Attic Guys

My wife had been getting on me for a little bit about cleaning out the attic (and especially getting rid of all that nasty and soggy insulation). About a year ago we had a little bit of roof damage that went unnoticed for too long, and even though we were able to patch up the roof without blowing our budget we still needed to swap out all of the insulation that had gotten more than a little bit damp.
Honestly, I’d been putting it off for a while, mostly because it looked like an insurmountable mess — and I didn’t love the way I itched even after only a handful of minutes of the attic. After a weekend of hearing nonstop about how she knew I wasn’t going to tackle the attic (and she wasn’t wrong) I finally decided to do a little bit of research into a company that would handle the attic cleaning for me.
After about an hour of searching it became pretty clear that the folks over at the Attic Guys were the way to go. Not only did they have a solid reputation here on Unilocal,but their website was clean, they were pretty active on social media, and when I placed a call to their office they picked up on the third ring and answered each and every question I had. Believe me when I tell you that this wasn’t my experience during my research.
Anyway, after calling the Attic Guys they promised to send someone out to my house in the middle of the week to have a look at the project so they could fire over an accurate and reasonable estimate.
The individual showed up in the middle of the day (he gave me a call before he showed up to let me know he was en route) and while the estimate process didn’t take all that long — our attic isn’t very big — he was very thorough.
A couple days after that (after giving them the green light) my attic cleaning was taken care of completely — and now we have brand-​new insulation up there that I didn’t even have to touch!

You never want to turn over a job as important as air duct installation to a bunch of yahoos, and I’m glad I didn’t when I hired the Attic Guys.
I’m pretty handy myself, but I knew that when it comes to running the stuff responsible for keeping me nice and cool in the summer and nice a toasty in the winter there can be no accidents. I was looking for the best in the business at a price point that wouldn’t break me, and I found that and more with these professionals.
For starters, the estimation process went about as smoothly as you could expect. I had made it a point to break out a ladder for these guys to use so they could access the attic without any trouble, but life kinda got in the way and I had forgotten. No big deal though, as they came completely prepared and it didn’t slow the process down at all.
A couple of days after that I received my estimate in the mail, and with a quick phone call to their office to go over some of the details I decided to move forward with their help.
They were at the house a handful of days after that, all set and ready to roll. They knocked out the entire air duct installation project in a day — maybe three or four days shorter than I thought there were going to. They showed up to work early, got after the project in no time, and pushed to get it done.
On top of that, they cleaned up any mess they made (what little there was) before heading home. My wife definitely appreciated that!
After the work was over they made sure to show me the components they could, and then fired up the system to be sure that everything was good to go. They covered all of the work that they had done with a quick recap, explained to me the simple maintenance I would want to tackle to keep things running smooth from here on out, and encouraged me to call if I ever need help again.
They have my full and honest recommendation, and you’d have to be at least a little bit goofy not to give them a call when you need help!

This has to be the hardest and dirtiest job in the world. This team of five guys worked their tails off for an entire day. The ease at which they move in and around the attic makes them more like Attic Ninjas. Their work is stellar. All the insulation was removed and new insulation installed just as I had hoped. I wanted to make use of the attic again for storage and such but rats had overtaken my old attic.
Not only did I get my attic cleaned and reinsulated but I have also been rat free since the service about a month ago. I hated having to go in my attic and avoided it at all costs. If you’ve ever been under attack by rats you can imagine what a relief this was.
My only gripe is the cost of their service. They were one of the most expensive contractors that gave me a bid. If I had to do it all again, yes, I would hire these guys. The biggest reason I would do so is because they’re honest, they gave me a true square footage of my attic which actually cut into their price, but that was a huge deciding factor for me.

Installation crew was very polite and professional. Overall they did a great job.
There were a few minor details that bothered me, I discovered spray foam down the side of my outside wall & some batts not completely pressed up against each other.
I had received (3) bids and AtticGuys had the lowest price. I was a little hesitant but glad in the end I went with them.

It’s important I do as much due diligence as possible when hiring someone to work around the house. I need to trust them and be confident they’ll get the job done. Attic Guys got it done.
The best part about it was the whole process was made seamless with the system they have in place to give estimates, job information, appointment confirmations and invoices. Once I made my decision on the company I chose everything else was downhill which made a lot less work for me. I received emails for everything and everyone was very informative. I was even able to make my payments online, all this completed using only my iPhone and iPad, and you can’t beat that.
As for the service itself, much like everything else, I didn’t need to lift a finger. With the premium I paid this level of service is exactly what I expected. I watched as they prepared my home for the work to be done and as they removed all the insulation from the attic. The whole process looked pretty tough and they finished installing insulation in the attic well after sunset.

