Insulation in Richfield, MN
Richfield’s housing stock sits directly beneath MSP Airport’s primary flight corridors, which means hundreds of homes here carry acoustic insulation packages installed over the past three decades. Those treatments were engineered for sound, not thermal performance. Crawl space encapsulation and vapor barrier work in Richfield has to start with an honest assessment of what’s already behind the walls and under the floors, because assuming your home is insulated often means discovering it was only soundproofed. Call (855) 657-3403 and a live person will help you sort out what you actually need.
Why Richfield Homes Are Different
Richfield developed almost entirely between 1945 and 1965 as one of the Twin Cities’ first mass-produced postwar suburbs. That leaves neighborhoods like the ones around Richfield High School, Augsburg Park, and Taft Park full of compact ramblers and story-and-a-half cape cods with shallow attic cavities and uninsulated rim joists. The oldest units still have active knob-and-tube wiring, which under Minnesota code legally bars direct-contact blown-in insulation without electrical remediation first. That single fact changes how we approach dozens of Richfield jobs each year.
The other thing that makes Richfield unique is the airport. Homes that received early MAC Sound Insulation Program work in the late 1990s often have replacement windows and fresh drywall but untouched attic insulation still sitting at original 1950s levels. A homeowner will walk us through their house and say, “Look, we already did the insulation,” and they’re not wrong about the acoustic work. But sound transmission loss has nothing to do with R-49 attic standards or Minnesota Climate Zone 6 heating loads. Richfield routinely exceeds 8,000 heating degree days annually, and those ranch-style rooflines are prime candidates for ice dams that form at the attic floor, not the roof surface. Air sealing and thermal insulation fix that. Roofing doesn’t.
Our Main Richfield Services
Attic insulation accounts for more callouts in Richfield than any other single job, because the housing era and climate conspire to leave attics critically under-insulated. Here’s what that work looks like on the ground.
Attic Insulation in Richfield
Most Richfield attics we enter still hold the original rockwool or fiberglass batts from the Truman and Eisenhower administrations. In a cape cod with shallow cavities, getting to R-49 often means air sealing first, then blowing cellulose or fiberglass over the top. The MAC sound packages complicate things only if someone assumes the acoustic work counts. It doesn’t. We check knob-and-tube wiring before any blow-in, and we’re honest when remediation is required. Attic Insulation in Richfield starts with an attic floor assessment, not a roofline guess.

Crawl Space Encapsulation & Vapor Barrier in Richfield
Richfield’s postwar ramblers almost all sit over vented crawl spaces, and a vented crawl space in Minnesota Climate Zone 6 is an open invitation for humid summer air to condense against cold floor joists all spring long. The result is mold, rot, musty odors, and cold floors in January. Our Crawl Space Encapsulation & Vapor Barrier work in Richfield starts by measuring the actual moisture load under the house, then sealing the space with a heavy reinforced vapor barrier, insulating the perimeter walls, and conditioning the air so the crawl behaves like part of the conditioned home rather than a damp cave beneath it.
Crawl Space Vapor Barrier
Signs you need it
Standing water after heavy rain, a damp earthy smell in the living room, or visible condensation on ductwork under the floor are all signs the crawl space is moving moisture upward into the house.
What it costs in Richfield
A vapor barrier installation in Richfield typically runs $1,200 to $4,000 depending on square footage, access height, and whether we’re also sealing existing vents.
How we do it
We remove debris, level the worst dips, lay a 10-mil or 12-mil reinforced poly barrier across the floor and up the foundation walls, and mechanically fasten it so it stays put.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
Signs you need it
If your floors are freezing in winter, your heating bills keep climbing, or you smell what you’d describe as “old basement” in August, your crawl space may be the problem.
What it costs in Richfield
Full encapsulation in Richfield typically runs $5,000 to $14,000, with the range driven by crawl height, existing drainage issues, and whether we’re adding a dehumidifier or sump pump.
How we do it
We seal all vents and rim joists, line the floor and walls with a vapor barrier, insulate the perimeter, and add mechanical dehumidification so relative humidity stays below 55% year-round.
Crawl Space Moisture Control
Signs you need it
Condensation on crawl space surfaces, efflorescence on block walls, or a persistent mildew smell that no amount of airing out seems to fix all point to uncontrolled moisture.
