The “Cheap” Insulation Trap
Scrolling through Facebook Marketplace, you might find ads promising half-price insulation installs or same-day spray foam service. It’s easy to think you’re getting a great deal — until the problems begin.
Unlicensed installers often use low-grade materials, unsafe methods, and zero quality control. What starts as a quick fix can lead to moisture damage, mold growth, higher energy bills, and even health issues from improper spray foam mixing.
No License. No Insurance. No Accountability.
When you hire from Facebook Marketplace, you’re taking a risk. Most of these “contractors”:
Don’t have licenses or insurance
Don’t provide written contracts or warranties
Disappear the moment a problem arises
If your attic is damaged or the foam fails, you’re left paying for the repairs out of pocket.
At Attic Buddies, every technician is licensed, insured, and background-checked. We use certified materials that meet or exceed federal energy codes, and every job includes a written warranty and customer support.
The Spray Foam Nightmare
Spray foam insulation is one of the most effective ways to seal an attic — but only when done right.Untrained installers frequently:
Mix chemicals at the wrong temperature or ratio
Use expired foam that never cures properly
Skip ventilation and safety equipment
Spray unevenly, creating gaps and air leaks
The result? Toxic fumes, cracking foam, and expensive removal costs.
At Attic Buddies, our spray foam specialists are trained in proper temperature control, ventilation, and precision application to ensure your attic performs safely and efficiently.
The Fiberglass Fail
Poor fiberglass installation is another hidden danger. Cheap installers often:
Compress the insulation, cutting its R-value in half
Fail to air-seal before installing
Skip vapor barriers, causing condensation and rot
Blow new insulation over dirty or contaminated old material
Attic Buddies does it the right way — removing old insulation, air-sealing leaks, sanitizing, and then installing the proper R-value of fiberglass or spray foam for long-term comfort.
No Warranty Means No Protection
A Facebook installer might say, “If there’s a problem, I’ll come back.”But once they’re paid, they’re gone.
At Attic Buddies, we provide:
Written warranties
Before-and-after photos
Digital reports through your personal customer portal
We don’t just insulate attics — we build lasting relationships with homeowners who want to protect their investment.
