It rolls into our free estimate process. There's no separate fee for the walkthrough and recommendation.

Most visits run 30 to 60 minutes depending on how many areas we're evaluating. The written recommendation follows within a couple of days.

Is open-cell or closed-cell better for my attic?

Depends on your attic's ventilation setup and how much moisture it sees. That's exactly what the walkthrough is for.

You get a written recommendation and, if you want to move forward, a full project quote based on that recommendation.

Can I get a consultation without committing to a project?

Yes. It's a standalone service, not a sales appointment in disguise.