What it costs in Richfield
Moisture control fixes in Richfield typically run $1,000 to $6,000 depending on whether we’re adding drainage, a sump, or encapsulation-grade sealing to an existing vented crawl.
How we do it
We identify moisture sources first, grade soil away from the foundation, add interior drainage if needed, and then apply the sealing or encapsulation strategy that matches the measured humidity.
What Crawl Space Encapsulation & Vapor Barrier Costs in Richfield
| Item | Typical range in Richfield |
|---|---|
| Vapor barrier (floor & walls) | $1,200 - $4,000 |
| Full encapsulation | $5,000 - $14,000 |
| Moisture control package | $1,000 - $6,000 |
| Crawl space cleanout (with sealing) | $700 - $2,500 |
Is encapsulation worth it in a Richfield rambler?
Yes, almost always. Richfield ramblers over vented crawls lose heat through the floor assembly all winter and pull damp air in all summer. Encapsulation converts that space from a liability to a conditioned buffer, and our 90-Day Done Right Promise applies to every job.
Can you encapsulate a crawl space with knob-and-tube wiring present?
We can, but we’ll coordinate with an electrician first if any wiring runs through areas we need to seal or cover. Our job is to make the space dry and conditioned, not to hide electrical hazards behind a barrier.
Spray Foam Insulation in Richfield
Richfield’s shallow attic cavities and uninsulated rim joists are exactly the weak points where spray foam earns its keep, because it delivers high R-value per inch in spaces that can’t hold a thick batt. In a cape cod with a 2×6 rafter bay, closed-cell foam delivers an air seal and R-21 to R-28 in a single pass where fiberglass would leave thermal bypasses. We use Spray Foam Insulation products from Demilec and Icynene, and most Richfield jobs finish in one visit.
Rim Joist Spray Foam
Signs you need it
Cold floors along exterior walls, drafts around the band board in the basement, or rodent activity at the sill plate all indicate the rim joist is unsealed.
What it costs in Richfield
Rim joist spray foam in Richfield typically runs $800 to $2,500 for a standard rambler, depending on linear footage and existing insulation removal.
How we do it
We clear away any old fiberglass, then apply closed-cell foam directly to the band board and sill plate, creating an air and vapor seal in one application.
Open-Cell Spray Foam
Signs you need it
Open-cell is the right call for attic roof decks and interior walls where you want air sealing plus sound control without the higher material cost of closed-cell.
What it costs in Richfield
Open-cell spray foam in Richfield roof decks typically runs $1.50 to $3.50 per board foot installed, with most attic roof deck jobs landing between $3,000 and $8,000.
How we do it
We apply a continuous lift of open-cell foam directly to the roof deck, sealing the attic as a conditioned space and eliminating the need for vented soffits.
What Spray Foam Insulation Costs in Richfield
| Item | Typical range in Richfield |
|---|---|
| Rim joist spray foam | $800 - $2,500 |
| Open-cell roof deck | $3,000 - $8,000 |
| Closed-cell foundation walls | $2,000 - $6,500 |
| Garage ceiling spray foam | $1,500 - $4,000 |
Does spray foam work in Minnesota’s cold climate?
Yes. Closed-cell foam maintains its R-value in cold conditions better than fiberglass or cellulose, and it doubles as an air barrier, which matters in Richfield where winter temperature swings drive significant air movement through unsealed cavities.
Is spray foam safe after it’s installed?
Once cured, properly installed spray foam is inert and safe. We use off-gassing protocols and keep homeowners informed during application. On any job involving existing knob-and-tube wiring, we coordinate electrical remediation before foam goes in, because foam can’t sit against live knob-and-tube.
Blown-In Insulation in Richfield
Blown-in insulation is the workhorse upgrade for Richfield attics, because it fills the shallow, odd-shaped cavities in postwar ramblers and cape cods where batt insulation leaves gaps. Most Richfield attics we test are sitting at R-10 to R-20 when Minnesota code calls for R-49. Blowing cellulose or fiberglass over the existing layer is the fastest way to close that gap, and Blown-In Insulation from GreenFiber or Johns Manville lands in one visit.
Blown-In Cellulose
Signs you need it
If your attic looks nearly empty, you can see the tops of ceiling joists, or your heating bills spike every January, you’re a candidate for blown-in cellulose.
