Attic Star

We called because we had a rat problem in the attic. Overall the experience was great! Sean was very helpful and extremely nice. Our original appointment was at 10am but he showed up earlier which was good. They cleaned my attic and serviced the holes and gaps making us feel a lot more comfortable. They also finished on time. I would highly recommend this company to anyone especially Sean!

We recently bought a bank owned home that was vacant for several years. During this time about 20 pigeons took residence in the attic where they proceeded to give birth in many nests scattered across the attic, and lets just say they used the bathroom in very square inch of our 5,000 sq ft. attic.
We called another attic service and they came out and took an hour and a half to look around. They said they have never seen a job as big as this one. During this hour and a half they kept asking a ton of questions and going over the same information which was very interrupting to my day with my toddler. After all of that they and gave us a $ 15,000 estimate! What! We said thanks but no thanks to those guys.
We called Ron and his team with Attic Star and he came out in a day to take a look, and was early for the appointment. Ron spent about 15 mins in the attic (did I mention the other guys were here for 1 ½ hours?) and lets just say his estimate was wayyy under 15k for the same job. Since we booked right then he gave us an additional discount. Ron also said he had done jobs with rodents and birds much larger than this, which gave me a lot of confidence. Before he left I asked if he wanted my phone number in case he was running late and he said there was no need because he would be here right on time.
And he was right on time, actually early. Before they started they put down floor covering and made sure everything was all set up before I left for work. My husband went home for lunch to take a look at the progress. Ron likes for you to check their work periodically. We returned about 4 hours later and they were just finishing up spraying the new installation into the attic. I actually went up into the attic for the first time to take a look. They packed up everything and there was not a trace that they have ever been here expect for the clean attic. At one point we considered doing the job ourselves, but with the great cost Attic Star can give you, you won’t be saving very much doing it yourself. I would highly recommend Attic Star to anyone who has a crappy job that needs a good cleaning «no pun intended!»

They came and did an estimate for insulating my attic and were able to fit me in to the schedule the very next day. They came and did professional work and got everything done quickly and efficiently. 5 stars!

Attic Star was great. Their technician Sean came and gave us a quote and then came and helped to do the work himself with two other guys — they worked really well, did a thorough job, and I think it was a really reasonable price.

Good quality of job. The technicians give honest comment about the problems. And their job is very proper and clean

Great knowledge with quick and professional service. Sean was very courteous and detailed. m with a great efficient team. Even when he discovered areas of concern didn’t hesitate to take care of it. Highly recommend Attic Star for your insulation needs.

Attic Star was hands down ah-​mazing! Sean and his team were on time, courteous, thorough and were great at communicating throughout the entire process to understand what was going on. I told Sean that i wish they did more than just insulation and every company we bring in were like them. Oh and we are no longer dressing like Charlie’s parents from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory because our house is retaining Heat!!! Win-​Win! you can’t go wrong with this company

Ron from Attic Star was great. He and his assistant came for a consultation for putting insulation in our attic and spent time explaining the results, telling us what he would do, and breaking down the estimate. When we asked if he could put some plywood down on top of the insulation so we could use the attic space for storage, he agreed to do so and gave us the information necessary to buy plywood (size, number, thickness of pieces).
When it came time to do the work, he was punctual and efficient. He came on time, installed, showed us pictures of the finished attic and left within a few hours.
Overall we are very satisfied with Ron’s professional and friendly work and we would recommend him to anyone looking for insulation professionals.

Searched for an attic insulating company. Ron was polite and arrived as indicated. After about 2 mins of checking the space we discussed cost. His was the most reasonable, but more specifically, I liked that he was personable.
Additionally he described in detail the entire work to be done and I felt satisfied that it would be done, however as with all contracted work I waited to see if he would indeed show up.
He did, with a crew that was larger than normal, but he advised that he was training some new guys so if I didn’t mind… which of course when they are training, usually the work is done well since someone is checking the work completed.
Needless to say I felt that the work was done right. He even shot some video from his mobile for me (since I had my hands full with my 18 month old that day).
All in all professional and would indeed refer to people I know.
Thanks guys.

Ron and team were fantastic. Ron came to do a very detailed inspection of the attic after we had a rat problem. He was very honest with what needed and didn’t need to be done in terms of the insulation and also rat proofing the house. Long story short, Ron and team came in to remove all the old and infested insulation, sanitized the whole attic and crawl space, and put in new insulation. What I was most impressed with was the attention to detail and the ease of working with Ron. Would highly recommend Attic Star and Ron in particular to anyone looking to replace their insulation.

Ron was great. Delivered on everything he promised. A little tough negotiating the price but in the end we were both satisfied. I would recommend.

