Crest Insulation Lakewood
Are you comfortable in your home? Or are you spending too much money on air conditioning or heating for your office or work space? A likely reason for this issue is that you do not have proper insulation in your work or home. Or perhaps the insulation you do have is a bit outdated, and could use an upgrade. That is where we come in! Lakewood Insulation is here to provide the insulation you need, to improve your home and help with any heating or cooling issues you are experiencing. We can save you money in the long run, by creating a stronger barrier around your home to keep heat in during the winter, and to keep heat out during the summer. This results in less energy that you have to use and also money savings for you during these extreme temperature seasons. You can be confident and comfortable in your home with this proper insulation. Give us a call today to get started.
Insulation Options & Estimates
We can provide a free estimate once we assess your situation. We can schedule a time to come to your home or place of business to address your needs. We can recommend different types of insulation as we provide many varieties. There are a lot of options out there, and we can easily explain the differences and what the benefits are of each. We provide fiberglass, cellulose, spray foam, mineral wool, polystyrene, polyurethane, reflective, and natural insulation. We can go deeper into the R-value (the measure of the thermal resistance) of each insulation type, and compare and contrast to what you may already have in your walls.
Whether you just bought a new home or are looking to build a new one and need insulation, or your existing one is not performing up to par. Either way, we can help. If you have information about what was done upon building the home, such as who installed the insulation or what type of insulation they used, that would be most beneficial. That would give us a good understanding of what was done so we can make the right adjustments to get your place to where you want it to be.
Lakewood Insulation provides attic and wall insulation for homes and offices, so that you can be comfortable all year round. We focus on customer service and professionalism, and we work directly with you to achieve the result that you want. We can provide suggestions if you are unsure about the different options for insulation that are available to you. Or if you already know what you want, that works too. We do our best to work with any budget to provide the right solution that will work for everyone. Just let us know how we can help today.
Insulation can be used for various things which include reducing the transfer of sound, heat, and electricity from one area to another. This ensures a barrier that limits the flow of energy between these spaces. We focus on thermal insulation which we put in all types of buildings to help regulate the heat that gets transferred between outside and inside. This helps in both types of climate, keeping the buildings warmer inside even when it is cold outside, and also keeping it cool inside when it is scorching hot outside. The insulation is used to reduce the heat exchange through the ceilings, walls, floors, and roofs. By preventing this movement of heat, this insulation thus provides energy efficient solutions. This then helps you as the customer as well as our environment, as you then need to spend less money on heating or cooling, and less energy is consumed as a whole which is good for the environment. We also integrate a bit of acoustic insulation to help with the noise between walls and buildings. So this allows your home or office to be more comfortable and relaxing with the reduced noise being heard from outside.
Everything you need to get it right the first

Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam insulation has been the most popular over the last few years, as improved technology has allowed for a more complex and overall better form of insulation than in the past. Spray foam insulation usually is composed of multiple components that expand and then solidify into a foam that is able to seal gaps and cracks and create an airtight barrier. It is great for both thermal and acoustic insulation, and is probably the best option if you are looking for the most complete and powerful type of insulation available today. This does come with an increased cost compared to some of the older forms of insulation, since it is more expensive to do and make, and also requires a professional to install it properly. Clients keep coming back for more, so it is clearly a superior option if people keep wanting it. After all, opening up your walls or roofs is not really something you want to be doing all the time, so it seems like a good idea to get the best material and do the job right the first time so it could last a lifetime.
Safety and Precautionary Measures
Proper safety precautions are very important, and we here at Lakewood Insulation always stay up to date with any and all building codes and regulations. This is important for a few reasons. The most obvious reason is this allows us to maintain our practice, by adhering to the laws and regulations implemented by cities and states. This also provides us a layer of insurance and gives you added peace of mind when the project gets underway. But even if there were not building codes and regulations enforced by local governments, we would still practice everything they require. Since they mainly just require the bare minimums, we always make sure to take every safety precaution when performing our work. We know how important your home is to you, so we make sure to do the work right the first time, ensuring everything is done as efficiently and safely as possible. If you have any questions about our safety measures, please let us know and we can go into more detail on them with you.