What it costs in Richfield
Blown-in cellulose in a Richfield attic typically runs $1,000 to $3,500 for a full R-49 installation on a standard rambler footprint, depending on existing depth.
How we do it
We air seal penetrations first, then blow dense, fire-retardant-treated cellulose across the attic floor to the full R-49 depth, keeping the soffit vents clear.
Dense-Pack Wall Insulation
Signs you need it
If your walls are empty or under-filled and exterior temperatures make the drywall feel cold in winter, dense-pack cellulose or fiberglass can fill the stud bays without tearing out walls.
What it costs in Richfield
Dense-pack wall insulation in Richfield typically runs $2.50 to $5.00 per square foot of wall area, with most full rambler walls landing between $4,000 and $10,000.
How we do it
We drill small access holes through the exterior or interior, pack the cavity under pressure with cellulose or fiberglass, then patch the holes to match the surface.
What Blown-In Insulation Costs in Richfield
| Item | Typical range in Richfield |
|---|---|
| Attic blown-in cellulose (R-49) | $1,000 - $3,500 |
| Dense-pack walls | $4,000 - $10,000 |
| Blown-in top-up over existing | $600 - $1,800 |
How do I know if blown-in insulation is right for my Richfield attic?
If the attic is accessible and the existing insulation is dry, clean, and free of knob-and-tube wiring, blowing in cellulose or fiberglass is almost always the most cost-effective path. Call (855) 657-3403 for an attic assessment, and we’ll tell you honestly whether blown-in is the right call.
Does blown-in insulation settle over time?
Cellulose settles slightly in the first few weeks, which is why we install to settled depth, not just loose fill height. After that, it holds. If your current insulation has settled to half its original depth, a top-up is usually faster and cheaper than starting over.
Radiant Barrier Installation in Richfield
Radiant barrier is not a replacement for thermal insulation, but in a Richfield attic over a low-slope or shallow ranch roof, it does meaningful work in summer by reflecting radiant heat before it can soak through the ceiling. Where the MAC sound packages left thermal attics mostly untouched, a radiant barrier becomes one more tool, and Radiant Barrier Installation here is almost always paired with air sealing and blown-in insulation rather than sold as a standalone miracle.
Attic Radiant Barrier
Signs you need it
If your upstairs rooms run 10 to 15 degrees hotter than the rest of the house in July, and the attic itself is unbearable by mid-afternoon, radiant heat is a large part of the problem.
What it costs in Richfield
Attic radiant barrier installation in Richfield typically runs $1,200 to $4,000 for a standard rambler attic, depending on roof deck surface area and access conditions.
How we do it
We staple or fasten a reinforced foil-faced radiant barrier to the underside of the roof deck, leaving the required air gap so the reflective surface can actually perform.
Radiant Barrier & Ventilation
Signs you need it
Hot attics with insufficient ventilation are a dual problem: radiant heat plus trapped air. A radiant barrier works best when airflow is correct, so we often address both together.
What it costs in Richfield
A combined radiant barrier and ventilation package in Richfield typically runs $2,500 to $6,500, depending on whether we’re adding soffit vents, a ridge vent, or baffles.
How we do it
We assess the current vent ratios, add intake or exhaust if needed, and then install the radiant barrier so it doesn’t block the air channels that keep the roof deck dry.
What Radiant Barrier Installation Costs in Richfield
| Item | Typical range in Richfield |
|---|---|
| Attic radiant barrier | $1,200 - $4,000 |
| Radiant barrier & ventilation package | $2,500 - $6,500 |
| Radiant barrier roof deck | $1,800 - $5,000 |
Will a radiant barrier alone fix my hot Richfield upstairs?
No. A radiant barrier reduces radiant heat gain, but if your attic still has R-15 insulation and air leaks at every plumbing penetration, you’ll keep losing conditioned air all winter. We recommend it as part of an attic package, never as a standalone fix.
Does a radiant barrier do anything in a Minnesota winter?
It provides a modest benefit by reflecting heat back into the living space, but its real value is summer. In a climate with Richfield’s 8,000-plus heating degree days, thermal insulation still does most of the heavy lifting year-round.