Sometimes you know when you’re in over your head. When it came to getting more insulation in my attic I didn’t hesitate to call in the experts. Scheduling was a cinch, I was sent an estimate by email and accepted the estimate online. The front office was easy to work with and the crew that showed up was a professional bunch. Once you work with Attic Guys you’ll be just as impressed as I am. Cliff, Phil, Enrique and Adrian did an excellent job. It looks all too easy when they’re hauling out one bag after another of crappy old insulation. I decided to get a whole house fan installed also. The fan was installed in the middle of my hallway right underneath the attic while the insulation was being replaced, so everything was done effeciently with no down time beyond what was scheduled for the attic.
After all was said and done my attic is totally clean now and there’s no awkward smells lingering down into my bedrooms and I have a whole house fan that works like a charm. This was no cheap ride, but it paid off in the end.

Attic Guys’ crew cleaned out my smelly and filthy attic last week. They quickly got to work after arriving on time. They scoped out this project and explained what they would do to take care of it. While they were working, they were able to remove several bags of damaged insulation. They thoroughly cleaned, brushed and vacuumed the attic. They replaced the damaged insulations with new ones and patched the holes that they have found. After taking care of the insulation, the sanitized the attic and ducts, leaving the attic and the rest of the house with a clean and fresh smell. The service was professional and speedy and the crew were always doing something.
If you need attic cleaning or attic decontamination service, I suggest you book for Attic Guys.

Last winter, we had a family squirrels taking shelter in our attic. After we have evicted them, we found out that one our bedrooms became particularly cold. Believing that it was caused by the squirrels, we called Attic Guys to check our attic and provide insulation install or insulation removal service if necessary.
Unfortunately for us, the squirrels’ brief winter vacation have tampered with our insulation, more specifically the area around the cold bedroom. The insulation was in tatters!!! After removing the damaged insulation and replacing it with a new one, the cold bedroom no longer became cold. Now that winter is here, we just have to make sure the squirrels don’t come back.

I called Attic Guys to help me with my insulation needs. They have a customer service person that forwarded my information to a field person. Mike P. set up my inspection for a week later and gave me window from 9am-​11am on a Wednesday. I spoke to him the night before the inspection and asked that he try his best to make it closer to 9am due to me taking off work that morning. By 10:30am he had made zero contact, so I sent him a text message asking when he would arrive. He promptly called stating that he was in traffic and would be later than promised. He immediately tried to reschedule. This is simply irresponsible and unprofessional to say the least. I will not give this company my business

This is my first review on Unilocal.It was important to share how great our experience was with the Attics Guys. Ron met my husband and provided a complete estimate. When we decided to move forward with the project, there were no surprises. Everything went smoothly. Cliff led the crew which included Lenell, Kyle N., Charles and Aurelio (OG). Everyone was friendly, honest and professional. They were on time and kept everything clean. When I would ask a question, they took the time to answer it. They even forwarded us information on how to get a rebate from the gas company. My mother in law already notices the difference with the R38 she chose.
I am one to do a lot of research. After reading the many positive responses, I am glad we chose the Attic Guys. Thanks Attic Guys!

The Attic guys did a fantastic job! They cleaned all the old insulation and replaced it with new ‘green’ insulation, cleaned all rodent droppings, blocked all opening so that no more pests can get in. They took exactly as long as they said they would — 8 hrs — and were friendly and even cheerful! They made sure my house stayed free from dust and dirt by by covering all my furniture and sealing off all doors with plastic, and protected the floors with paper. Ron, who came out to do the estimate had all the information I needed, and Lenell, who headed up the crew that did the work was great too. Friendly, fast and efficient. Would recommend them to anyone who needs an attic upgrade or overhaul.
Just read this back & it’s sounding like a paid advertisement, but none of them are my relatives, I swear! They were recommended to me by my contractor.

