Insulation You Can Count On: A Homeowner’s Guide to Our Process

Urban Sons Insulation • August 7, 2025

When it comes to making your home more comfortable and energy efficient, insulation plays a huge role. Whether it is your attic, walls, basement, crawl space, or ceiling, every part of your home needs the right protection. At Urban & Sons Insulation, we understand that outdated or damaged insulation can cause more problems than you may realize. Drafts, high energy bills, uneven temperatures, and even moisture issues are all signs something may be wrong. That is why we offer a simple, trusted process to help homeowners improve their comfort and save money.


We begin by inspecting your home and identifying areas where insulation may be lacking or underperforming. This includes looking for common signs like rooms that are hard to heat or cool, high utility bills, or insulation that has settled or deteriorated over time. Once we determine what needs to be replaced or upgraded, we walk you through everything step by step. From removal of the old insulation to choosing the right material for your home, we make sure you are fully informed and comfortable with the plan before work begins.




Our Trusted Insulation Options


Before and After Insulation

We offer multiple types of insulation to suit every space and every need.


- Cellulose Insulation: This eco-friendly insulation is made from recycled paper products and treated to resist fire, pests, and mold. It is a great option for attics, walls, and crawl spaces. It also provides strong thermal performance and soundproofing. Homeowners who care about energy efficiency and environmental impact often choose cellulose for its value and effectiveness.


- Spray Foam Insulation: Spray foam is one of the most efficient insulation options available. It is sprayed directly onto surfaces where it expands and hardens, creating an airtight barrier that prevents heat loss. This makes it an excellent choice for sealing gaps, insulating hard to reach areas, and providing long lasting energy savings.


- Fiberglass Insulation: One of the most common and reliable forms of insulation, fiberglass is made from tiny glass fibers and works well in attics, walls, ducts, and around pipes. It resists fire, does not absorb moisture, and provides great year-round temperature control. It is a durable and affordable solution for many homeowners in Western Massachusetts.

Crawl space in need of proper insulation
By Urban Sons Insulation March 24, 2025
Insulating your crawl space creates a barrier that limits the flow of heat between your home’s interior and the outside environment. This barrier helps retain warmth during the colder months and keeps your home cooler when temperatures rise. By reducing the amount of heat that escapes or enters your home, your heating and cooling systems work more efficiently. This means less energy is needed to maintain a comfortable temperature, ultimately reducing your energy bills.
