What El Monte Homeowners Say About Topside Attic Insulation El Monte
We’ve insulated and sealed more than 9,000 homes since 2016, and every job closes with a Documented Photo Record and a written warranty under our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Reviews aren’t something we chase with follow-up emails or discount codes for five stars. They come from showing up on time, naming the price before we touch a tool, and leaving the attic cleaner than we found it. Here’s what homeowners in El Monte and the surrounding neighborhoods have told us after the work was done.
Recent Reviews
“We bought a 1962 ranch in the Mountain View area of El Monte, and the first summer the AC ran nonstop. Wes walked the attic and showed me the original fiberglass batts were compressed to maybe two inches and there were gaps around every can light. His crew air-sealed the top plates and penetrations first, then blew in GreenFiber to R-38. The blower-door test started at 3,800 CFM50 and ended at 1,900. Our August electric bill dropped $87 from the year before. They sent the photo record that evening.”

“I had three quotes for spray foam in my crawl space under the house on Peck Road. One guy wanted to start the next day with no written scope. Another wouldn’t break down materials versus labor. Wes brought a written price with line items, sourced the Demilec open-cell foam I asked about, and stuck to it. The vapor barrier went down first, then the foam on the rim joists. No smell afterward, and the floors aren’t cold anymore. The photo record showed every joist bay before and after.”

“Rodents had torn up our attic insulation in the Durfee area. I called thinking I needed new insulation. Wes found the entry points, had his crew clean and sanitize the space, then rodent-proofed with metal mesh at the eaves and around the plumbing stack. They didn’t sell me insulation I didn’t need yet, just the cleaning and sealing. Six months later, no droppings, no noise. When we’re ready for new batts, we’ll call him back. Honest assessment, written price upfront.”
Christine C., Durfee, El Monte
“My 1980s townhouse near the 10 Freeway had no wall insulation and the attic was maybe R-19 with gaps everywhere. Wes explained dense-pack cellulose for the walls and blown-in for the attic, but only after the air sealing. The crew found a bathroom vent dumping into the attic instead of outside, fixed the routing, sealed it properly, then insulated. The before-and-after blower-door numbers were 4,100 and 2,050. I have the photo record saved. The work happened in February, and we didn’t turn the heater on until Thanksgiving.”
Riya M., near I-10, El Monte
“I got a quote from another company for radiant barrier in my El Monte home on Maxson Road. They wanted to staple foil to the rafters and call it done. Wes explained that without proper attic ventilation and air sealing first, I’d just trap heat. His crew sealed the envelope, added baffles for airflow, then installed the radiant barrier with proper standoffs. The attic temperature dropped 28 degrees on a 95-degree day. He honored the Free Second Opinion, read the competing quote with me, and showed me where the scope was incomplete.”
Angela P., Maxson Road, El Monte
“We needed insulation removal after a roof leak saturated the blown-in cellulose in our crawl space on Tyler Avenue. Three companies wouldn’t touch it because of the moisture. Wes’s crew suited up, removed the damaged material, ran dehumidifiers for two days, then encapsulated with a vapor barrier and closed-cell spray foam. The written price included every phase, no surprises when they hit wet spots. The photo record showed standing water on day one and dry concrete on day four. Under the Haven Standard, they documented everything.”

The 365-Day Done Right Promise means if something’s not right, we make it right, period.