Insulation Removal & Replacement in Richfield
Richfield’s oldest homes, built right after the war, often have attics with original rockwool that’s been compressed, saturated by roof leaks, or thoroughly contaminated by decades of rodent traffic through easy-access eave gaps. Removing that material and replacing it with clean, code-compliant insulation is the only way to reset the thermal envelope. Insulation Removal & Replacement in Richfield is also the correct first step when we find knob-and-tube wiring, because Minneosta code requires electrical remediation before any new insulation touches those cavities.
Attic Insulation Removal
Signs you need it
If you can see animal droppings throughout the insulation, the material is matted down to half its original depth, or you smell something persistent and unpleasant every time you open the attic hatch, it’s time for removal.
What it costs in Richfield
Attic insulation removal in Richfield typically runs $1,500 to $4,500 for a standard postwar rambler, depending on depth, access, and contamination level.
How we do it
We use a commercial vacuum system to extract the old insulation through hoses run to the truck, then clean and prep the attic floor for whatever comes next.
Contaminated Insulation Removal
Signs you need it
Rodent urine or droppings, mold growth from past roof leaks, or insulation that’s been soaked by condensation in a poorly vented attic all require full removal and replacement.
What it costs in Richfield
Contaminated insulation removal with sanitizing in Richfield typically runs $2,000 to $6,000, with the range driven by contamination severity and attic size.
How we do it
We remove the contaminated material, apply an EPA-registered sanitizer to the affected framing, and leave the space ready for new insulation that we install in the same visit.
What Insulation Removal & Replacement Costs in Richfield
| Item | Typical range in Richfield |
|---|---|
| Attic insulation removal | $1,500 - $4,500 |
| Contaminated insulation removal & sanitizing | $2,000 - $6,000 |
| Full removal and replacement | $3,500 - $12,000 |
Is it cheaper to just blow new insulation over old, contaminated material?
No. Blowing over contaminated insulation traps the problem and creates a bigger one later. If there’s rodent activity, mold, or severe compression, removal is the only way to protect your indoor air quality and the new material’s performance. Call (855) 657-3403 for an honest assessment.
How long does a full removal and replacement take in Richfield?
Most Richfield attics finish in one day for removal and one day for replacement, often compressed into a single long visit. Our typical rambler job is done in under eight hours from start to final cleanup.
Attic Air Sealing in Richfield
The single biggest thermal weakness in a Richfield rambler isn’t the insulation level; it’s the dozens of unsealed penetrations where warm air escapes through the attic floor all winter long. Every can light, plumbing vent, top plate, and attic hatch stacks up to the equivalent of leaving a window open year-round. Attic Air Sealing is the work we do before we blow in insulation, because chasing R-value without sealing the air leaks is like upgrading your furnace while leaving the front door open.
Attic Floor Air Sealing
Signs you need it
Dusty or dirty insulation that looks darkened around every penetration, rooms that can’t hold temperature, and frost on the underside of the roof deck in winter all scream air leakage.
What it costs in Richfield
Attic floor air sealing in Richfield typically runs $600 to $2,500 for a standard rambler, depending on how many penetrations need to be addressed.
How we do it
We map every penetration through the attic floor, seal top plates and wire/pipe entries with caulk, foam, or rigid materials, and verify the work with a blower door where appropriate.
Can Light & Duct Boot Sealing
Signs you need it
Recessed can lights that are warm to the touch in winter, or duct boots in the attic that leak conditioned air into the vented space, are two of the most common Richfield bypasses.
What it costs in Richfield
Can light and duct boot sealing in Richfield typically runs $300 to $1,200, often added on to a larger air sealing or insulation project.
How we do it
We replace or seal non-IC-rated can lights with sealed fixtures or covers, and mechanically seal every duct boot to the drywall so conditioned air stays in the room.
What Attic Air Sealing Costs in Richfield
| Item | Typical range in Richfield |
|---|---|
| Attic floor air sealing | $600 - $2,500 |
| Top plate & penetration sealing | $400 - $1,800 |
| Can light & duct boot sealing | $300 - $1,200 |
| Attic hatch sealing | $150 - $500 |
How do I know if my Richfield attic needs air sealing before insulation?
If your attic insulation looks unevenly dirty, darkened, or compressed around penetrations, air is moving through it. Sealing first ensures the new insulation actually performs. We always seal before we blow, and it’s the same visit.
Does air sealing really make a measurable difference?
Yes. Blower door testing on Richfield homes routinely shows 20% to 30% reductions in air leakage after sealing, which translates directly to lower heating bills and fewer ice dams because the warm air never reaches the roof deck.