Wow! All I can is wow! Sean provided an accurate and thorough estimate, then his crew came out to do the job. They had to clear out old insulation and lay down new r-​38 insulation. They spent over 12 hours one day and almost 10 hours another day. And from start to finish they were as meticulous and careful as they started. In total they must have removed over 40 bags worth of junk.
Sean was professional, empathetic, genuine, funny, and was extremely detail oriented. He even went to the level ensuring the glue on tape left behind on the hardwood floor was thoroughly scrubbed. The attic itself was completely transformed.
When I provided suggestions or asked questions he was always professional and willing. I really think he only cared about 2 things:
1) a perfect clean up job (yes perfect)
2) happy customers
I would whole heatedly recommend Sean and crew to anyone. Don’t look elsewhere even if are saving a few hundred bucks.
I wish I had another dirty attic so I can hire Sean. Great job. Its rare I come across any individual and team like this in any trade. I hope Attic Star has great things set in store for you in the future.
Good job! Can I give these guys 10 stars?

Our home was built in 1950, and we noticed some rooms were much colder than others. Ron came and inspected our attic, and our insulation was thin and uneven, with several bare spots. A week after the inspection, Sean and his crew came and explained everything they were doing throughout the process. They removed the old insulation and replaced it with new insulation, and left everything immaculate. We immediately noticed the difference in temperature in rooms that had previously been cold. We are completely satisfied with the results and unreservedly recommend Attic Star for insulation removal and installation!

I could hear rats running around at night in the attic and when running the central heater I could smell something rotten
We decided to get attic star free estimate, because they had great reviews on both Google and Unilocal
Ron came over to give a free estimate, he and his crew where dressed in protective suits, and wearing masks while they inspected the attic.
They gave a good quote, and we decided to go with them
Showed up on time, even though they had to drive from Oakland to Mountain View. They worked 5 hours straight to finish the job, showed me the attic after old insulation and all of the droppings where removed. And after they pumped in the new insulation.
They even installed protective screens in open areas of my attic so that new rats can’t get inside
Did the good job cleaning up and vacuuming after themselves. I’m very happy with the job they have done.

Sean came to our house to give us an inspection and quote, and he was great! He was able to get his team in THAT DAY and get the job finished before 7:00pm at a great price! We had racoons in our attic with a lot of entry points, they sealed up all the points, took out all the old insulation and replaced it with new. He was patient with me when I asked him to check every area of the house, and so polite, knowledgeable and helpful. Because we had a raccoon problem in the attic, he promised to come back if we heard anything else. After the initial visit, Sean came back TWICE at no extra charge to make sure every attic entry point was filled and our attic was 100% safe from critters. It has been a month with no sign of animal activity, and we are so thankful. He even left us with a year long guarantee so I know we can still call them if anything should happen. Thank you Sean!

Great job Sean!
Scenario: A flip home for sale had old feces in the crawl space. Inspector said it would be advisable to clean it out for the next family. Doesn’t look good on the inspection report. We decided to use Attic Star after 1 other quote.
Sean came 3 hours early for an estimate and did the job in about 3 hours, same day.
What did he do:
–clean out the poop (vacuum & bag entire crawl space)
–sanitize the crawl space (kill the germs ie bleach)
–closed up all access to rodents
–killed the smell (no more old poop or urine smell)
Quick service, friendly, and is eager to do a good quality job.
Will use again.
Thanks Attic Star and Sean!

This is a follow up review for Attic Star. The day following my Unilocal post I received a call from Ron who oversees quality control and customer satisfaction. We talked about my review and the few small issues that were not delivered upon. We scheduled a time for Ron to come back out to my house to review the work with me – and to my surprise Sean showed up with Ron as well. We looked at the three areas of concern and they both went to work to rectify them.
If every business had this level of customer satisfaction and quality control it would be a dream. If I could give Attic Star a 10-​star rating on Unilocal,I would.
Thanks guys!

I had the Ron come on a sunday which was pretty cool he would meet me right away.
He gave me a competitive price and scheduled for that week.
They came Thursday, Sean came to do the door and was very pleasant to work with.
They put up plastic around the area where the vacuum was.
They really worked to get every piece of insulation out.
They worked pretty late to complete the job

I was getting a new roof and was referred to Attic Star from my roofing company. The technician, Ron and his team showed up for my initial estimate. They were very polite and after the inspection, Ron described in detail what was needed and thoroughly went over the estimate with me. I decided then to place a deposit for the job.
Upon the week of my roof replacement, Attic Star were flexible to schedule around the roofing schedule; they even had the removal of old insulation one day then the new insulation installed few days later to accommodate for needed electrical work (although this is was an extra fee of $ 240).
There was one day of miscommunication on appointment time (the first day of insulation removal) where they arrived earlier than expected but it all worked out fine.
One thing that I would’ve liked is for them to accept credit cards without an additional percentage fee but that’s my personal preference for a big ticket item/​job like this.
Overall, courteous, dependable and great service. I would recommend them.

Ron was very straightforward and explained that we only needed added blown-​in insulation and that no cleaning was necessary.
The work was done on time and took only 1 hour.
The few openings were sealed with foam and the insulation was expertly installed.
I was impressed with Ron’s thorough evaluation and estimate before the work was completed.
Highly recommended.
