical used to treat Cellulose insulation and is found naturally in seawater, fruits, and plants.

FIBERGLASS

Fiberglass is made from plastic, glass, and other raw materials that are melted and spun into fibers that resemble the texture of wool. Fiberglass insulation has moisture and fire-resistant properties. Because fiberglass is made from sand and glass, it is naturally non-combustible. Fiberglass has significant recycled content with some loose-fill products containing up to 80% recycled glass.

R-Value Matters

When choosing attic insulation, R-value matters. Insulation is labeled by R-value. R stands for resistance to heat flow, the greater the R-value, the higher the insulating power. Koala installers have the knowledge and experience to recommend and install the right density and thickness (R-value).

Fusion-Edit-600 removal

Depending on where you live, different climate zones require different R-values. If you live in a colder climate zone, like the northeast, you’ll need a higher R-value of insulation, then if you live in a milder climate zone. Typical recommendations for exterior walls are R-13 to R-23, while R-30, R-38 and R-49 are common for ceilings and attic spaces. Proper batt insulation must be installed higher and over your ceiling joists or wall studs, this allow for optimal insulating.

James City, NC

From the very beginning every step was done in a professional and courteous manner. Gary did a great job inspecting the cellulose insulation that was blown in over 20 years ago and pointed out areas of concern. We decided to have the old insulation removed and new insulation and solar powered fan installed by Koala. Hank, our installer, was very knowledgeable and proficient at his job. We are very pleased with the results.

James City, NC

Tough job done well

When I first meet Gary and Pam, I was impressed by their professional approach to our unique build. A 6000 square foot stable build with a large main structure 25 foot tall. Appearance was important to us and we choose close cell foam application. As often happens in jobs, some unforeseen challenges arose. Where most would have made an exit strategy, Gary pulled out a plan and stepped up the game plan to meet and exceed expectations. The end result was a completed project where our build is stronger and well insulated. In conversation later with Gary, he made the comment,” I don’t quit” and he put those words to action. Thank you for a difficult job being successfully completed.

On time- on budget

A big Thank You for a job well done! Our spray foam job was finished on time and on budget, can't wait to enjoy the building. Shout out to Hank and Derrick for their fine work. Call Gary for a quote.

Ernul, NC

Performed with care.

I've known Gary and Pam for years. They are very trustworthy, and I know their care toward their customers and work ethic is top-notch. The work performed came out great and we are so glad we did it. It's made a huge difference in our bills.

Pamlico County

The job was done quickly and efficiently!

We recently used Koala to insulate our two-car garage before putting drywall up, the job was done quickly and efficiently, a great experience from the sale through the insulation being installed! The price was right as well, I definitely recommend Koala! I even got a call from the owner!"

Beaufort, NC

Will definately use Koala again!

Fantastic experience from start to finish! Quick to return calls, arrived on time for all appointments, took care of my house like it was their own—exactly the way it is supposed to happen (but unfortunately, not the norm around here). On a technical level, the assessment of my home was thorough and comprehensive and included close inspection of my problem areas with a thermal camera. Most importantly, RESULTS!….we saw significant improvements: HVAC is running less frequently and the heat and humidity in my problem areas have decreased significantly. I will definitely use Koala again and recommend them to all my friends and neighbors."

Emerald Isle, NC

Educational evaluation was great!

We were interested in seeing how we could make our home more efficient and possibly reduce our heating bills. Your representative came out and was most informative and professional in her presentation. She was able to show us where we were losing heat and the areas that were well-insulated. We appreciated her honesty and will definitely recommend your company.""

New Bern, NC

Courteous, educational and solution oriented.

Professional from start to finish. Expectations were set up front and followed all the way through. I liked how they went the extra mile, laying down tarps so as to not mark up my driveway, they took their time explaining the process showing the areas where heat was coming into the living space with an infrared camera, then even though it was a hot day they spent a good amount of time in the attic and discovered that the baffles weren’t correctly installed and even missing in many places, there also wasn’t even close to the amount of insulation required by the current code. No wonder my AC was constantly running!""