Wall Insulation in Richfield
Richfield’s postwar ramblers often left the factory with a thin layer of reflective foil or no wall insulation at all, especially in the oldest units built before 1960. The result is rooms that feel drafty even with new windows, because the walls themselves are thermal sieves. Wall Insulation in Richfield usually means drilling and filling from the exterior or interior, and the condition of the siding and sheathing determines the best access point.
Drill & Fill Wall Insulation
Signs you need it
Rooms along exterior walls that stay cold in winter, baseboards that feel drafty even when the heat is running, or visible frost on interior walls in extreme cold all point to empty or under-filled wall cavities.
What it costs in Richfield
Drill and fill wall insulation in Richfield typically runs $2.50 to $5.00 per square foot of wall area, with most full rambler exteriors landing between $4,000 and $10,000.
How we do it
We remove a course of siding or drill interior access holes at each stud bay, pack the cavity with cellulose or injection foam, then patch and finish the access points.
Injection Foam Wall Insulation
Signs you need it
If your walls feel cold and you want an air seal as well as insulation, injection foam fills the cavity and air-seals in one step, which fiberglass or cellulose alone cannot do.
What it costs in Richfield
Injection foam wall insulation in Richfield typically runs $4.00 to $8.00 per square foot of wall area, with most full homes landing between $8,000 and $18,000.
How we do it
We inject slow-rise foam into each stud bay from the exterior or interior, letting it expand to fill the cavity and seal every air leak along the way.
What Wall Insulation Costs in Richfield
| Item | Typical range in Richfield |
|---|---|
| Drill & fill walls | $4,000 - $10,000 |
| Injection foam walls | $8,000 - $18,000 |
| Interior wall soundproofing | $1,500 - $5,000 |
Is it worth insulating the walls on a Richfield rambler?
Yes, and it’s often the difference between a home that holds heat and one that bleeds it. If your walls are empty or under-filled, this single job can cut your heating bill more than any other upgrade. Estimates are free; call (855) 657-3403.
Will drilling into my walls damage the siding or drywall?
We patch everything we open, and on most Richfield homes we can work from the exterior, removing a single course of siding at a time. The finished result is nearly invisible, and our 90-Day Done Right Promise covers the workmanship.
Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing in Richfield
Richfield’s mature tree canopy and tightly spaced postwar lots are ideal conditions for squirrels and mice looking for a warm attic, and these homes have no shortage of entry points. The eave gaps, open soffit returns, and gable vents on ramblers and cape cods built between 1945 and 1965 are essentially welcome mats. Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing starts with locating every opening, then removing the contaminated material, sanitizing, and sealing so the problem stays gone.
Rodent Proofing & Exclusion
Signs you need it
Scratching sounds in the ceiling at dawn or dusk, droppings in the attic, gnawed wood or wiring, or a sudden smell in one room all point to an active rodent problem.
What it costs in Richfield
Rodent proofing and exclusion in Richfield typically runs $800 to $3,000 for a standard rambler, depending on the number of entry points and access difficulty.
How we do it
We identify every entry point, install heavy-duty screens over vents, seal gaps with metal or foam, and confirm the job with a follow-up inspection.
Attic Cleanout
Signs you need it
If you see scattered insulation, nesting material, or years of accumulated dust and debris the first time you peer through the attic hatch, a full cleanout is the right starting point.
What it costs in Richfield
Attic cleanout in Richfield typically runs $700 to $2,500 depending on attic size, debris volume, and whether contamination is present.
How we do it
We vacuum and remove loose insulation and debris, bag and haul away the waste, and leave the attic ready for sanitizing or new insulation in the same visit.
What Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing Costs in Richfield
| Item | Typical range in Richfield |
|---|---|
| Rodent proofing & exclusion | $800 - $3,000 |
| Attic cleanout | $700 - $2,500 |
| Attic sanitizing & decontamination | $1,000 - $3,500 |
| Full attic restoration | $3,000 - $9,000 |
Can you remove squirrels from my Richfield attic and keep them out?
Yes. Exclusion is the permanent fix: we find every entry point, install one-way doors where needed, seal the rest, and verify with a follow-up visit. If the problem returns, our 90-Day Done Right Promise covers the work.
