How What’s Behind the Walls Impacts Your Builds and Your Business
When people walk through a finished home, they notice the countertops, the flooring, the paint. What they don’t see, but absolutely feel is the insulation. And when it’s not done right, that’s when the complaints start rolling in.
For contractors, insulation is one of the most important trades on a jobsite. It directly affects energy efficiency, comfort, air quality, and even noise control. Yet, too often, it’s treated as a box to check off instead of a system that needs real attention.
Your Name is on the Line with Every Sub You Hire
As a contractor, you’ve built your business on trust. That trust extends to the people you bring onto your jobsite. If a sub doesn’t show up on time, cuts corners, or uses low-quality materials, it reflects back on you. That’s why insulation subcontractors should be held to the same standards as your core team.
Look for crews who are properly trained, licensed, insured, and who understand the importance of detail especially in hard-to-reach areas like attics, crawlspaces, and basements. The difference between a rushed job and a professional install can mean the difference between a happy client and a callback.
Think Beyond the Minimum Code
Building codes set the minimum standard but when it comes to insulation, bare minimum rarely means best. Smart contractors are going above code, using better materials and installation techniques that boost energy efficiency and comfort.
