Insulation contractors and drywall contractors are involved in providing and installing insulation systems and/or materials in homes and buildings. The services of insulation contractors and drywall contractors can be tapped for new home or building contraction, home additions, alterations, home maintenance, and home repairs.

Insulation contractors also sell materials for insulation systems. So, you may want to purchase insulation materials from these contractors then tap your choice of installation installers. However, insulation contractors themselves are capable of installing your preferred insulation materials.

If you decide to tap a professional insulation contractor for your construction project and don’t know where to start, you can check out the website of the Insulation Contractors Association of America (ICAA). The ICAA is a professional organization whose members adhere to its code of business ethics. This assures you that you are dealing with a professional insulation contractor. You may also want to ask for a list of references from prospective contractors to ensure their reliability and trustworthiness.

Federal and state regulations require insulation contractors to provide certain information to their customers when selling and/or installing insulation materials. They are required to give customers a contract or receipt of the insulation they install. The receipt should contain information such as the thickness and R-value of the insulation material they used.

You may seek the expert advice of your insulation contractor on the type of insulation material that is suitable to your home or office. There are various kinds of insulation but foam insulation is said to be the most popular among homeowners due to its versatility. One of the benefits of foam insulation is that it is easy to install in small spaces and can hold its shape for a longer period of time. One disadvantage of foam insulation, however, is that it’s more expensive than other materials and easily burns.

In the United States, insulation contractors are represented by a professional organization called Insulation Contractors Association of America (ICAA).