Do I need to leave my Richfield home during attic cleaning?
No. We work in the attic and outside the house, with containment set up to keep dust out of the living space. Most jobs finish in a single day, and we leave the home as clean as we found it.
Home Energy Audit in Richfield
Most Richfield homeowners call us with a symptom: a cold bedroom, a hot upstairs, a heating bill that makes no sense. A home energy audit turns those symptoms into a specific, prioritized work list. Home Energy Audit in Richfield starts with a blower door test that measures how much air the house is actually leaking, then combines that with thermal imaging to find where the heat is going.
Blower Door Test
Signs you need it
If your heating bills are far higher than neighbors with similar homes, or rooms never seem to reach the temperature you set on the thermostat, a blower door will quantify the problem.
What it costs in Richfield
A blower door test as part of a full energy audit in Richfield typically runs $400 to $800, which includes the full diagnostic report and prioritized recommendations.
How we do it
We seal a calibrated fan into an exterior door frame, depressurize the house, and measure the exact cubic feet per minute of air leakage, then locate the biggest leaks by feel and with smoke pencils.
Thermal Imaging Inspection
Signs you need it
Cold spots you can feel but can’t explain, ice dams that form in the same roofline spots every winter, or recurring moisture problems all show up clearly on a thermal camera.
What it costs in Richfield
A thermal imaging inspection in Richfield typically runs $200 to $500 when included with a full audit, or as a standalone diagnostic on its own.
How we do it
We scan walls, ceilings, and floors with an infrared camera while the blower door is running, making air leaks and insulation gaps visible in real time.
What Home Energy Audit Costs in Richfield
| Item | Typical range in Richfield |
|---|---|
| Full home energy audit | $400 - $800 |
| Blower door test (standalone) | $250 - $500 |
| Thermal imaging inspection | $200 - $500 |
| Duct leakage test | $150 - $400 |
What should I expect from a Richfield home energy audit?
You’ll get a measured leak rate, a thermal map of where heat is escaping, and a prioritized list of fixes with honest cost ranges. We don’t use the audit to upsell; we use it so you can make an informed decision. Call (855) 657-3403 to schedule.
Is a home energy audit worth the cost before insulating?
Yes, because it tells you what’s actually wrong. In Richfield homes with MAC acoustic work, the audit often reveals that the assumed insulation isn’t there, and it prevents you from spending money on the wrong fix.

FAQs About Insulation in Richfield, MN
How quickly can we schedule an insulation job in Richfield?
We typically schedule inspections and quotes within a few business days, and most installs finish in a single day depending on the size of the attic, crawl space, or walls involved. After you reach out, we confirm a visit window and send a technician to look at the space before writing up the work.
Does knob-and-tube wiring affect insulation work in Richfield?
Yes. Minnesota code prohibits direct-contact blown-in insulation over active knob-and-tube wiring, which we still find in some of Richfield’s older homes. If your home has this wiring, we’ll point it out during the inspection and explain what electrical work is needed before insulation can be safely installed.
How does the written estimate work?
We inspect the attic, walls, or crawl space in person, measure the area, and check the condition of any existing insulation before writing a fixed price. That estimate is given before any work starts, so the scope and total cost are set in advance with nothing added after the fact.
Which areas near Richfield do we serve?
We regularly work in Houston, Spring, The Woodlands, Katy, Pearland, and Humble as well. If you’re not sure whether your address falls inside our coverage area, send us your zip code and we’ll confirm before scheduling a visit.
What happens to the old insulation when it’s replaced?
We remove and bag the old material before hauling it away for proper disposal, then clean the space if needed before installing anything new. If we find moisture damage, contamination, or pest activity in the old insulation, we’ll point it out and address it as part of the job.

What Richfield Customers Say
"The estimate had every line itemized - removal, sealing, baffles, the blown-in by the bag - and the final invoice matched it exactly. Two other companies quoted a single number and could not tell me what R-value they were installing."
- Priya Raman"Radiant barrier stapled to the rafters plus new baffles at the soffits. Attic temperature dropped enough that the AC runs noticeably less in the afternoon. Crew was in and out in a day and left the garage cleaner than they found it."
- Sam Kessler"Injection foam in the walls of our 1950s house - no drywall demolition, just small holes patched and painted the same day. The street noise in the front bedroom is half what it was."
- Yasmin Farah