We discovered a hole leading into our attic at the cross point of two eaves of our home. The hole was due to how the house was built in 1955 and not caused by an animal. However, animals certainly enjoyed their time living up there for so long. After trapping and removing the most recent attic residents (opossum & raccoon), we discovered our attic was a disaster. The blown insulation was completely displaced and had visible animal trails. The batt insulation (underneath the blown insulation) had been pulled, ripped, and torn to be used as nest material. The vapor barrier and insulation from our HVAC ducts were torn to shreds. And there was opossum and raccoon feces/​urine throughout the entire attic, plus other debris left from the previous owners of the home.
I wanted to company that could remove all the insulation, feces, and debris plus disinfect the entire attic. I also wanted insulation boxes installed for all of my can lights. After receiving a couple bids (there are not many companies that perform this service), I decided on Attic Guys to perform the service.
I was extremely happy with the service they provided. Not only do they create a sealed plastic corridor path from your attic to the outside of your home to prevent any contaminated material from transferring into your home, they use a big, specialized, long vacuum hose that also leads to the outside of your home which deposits all the contaminated material into huge canvas bags made especially for this kind of hazardous material removal work. They spray disinfectant throughout your attic after everything has been removed and it does not have a harsh chemical smell. They also seal up all animal entry points so the problem will not return.
The crew of 7 arrived on time and worked hard all day– and worked well as a team. They had all the equipment needed, got to work right away, and each team member knew their roles & responsibilities resulting in professional, efficient teamwork. In addition, each team member was professional and polite. Top notch work by Yannick and his team– Cliff, Phil, Adrian, Og, Yahya, & Brandon! Yannick was a pleasure to deal with each time I spoke with him– from start to finish. And a shout out goes to Jon (office manager) for working out all the details within a tight timeline!
After the work was completed, I noticed a few places where the paint on the ceiling has cracked a little and the trim piece of a couple can lights were no longer flush with the ceiling. This is normal when you have contractors working in an attic. Attic Guys has a full-​time employee dedicated to fixing those issues. Bruce did a great and professional job fixing those issues. And I don’t mean some guy came with a step ladder, threw some spackle at it and painted. He put plastic down everywhere he worked, took his time assessing and resolving the issues. He used quality painters putty, and «textured» when he painted so the paint would match the texture of of the rest of the ceiling. He would have also gone to get cans to paint to exactly match the color if I didn’t already have it (which I did). He had to make two trips to enable the painters putty to sufficiently dry before sanding. All of this is was at no extra cost– it’s included in the service.
Overall, I’m extremely happy with Attic Guys and would certainly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a company to perform this kind of service.

Purchased a house that had no insulation, tons of debris leftover from a new roof, an old birds nest and tons of non insulation rated recessed lights! It was an inferno in the summer and an ice box in the winter!
I needed to find a company that would not only do insulation work but also clean the old roofing and any crud that had been left behind. Lots of companies didn’t want to do the cleanup or if they did do the cleanup they didn’t want to deal with the recessed lights.
So I called the Attic Guys. They came out to spec the job and arrived on time. They looked at the attic space and explained that they could start by cleaning out the attic completely, air seal the attic space and then build insulated boxes around my 32 recessed lights to make the air sealing effective.
They went further to explain that they use Knauf EcoBatt insulation in combination with Knauf EcoSeal which is a green alternative water based air sealant. This is a much greener approach to insulate a home when compared to other insulation types of fiberglass that use formaldehyde or spray foam which is petroleum based. The last thing I wanted was to add chemicals or toxins in to the air in my home.
I ended up with a spotless attic space, R38 Insulation in the newly air sealed attic and also had them do the further insulate the crawl space below the house with R30. The job came in as quoted and on time (2 day job). All I can say is WOW what a difference the insulation made. The home now holds a consistent temperature throughout the day which is comfortable and just fantastic!
I would like to mention that Lenell McGlothin and team were friendly and professional. They explained every step and were very cautious with the hardwood floors and furnishings.
If I had to do it again I would certainly use the Attic Guys without any hesitation.

Jon followed up with me after I sent this review. He was kind enough to come over and perform an inspection of my attic and what not. I am now waiting on the city to come and do a Green evaluation inspection before I proceed.
The cost of what I need done is expensive but there are some rebates available.

My experience with this company has been very positive. The one thing I expect from any service is prompt service. I had a very bad rat infestation in my attic and called this company. They said they would be at my home at 9 am. They showed up at 8:30am ready to work. I really appreciated that. They brought in a team of very capable and friendly guys and worked dilliegently throughout the day to get the job done by 4 pm. There was a discrepency on the contract about payment which clearly was a mistake and which I questioned and they honored and refunded the deposit so I was satisfied. The only thing that I question about the company is the receptionist and her attiude and phone etiquette has to be desired other than that, this team was professional, timely, efficient and thourough in their extraction, sealing entry points, disinfecting, replacing the insulation, and clean up. I would recommend this company highly.

At first, they were great. We needed to clean out the old insulation and rat feces. They came in, cleaned everything out, and put new insulation same day. Until, in doing some research, I learned that insulation should never be put in same day because the attic needs time to air out and deodorize. First bad revelation. Then we were dealing with the rodents coming back. For some reason, this company fails to seal up the holes in the house properly! With the exception of one person whom I love at the company, I have to say on a whole, the customer service over the phone isn’t great. If you’re lucky to get a call back, kinda attitude-​y. At least… this is my experience.

Received a message after my initial contact, but have called and left messages two more times with no response. Next…