Building Envelope
The building envelope is basically the entire portion of the exterior of the building that keeps all elements from entering the building. It consists of the walls, windows, roof, and foundation. This then controls the temperature of the building, all of the moisture going in and out of the building, as well as the movement of air through the building. So all of these parts need to be working together to achieve the best results. With changing technologies, some of these older practices are starting to be questioned. The main one being the proper ventilation required for attics and similar crawl spaces. These spaces have always been very well ventilated, to try to combat heat transfer, condensation, and stacking issues. But this ventilation allows air to bring in outdoor elements such as moisture, pollution, and allergens. It is found that
spray foam insulation can bring a solution to these issues, stopping this air from coming through even in ventilated attics and spaces. The need for this ventilation is still being debated, but through what we have learned and practiced, we no longer see the need for this ventilation, and just the spray foam insulation is enough to get the desired result you are looking for.
Pest Control Features
There are quite a few ways that insulation can help in reducing and eliminating pests from your home or office building. Insulation can come combined with boric acid, which is deadly to most insects but is perfectly safe for humans and household pets. It can be added into most forms of insulation, and it does not need to be treated or added again, unlike other more basic forms of pest control that may be used throughout a building or house. Also the general aspects of insulation we have mentioned above will help in the reduction of pests. The barrier that insulation creates will fill the gaps, cracks, and crevices to reduce access to insects and rodents. The air sealing techniques will also cover up any of these gaps or openings in walls or floors. Insulation also provides great moisture control, which will make the conditions much less desirable for pests to enter. If you are interested in any more complex or intricate pest control services, we work with other companies in the area that we can refer you to. But the insulation addition will definitely greatly assist in controlling and containing any pests.
Other Types of Insulation
Lakewood Insulation offers other types of insulation because it can depend on the type of insulation that would be best suited for the job. Certain buildings can be constructed in a way that spray foam insulation is the best option to use. While others may need a focus on attic insulation and different approaches to really maximize the effort and use of the materials that are involved in the process. Spray foam insulation often is a great option for commercial buildings, since it provides one of the strongest and longest lasting form of insulation on the market today. Of course that could change in the future, so we are always looking for new ideas and technologies to help improve our products. The focus of a insulation company that offers top notch services is to bring in our own experience to the work. That then results in an efficient and well done job on both ends. Your information and knowledge is critical to a successful outcome as well, we need to know what you are looking for. Also if you have any ideas or inklings on what could be happening with your property to cause the need for our processes. Many times this may not be easily known, and that is why you call up the experts here at Crest Insulation Lakewood so we can come and assist you. Let us work together on this project with you so that we can derive the ideal property for you and you can stop worrying about any insulation issues you are having.
Residential & Commercial Insulation
Lakewood Insulation offers insulation for both homes and offices. There are different approaches that need to be taken for each type, but with our years of experience in the industry, this is no problem for us. We need to get some background information, as any company would before starting an insulation project. This is best done from the actual location of where the job will be done, so scheduling a walk through is the best option to start the process. Commercial jobs are usually larger due to the size of the buildings, which in turn usually mean a higher cost and longer length of time to complete the job. Lakewood Insulation will walk you through all of your options, providing you an estimate of the cost as well as the time it will take to complete the job. Spray foam insulation is probably best for commercial buildings, since it is one of the strongest forms of insulation and longest lasting. We usually recommend insulating large commercial buildings with as high an R-value as possible, since there are large amounts of space within these complexes. Of course the ultimate decision is up to you, but we will provide you with our recommendations. Over time this would save large amounts of money in energy bills since the building will be at a pretty comfortable temperature year round without the use of heat or air conditioning. Residential Insulation is similar, again
spray foam insulation is probably the best option, but comes with a higher cost. So there are other more affordable options that we offer, but with a bit of an inferior insulation result. But some areas or homes may not need spray foam insulation, so we can assess that at your home to decide what would be best, and what options we have that would fit your needs.
Potential Rebates - Pasadena
There are programs throughout California that are offered by local governments to help assist with the cost of adding insulation to your home or office. This is especially due to the usually high temperatures that California sees almost year round, so cities are working hard to try to reduce the overall consumption of energy. This reduction in energy use will help reduce strains on our state as well as reduce the carbon footprint. Most cities will require a certain R-value to be achieved with the insulation that you would install, which we can definitely accommodate. Just let us know what R value they require and we can meet it. One example of a program nearby is one in Pasadena where they are offering ceiling insulation rebates for up to 15 cents per square foot. Just search for similar insulation rebates in your city to see how you can qualify for savings, while improving the value of your home and also cutting down on your electricity
