Advantage Plus Energy Insulation

Overall great experience with Colleen and her team. I had the green fiber cellulous blown into the walls of my house during the record heat wave during Sep 2015. There was no insulation in the walls previous to this, and I elected not to do attic because it’s a small one with little footprint. After the job was complete I noticed an immediate difference. For example, the south facing walls were NOT hot to the touch on the inside as compared to previously (when without insulation). Also notice the improved sound reduction. The wall insulation is a more noticeable difference to me during the hot weather, as compared to cooler temps.
What I liked about this company are the following:
–I like to support small businesses when able.
–They are the only company in the San Diego market (that I could find) that does drill, fill and PATCH. They patched the stucco and wood exterior. Most other companies just put a foam plug in and you have to patch the 200+ one inch holes yourself.
–Prices are competitive to others even though they offer the full service patching.
What I did not like:
–They were late on both days of the two day job. Somewhat expected due to traffic issues coming from San Clemente and commuting down the I-​5 corridor to San Diego, but this lead to finishing the work in the dark on both days.

Worst company to deal with. Procrastinated in coming over to give us a bid. Wanted to postponed appointment where I’ve been waiting all day for them to show up. When she did arrive, pushed to do other things that we clearly didn’t want. Promised to give us a bid right away due to our construction time frame. Bid never came in as promised. Called and asked for the bid again 3 days after the promised. Said they would give it to me ASAP but never came. Claim that they were too busy cause everyone wants insulation. Duh? Why did you bother coming out!!!

Colleen and her crew did a wonderful job on our new home. They worked around the clock to meet our deadlines and took great care to provide us with a extremely fair price to match exceptional work. I had over 1800 sqft of insulation done for my home. You don’t meet too many honest contractors these days but I felt like this company had my interests at heart and did their very best for my family.
The insulation really makes a serious difference in heating and cooling of our home not to mention the improved sound insulation.
I like a family run operation that treats you as a real customer and not just a transaction.

Booked an appointment Saturday afternoon, no call, no show. I waited all afternoon at home for you. Now you get one star. Booo!

Our house is 50 years old and had little attic insulation and no insulation in the walls. The house was so hot that even with the air conditioning on we couldn’t cool it down. We had four companies out and Advantage gave us a very competitive quote. Once we chose to go with them our biggest concern was how well their patch job was going to be and it turned out to be excellent! Our house is much cooler than it was before, and in hindsight I feel like their (Colleen’s) promises were pretty accurate.
At most my only complaint would be that they were later in showing up than I would have liked, but if you asked me if I would recommend them to a friend the answer would be a definitive yes.

We had Advantage Plus come out to our house to give us a quote because our house was just too hot in the summer & too cool in the winter. Colleen came out with her main installer Jeff. They answered all our questions, measured for square footage, gave us info about rebates & gave us a reasonable quote that was valid for 3 weeks. Advantage Plus came out to insulate our attic and walls. It took 2 ½ days to drill, fill & patch & paint. I think it took a bit longer than normal due to the fact some of her crew were in a bad accident the night before our installation and Colleen had to scramble to rearrange her crews to make sure our install began as scheduled. (We asked them not to paint inside as we are planning to repaint anyway). Jeff, Jess and Giovanne work their tails off & did a good job. We felt immediate results as the interior temp in the house dropped 3 degrees the next day. It’s a messy job but they did a decent job keeping up with vacuuming & sweeping as the job progressed. If they do any interior walls you will HAVE to dust everything in your house! A minor inconvenience but resulting in a much cooler & QUIETER home. Colleen as project manager came & went as necessary & kept a good eye on things to make sure things progressed. We will definitely recommend Advantage Plus to anyone who is looking to insulate their home.

Fair price, very professional with all my requests and inquiries. They met all my expectations! I would recommend them to anyone in need of professional installation.

I needed to find a company that could provide insulation and sound proofing for part of my home. I met with three different companies who provide blown-​in cellulose services in the area. Colleen, by far, was the most knowledgeable about blown-​in cellulose as it relates to blocking out sound from the exterior and for insulation purposes. Colleen and Jeff came out to my property to evaluate and gave me the best estimate. They were able to come out and do the work that same weekend (due to a cancellation). The crew members were very nice, organized and professional. They were especially generous with the materials placed in my attic. The attic is fully insulated now and the results in the attic are terrific. The crew completely cleaned up before they left. Since installing the materials, I noticed that our heater thermostat is triggered much less often than before. There has been no appreciable difference in weather conditions before and after installation, so I know that the materials installed are working great. Five Stars as it relates to insulation. For soundproofing it was not as effective.

This is the year I promised my wife we would not freeze thru winter. Usually my heater is turned on full blast & we still are wrapped up all the time because it is too darn cold. So this is the year we got professional help. Not just some kids, a real insured business.
I chose Advantage plus initially because my friend had a good experience from them. Great company. They made everything easy for me & educated me on what I needed done. My attic needed serious attention & my walls too. Insulation was added into the attic & into my house’s walls for a serious improvement. No snuggies this year.
Colleen was really nice and professional and every part of their help was great. Totally recommend them
