"I wanted to add a radiant barrier and blown in insulation to my attic. I live in the foothills in the country, and it is often difficult to find qualified contractors around here, and sometimes it is even impossible. My attic is a difficult, tight space of scissor trusses that already had R30 batted insulation, but I wanted more. I could find only 3 contractors in about a 40ish mile radius; only one of them was local. One of the three, over the phone, as a matter of policy, flat refused to do residential attics with scissor trusses. The local guy, Tim Thornhill of All Sierra Roof in Jackson, never showed up to his appointment without any cancellation call: I scratched him off my list. The third folks were farther away, Dri Supply, aka Sequoia, in San Andreas. They came all the way over to do an assessment and we discussed various ways to do the job and they gave me some reasonable estimates. I liked them, and was about to go forward that way when I figured I should try to look for one more contractor. I watch the This Old House Hour, so I tried Home Advisor and Lo and Behold they found a contractor about the same distance (about an hour) away: Coldani Insulation. I emailed him on the weekend and received an immediate response on Monday. He came over arriving promptly at the time we arranged. I had always wanted to see a thermal image of my walls and ceiling, and I noticed Richard was doing something with his phone. He was attaching his thermal camera! We could easily see the bridging of the joists with it. We climbed into the attic and discussed insulation for some time: it was clear to me that he is knowledgeable in his field as well as very experienced. I decided to do all that he recommended: seal all penetrations, install a radiant barrier and blow in fiberglass insulation to R60. He wrote up a proposal and sent it to me. I now had two contractors to consider, and a fair idea of how much it should cost. I considered getting a quote from Dri Supply to compare, but it was now four months into my search and frankly, Richard had impressed my socks off. I can't offer a comprehensive review of his "value for the money", because I didn't bother with it: I knew I wanted Coldani (and I trusted him implicitly). Richard & company arrived on time and as I expected, the job went smoothly: those awkward scissor trusses that one contractor wouldn't touch were just another day at the office for Coldani Insulation. Richard's professionalism, trustworthiness and courtesy are head and shoulders above anyone that I have ever hired. Watching This Old House, I used to think, "wouldn't it be nice to find someone that good to work on my house? ...yeah, right." Well I DID!!"

"I had old insulation in my attic and the temperature at home was not as pleasant as it should be. I hired CA Attic Solution for insulating our attic. The company insulated the attic in most professional way with high quality materials. There were onetime and responsive. I highly recommend this company for others too. Thumbs up."

"HE SHOWED ME PICTURES OF THE ATTIC AND HOW LOW THE INSULATION WAS. THEN DID THE WORK AND SHOWED ME HOW HIGH THE INSULATION WAS NOW. HE SEALED ANY LEAKS AND THE COOL AIR SEEMS TO STAY IN THE HOUSE. IT'S COOL INSIDE WITHOUT LOWERING THE CONTROL TO BELOW 0 DEGREES. WOULD RECOMEND TO ANYONE TO CALL HIM."

"They kept in contact by phone and email. Celso crawled all over my attic, fixed the vent screens, used the sunlight to plug up gaps in the roof so animals can't get in, and explained every step he was doing. While up on the ladder, he also checked my smoke detector! Nice people."

"Able to get work done just a few days after contact. No disruption to the household daily routine. Patrick was very easy to work with. Cost was much lower than the one other quote received. Only complaint was that he covered a walkway in the attic that I had requested be left clear. No big deal."
